Clear Dollar Sneak Peeks Day #3

It's day 3 of the Clear Dollar Stamps Sneak Peeks, and I have so much to show you.  I must say, the beginning of the month is my favorite time!  (Be forwarned, this is a long post).  Today I have 3 stamp sets to show you with an extra *bonus* stamp at the end!  From the moment these showed up on my door, I couldn't wait to ink them up.  Trust me when I say, I have been dying to show you!

The first stamp set I will show you is called Charlie Lean on Me.  This set is so much fun, and who doesn't love Charlie?!  My first card was a challenge to come up with a card that was not a traditional shape.  Originally it was supposed to look like a barrel, but I'm not so sure it ended up that way.  {lol}  I cannot draw freehand to save my life, so my barrel looks a bit like a can.  You get the idea, right?!  I think it turned out okay, and regardless, it was super fun to make!
Stamps:  Charlie Lean on Me
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black, Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip
Paper:  Neenah Solar White, Close to Cocoa, silver, Chocolate Chip
Accessories:  sponge, Pumpkin Pie felt flowers, black mini brads, Forest Branches embossing folder, SU dimensionals, oval cutter
Copics:  R20, E37, E57, E77, E29, RV02, C-3

My next sample was a challenge to not use any designer paper.  Yikes, right, but as soon as I saw these barrells, I knew what I wanted.  Charlie is such a fun character!  You can color this guy however you want and he still looks good ;D
Stamps:  Charlie Lean on Me
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black, Close to Cocoa

My next samples are for a set that is so extremely versatile called Sassy Scallops.  If you love your Nesties like I know you do, you'll have to have this set!  These little stamps add  just the right extra touch.  My first sample was super fun to make with a couple of new Nesties.  Yes, I know, I've gotten a lot of these lately.  I just can't help it!  Clear Dollar has such a great selection of them!  I decided to use the dots stamp, because it went so well with my DP, and the cake on the Biggest Wishes stamp set that released this last month.  
Stamps:  Sassy Scallops, Biggest Wishes
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black, Tempting Turquoise, Riding Hood Red
Paper:  Tempting Turquoise, Riding Hood Red, DCWV Pets Stack, Neenah Solar White, Whisper White

This next sample I thought would make a great gift for my father-in-law.  He loves to plant new things and track how they are doing from year to year, so I made a gardening journal.  I combined the leaf from Sassy Scallops with Charlie Gardens, which was a new release from this last month.  I made this with my Bind-it-all!  I love this thing.  It gives me soooo many gifting options, and yes you guessed it, you can get it at Clear Dollar Stamps!

For my last samples I get to show you Motorcycle Mania, this really amazing motorcycle set!  I was so thrilled to get this set, because a lot of important people in my life ride motorcycles so gift ideas flooded my mind.  

Before I met my husband, I had planned to buy my dad's Harley and change the paint color.  I envisioned that Sportster looking like this with an adorable pink color.  Luckily for my dad, I met my man and plans for that money changed.  Regardless, I can see my best friend, Christi, riding something like this ;D
Stamps:  Motorcycle Mania
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black, Basic Gray, Cameo Coral craft 
Paper:  Cameo Coral, Basic Black, Pink Flamingo DSP, watercolor paper
Accessories:  Top Note Die, Tiny Mosaics embossing folder, Aqua painter, white gel pen, pretties kit, word window punch, sponges, silver brads, silver cord, Basic Black & Cameo Coral markers

The next sample was an inspiration challenge.  It was an all black and white comforter, and this is what came to mind for me. 
Stamps:  Motorcycle Mania
Ink:  Craft White, Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper:  Whisper White, Basic Black, DCWV La Creme
Accessories:  Basic Black marker, White gel pen, large white brads, oval cutters

My last sample was combined with a new stamp called Happy Father's Day.  This was so fun for me, because I made it look just like my dad's current bike.  I think he'll love it and be very surprised.

  10. Hi Cassie! Great Motorcycle Mania samples you made! Love the girly pink one -- it's funny...Tom just sold his Harley Sportster! (And I'm so thrilled that he did -- we had a friend that had a devastating motorcycle accident last year)...anyway love your cards, each one is so unique and are great layouts, too!

    And, your Charlie Horse cards are adorable! I was blown away by your barrel shaped card! That is sooooo creative, girl! Love how you put the barrel "bands" around it and the whole card is just so creatively clever! Love your other Charlie Horse card and the cute embellies and great layout, too!
