Hi crafty friends!!

I'm popping in on this lovely Sunday to share a cute little card with you! 

 

I've said it before... I just can't get enough of these adorable new characters from the Roberto's Rascals line of stamps. This little sweetie is from the Ice Scream set. I colored her up to match some patterned paper from the Doodlebug Sugar Shoppe 6x6 Pad. She is fussy cut and popped up in front of a cut out from my C.C. Cutters Circle Die, inked with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. I backed the circle with one of the C.C. Cutters Scalloped Circle Die, and added a few Enamel Dots (pink from the Smoochie set, and tan from the Autumn set) and some burlap string to finish off the card.

Today is RELEASE DAY for all of our new JULY products at C.C. Designs!! As you have seen from our Preview Days, all of these new products are AMAZING! For the month of July, we have 6 adorable character stamp sets (2 are from a brand new artist), 1 Circle Cut & Stitch Die, and a coordinating Circles Stencil!

   

I couldn't wait to use the new Circle Cut and Stitch Die along with the coordinating Circle Stencil!! These two work perfectly together, but they will also be so fun to play with individually! For this card, I inked up the Circles Stencil to create a fun background with Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Inks. Then I layered a cut out from the Circle Cut and Stitch Die over the top... I wanted it to look like little bits of sunlight shining through the holes. I colored up the adorable new My Big Wheels stamp , and popped him up on the front.

It's time for this month's Design Team Dare at Your Next Stamp!! This time, we've been "dared" to

FRAME IT!

    

This was the perfect chance to use the new Stitched Circle Frame Die Set! I paired it with one of my new favorites... the cute little ants from Picnic Phoebe. I colored each of the fruits a different color, and popped them up in front of some grass cut from the Chunky Grass Die. Finished it off with a little bit of Doodlebug Twine to match the paper and that's it!

I've colored up the new Little Pixies Popsicle image for today's card... isn't she cute?! I paired her with some scraps of paper from my Doodlebug Fruit Stand and Kraft in Color pads, cut her out, and popped her up in front of a Circle Die sponged with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.

Welcome to the Your Next Stamp July Release Blog Hop!!

This release is full of sweet goodies perfect for summer fun, back to school preparations, and more!

   

Up first, I've used the adorable ants from the new Picnic Phoebe stamp set. I had this cute ant print paper from the Doodlebug Patriotic Picnic 6x6 Pad, and really wanted to use it with the stamp set. So, I colored up several of the ants, changing up the colors on one to make a hot pink ant! The sentiment is from an older set called Flip the Bird.

    

 

Black Ants - T8, T6, T4, T2, R20

Pink Ant - RV29, RV25, RV23, RV21

    

My second card today features the beautiful new Little Darling Mermaid...

I wish you could see this one up close in person... I've covered her hair with sparkle from my Wink of Stella Glitter Pen, and it shimmers so much!! So pretty!!
