DT Showcase Friday 8.22.14

It's time to share some great projects with you just in time for the weekend!!!  You can find these images and others in the Chi Chi Memories store here.

Rachel has created this adorable project using the bear from the Beach Time set:

I had a play about this week using the bear 'beach time 5' - I made a hybrid project, digitally placing the digital image onto a background which is a photograph I took on holiday in Wales last week , I then used die cut photo corners, some of my anitas crab shack papers, a digital chequered paper and cardstock to finish making the card!

***************************************

Patricia created this using Let's Travel:

Save Trip card! I will use this card to send to my BFF who's traveling around the world soon!!! all papers are leftover from my stash, used my copics to colored her, I add some white and orange layers to give her some depth, add the colorful stripes to the side and use a paper clips to make the swirl and add the white satin ribbon for the bow

Happy crafting....Lynda

Tuesday DT showcase

Hello CCM friends, hope you are having a fantastic week!  

We are back to show a few cards created by our awesome DTs.

Katherine

"This week I used the freebie Hello Girl image to create a back to school card. I colored her with my alcohol markers using Karen's coloring tutorial from last Wednesday. There's still time to play along with the CCM August Challenge - so grab your free image and join in!"

Lynda

"I decided to make the cute girl from the Summer Fun set really swing.  I colored my image using Prismacolor pencils and then fussy cut the image out.  I then added her to the front of the card that has this great square cut from the front so she swings in the card.  I added the piece of pattern paper behind her so she really pops.  Love seeing her really swing!!!"

Kerry

"Well, I love love love summer and I'm not ready for September yet!  Hehe!  Here is another card using the Beach TIme set.  I'm off to get some last minute sun!  I colored the Beach Time image with Copic markers and I added on a super fun designed frame from Crate Paper.  I figured the card with a fun sentiment (also from the Beach Time set), and finished it up with a bow and a few blings"

Alice

"It’s never too early to start the spooky fun so here’s an older Chi Chi Memories stamp called,  Happy Halloween.  Get your spooky cards started today and check out the fun stamps form Chi Chi Memories today."

DT Showcase.

Hello CCM friends and happy Friday to you!

We have some super fun cards for you today! 

Karen

"My oldest daughter loves getting mail!  Some days we can fool her into believing that the flyers were sent just for her, but it's even more fun to see her face when there is a card addressed just for her.  So today, I decided to team up the adorable mailman Freddie from the Sympathy Collection with some fun DCWV paper, and create a little card just to tell her how much I love her!  I love the bright primary colours together with this darling image! "

Kerry

"Are you enjoying the summer so far?  So many fun things to do...  Suntan, relax, play, sleep, swim, eat, and fun!  Which one will you pick?  Well, we all know what Candace from the Splash of Fun is enjoying, hehe!"

Melissa

"Lonely on the ranch?  I think this image is adorable and even if she is missing you in this card I guarantee next time you see her on my blog she will be happy.  I decided to go with what I consider non traditional cowgirl colors and then added in some rhinestones and little buttons.   She is available as an individual stamp, Autumn Memory Girl, or in a stamp set, Autumn Memory"

Kim

"I am using this adorable bear from the Beach Time set. There are so many fun things to do with this set. Perfect for those who also scrapbook.  I colored the bear and created some highlights by using a Copic blender marker, it's then fussy cut and adhered to the white cardstock using 3-D foam tape. The waves are added using a border punch and some dew drops to tie everything together."

Marcee

"This week I chose to use Sunny Girl for my card. She is SO adorable and also comes in the set Sunny Day. I colored her with ProMarkers. I kept my card base neutral and then used some fun soft colored papers to go with her clothing and umbrella. I added a simple "celebrate" sticker which makes this card perfect for multiple occasions."

Well, what do you think?  Hope you like them!

DT Showcase

Hello and happy Tuesday!  Hope you are having a great week!

We have some super cute CCM creations for you today!

Alice

"You’ll love the digital sets from Chi Chi Memories especially when you can change the size of your images.  It’s super easy and helps when you are creating size and design.  Get your images today before the next stamp set is release in August.  Beach Time is the stamp for your July creations!"

Lynda

"I knew when I printed this cute bear that I wanted to make sure that he really stood out on my card.  I printed the image twice onto cardstock.  I colored both images using my Copic markers.  I then created the background using chalks; keeping the colors soft and subtle.  I then cut out the top arm and ear from the second image mounting them onto the base image using liquid dimensional glue.  I then layered coordinating cardstock behind my image.  I just adore this bear and think he makes a perfect image for just about every kind of card!"

Katherine

"For my card this week I used Jordy dressed as a clown from the Happy Carnival Stamp Set. I colored my main image with Spectrum Noir markers, and the tickets are stamped with Tangerine Tango ink. I used paper from Best Creation Inc. called Let's Party. and paper pieced the balloons in Jordy's hand from the back side of the paper. This would make a great birthday card, thank you card, or a get well soon card for a child, so I left the inside greeting free."

