Kerry 

"Well, Christmas is just one month away…  did you start your Christmas cards or shopping yet?  if not, how about a Christmas card to jump start your holiday spirit?  I used Candace from the Autumn Memory set, I colored her with the lovely holiday red, cut her out and adhered her with foam dots.  Then, finished with a sentiment and some blings."

Alice

Hello CCM friends and happy Tuesday, hope you are having a great crafting day!

We have a couple of super fun cards to share with you today!

Lynda

"I decided this week to showcase one of the wonderful freebie images you can find in the Chi Chi Memories store.  This sandcastle is just wonderful and I knew I wanted to create a sunset at the beach type card.  I used my gelatos and some wonderful canvas paper I had to create my scene. Once my background was dry I added the sandcastle that I colored with my Copics and the sentiment clear sticker."  

Alice

"I love celebrations so I thought I use this set from Chi Chi Memories called, “Birthday Girl”.  These balloons are super cute and of course I’ve turned it into a boy card so you can see the versatile nature of Chi Chi Memories  digital stamps.  Celebrate today and get yours stamps from Chi Chi Memories."

"Don't you just love this adorable little robot boy?  He's such a cutie pie!  I decided to color him with some blue and green combo.  Then, I used these chevron washi paper tape to create a fun background.   And I finished with some bling paper, button, and twine."

Alice

"I’ve been having fun playing with the Costume Set #2 lately.  It’s nice to have great product to work with and it makes my job a lot easier.  There’s lots of designs to choose from so get your sets today!"

Lynda

"For my project this week I decided to go with a simple card deciding to take take my color scheme from this amazing washi tape that I won.  I printed the butterfly from the Spring is Here set and colored it with my Copics to match the tape.  I then used this single rubon as my sentiment."

Hello CCM friends and happy Tuesday! 

Are you ready for halloween? The CCM kids sure are.  :) 

Jordy and Candace are all set for some trick or treating fun!

Lynda

"I knew I had to do something with these two cuties dressed as robots when I saw this new set of stamps.  I layered them close to each other and printed the images along with the sentiment together.  I then colored them with my Copics keeping with a simple grey and red color scheme.  I then mounted the image onto black, silver, and red cardstock.  I used the scraps to create the background pattern behind the image on my card base.  I do think they are the ultimate in cuteness overload!!!"

Alice

"This just goes to show you how versatile these adorable digis are.  I used the NEW Costume Set 2 on my card.  It’s a Halloween set, but I used it for something entirely different.  You can switch out the Lion digi for the Tiger or the Robots, your choice!"

Kerry

"Halloween trick or treat!  Isn't Candace super cute in her robot outfit?  And of course, I have to color her in pink! hehe!  She is from the new adorable Costume set 2."

Alice

"I am truly delighted that we get to share this month’s NEW digital release.  You are going to love this set, I know I do!  This charming little guy is from the NEW Costume Set 2.  I wanted to try something different this week by creating a little door in front of the robot so you can add a sentiment on the inside. The pictures show the robot with a flap when it’s closed and when it’s open, a sentiment appears.  You’ll love the rest of the set as well so get yours today!"

Kerry

Lynda

"I decided to use the cute cloud image from the Summer Fun stamp set as the focus for my card this week.  I printed it onto my cardstock and then used an exacto knife to cut along the edge of the cloud.  I then layered colored cardstock to look like a rainbow.  I used chalk to create the sky color and to add some depth to the cloud, including some cute cheeks!  I'm sure this greeting will bring a smile to someone's face when they find it in their mailbox!"

Alice

Kerry

"I absolutely adore the Tea Party set and I decided to make a tag inside of a card.  I colored Jordy with copic markers and cut him out and pop him with some 3D foam tape.  And for the tag, I went for the distress look, I inked it with distress ink pad, added some tissue tape, pattern paper, lace, wood piece, frantage and twine.  Viola!"

Katherine

"I love the images in this month's release Party Time, but this little group of animals is my favorite - hands down! The shading on the stamp makes it super easy to make these little guys pop off the page. I wanted to make something a little out of the box this week and thought it would be fun to add a few birthday candles. They sure make this gorgeous lime green ribbon really stand out!"

Lynda

"I knew right away when I saw this little sweetie in the Party Time set that I had to use her as the focus of a card.  I colored her using my Copic markers and then mounted her on this wonderful sheet music pattern paper.  I then created the sentiment banner with extra cardstock and added to the front of the card using foam tape.  I'm sure she'll make the perfect greeting for any reason!"

Aren't they super cute?  Thanks so much for stopping by and happy crafting!

Lynda

"I LOVE this grouping of animals announcing the party that they are having!  I colored them each with my Copic markers and then backed the image with coordinating pattern papers from My Minds Eye.  I used rubons for the letters on the banner.  I think this card will be great to use to invite some friends over for an end of summer backyard party!"

Katherine

"This week I used the cake image from the September stamp release Party Time. I needed a birthday card for one of my favorite little girls and this was the perfect image. I love how it looks colored with shades of purple, and I used a bit of Silver Smooch to add some glimmer. I wish the picture did it justice - it certainly does shine!"

Kerry

"I hope you are ready for a party!  I know for sure these party animals are!  Why not, join the fun!!!

For this card, I used the super fun surprise collection from Bo Bunny.  It's perfect for this birthday bash.  And I colored this adorable image with copic markers, I decorated the party hats with stickles, and a sentiment."

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"

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."

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."

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!
