I am so excited to annouce that I am now a member of the Clearly Digi Stamps Design Team (formerly Clear Dollar Stamps)!

        

       

I could not believe it when last month I got an email from Jerusha inviting me to join the CDS Design Team! I actually thought she had made a mistake, and contacted the wrong person! Lucky for me, she didn't! And now I get to play with these super cute digis and show them off to you! YAY! :)

       

And even better, today is NEW RELEASE DAY! So not only I am sharing my big news, I also have some new digi's to share too!

(Just a warning... this is a LONG, picture heavy post!)

      

First up is a fabulous birthday set designed by the amazingly talented Lisa Lara... here is Eat More Cake!

      

    

As soon as I saw those candles, I had this idea! My twin girls have their 6th birthday in March, and this will be one of their cards! The polka dot pattern is a digital paper from the Rainbow Notes set, printed onto white cardstock. I colored the flames with Copics, then smothered them in glitter! A pretty simple card, but it turned out exactly like I had imagined! Love when that happens!

       

      

Next up is another set designed by Lisa Lara, called Some Bunny... perfect for those upcoming Easter projects!

        

      

I made a cute little Easter treat using the set... it is a Sour Cream Container I made following directions I found on Splitcoaststampers. I used a larger piece of cardstock for mine though (8 1/2" x 4 1/4"), and adhered the edges on the long side rather than the short side, so it would resemble a carrot! The gingham pattern is a digital paper included in the set, printed onto white cardstock.

     

    

Overalls - B99, B97, B95, B93

Carrots - YR18, YR15, YR12, YR00

Carrot Tops - YG17, YG13, YG03, YG01

Ears, Nose - R32, R20, R30, R00

                                   

Here is a close up of the tag attached to the treat... I cut it from the CC Cutters Stamp Label Die, but pre-scored the cardstock before cutting to create a little flap at the bottom of the tag. The flap was decorated with a strip of patterned paper from the Doodlebug Springtime 6x6 pad that I printed the joke onto, and the top edge is trimmed with scallop scissors. I colored the bunny with Copics, and textured his overalls using a scrap of denim soaked in some Copic Blender Solution. Then fussy cut him out, and popped him up in front of the "grass".

 

              

And one more close-up... the flap untucks from under the feet to reveal the hidden punchline!

           

   

And that is ALL! If you made it this far, thanks for sticking with me! :)
