Friday DT Showcase

Hello CCM friends and happy Friday to you!

Any plans for you this weekend?  

Hanging out with the family, running errands or laundry?

How about some crafting time?  Here are some super adorable projects to get you started!  

Karen

"What's better than a cute stamp from ChiChi Memories?  A cute stamp from ChiChi Memories with a cupcake!  This month, Candace is all dressed up for a tea party, complete with a tea cup facinator, and she is holding one of my favourite treats!  I just love her cute pigtails and detailed dress - this stamp is so much fun to colour!"

Marcee

"Fall is finally upon us here in the states, but that doesn't mean you can't use spring-y colors. This adorable image just said pretty colors to me, so I used lots of yellow with a bit of pink. I kept the bard base neutral and added a few pearls to keep it soft.  I have loved using the Party Time set SO much!"

Melissa

"I have a little bird house birthday tag to share today.  Watching the birds out the window this morning got me inspired and Chi Chi Memories had the perfect bird in the set Tea Party  to work with.  It will be a cute little addition to a birthday gift bag."

Kim

 "I am using Candace from the Friendship set. She is all decked out in Fall colors. I added grass using a technique called "Pointillism"in various shades of green Copic markers. I embossed the brown cardstock using a large dot embossing folder. I then punched a decorative border on the orange cardstock. After all the elements were assembled I used organdy ribbon for the bow and added a flower and pearl in the center."

Kerry

"For this week, I'm using this adorable Hello Girl.  It's a freebie!  Go grab yours today and join the CCM challenge this month for a chance to win more CCM goodies!  I colored Hello Girl with Copic markers and the pretty pattern paper is from Recollections 'the Neapolitan Collection."

Lynda

"For my card this week I wanted to showcase one of the cute individual stamps from the Spring is Here stamp set.  This cute apple tree would be wonderful on a back to school card, so that's what I decided to create.  My image is colored with copics and fussy cut.  I then used Glossy Accents on the apples to make them shiny.  I layered the cardstock and pattern papers onto the card base and then added my image.  I added the sentiment on a piece of scrap cardstock and mounted it using some cute red snaps."

Katherine

"This week I used an image from the Stamp Set Friendship, Chi Chi Memories August 2013 release, I Got Your Back. I used my basic Spectrum Noir pens in Browns, Purples, and Pale Hues for all my coloring. I layered papers from my Crate Paper Snow Day 6x6 pad for the background of my card and used a Framelit Label Die to cut out the bottom of my tag. I have the pretty, sparkly buttons in my stash and I paired them up with some silver cording I found in Target's dollar bin. I used some tutorials on the Spectrum Noir blog as a guide for my skin tones and hair this week."

Need some inspirations?!  How about some super cute cards from the CCM DT?

Kim

"I love the sentiments and images that goes along with the Friendship set. The image was colored in using Copics. I added stitching along the edges of the patterned paper and accented the card with a flower and green sprigs. I colored the sprigs with white paint then I added some green alcohol ink to the paint to get the desired shade of green I was wanting then painted the sprigs again.The image is popped up using 3-D foam tape."

Melissa

Check out this adorable tag using this cutie from the For You! 

Marcee

"Although I'm excited for Fall, I'm loving these Summer-y colors. However, I LOVE yellow any time of year. I colored my image with Prisma Pencils this week and used some of the new SU! In Colors for that Summer-y feel. I added a yellow bow made with 1/2" seam binding ribbon and popped up my sentiment to give the card more dimension."

Karen

"Today, I decided to play with "Wipe Your Tears".  I coloured these gals up with my Copics, and then teamed them up with some paper from DCWV's Fiesta Forever stack.  This set has some great sentiments, but I decided just to use "thanks for being there" to show how versatile this stamp could be. How cute would it be on a layour about a "booboo"?"

Tuesday DT Showcase

Hello CCM friends and happy Tuesday to you.

Time for another DT Showcase featuring the new Friendship collection.

Katherine

"I'm so happy to be getting ready to begin a new school year. I love the freshness of the fall season and this image reminds me of a little girl getting ready for her first day of school. I colored my image using alcohol markers in bright shades. My paper is from Jillibean Soup and Stampin Up! I am just in love with the Jillibean Soup's Apple Cheddar Soup patterns. I sprinkled a few little sparkles in the corner, don't you think these things are the cutest addition to a card?"

Alice

"This month’s release is super cute!  I loved coloring these adorable little girls and you will too.  Brighten up someone’s day with these charming digi girls!"

Lynda 

"For my card this week I decided to use this adorable image of these two girls that really showcases what a good friend does for another in need.  I colored the image using my Copic markers and then mounted the colored pieces onto coordinating cardstock.  It was then mounted onto the pattern paper I picked when I selected the image.  I can't wait to send this to a friend that has had a bad week...I'm sure she'll feel so much better when she gets this in the mail."

