More December Previews!

Hello, everyone! I hope your weekend is off to a great start! I gave myself a "day off" yesterday to spend time with my family. We watched Christmas movies and did a little house cleaning in preparation for Christmas decorating! So, I have two cards to show you today, both made with new C.C. Designs sets.

The first one is a pocket card I made with the set Winter Bear. This set almost didn't happen -- Christine was going to release the images as digi images, but as soon as the DT saw them we begged for rubber!! I'm a sucker for snowmen, so this set just might be one of my favorite CCD sets yet! :) I colored with Copics and paper pieced the hat and sweaters. There is Stardust Stickles on the snow and white Fun Flock on the hat pom pom.

This second card was created with the set Sugarplum Snowy Scenery. I stamped the house and watercolored it with an Aquapainter and inks. I stamped and watercolored the snowman and trees, then I cut them out and mounted them on dimensionals. I added Stardust Stickles to the snow and on the snowflake centers -- this card is really sparkly IRL!

Here's a detail closeup...

I finished the inside of the card with a sentiment from Christmas Verses by AmyR Stamps. The verses in this set are just beautiful!

Don't forget to visit the ATS Blog to see more samples of the new sets and to find out how you can win them! I'll have one more preview for you tomorrow along with the Sunday Supper recipe. All the new sets will be available Monday at 10:00 pm EST!

Thank you for visiting today -- I always appreciate it so much! Have a fantastic day!
