Today we are taking a look back at North Coast Creations November Release. For more inspiration using the November Release be sure to visit the NCC Blog.
I used the Nutcracker for my card. So I have a confession to make… I can’t stand Nutcrackers! Don’t ask me why, I have no clue but they scare me. So working with this stamp was a challenge for me but in saying that, I LOVE how this card turned out!
I colored him with copics, using white gel pen on his teeth, coat and gloves. I also used NCC Sweet Christmas Wishes for my sentiment. Added a little dew drop bling at the top and a big three loop bow in the middle.

It’s challenge time again over on the CCEE Stampers blog. Our challenge hostess is Lyn McAultry.
For our challenge this week, Lynn has challenged us to
Create a Christmas card using the tic-tac-toe board below. Use all three items in any row: across, down, or diagonally. You may add additional items to your card if you like, but you must include the 3 in the row you have chosen.
I went with Snow, Embossing, Glitter.
I used Snow Angel Murphy from North Coast Creations for my card. Colored Murphy with copics and cut him out completely. Attached him with dimensions. Used some fun papers for the background and a scallop die for the checked paper.
As for my snow, embossing, glitter….. I embossed the snow with Iridescent ice embossing powder so it looks like glitter when embossed. Hard to tell in the picture but it looks like Murphy is making a glitter snow angel.

Time for another CCEE challenge!! This being a brand new month, it is time to introduce Maryann Einam as our challenge hostess for the month.
Maryann has asked us to celebrate Movember by created a card that features a moustache.
I racked my brain for the longest time trying to think of what image I had with a moustache. I thought I was going to have to sit this one out as I didn’t have a single thing and then it hit me. I have the Gnome What? set from North Coast Creations! duh! The Gnome has a moustache!! So that is what I used.
Colored image with copics and used a white gel pen for his moustache and beard. Did a little out of the box cutting with the mushroom stamp.

Welcome to the North Coast Creations October release! This month features some really cute sets and I have two of them to show you today.
For my Snowman Family card, I colored the image with copics, used white gel pen for the balls on the ends of their hats and also on the tree as ‘snow’. Sprinkled some “snow” Flower Soft on and did a little faux stitching around the image.
Tommy Turkey is looking all proud colored with copics and cut out completely. White gel pen was used on his collar and a Spica pen on the buckle of his hat. He is also attached with dimensions.

Time for another challenge with the CCEE Stampers challenge blog. This week our challenge hostess for the month Lois Bak has another fun challenge for us.
This week Lois has given us a Wordplay Challenge. In honor of “Hug a Greeting Card Writer Day,” include on your card something that starts with each of the following letters – H U G.
My H.U.G. is hiding, ugh and green, read on to see how that all fits into my card.
I decided to use Gnome What? that was just released from North Coast Creations. Pulled out my prismacolored pencils and went to coloring. The plan was to color the mushrooms and cut them out completely which I did. But I needed an “U” so how about Ultra thick embossing and do some cracked glass? Sure! Well, I embossed it, stuck it in the freezer and worked on the gnome.
The gnome is also colored with prismacolored pencils. Added some clouds behind him and went and got the mushrooms. When I started cracking them, pieces of the UTEE actually started falling off!! Great now what am I gonna do? I ended up peeling most of it off so hence my UGH!
Mushrooms are popped up with dimensions so the gnome can hide behind them.
See, you can see the ultra thick embossing on the thin pieces that I just couldn’t get off! ugh

Joanne has another fun challenge for us over at CCEE Stampers. “Spring has Sprung here in the U.S. but Frances, in Australia, is facing Autumn. One thing these two seasons share are bright blue skies and lots of color in nature. Make a card/project with a spring or autumn scene including blue skies.”
I used North Coast Creations Hoppy Easter for my card. Colored the image with copics. Added some Flower Soft to the middle of the flowers and did a little cutting out of the circle. I sorta forgot the blue sky part but I colored blue around the bunny some so I am calling that my blue sky. 
If you want to join us, feel free to link up your card over on the CCEE blog! We would love to see your creations.
