Sweet Dreams!

It's Fab Friday!
Hey I'm over on the Tiddly Inks blog for Fab Friday sharing this cute card I made using the Lilli Claire- Sweet Christmas Dreams digital stamp.
For my card this time, I decided to scale my digital image down quite small and then made a sort of background out of Lilli Clair. I coloured my image to match the stripe pattern of the Doodlebug Frosty Friends North Pole 12x12 paper. I love how it turned out even if the images were a pain to colour that small LOL! Let's just say I got a lot of use out of my Blender pen!!
I cut the "Be Merry" from the Lawn Fawn Winter Big Scripty Words die in the matching cardstock and offset each layer for a cool look. It's popped up with foam tape for a real dimensional feel. 
I love this bow with the candy cane added to match with Lilli's candy canes! There is also Crystal Stickles in all the little hats.
The inside sentiment is from High Hopes Stamps and is called "Glorious Day Script".

Copics Used:
Skin: E00, E11, E21, R20
Hair: E43, E44, E47
Blues: B23, B24, B29

Loads of Wishes!

Hi High Hope Fans & Friends!!
Today I am sharing a bit of a different project. I usually make cards but this time I used the High Hopes image "Old Pick Up Truck" and "Presents" to make a cute display piece for my Christmas theme this year.
The background paper is from my Stash. To add the presents into the back of the truck, I stamped a second image onto a piece of post it note. Then I played that image over top my Truck and stamped the presents on top. This technique is called masking, and makes the present appear if they are part of the original stamped image. I added the High Hopes "Lg Snowy Pine" that I coloured and decorated with some Stampendous Spoonful of Snow embossing glitter. In the opposite corner, some Holiday Lights cut with a YNS die balance things off. The Crystal Stickles make then sparkle!

This project will look so cute with my red, silver and black theme this year!
Copics Used:
Reds: R32, R35, R37, R39
Black/ Grey: W1, W3, W5, W7, W9
Greens: YG61, YG63, YG67

Warmest Holiday Wishes

Hi Ai Fans!
Here's an Oldie but goodie from Art Impressions. It's the "Giant Snowman" (Item#1138) and He is absolutely adorable!
I decided to use some of the papers from the Doodlebug "Here Comes Santa Claus" 6x6 collection! I made some snowbanks using a Stitched Snowdrift die from MFT and tucked the "Giant Snowman" into them. I added some Crystal Stickles to the hat band and mittens for some added interest. 
I just love this snowman so of course I had to make a few of them LOL. The sentiment is from the Ai "Southwest Christmas" set.
Here's the inside with the sentiment "Bright with Joy" (I think it's retired).
Copics Used:
Snowman: C00, C1, R00, YR04, YR09, E43, E47
Pinks: R10, R11, R13, R15
Reds: R24, R27, R29
Hat: C3, C5, C7
Holly: R24, YG63