Steph

Check out this adorable card by our guest DT Steph, super cute!

Friday DT Showcase

Hello everyone and happy Friday!  We hope you are ready for the weekend and before that...

How about some super cute cards?

Marcee

"I just adore this bear with his beach ball, so I had to print him out an color him. I used my Prisma pencils-again:) I used a lot of paper on my card this week which is normally something I struggle with, but I think it turned out pretty cute. I die cut my image with a Spellbinders circle die and then layered it on top of other circle types also cute with Spellbinder dies. I must say, this is one of my all time favorite Chi Chi Memories images♥"

Kerry

"Howdy, I'm totally enjoying the summer, it's hot, hot, HOT!  Check out this adorable Beach Time Girl   from the Beach Time set.  Here is a simple step card, I colored Beach Time girl with Copic markers and I added the waves, twine, ocean theme washi tape, and a couple of brads."

Melissa

"Most everyone likes a cupcake and with this one there is nothing not to like, no calories and extremely sweet!  It is from the Birthday Girl stamp set from Chi Chi Memories!!  Naturally it had to have some strawberry icing and a glitter candle, perfect for that special birthday girl."

What do you think?  Hope you like them and happy weekend!

Tuesday DT Showcase.

Hello CCM friends and happy Tuesday!   

We hope you enjoyed all the beautiful creations from our guest DT yesterday.  

And here are some more fun creations from our regular designers!

Lawren

"Birthday Boy from the Chi Chi Memories Birthday Boy Bundle is perfect for those little boys in your life.  It’s so hard for me  to know what little boys are into year to year so this image is just perfect for a generic boy birthday. The entire set is just adorable."

Katherine

"For my card this week I used the flower cart from Specially For You. I colored the image using Spectrum Noir markers from the Brights Set. I used the following color combinations: CR9, DR2, DR4 for the wagon, GT2, LG5, JG2 for the leaves and stems, and GB6, GB7, and a Blender Pen for the Sunflowers. The papers used on this card are Bazzill Kraft, Jillibean Soup's Christmas Eve Chowder, and Crate Paper Snow Day Collection. The button and flower are from my stash. Have a great week!"

Lynda

"I decided for my project this week that I wanted Jordy to be showing off some bright summer colors.  I decided to use the colors from the Noteable collection by My Minds Eye as my inspiration..this wonderful rich blue on the pattern paper was the perfect color to coordinate with the fabulous sunshine pattern on his surfboard.  I think he looks like he's ready to hit some waves after stopping by to wish you "hello"...don't you?"

Alice

"Here’s another card made with the Beach Time digital set.  After all , it’s July and that means the beach! I popped my image out from under the polaroid die cut to give the appearance that the image is coming to life.  You’ll enjoy these charming images so get yours today!"

Hope you like them and please stop by tomorrow...

It's TUTORIAL DAY with Karen!!!  

Friday DT Showcase.

Hello CCM friends and TGIF!  

We are sharing a bunch of fun creations today using the single digital stamps

 Beach Time Boy and Beach Time Girl!  

Melissa

"Woohoo! Another beach excursion with Chi Chi Memories and their latest stamp release Beach Time.  I love his bathing outfit and I new it had to be red and white, so I based my other colors off of that.  I used some older Cosmo Cricket goodies and decided that little thermometer from my stash would be great with it."  

Marcee

"This week I kept things really clean and simple-totally my style. I printed the image and sentiment directly onto CC Designs Copic Quality 80lb White Cardstock. I colored the image with Prisma pencils and popped up the sentiment on some dimensionals."

Kerry

"I hope you are enjoying the sun as much as Jordy, aka Beach Time Boy ...  I decided to pair him with the umbrella from the Beach Time set.   So so fun.  I kept the layout simple and use some bright summer colors.  I colored the image with Copic markers and I printed out Jordy twice (Jordy & his surf board and the surf board), then popped up with foam dots to create some dimensions." 

Karen

"One of the things I love about digi stamps is that you can print them at any size.  For me, this is a bonus because I can use them on all sorts of projects - even scrapbook layouts!  For this 12X12 layout, I ended up printing and colouring the digis to match a beach themed layout I was working on.  I even ended up using the sentiment file as a title for the layout!  I just love how the stamps help tell the story of this memory!"

Hello CCM friends and happy Tuesday to you! 

We hope that you enjoyed our guest DT projects yesterday and we have some more goodies for you.

