Yup that's right - my new CC Designs sets have finally arrived!! And I got the chance to sit down yesterday and make a few cards with them so I'll share a couple of them here today:
First off I can NOT take credit for this idea at all - I totally CASE'd it from Val's card here <-----click! I LOVED her card and had to make something similar!
I decided to make mine a little boy's Valentine card (I don't even have boys but I think that's why I enjoy making boy cards - they're a little more challenging for me b/c I'm drawn to all things pink/girly/glittery LOL!) so I also kept it on the simple theme.
The little parachute was made by running a piece of patterned paper (from DCWV's Nana's Kids paper pack) through my Cuttlebug with an oval Nestabilities die - then cutting it almost in half with a pair of scalloped scissors.
I adhered the parachute with dimensionals and attached string to it (threaded it through the paper with a needle) and attached the other ends to the "falling" Lucky (seriously is he not the cutest thing ever? I love these sets....)
Lucky was colored in with Copic markers and then adhered after threading the string through his paws.
The sentiment is from MFT's Falling For You set (too perfect for this card!), the colored card stock is Stampin' Up! (the white is Papertrey), and the ribbon is also SU! (retired).
STAMPS: Love Ya Much set by CC Designs, Falling For You set by My Favorite Things. CS: Papertrey White, Bashful Blue, Real Red, Black (Stampin' Up!). INK: Brilliance Graphite Black, Copic Markers. ACCESSORIES: Nestabilities Oval Die, Fiskars Scalloped Scissors, String, Dimensionals, Ribbon.
This card uses images from the Love Ya Lots set - I stamped the lion then colored him in with Copic Markers.
I masked him and stamped the Mini Oval from A Muse in pink to ground him, then went over his mane with Sakura's Quickie glue pen.
Before the glue dried I pressed Fun Flock (Caramel Latte Tan) onto it - so it's all fuzzy!! I think it turned out SO cute! (you can click the pictures to get pop-up windows with a bigger view).
The sentiment is from the set, I stamped it onto Pretty in Pink (Stampin' Up!) card stock then punched it out with my Marvy Extra Jumbo Scalloped Heart Punch (the yellow one) and adhered it to the card with dimensionals.
I finished off the card with a little Piggy Takes patterned paper, brown Prima Sprite and black glitter brad (from the Making Memories Halloween brad pack LOL!)
