CCD Make it Monday: Hearts Stencil

Hi everyone! Today is our first CC Designs Make It Monday for the year.

 I'd like to show you how I made a stencil using one of the new CC Designs Hearts and Arrow Die Cutters.

I cut piece of card stock to 4 x 4 inches in size and I drew a line for every half inch to make a grid. Then I used a red pen to mark the intersections where I want the hearts to be. Using the third hole on the back of the die, I lined it up with the red marks and run it through the die cutting machine.

Finally, I used Distress Ink pads and a mini dauber to make a background of hearts on my card. 

Thanks for joining me today and come back again next week for another Make It Monday by one of my teammates from CC Designs.

All That Scraps: MIM Double Winged Butterflies

Hi Friends! It's me Mae and it's my turn again for another MIM. I know it's not Monday but February Stamps will be previewed this week, so we had to schedule this week's MIM earlier.

Today I'm going to show you how I made double winged butterflies.




For this project, I used CC Designs Butterfly Wings Stamp and CC Designs Cutter Wings.



I stamped each butterfly in different colors and I also stamped a 2nd generation image to make it lighter.



1. Cut the butterflies using the Cutter Die.  2. On the darker  butterfly, apply adhesive to the center of the butterfly and on the lighter butterfly, cut out the middle part.  3.  Align the cut wings and adhere to the darker butterfly.



Next, use a small piece of twine and wrap it around a few times to hide the adhered part of the butterfly.



Finally, use some 3D adhesive foams and adhere the butterflies to your card.



I hope you like my simple project today. Thank you for taking to time to visit the ATS blog and we hope to see you again soon.

DT Make It Monday: Poinsettia Flowers

Happy Monday everyone! It's Mae here and it is my turn for our Make it Monday.

Today, I'll show you how I make poinsettia flowers using  CC Designs Holly & Berry and 

CC Designs Acorn Set cutters

1. Cut 10 of each leaf

2. Using a molding tool, score the back side of the die cuts to make veins.

3. You can also use the dull side of a craft knife to make the veins.

4. With a dimensional adhesive, arrange the base layer like so.

5. Add a drop of liquid glue before adding the second layer. 

Be sure to offset the second layer from the base. Let it dry.

6. Finally, place a half pearl or brad on the center of the poinsettia.

Here are some tags with the poinsettia flowers made using some CC Designs Cutter Dies.

I hope you enjoyed this week's MIM. 

Design Team - Make it Monday: Vellum Flowers

Hello everyone!
Mae here for Make it Monday

Today, I'm going to show you how I made vellum flowers using the
CC Design Christmas Light Bulb Border Die.
These are the things I used:
Glossy Accent (or any liquid glue of your choice)
Distress Ink Pads (color of your choice)
Petal Roller
3D Foam Adhesives
Dauber & Foam Mat

 ~*~*~*~*~*~*~

1. Cut the vellum paper thru a die cutting maching with the CCD cutter.

~*~*~*~*~*~

2. Stain each bulb with a dauber using the ink / color of your choice.

 ~*~*~*~*~*~

3. Let it dry.  It's take a while for vellum to absorb ink.

~*~*~*~*~*~

4. Using a molding/ shaping tool, shape the un-inked side of the bulb.  Be sure your ink is dry so it won't transfer to the foam or molding mat.

 ~*~*~*~*~*~

5.  This is how it will look like after shaping.

 ~*~*~*~*~*~

6. Cut each bulb and adhere them to dimensional foam adhesives like so.

 ~*~*~*~*~*~

 7.Apply a drop of Glossy Accents or any clear liquid glue of your choice before adhering the second layer of petal. Offset the second layer from the base layer.

~*~*~*~*~*~

8. Adhere a sticky half pearl in the middle. You can also drop a small amount of clear glue before placing the pearl.

 

And here's the card I made using the Vellum Flowers!