Katherine

"Are you ready for some summer days at the beach? I have been having a "wicked blast" with these images from the Beach Time stamp set. This week I used the surfer boy from the set colored in fun shades of blue and green, with a bit of summer orange for my color scheme. I colored the image using Spectrum Noir Markers, and couldn't resist creating a little beach sign on the side with a free download I found at Simple Stories. It reminds me of the beach side signs on Cape Cod! The little brad in the corner is also from Simple Stories, and the papers are from Jillibean Soup and Stampin' Up!"

Lynda

"For my project this week I decided to create a canvas.  This canvas is 5x7.  I first merged images from the Beach Time set and the sun from Spring Is Here.  I then printed the images onto heavy cardstock.  I then mod podged the image onto the canvas and let it dry.  I then used Gelatos and Faber Castell watercolor pencils to color in my scene.  I then put a think layer of Mod Podge over the top to seal the image.  I then used a black Permaball marker to go over the lines of the stamped images to make them stand out...adding some little doodles and dashes here and there...  I can't wait to give this canvas as a gift!!"

Alice

"I’m just loving this NEW release from Chi Chi Memories Beach Time this month.  These adorable little images are just so darn cute to work with and perfect for this time of year.  The images are super easy to color or paper piece too!"

Lawren

I used elements from the Spring is here set to create my 1^st stair step card.  I love trying new things and I knew these cute little elements would help me build a scene for the card design.

Thanks for stopping by and happy stamping!

DT Showcase.

Hello hello CCM friends, it's Friday!  Yay!!!  Time for another DT showcase!  

We are totally in love with the new Beach Time stamp set, you can get it HERE!

(Or if you like... single digital stamp is available for Beach Time Teddy, Beach Time Girl, 

and Beach Time Boy)

Karen

"I was so excited when I saw the new release collection this month!  One of our favourite summer activities in my family is to head to the beach in the afternoon after a nap, so this great set reminds me of all those fun memories!  To get a bit of extra use out of the set, I decided to team up both the boy and girl image together with some Echo Park Splash paper on a double-aside step card.  These cards are fun to work with because you have lots of places to features stamps and/or sentiments.  Hopefully you will get a chance to get out and enjoy some sunny weather too!"

Melissa

"I LOVE the new July release, Beach Time!

I am a true beach girl myself and I am head over heals with this set.  Since I wanted layers and to use multiple stamps I decided the best way to get dimension is to use a stair step card.  The hardest thing about creating this card was deciding on hair colors for the little girls!"

Kim

"I am using the Beach Girl image from CCM's new release called Beach Time. I used my Cuttlebug to emboss the blue cardstock for texture. I freehand the banner and added some fiber to the corners of the main image panel. I used Copic markers to color the image in and added strokes of blue to create movement for the water."

Marcee

"I've been trying to use other card base colors instead of Kraft-so here is a go with white. For my patterned papers I used American Crafts Dear Lizzy Lucky Charm and My Minds Eye The Sweetest Thing Tangerine. My card base is Bazzill Marshmallow and my image is colored with Prisma Pencils. I had to add some bling, so a few rhinestones were added at the end to complete my card."

Kerry 

"Are you ready for the beach?  Me, me, me!!!  And Beach Time Teddy is having an awesome time building his sand castle, and playing on the beach with his super cool beach ball.  I adhered the sand castle with foam dots and I printed out the ocean and the Beach Time Teddy a few more times and again adhered each layers with foam dots to create some dimensions."

Well, what do you think?  I hope you like them and have a great weekend!

See you at the beach!  ;)

Alice

"There’s nothing more fun in the summer, but to lay out in the sun and just relax.  Chi Chi Memories NEW Beach Time stamp set is just that, pure bliss!  I loved that the set had some highlights already drawn in so you knew where to make your highlights…genius!"

Lawren

"Teddy is ready for some fun and so am I.  Beach Teddy is from the new July release and is just adorable for those fun summer cards."

Lynda

"I knew right away when I saw the adorable images in the new Beach Time set that I wanted to create a super fun scene.  I merged the image of the girl and the sandcastle together.  I then colored my images with Copics and chalk.  To add some interest to my card I added real sand to the base of the card where the sandy beach is.  I then mounted the colored image onto coordinating cardstock and then the card base.  The sentiment rubon was added last.  I just think this makes a sweet warm summer greeting."

Katherine

"I love all the images from the new stamp set Beach Time, but really, who wouldn't want to  celebrate the Fourth of July with a trip to the beach? These cuties might be watching the tide roll in, or waiting for the fireworks to start. I colored them in using my Spectrum Noir Markers. I love how easy it is to blend and shade my images with these. My card is made with a base of white card stock and layered some papers from My Mind's Eye and Creative Imaginations. The banners were cut from a free download that was shared with my scrap booking group. They fit the theme of my card perfectly and the colors worked together so well. Happy 4th of July!
Have a wonderful week!"

Aren't they awesome?  Super cute, huh?!
