CDS - Clean and Simple Blog Hop

Happy Sunday to you!  Thank you for taking part in this months Clearly Digi Stamps monthly blog hop! If you've already started hopping you should have come from Jennifer's blog, if not you'll want to start back at the CDS Challenge Blog.  The theme this month is "Clean and Simple", I never realized how hard it is to make something "simple" :).  However I tried and this is what I came up with:

 A closer view of the image:

Okay, I promised myself I'd get started on some Christmas cards in July, I actually try to do this every year and because this awesome set of images has this awesome pre-colored holly swags I decided to try them and now I can say I successfully started on Christmas cards in July, so nice! For my clean and simple card I rotated the swag so that I could place one on the bottom and just cut and pasted them in Word so that I can print them, I cut the image out using Spellbinders Labels One and layered it on red using the Spellbinders Decorative Labels One, I embossed the green using a holly embossing folder from Sizzix and last I cut out the holly in the corner with a Martha Stewart punch and an ordinary small hole punch for the berries.  Pretty simple.

Okay you could win your very own set called Seasonal Swags (see below) by just leaving me a comment.  One random winner will be pulled and the winner will be announced on Thursday 7/25, so be sure to leave me your e-mail address so you can be contacted with the good news! Good Luck!

 

From here your off to Dee's Blog, happy hopping!

July New Release

 

That's right it's time for a new release over at Clearly Digi Stamps and as always there's some awesome new digis available, here's 2 I was asked to work with:

First up is a set called Dinos:

 A closer look, as you can see I popped out both dinosaurs:

 

The paper for this one is from the Animal Crackers pad from DCWV and the stamp is from a place called Creative Pals in Brookfield Wisconsin, an awesome store I try to get to once a year.

 

Next up is The Grind:

 

 Couldn't resist had to create another similar version:

Other than the two Martha Stewart stamps and some bling both of these cards used the paper and images right from the set, one thing I so love about CDS is you get such nice complete sets at a reasonable price :).

Be sure to head on over to the store to check all the other new release sets and get great inspiration from the rest of the team!

CDS Sponsoring Sentimental Sunday's Challenge

 

 

Good Morning and happy Sunday to you! The weekends almost over but good thing today has only just begun :)  I have a little treat to share today, Clearly Digi Stamps is sponsoring the challenge today over at Sentimental Sundays, the challenge is to use all things "Digital" and for this card I used the cute CDS set called "Birthday Bash":

 For this one I used Purple as the main color and Turquoise to bring out the color in the gift box.

So then I couldn't resist and did one with the colors in reverse:

 Thanks for coming by today and good luck to you should you join this great challenge too!

Some Awesome News!!!

Hi there! So glad you came by today! Hope you are doing well too.  I have some exciting news to share! I've been asked to be a Design Team Member for Clearly Digi Stamps!  Clearly Digi Stamps is opening a brand new store today too!  Be sure to check it out!

 

Clearly Digi Stamps is pretty unique because not only do the sell such cute images they sell almost all of them in packages most times the package includes the outline images, colored images, matching paper and sentiments.

 For my project today I used the images from the set called Construction, this included the background paper and a sentiment, check it out:

Are these not the cutest images?  The saying is too cute as well, something you could give to a good friend for helping you out, just to say "thanks".

Be sure to head on over to the new store to check it out and see the new digi stamps!  Thanks for coming by!
