Today we are showcasing .......

Pocket Pieces HI Dies
Designed by our very own talented CDD DT member Leah.

I have created....

For today's new Pocket Pieces HI Dies I've made a Halloween themed pocket letter. These are made out of the trading card holders. They are like a collection of mini cards. Lots of people swap them and I have been seeing them everywhere, so I wanted to give one a try. I've made all the bases from a stitched square in this new die set that fits perfectly in each pocket. WooHoo!
As you can see I've used lots of CDD Goodies on them.

I've made the backgrounds from paper that I've water colored. I've also used some paper pad. I've used lots of the dies from this Pocket Pieces HI die set, like the white photo frame, the banner, star and the tag that the "Boo!" is on are all included in this new set of dies. The small ghost are from my stamps. I've also made a shaker pocket with the new I also made that candy paper from my stamps as I just love those sweet faces on them.

This ghost is from the new Boo stamps. Franken pumpkin is from the new Hallo-scream stamps.

This cutie is from my stamps. Everything was colored in with Copic markers.

Thankful Squeaks

4x6 stamps

I have created....

I've made a card today with the new Thankful Squeak stamps. How sweet is that mouse? I really think this set is just adorable and perfect for the upcoming Fall season.

The bottom layer was cut out with my dies in Doodlebug Friendly Forest paper. The next stitched layer and that stitched speech bubble is a preview of some new dies that we will be showcasing tomorrow. Can't wait to share them with you!! I did make the second layer with some Canson watercolor paper and Tim Holtz Distress Inks.

Here's a close up of that adorable mouse. All the coloring I did with my Copic markers. I will try to start keeping track of them so I can list which ones I've used. I did add extra leaves and acorns to the bottom. Those can all be found on my stamps.

I really think this is a super sweet stamp set with lots of great sentiments and images.
