CDD Mini Release Blog Hop Day 1

Welcome to the CDD Mini Stamp & Die Release Blog Hop.  
All stamps are in the CDD Shop and now available for purchase.

You may purchase stamps HERE.

Today I created two projects to share with you...

My first project is a shaker card using the crayon stamp. I used a few different CDD sequin mixes to make a rainbow mix. I colored the crayon with my Spectrum Noir markers. The layers are made with the new Fancy Frames Dies.

The happy little stars are from the So Long stamp set.

For my second project I made a backpack shaped card. I made the card base in DS using the Doodlecharms cartridge. I chose a paper that looked like Denim.

I popped up the pockets and tucked in the school supplies. I hand cut a little tag and stamped "you rule" on it. I added metallic silver zippers to both pockets.

Lastly I added the adorably nerdy little worm. I put on a pretty little bow from the Bitty Blessing stamps and glittered it up. I added glossy accents to her glasses and stamped the sweet sentiment on the pocket.

Wild Card Heart Cards

I made some cards using the Cricut Wild Card Cartridge. I found this cut with a heart and thought it would work nicely for Valentine's Day.

 

 

I used a Studio G stamp that fit perfectly in the porthole and the small heart cuts are from the Doodlecharms cartridge. The red & white twine, that I love, is from the One Spot at Target of all places. It is the nice and thick and rich in color. It is better than my AC twine. I cut it at 5 1/2 inches and it will fit in an A2 envelope. But I did make the matching envelopes for fun. I stickled the hearts for sparkle.

 

 

I mixed and matched paper and tried ribbons along with heart bling on this one. I stickled and added some rich red glitter around the sentiment.  These are perfect for the Cardztv Color Challenge of only using Red, Black and White. Wouldn't it be awesome if I won! I love Mary's blog and watch all her videos. I would just love to win her stamps!

 

I tried buttons and some embossed silver metallic paper on this one. I went for a Stampendous birthday stamp seeings how you can never have too many birthday cards in your stash.

 



 

This one is my favorite. It is the same as the 1st one but I used some sparkly metallic paper for the big heart. I think this contrast worked the best.

 

 

So there you have it! A few cards for now.
