Creative Clear Stamps Blog Hop!!!

Are you ready for another Creative Clear Stamps Blog Hop! I am so excited and this time EVERYONE can join and share their Creative Vision using their favorite Creative Clear Stamps.

And here is the inside...

I made a Flap Card that I have just been dying to share.... It is hard to narrow down my absolute favorite Creative Clear Stamp set so from the Holiday stamp selection, I chose Let It Snow. This snowman is just adorable and I love the cute sentiments and tree image in this set. I will be sharing how to make this (really EASY) card next week on the CCS Blog on next Wednesday so be sure to stop by there so you can make you own....Did I say it was easy??? It is, It IS!

Be sure to stop by the Design Team members blogs: Laura, Linda, Shelly, Lisa, Rebecca as well as the very creative and talented Olga, Patti, and Theresa.

Laura will also be giving away a new release to one lucky commenter from one of the blog comments, so be sure leave a comment at each stop. You just never know whose blog will be picked! You can look for the announcement of the winner over on the Creative Clear Stamps Blog: A Fairy Creative Place.

Have a wonderful day!
Blessings,

Let It Snow Slider Card

I thought this cute little snowman from Let It Snow would be cute punched out with the scalloped circle punch and twirling across in slider card fashion. I stamped the scene first using the trees from Let It Snow which are paper pieced with Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses. If you want to see how I created this step-by-step, I have a tutorial over on the Creative Clear Stamps Blog.

I am so tickled with how this turned out. I ended up with a 5x5 card and love that is larger than the standard size card.  Have a wonderful day!

Season's Greetings

Today I want to share a holiday card I made using two Creative Clear Stamp sets. I used the tree from Let It Snow and the sentiment is from the set Holiday Sentiments (which I used to create the background). Paper piecing is a favorite technique of mine and I used the designer paper from the Basic Grey June Bug 6x6 pad. This green pattern is perfect for the Christmas trees! Since this week the creative challenge for Creative Clear Stamps is buttons...I added a button to the center of my plaid bow..and of course I had to add a bit of snow with Polar White Flower Soft.

I hope you enjoyed what I had to share today and now for the big FUN news...TOMORROW we are having a Blog Hop and with that comes 5 chances at blog candy, Woo~Hoo!!! Have a wonderful day!
Blessings,

Just Us Girls #2

I made this for the fun new challenge blog Just Us Girls whose challenge this week was to make a card using the paper piecing technique. I immediately thought of the trees in Let It Snow and wanted to paper piece similar to what I saw Linda do a earlier this month with this tree.

I stamped the trees from Let It Snow with Memento ink and stamped the snowflakes using Versamark and clear embossed them before sponging so they would really pop and look like falling snow. The trees were paper pieced with Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses dp for mine and love the swirly pattern. Lastly I added some Polar White Flower Soft for the snow.  (edited to add...the only thing I forgot was to add a bit of pink, Oops!, now I will just have to make another card) *~*

Have a wonderful day!
Blessings,

CCS Challenge: Creative Texture

Welcome to the first Creative Clear Stamps Challenge.  We are thrilled to be starting our own challenges each and every Monday.  We would love for you to play along and on the CCS Blog you can link up your project, we would just love to see it!   Lisa is our challenge coordinator and this week the challenge she has for us is all about Creating Texture!  One of my favorite ways to create texture is none other than using my Cuttlebug and Embossing Folders! I am all about my Cuttlebug and use it to some degree for nearly every card whether using embossing folders or Nesties.

I used the stamp set Let It Snow and added texture to this card in two ways...obviously the Snowflake Embossing Folder, but  I also added some Polar White Flower Soft for snow at the feet...wait a minute, snowmen don't have feet...ummmmm, around the bottom of the snowman..that doesn't sound right either....You know what I mean! hee~hee! I think this snowman is just the cutest little thing...he is just enjoying the snow.  Each stamp in this set is just adorable and perfect for creating Christmas/winter cards.  

If you are looking for more inspiration on Creative Texture, be sure to stop by the CCS Blog as well as Linda's.
Have a great day!
Blessing,

Creative Clear Stamps Blog Hop!!!

I am so excited for the first ever Creative Clear Stamps Blog Hop. The new Holiday Stamps are so stinkin' cute and just perfect for the upcoming holidays... You can check them all out HERE and don't forget if you are signed up for the newsletter, there is a coupon code that is a MUST HAVE! When I saw it I was like, "ka-ching!" I am having a hard time picking an absolute favorite and need them all (hee~hee).

I had a hard time deciding which card to share so posted one here and one on the CCS Blog :o) Sound good?
I made this card using the stamp set Let It Snow. I am so loving the new Basic Grey designer paper and love the colors and patterns of Eskimo Kisses. (Isn't that a cute name too!) I stamped the tree twice and paper pieced the one I stamped onto green cardstock and added some Polar White Flower Soft to create SNOW!!!! I used my Snowflake CB folder on the Certainly Celery layer and the colors just pop together :o) I do believe I have found one of my Christmas card designs for this year! A little non-traditional in the choice of colors, but I like it!  Here is the inside:

The top part ended up being a little crooked, but I fixed it after the picture and forgot to go back and take another one...Oops!
You can win a CCS stamp set of your own if you sign up to be a Follower on the CCS Blog (if you aren't already) and finally don't forget to check in on these Design Team Members and leave a comment for even more chances to win the blog candy:
