OK folks I FINALLY have a card to share with y'all using some of the new CCDesigns March stamps!
I had originally planned on doing a video of making the entire card, but after filming the coloring part my camera battery died (of course). So only one quick video today but I definitely plan on doing more card-making vids in the future!
Anywho on to the card:
I HAD to use the new CCD Birthday Monkey image first. Isn't he the cutest thing EVER?
And here's the video I made of me coloring it:

I added some Christmas Red Stickles to the cherry to make it all sparkly (I was planning on making it glossy but I couldn't find my glossy accents so I went with the Stickles instead), and adhered the monkey to the card with dimensionals.
All the patterned paper is from the Basic Grey Hopscotch collection - I used the papers, ribbon doilies (thelittle banners that I crisscrossed at the top of the cardfront) and buttons that I got from the collection.
The latest Wednesday Challenge on the ATS Weekly Wednesday Challenge blog is to use buttons - make sure to check it out (and play along if you can!). I use buttons pretty much on every other card so this one was easy.
The sentiment is from my new It's Your Birthday set. I stamped it with black ink onto one of the patterned papers, trimmed it with my paper trimmer then used scissors to make it into a little flag. I added a button to the one side and think it turned out so cute!
On the inside of the card I used a sentiment from the Best Birthday Wishes set, and the pinked edge was made with the CCD Saw Tooth Die. I've had that die for a while and haven't used it then while making this card I pulled it out and actually had a lot of fun with it! I added a strip that I cut with it to the inside of the card and if you look at the card front you can see I cut 3 pieces with the die then added some May Arts crinkle ribbon over it.
I finished off the inside of the card by stamping the cupcake portion of the Birthday Monkey image, coloring it in then cutting it out and adhering it and that was it!
Gotta run - I have a Zumba class in a few minutes and I don't want to be late!
