CC Designs July Review

Hi!  A quick post -- time for CC Designs July Review.  I have another summer card to share.

Here is Watermelon Abigail and the sentiment is from AmyR Sweet Summer Sentiments.  I really like these pun-y watermelon sentiments.  They are so fun!

Close up photo.  I added some white to the watermelon seeds and then covered them with glossy accents to make them shiny.  I prefer to eat watermelons with seeds.  I think they are a lot sweeter than seedless watermelons.  But they are kind of messy especially for the kiddies.

These summer days are going by quick!  I started organizing school supplies for my younger two.  I have a small stock pile of back to school stuff in a cabinet.  Yeah, I guess I hoard school supplies too as well as crafty stuff.  We have a huge box of just pencils!  Most were given as small treats to our kids from teachers or classmates.  I haven't had to buy any pencils in years.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

So cute! Love the bright colors. Cute watermelon! That's probably true, we haven't tried a seeded watermelon yet this summer. Cuz I don't really like the seeds! Ha, goes along with the chicken fat thing... I don't even like swallowing the white ones in the seedless either if I can help it. I guess I should keep an eye out for back to school sales. I already ordered some plain hoodie jackets and rolling backpacks! I think the backpacks are a little big though...

Snowman gift card holder

Hi!  I was planning to post this last night but I was just too tired to write or think of complete sentences.  It's been a busy week with the boys on Fall break and still trying to finish up a bunch of crafts.  I have been trying to make some crocheted crafts to put in my Etsy shop and finally I'm done with one.  It's a crocheted snowman that can hold a gift card or anything actually that is small enough to fit in the pouch.  The pattern is designed by ChiWei Ranck of One Dog Woof and can be found HERE . Here's the little snowman with his arms folded over in the front to look like he is hugging the card.  I added this fun card that I stamped.  You can definitely add in a gift card too behind this card. The gift card reaches under his nose. This is how the little opening of the pouch looks.  I hope I can make more of these little guys.  These would be so cute for teachers and I think it would be easy to put a little wire through the hat and then use it as

coffee cup shaped cards

Hi!  I think after this post I may need a little nap!  My right shoulder is actually feeling worn out from all the typing and photo editing I've been doing lately.  And this cooler weather is making me drowsy.  It's getting cold here already! I made a bunch of these coffee shaped cards using a die from Honey Bee Stamps .  It's a cute coffee set but the die is extra long so it would probably help to have a longer platform to diecut.  I just have the standard sized one so I would pass it through once in my Big Shot and then rotate the cardstock and die carefully to cut the other end.  Manageable but the longer platform would be more convenient! I embossed the front of the card with some pretty snowflakes.  I think this is a Sizzix embossing folder.  And then stamped the coffee sleeve with some Lawn Fawn stamps. This is the inside.  The gift card slot does not come with this coffee cup die set.  I cut that opening with one of the dies from MFT's gift card dies.

all occasion tags

Hello!  I have more tags to share today.  I kept these simple too to be used on most any occasion.  They have no sentiments on them. I used MFT's cute Birdie Brown Bitty Bears stamp set.  These were on my wish list for a while and I kept going back and forth about purchasing them especially because I wanted the dies to cut them out too and those were very expensive!  Geez, remember the old days when we used to fussy cut everything out by hand? This is the next 6 tags.  There's also a cute bear with a Santa hat that I didn't include in the photos.  This was a pretty quick project since I kept the bears white!  Not much coloring on these tags but they are still cute and colorful. I thought I was going to be doing more stamping but I've actually gone on to crochet more!  I've made 3 more crochet projects that I'll share soon.  Sometimes I do get the urge to color something but these days it's so much easier to pick up some yarn and my hook and crochet
