Santa's Coming!

Ho Ho Ho!

It's hard to believe that Christmas is less than a month away! It always seems to creep up on us! I have to say this is the first year I had my shopping done and presents wrapped by the middle of November! Look at me go LOL. Todays card features the adorable "Christmas Santa" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps!

I started my card by stamping the image onto Copic friendly paper and then stamped the "Coming To Town" sentiment underneath Santa. Next, I coloured my image in using my Copic markers to match papers from the Vicki Boutin "Evergreen and Holly" 6x8 collection. Using a MFT Stitched Octagon die, I cut the image out and piece to put behind it. Of course Santa has to have some sparkle so I added Crystal Stickles to the fur parts on his outfit. Some twine and enamel dots finish off my card.

Copics Used:

Skin & Beard: E11, E21, R20/ C0, C1, C2, C3

Santa's outfit: R22, R24, R27, R29/ C5, C8, C9

Snow Couple!

Hello!

Well we just had a blast of winter so these adorable Snowmen are perfect for my post today! We sure got spoiled the beginning of November with warm Fall weather so to all of sudden get some cold weather was a shock lol! I remember when the kiddies were little, the first snowfall they'd rush out to make snowmen even if there was hardly any snow. I love anything "snow people" related and this cutie called "Snow Couple Block" from High Hopes Stamps just makes me feel happy!

I started my card design by stamping the image onto alcohol friendly paper and coloured the image in with  my Copic Sketch markers. I love the colours and snowflake print from the Sunny Studios "All Is Bright" 6x6 collection. My design is simple, with just layers of Designer Paper and the image out out with a MFT Zig Zag die. I kept the card flat, no foam tape this time for easy mailing. A few enamel dots and some Crystal Stickles finish off my card today.

I decorated the inside of my card using some of the scraps from the paper collection and a MFT Border die. The HH Sentiment called "Snowfolk" goes nicely with the Snow Couple Block.

Copics Used:

Snowmen: N0, N1, N5/ YR04, YR09

Hat & Buttons: N5, N6, N8

Boy's Scarf & Mitts: E23, E25, E29/ BG 49, BG53, BG57

A Few Good Men!

Happy Tuesday!

Today I am sharing with you a quick and easy card! The "Good Men Garland" stamp from High Hopes Rubber Stamps fits perfectly across a 4.25" x 5.5" card base and is quick and easy to colour! 

To start my card, I stamped the image onto Copic friendly paper and coloured it in to match my designer papers. The papers are from the Doodlebug "Night Before Christmas" 6x6 collection. I love the little gingerbread men in the papers, too cute! I used a Pretty Pink Posh border die to cut out underneath my stamped image and designer paper. A pretty green strip of ribbon and bow finish off my card.

Copics Used:

E31, E33, E35

R24, R29, YG25

Nordic Snowman!

Hello!!!

Just popping in with another card to celebrate the "Christmas/Winter" theme the Design Team is using this month over at High Hopes Rubber Stamps.  I decided to use this cutie called "Nordic Snowman" and paired it with the HH "Snow People Saying" sentiment.

To start making my card, I stamped the image onto Copic friendly paper. I fell in love with these papers from the Photo Play's "Tula and Nobert's Christmas Party" 6x6 collection. Non-traditional.... but works for a winter themed card as well. I coloured the image to match the papers and used a Studio Katia "Half Stripped Cover" to pop my image up on. It was fun piecing the different papers back into the die. A bow (MFT Bountiful Bows die) and some Crystal Stickles finish off my card.

Copics Used:

C00, C1, C2

YR04, YR09

E23, E25

BG05, BG06, BG09, BG70, BG78

G05, G07, G09, G24, YG17

Fa-La-La!

Happy November 1st!

The Design Team over at High Hopes Rubber Stamps is having fun this month with Christmas/Winter themed stamps. I decided to play with the "Bird Song" image and paired it with the "Fa-La-La-La" sentiment. I'm loving these cuties!

I stamped the image onto Copic friendly paper and coloured the image with my Copic Sketch markers. I decided to use papers from the Echo Park's "Winter" 6x6 collection and coloured the image to match. Taking a Gina Marie Loopy Oval die, I cut the image out and popped it up with some foam tape. A few different sizes of snowflakes were added for a fun touch. Since I was at my cottage and didn't have my Distress Inks with me, I used a Copic B97 marker to edge the papers. Some Crystal Stickles on the snowy branches finish off my card.

Copics Used:

B41, B45, B91.B95, B97,B99

E41, E42, E43, E44, E47, E49

YR24,YR26, YG97
