Clearly Digital Stamps December Digi Release!

Welcome to the December digital release for

Clear Dollar Stamps!

This month, I am working with more fun and NEW images from Clearly Digital Stamps (by Clear Dollar Stamps). So let's hop in and take a look at these delightful images.

First of all there is a uber cute set called Animal Mania, chock full of barnyard friends and others...

 

The set even includes this cute snail. I flipped the image and then printed it on kraft and DP paper piecing my images together. I thought they were just the cutest little "love bugs." I intertwined their antennae and added a few paper punched hearts. AWWWWW....

And then there is the color Patchpal Angel set which includes some cute background papers...

 

I fussy cut this little girl adding a layer of gold tulle under the Spellbinder die. And if you look closely, you will find some Stickles on her wings and robe trim. Just darling!
 

Thanks so much for stopping by! Don't forget to visit the other DT members to see all of the exciting releases this month! Hugs and blessings...

Clearly Digital Stamps ~ CiC65 Sketch ~

Welcome to another CIC65 Sketch!  

To see this week's Exploring Cricut project please click HERE.
 

Here is the CiC sketch we would like to see you utilize. Flip it or keep it just as is. Add an image or no image at all. We just want to see you be creative while still maintaining the integrity of the sketch. 

I modified the sketch (flipped it) and gave it a Christmas feel using Clearly Digital Stamps' November release, Christmas Card Sentiments. Here's my interpretation...

For complete challenge details please visit CDS's BLOG.

Thanks for visiting! And until next time... blessings...

Clearly Digital Stamps ~ Little Bethlehem ~

Taking a few moments today to work with some fabulous digis by Clearly Digital Stamps (Clear Dollar Stamps.)  With Christmas on the horizon, you just can't have TOO MANY cards, right?  And this color image fits the bill nicely. 

My card using CDS's Little Bethlehem digi...

A corner punch, hemp twine and brads let a masculine feel to this card. If you look closely you will see I added just a bit of Ranger Distress ink (black soot) to the edges. As always thanks for stopping in and until next time... blessings...

Clearly Digital Stamps ~ Christmas Blessings

Thanksgiving is officially a memory!  We had a wonderful time this year enjoying one anothers company and reflecting on all of the blessings God has given us.  It amazes me to think just how fortunate I am!  And it humbles me to know just how little I deserve!  It is only through His grace that we have hope. 

So it is my sincere wish this holiday season to not get so caught up in the hustle and bustle.  My desire is to not only hear that small, still voice but to act upon it...  to remember my Savior is near.  For without that voice, I would be truly without hope.  Until next time...

Blessings....
 

Today's card features a plethora of lovely distressed and inked layers. If you look closely you will even see some paper piercing! (something I rarely do...) The poinsettia is a lovely die cut image by Spellbinders with a bit of watered down paint splattered on with my old tooth brush... kinda looks like those jingle bell poinsettias I so dearly love! :-)
