Clear Dollar Stamps December Blog Hop!

Hello and welcome to

 December's Blog Hop for 

Clear Dollar Stamps! 

I'm glad you decided to join us!

Did you arrive here from 

Jerusha's beautiful blog?

If you did you are on the right track.

If not click HERE to see

 the hop from the beginning!

Our theme this month

 is "White as Snow".

I decided to make a white card for this theme.

I used a clear stamp set called Light of Winter.
 This set was also released in
 digital format this month! Whoo hoo!

Nice to have choices!

To keep my white card interesting -
 I used three different Cuttlebug embossing folders. 
Two of them are snowflake ones and the 
other is houndstooth.
I kept my coloring to a minimum
 just to highlight the images.
I also used the Tabs and Tags die cut set from CDS.


Your next stop on this 
white as snow blog hop is:
KATHY
I'm sure she has something 
wonderful to share with you!


Leave a comment for a chance
 to win a $25 gift certificate to
 CDS for digital images!!
 One lucky commenter will win!
Thanks for spending part of your day with us!
Enjoy the rest of the hop!
See you soon!

Clear Dollar Stamps Digital Release!

Hello and welcome to 

Clear Dollar Stamps 

December Digital release! 

 I have a couple of new digis 

to share with you today!

My fist card uses the digital set Snowman Wishes.

I used the 'child' snowman for my card

He's just perfect for that winter card!

I added a little brown Fun Flock to his hat.

Card #2 features the digi

Winter Eskimo 

I based my card on a sketch 

I found on the internet.

For something different, 

I printed the digis

onto colored paper, 

then added color

with colored pencils.

For her muff and cuffs

 I added liquid applique.

This cute digi set is also available

 in clear stamps if you prefer!

This is a Memory Box stamp.

Christmas Distress inks,
 Iced Spruce and Evergreen bough.
The snowflake is a Nestabilities die cut. 
I added a bit of color with colored pencil
Paper is from My Minds Eye.
