CC Designs Birthday Blog Hop Winner & April Review -- Meoples!

Hello! Before I share my CC Designs April Review project, I want to announce the winner of the $7 gift certificate from my blog. The random winner is ...

Creations by Shirl!!!

Yay! Shirl, please email Christine at christine@ccdesignsrubberstamps.com with Blog Hop Winner in the subject line.

Here is a set of birthday tags I made with the Meoples HB2U. The small sentiment is from AmyR Great Birthday Greetings.

Here is a closer view of the girls. I thought it would be good to have some of these birthday tags handy when my kids' classmates have parties. I'm always looking for some kind of card or tag that would be appropriate. You would think I'd have lots of leftover cards but sometimes I have a hard time parting with them!

Here is a closer view of the other 2 tags. All papers are from Doodlebug.

Before I go, I wanted to let you all know that this will be my last CC Designs post as I've decided to step down from this design team. I've enjoyed my time on this team creating with some of the cutest stamps. But it's time for me to concentrate on other endeavors.

Thanks so much for reading!

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 throug...

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 ...

Knuffle Bunny

Hi! The Greeting Farm had their Customer Challenge & Chit Chat Night "A Night at the Bookstore" and introduced a few challenges. I have to say chatting was too fast for me and I couldn't really keep up. It was still early here, and I had to pick up the kids from school and activities and make dinner and eat and so I guess the timing didn't really work out with our schedule. You can check out the challenge details on the SCS forum HERE . I made this card for Favorite Child's Book category. It is based on the Mo Willems book Knuffle Bunny . It's one of my kids' favorites and it's such a cute story. We actually love reading Mo Willems' books especially his Elephant and Piggie series. Those books are hilarious! This challenge also made me realize that I haven't read many books recently except kids' books. I used to love reading but just haven't given it much time lately. Anyway, here is my card. If you've read the story...