Kerry

"For this week, I used these adorable girls from Wipe your tears.  I colored the girls with Copic markers. The pattern paper is from Basic Grey true love collection.  I added some red twine and a 'love' die cut from Memory Box."

Friday DT Showcase.

Hello hello CCM friends and happy Friday to you!!!

Ready for the weekend?  Up for some crafting time?

Here are a few super cute projects...

Marcee

"I am in LOVE with the August release from Chi Chi Memories. Although I'm eager for Fall, I am just in love with Summer colors and this adorable new release goes perfectly with any season. I used a neutral card base with a simple design and soft colors to place the focus on the image. I printed the sentiment from the Friendship set onto cardstock."

Karen

"I have a fantastically fun stamp to share with you today!  Last week, Chi Chi Memories revealed their new stamp collection for August called "Friendship Set", and I showed you one of the cute stamps called "For You."  Today, I got to play with "I Got Your Back", and these two little gals are so cute!  I think this makes a great encouragement card, but would also be great as a thank-you card with a sentiment like "Thanks for being there!"  There really is a lot of you could do with it!"

Melissa

"What a perfect card to send to your girlfriends who need a reminder that you are there for them.  You can purchase this image in the Friendship set, or as an individual stamp.  I colored them with Copic Markers and used miscellaneous scrap patterned papers to create the card face. I kept the embellishments to a minimum so it will be easy to mail.  I have to say, I love this stamp set!" 

Kim

"I am loving the new Friendship set with all the adorable images and sentiments to match. I colored my girl using Copic markers. I then stitched around the patterned paper. The banners are all freehanded and last I made the rose and distressed it with green ink and applied stickles to the edges."

Kerry

"I have something sweet for you... how about this adorable little girl from the new Friendship set?   She is so so cute!!!  I kept the card simple.  I used some washi paper tape to create some fun square pieces.  I colored her with Copic markers and added a flower and some butterflies brads."

Tuesday DT Showcase.

Lawren

Check out this adorable card using Don't Worry, I got your Back!

Katherine

"This week I used an adorable image from the newly released stamp set I've Got Your Back. I loved the image and wanted to try something a little out of the box for me by coloring the hair in some bright color choices. I used some of my favorite color combinations of Spectrum Noir Markers on these little darlings. They are printed on Bazzill card stock and then layered with SU Regal Rose and Mambo Melon. I also used a bit of paper from Recollections and My Mind's Eye. The flowers I came across again recently, and they are from my stash. Thanks for looking!"

Alice

"Adorable new Friendship set from Chi Chi Memories will sure win you over.  Great for any, “Pick me up day card”.  Loving the shading on these stamps which makes it easier to color. Join us today and get your NEW set!"

Lynda

"I knew right away when I saw all these cute images that I had to make something with the cutie with the flower.  I am always sending thank you cards to people and the matching sentiments are perfect in the set.  I colored her with my Copics and then fussy cut the image out.  I then added some matching cardstock and pattern paper to the card front.  She is mounted onto the card using foam tape.  I can't wait to send her to a friend!"

Friday DT Showcase.

Hello CCM friends and happy Friday to you!

We hope you like the new release and enjoyed all the beautiful projects from the guest DTs.

Well, we have more to share today...

Kerry

"Here is a CAS card using the new August release, this is Don't Worry, I got your back!  The girls are too cute.  I colored the image with Copics, a pretty pattern paper, a piece of washi tape, and a huge flower, VIOLA!"

Karen

"This week, I decided to start off the new releases by using the adorable "For You" stamp.  I love this little cuties becuase she can be used for so many different reasons - everything from thank-you card to birthday cards to thinking of you cards.  You get so much value out of stamps like this!  I coloured her up with Copics, and the decided to team her up with some paper from Doodlebug.  I love how bright and cheerful this card is!?"

Melissa

"Another fabulous NEW release from Chi Chi Memories. This set is so unique, I don't think I have ever seen images similar to these.   I decided to use this image first and even though she is crying I keep the colors happy and bright.  This is a perfect image to use for your girlfriend who needs a pick-me-up.  Who doesn't appreciate getting a card that makes them smile.  Image colored with Copic Markers."

Kim

"I love this new Friendship set. There are so many possibilities. On my card I colored in the image using Copics then added an organza ribbon tied into a bow and topped with a button. The brads are addd last to pull everything together."

Marcee

"I have been is such a Fall mood lately and really enjoyed creating a Fall inspired card with this adoarable image called Autumn Memory Boy. I did a lot of layering with cardstock and added quite a few more embellishments than I normally do. But I really loved the way it turned out. The image is colored with Prisma Colored Pencils, die cut and mounted with Spellbinders and adhered to a finished 6x6 card base."

Hope you like them and have a fabulous weekend!
