DT Showcase

Hello and happy Tuesday!  Hope you are having a great week!

We have some super cute CCM creations for you today!

Alice

"You’ll love the digital sets from Chi Chi Memories especially when you can change the size of your images.  It’s super easy and helps when you are creating size and design.  Get your images today before the next stamp set is release in August.  Beach Time is the stamp for your July creations!"

Lynda

"I knew when I printed this cute bear that I wanted to make sure that he really stood out on my card.  I printed the image twice onto cardstock.  I colored both images using my Copic markers.  I then created the background using chalks; keeping the colors soft and subtle.  I then cut out the top arm and ear from the second image mounting them onto the base image using liquid dimensional glue.  I then layered coordinating cardstock behind my image.  I just adore this bear and think he makes a perfect image for just about every kind of card!"

Katherine

"For my card this week I used Jordy dressed as a clown from the Happy Carnival Stamp Set. I colored my main image with Spectrum Noir markers, and the tickets are stamped with Tangerine Tango ink. I used paper from Best Creation Inc. called Let's Party. and paper pieced the balloons in Jordy's hand from the back side of the paper. This would make a great birthday card, thank you card, or a get well soon card for a child, so I left the inside greeting free."

Check out this adorable card by our guest DT Steph, super cute!

Kerry

Happy Carnival stamp set and 4th of July stamp set

"Time to celebrate!  Since July 4th is next week, how about some red, white, and blue?  Meet Candace and Jordy at the carnival!!!  I cut out the ferris wheel from the Happy Carnival stamp set (do you see the teddy bear?  Hehe!) and adhered with foam dots, and I did the same with Candace and Jordy/"

Kim

Spring is here stamp set

"This card is made using the adorable stamp from the Happy Spring set. The image is colored in using Copic markers. I wanted to make the stamp the main focus so the background is done in a CAS style. I used 3-D foam tape to pop up the image for some dimension."

Marcee

single digital stamp Bike with you or Meaning of Love stamp set

For this weeks card I used the adorable Bike with you single stamp. I die cut the image with a circle die from Spellbinders and popped it up with pop-dots on a simple base of Kraft and 2 papers from Echo Park's A Perfect Summer. This image can also be found in the Meaning of Love stamp set.  

Melissa 

 single digital stamp Bike with you or Meaning of Love stamp set

"Summertime = bike riding with friends!

I think this image is just the cutest thing and it's available individually or in a set. I decided I needed to dust off some kraft paper for this card and see what happened.  I wanted both to have brown hair and rosy cheeks and I used Copic markers to color the image.  Naturally I couldn't get away from adding a wake up color so I worked in some yellow to just help that image pop off the card."

Karen

Always by your side stamp set or Sympathy Collection stamp set

"This week, the city in which in I live has experienced and survived some major flooding.  Although my home was not directly affected by the flood, I can't help but think about all the people who have been so drastically affected by this disaster.  So today, I thought I would share a little "get well soon" card. This darling image is from the "Sympathy collection" and there are so many great digis to work with in this collection.  I teamed it up with the DCWV Sunday Afternoon Matte stack and just worked a bit on creating a few layers for dimension (but not too many so that it becomes a problem for mailing).  I hope that it brings a little bit of sunshine into the day of someone who might be having trouble seeing it elsewhere!?"

Don't forget... we are having a guest DT call, want more information?  Scroll down or click HERE!!!

Hello CCM friends, hope you are having a wonderful day.  

We are sharing some fun and beautiful creations from our DT.

Lawren 

Check out this adorable card using Spring is Here set!

"For my project, I used the single flower image from the Spring is Here set.  In MS Word. I repeated the images for a panel; printed my sentiment and finally embossed the background for a very quick and simple card."

Lynda

How about  some swinging fun from the Summer Fun set?

 "Swinging is fun, but it's so much better when you do it with a friend.  I decided to combine the two images from the Summer Fun set and added the sentiment below the image before printing it.  The images are colored with Copics and the background is done with chalks.  For added dimension I used thin twine along the swings for some extra fun!"

Katherine

Time to celebrate!  Check out the super cool card using the  4th July set!

 "My card was created using ink pads and a blending pen. It is a double easel card with white waffle paper and Sizzix Die Cut Stars. The card folds flat for mailing and fits perfectly into a 5x7 envelope."

Alice

Don't forget to say hello to clown Jordy from the Happy Carnival set 

and all his cool balloons from the Tea Party set.

"Celebrations are super fun especially when it comes to clowns and balloons.  I loved the balloons from the Tea Party set so I printed them out several times onto printed paper and added twine to give them the appearance of floating.  The clown is from the Happy Carnival set and I added glitter to his outfit so he shines as the star of the card."

Hope you like them and we will bring to another fun DT showcase this Friday!

Let the party begin!

Lawren

Who wouldn't want to go fly a kite on such a fun summer day?  

Lynda used Summer Fun set and she printed the sun and kite image twice and popped the image

off the card using dimensional glue.  The images are colored using Copics as well as chalk.

Katherine

Monotone Colouring

Hello everyone! It's me again today... I think I'm addicted to video taping now. I'm going to start video taping everything I do.. lol

I've actually recorded to video clips. One will be this one I'm showing you today, the monotone coloring. It's not really a tutorial but just to share with you how I do my coloring.

There will be one more simple video on how to make the monotone Jordy card! I'll post it up soon!



Yup... it's in super fast forward mode! lol.. hope you like it!

Stamp used in this video: Jordy the clown

Have a wondrous halloween!!

Hello crafters! It's Monday again, that means back to work again... sigh...lol. Let's think of something exciting! Halloween is coming up in a month! Are you ready for the spooky night? I have Jordy here dressed up as a clown! He's ready for a wondrous halloween!

I've decided to color him in monotone since all of my cards are always so colorful. I really like how it turned out. Thanks to the new nesties I've bought, they make the card looks amazing! The effect of the circle layers turned out quite nice, I'm happy with this card.


This card is also done with sketch challenge #15, play our sketch challenge and win some FREE CCM stamps!

Here's a close up look of Jordy. I've recorded a video of how I colored him and another video of making this card. I will post them up as soon as I finished editing them :)
The spellbinder beaded circles are very nice :)

Hope you like this card! Have a wonderful day~
