Welcome to the North Coast Creations October New Releases!  I am SO excited to be bringing you two cards featuring this month's new release!  AND NCC will be choosing 2 winners who will receive a $10 gift certificate to the store for stamps just for commenting on our Design Team cards!  You can leave some love AND possibly win a gift certificate!  How fun is that?   

 

You have until October 17, 2013 at 10:00PM EDT to make a comment on each of our designers blog posts.  Our 2 random winners will be announced on the North Coast Creations Blog on October 18, 2013.

 

Both cards today have a Christmas theme.  One is just a bit non-traditional...  are you intriqued yet?  So here we go...

 

My first card using NCC's Let it Snow

 

I colored the image with Copics and used a scallop punch out to sponge my sky.  A few dabs of glitter glue on the snowflakes adds some bling.  A bit of lace and pearl trim to the side give this a feminine feel even though Mr. Snowman is decidedly manly in his top hat!  I stamped the sentiment with a bright blue ink and used a snowflake die cut to highlight it.  A bit of red ribbon and a black button add just a bit of color to the scene.  Here's the stamp set itself.  Isn't it just darling?

 

 

My second card is just a bit more bohemian.  I must say I think I might like celebrating Christmas on a beach somewhere...

 

I colored this scene with Copics also and added a soft sky blue at the top with ink and a sponge.  I used a postage stamp die cut and hand cut some stripes to add a faux postmark....

 

Here's the stamp set itself...

 

Don't forget to check out all the October Releases HERE.  And make sure to comment on all of the designer's blogs.  I know you NEED some more stamps right?  lol....
