Santa Bob!

Hello everyone!

Today I am sharing with you a card using the super cute Santa Bob from the High Hopes new release called Joys of the Season.

I decided to use up some paper from my stash. I used the Echo Park Refections Christmas 6x6 collection. My design is really simple and I only added 2 layers of Designer papers. A piece of twine with 2 tiny gold bells, a bow, Crystal Stickles and some white flocking on Santa's beard and hair finished off my design!

inside of my card using the" Ho Ho Ho "sentiment.

Copics Used:

Skin: E000, E01, E31

Santa suit: R35, R37, R39

Boots & Glasses: W3, W5, W7, W9

Chimney: W1, W3, W5

Snow: B0000, B00

I did a second card using papers from the same collection but this time Santa's beard is left plain only using W0 on the edges. I wasn't sure I like the white flocking I used on the other card but the more I look at it, it seems to be growing on me.

Just a reminder to enter into our current Challenge over on the One Crazy Stamper Blog.

Cheers!

Hello Ai Fans!
Who doesn't love a good glass of wine? This set from Art Impressions is called "Cheers To You" (#4664) and is super cute. I love that you get a stamp and matching sentiment! This adorable Gal makes a perfect wine tag to add to a Hostess gift when visiting over the Holidays! I made a matching card to go with it as well. I do apologize for the darker photos, I had a really hard time trying to photograph this and get the right lighting.

I decided to use paper from the Echo Park The Story Of Christmas 6x6 collection. I love the Poinsettia and its a die from My Favourite Things I've had for a few years now. I added Yellow Stickles to the flower middle and Crystal Stickles to the fur on her coat.

The tag was simple to make. I cut a piece of 7 3/4" x 2 3/4" cardstock and scored it at the 2 1/2" mark. From there I cut a hole in the small section to slip over the bottle neck. Then just decorate it however you see fit.

I tried a different skin colour for a change. I got the idea from a suggested site called The Human Rainbow by the talented Sandy Allnock. I actually printed off the page and coloured all the faces up. It was a really interesting "lesson" and used colour combinations I had never thought of!

Copics Used:

Skin: E11, E33, V15 / cheeks R22

Hair: E44, E47, E49

Reds: R35, R37, R39

Greens: G24, G28

Golds: Y23, Y26, Y28

Shoes: W3, W5, W7

I bought this paper collection fro Pebbles called Winter Wonderland and have been dying to use it so I decided to make a fun version of the "Cheers To You" set. The colours are so bright and fun and very non-traditional for Christmas!

This time I put the sentiment that comes with the set on the inside of my card.

The last fun detail for this card was to add Flower Soft in the colour Peony Pink to the fur on her coat! I love how it turned out!

Thanks for sticking it out for my long post today LOL!

Happy Friday!

Rudolph Red And Evergreen Challenge!

Hi Ai Fans!

Its a new Challenge over on the Art Impressions blog!

We want to see you create something new using the colors Red & Green ! Easy right?....especially with Christmas right around the corner! We are also celebrating the Release of 2 Ai sets of clear stamps in partnership with Hampton Arts that are found exclusively in Michaels stores!

Both sets are super cute and each come with images and sentiments to match!

I love when I find stuff in my stash that I bought last year for 70% off! I remembered these little glassine style bags and the red and green doilies I had bought at Michaels. I decided to pull them out and make little treat bags for some of my up coming Christmas goodies!
