Yay! It's Clear Dollar Stamps Sneak Peek time! I look so forward to this every month, because I just love to hear the reactions that you all have to the new sets that will be releasing in just a few short days! I only have a couple of sets to show you today, but that doesn't mean that there isn't more to see ;D
The first set I'll show you is called Patchpal Reindeer and is a set of 6 for only $7.99. I love the Patchpal line that Clear Dollar Stamps carries. . .they are just so fun to color! I decided to go really colorful with this sample, and I do love how it turned out.

My next sample actually came about in a funny way. . .okay, it wasn't funny at the time. I was using my Cuttlebug, like I often do when for some reason I busted it! I'm not sure to this day, how it happened but it did. My husband was leaving by the end of the week, and this was just the straw that broke the camel's back. I just could not stop crying. I text my husband, knowing he was in a meeting. To my surprise he called me right away to see if I was okay. I know, silly that I would cry so hard over a silly machine, but you crafters feel my pain. I collected myself and the pieces of my Cuttlebug, and decided it wasn't the end of the world. My husband ended up coming home early with a little surprise for me. . .a new Cuttlebug! Not only that, but he brought home a new embossing folder too (yes, the one used down below). Boy, do I love my man. . .he takes very special care of me. He told me he couldn't leave without making sure I had what I needed to craft. Yes, I know. . .he's a keeper ;D The end result was this card. . .
It was made with the set called Railroad Memories, that is a set of 10 for only $9.99. I like this card for what it symbolizes to me. . .an awesome husband. I'll probably just have to send it to him while he's in Iraq ;) Plus, it kind of makes me feel like watching the Polar Express!

ReplyDeleteLove your cards with the new stamps...I am making a wishlist....again.
Take care, Anja
Girl, you have me sitting here crying, I know what you mean, I don't think it was silly and probably not why you broke down, but wow, how awesome is he!?!! My husband would have said quit be silly! Your cards are both perfect, I love the stripes with the tree and your coloring is great on both and I know the card will have a special meaning to him because of the story behind it!
ReplyDeleteThese men of ours sure do know how to surprise us sometimes, don't they!!!! Your cards are wonderful Cassie! Love the bright colors of the reindeer card!!!

Wonderful cards Cassie! Your tree is too cute and colored perfectly! I LOVE your train. How you did the night sky is AWESOME. The charm is a great touch. Just beautiful girlie!
ReplyDeleteGreat samples Cassie! I especially love the patchpal Christmas set! Even though I was (almost) there during the cuttlebug disaster, still tears come when reading about it. Jim is so awesome, it takes a good man to walk into the craft store and find out where they keep the cuttlebugs.. (hehehe)

ReplyDeleteBy the way, if it makes you feel any better I broke my cuttlebug at one point too!!!
Awe... very sweet. Need a tissue? I know I need one.

I broke my big shot right before Christmas last year and was in a panic to get it fixed or replaced. Luckily my husband helped me get the replacement part and got it fixed within the month.
LOVE your preview creations! It's neat how your train just pops colored like that.
:-)
Awwww.... I'm crying, too... just like Shawne!! What a sweet guy. You'll have to keep that card!!!

*Gulp*! I'm in bits here! I want your husband!! You are VERY lucky to have such a rare man for a husband. He's a star in more ways than one! That gorgeous card with the train on it is fabulous! The train is chugging straight off the card. Fabulous colouring too.
