Digi Day at CDS!


It's that time of the month again -- time for new digis at Clear Dollar Stamps! This month we have another wonderfully humongous release to share with you, and as always, I've made a couple of samples to share with you.

My first card uses the new "12 Days of Christmas Color" by Laurie Wilson. Isn't this a sweet scene? It incorporates all the fun elements from one of my favorite holiday tunes, and the fact that it's pre-colored makes it so easy to put together cute Christmas cards! I simply printed the image, cut it out with a Nestabilities die, and layered it on some of the pretty papers that also come in the set. I punched holes at the top and bottom of the die-cut scene, and laced some ribbon through for a little festive accent, and topped it off with some pretty half-pearl brads that I found at Michael's last winter. Easy-peasy!



For my second card, I used an image from my own newest set, "Let Your Light Shine." This set is a little different from my usual creations, but I wanted to make something that could be used for everyday encouragement cards for both men and women. I truly believe that part of our purpose in life is to encourage and support one another, and I'm hoping you'll find this set as useful as I hoped it could be in encouraging your loved ones! :-) To make this card, I used the hurricane lamp image, along with the Scripture verse that is included in the set. I colored the image with Copic markers, and layered the card with papers from the Citrus Stack by DCWV. Whenever I need "cheery" these are my go-to papers, because the colors are just so warm.

Please be sure to stop by the Clear Dollar Stamps blog today to see all the other wonderful new digis, as well as the many fun projects the design team has made to share with you! :-)
