C.C. Designs

Spreading the love, but you have to work for it!

Have I been MIA or what? It is super busy around here with the holidays and Decembers Little Bit Kits. After the new year alot of things are changing. I have now convinced my wonderful hubby to help with shipping and he agreed!!!!!! His name is Eric, so if you get an email signed Eric it is him. Anyways with him doing the shipping I will be able to get back to blogging, creating, and other fun stuff.

Now onto spreading the love, I received such wonderful feedback from my "you like me post" and other emails that I feel it is time for some blog candy. Now the working for it part. I am always looking to add new items to the store, comment to this post what new item would you like me to start stocking.

This will be open until Sunday at 11:59 est and then I will randomly pick the winner, with random.org.

And what will the winner win? How about a $20.00 gift certificate to the store?

Now for a good chuckle-

This card was made by Sophia L. You can visit her blog here.

Cha Cha Deer is a burlesque dancer mwahhhahhhh! Is Sophia creative or what?

I have got to sit down and make a card like this for my hubby.

You really like me!

I started All That Scraps to be able to stay home with my twins when they had days off from school. I never thought it would turn into the business it has. I have been doing everything by myself from shipping, to ordering, drawing the stamps for C.C. Designs, etc. With the successful release of my newest Little Bit Kits it became apparent that I would need help.

I am so happy to announce that I have hired someone. He will pull orders, press rubber, and general warehouse duty. This will free me up to be able to do other things, like start my new line of stamps. All emails will still go through me and shipping will still be handled by me.

We are really zooming through the orders, I am very sorry about the delay. It really bothers me to be this far behind. But I should be caught up by Friday.

I received the wood blocks and containers this morning and will start assembling them this afternoon. If you ordered a wood mounted set they will start shipping tomorrow. 

Bunch of new stuff

Quite a bit of new stuff is showing up today. I already listed all the new Lizzie Anne Designs Stamps. Here are pics of 2 of the new stamps.

 

Memory Box Notecards and Envelopes plus Penguin Stamps.  I am still adding them to the site. I got every color of the Notecard/Envelope Combos.

May Arts should be in today. I ordered ALOT!

Christmas K & Co. and some new embellishments/gems etc.

You can also click here which will take you to the New Products list.

Once the UPS man comes I will update if I left anything out.

Daisy Bucket, Crate Paper, and My Minds Eye are all on their way to me. They should be here anyday.

Address Book

This is my first attempt at using the Bind-It-All. I found it a little hard to use (could be because I didn't read the directions lol). Getting the holes lined up was quite a challenge, and I think the owire I used is to big.

My daughter Savannah came home yesterday with a pocket full of phone numbers. Well being a good mommy I decided to make her, her own address/phone book. She loves the color purple so I covered the chipboard covers with Bazzill Cardstock. Then I realized the owire I had was red, well change of plans I would need the book to be purple and red. I found the pattern paper in a collection of old pattern paper, no idea who makes it. And wouldn't it be cute if the Daphne stamp was holding the envelope cause it is an address book and that was an envelope?

I am going to do one for Kimberly tonight, it will be pink, she is my fruffy cutsie girl and loves pink. This time I am going to read the directions and see how it goes. I will post it when I finish it.

Ok now onto the pic of the address book.

I used the Giga Scalloped and Mega Scalloped Punches.

The ribbon was all stuff I have had for ever.

All cardstock is Bazzill.

Coloring-Prismacolor Markers

So excited I am ready to burst. . .

First off I am so excited to announce that Amy is now our Creative Director & Design Team Co-ordinator. So you might be saying well why would you need a co-ordinator for such a small design team? Well I can't say yet! Eeeee Eeeee this is so exciting! All That Scraps is going to be better than ever.

There are actually 4 new things coming. One won't debut until the first of the year. One will be announced this weekend. One will debut September 3rd, and one will be rewarded to someone the first of October. Anyone want to make a guess? None of the 4 things has anything to do with each other, and none of them are about my stamps. Are you getting excited yet?

I am sad to say that Keri will no longer be with the team. She is moving on to bigger, better things. I think she is one that we need to watch for in the future.

And to add to the good news my Halloween plate is in! Look for them soon. I think it is some of my cutest images so far. I am also working on a whole new line that is my favorite to date. I am putting the final touches on my Thanksgiving and Christmas images.

It's so hooooooooooot! Another card

This is the time of year I really dislike living in the south. This last week has been in the high 90's with 50 percent humidity, when you factor the two together is has been 105-108 degrees. When it is this hot I don't feel like doing anything, even though we have A/C. The weather guy says it is suppose to break next Thursday.

Here is the other card for my other girl. When the pic was taken the white bow had fallen off. So excuse that please.

Cardstock: Bazzill

Stamp: C.C. Designs

Coloring: Copic Markers

Designed For Her Creative Hot-Knife

 

Have you seen this Hot-Knife yet? Do you know what it does?

This is an item you have to have if you use EZ-Mount foam on your stamps. It will save you hours of frustration and cleaning your scissors.

The Hot-Knife cuts through EZ-Mount foam with ease. You won't believe how easy it is to use. I wasn't too sure how it would handle when I first saw it. I thought it woud be bulky and hard to use, boy was I wrong.

I have been cutting stamps with as many straight lines as I could, which doesn't always look the nicest. Now I can cut stamps closer to the image and have the EZ-Mount foam look as pretty as the stamp does.

I have the Hot-Knife and EZ-Mount listed on the website. In the next couple of days I will have the Kai Stamp Scissors and Glass Mats in stock.

I could not get the knife to make clean cuts on rubber.

Heres pics of me using the Hot-Knife-

The Hot-Knife comes with the cute little stand. It has an on/off switch on the cord. I was concerned that it would say which was on or off, or if it was one where you just plug it in and it heats up. It takes about 5 minutes to get it completely heated.

Place your stamps on the EZ-Mount Foam. 

Cut around the image. You don't need to do this perfectly either. After you get the stamp cut out of the foam you can take it and holding it in the air trim around the stamp.

The done stamp. Since the image is being trimmed close you won't have excess rubber that can accidentally get inked and stamped.

Scalloped Punches

So I was getting ready to make my run to the post office, and what was sitting outside the warehouse? Why, 9 boxes full of new Scalloped Punches.

Eeee Eeeee they are here, they are here!

I have-

Giga Rectangle

Mega Rectangle

Super Jumbo Rectangle, Oval, Circle, and Square

Extra Jumbo Rectangle, Oval, Circle, and Square

I don't have pictures yet on the website. I will try to get the picture listed as soon as possible.

Sorry I have been MIA

I got in another shipment of paper racks. Just like these. So I have been working like a mad woman to get the Bazzill cardstock organized into the racks. This will really speed up the pulling process and help to get orders out the door faster.

And you have probably seen that tons of new items have been added in the last couple of days. There are over 10 pages of new items in stock, and tons of items restocked.
