Panda Christmas!

Happy Saturday!

Just popping in to share this adorable card I made for My Step Son and his girlfriend! Brianne is a huge Panda fan and when I found that out I knew I had to make their Christmas card with a Panda theme! This stamp is from High Hopes Stamps and is called "Snuggle and Cuddles". 

My dilemma was how can I make this stamp look Christmasy? Thanks to my good friend Donna, she gave me the idea to dress up the stamp with ornaments. A light went off in my head and I hand drew on a string of Christmas lights! Once I added the Christmas themed paper it all came together! This stamp works especially great as Kyle and Brianne just had our beautiful Grand Daughter! The Mommy Panda holding the cub just suits them perfectly!

Here's the decorated inside.

Copics Used:

Panda: C3, C5, C7, C9, R01

Bamboo: E31, E33, E35

Leaves: YG93, YG97

Baby's First Christmas!

Hi everyone!

I wanted to share a card I made for our Grand Daughter's First Christmas. We had our Christmas with them Monday night as the kids are heading North for Christmas. Jacqualine is absolutely adorable and we just heard that at her Dr. Appointment today she is now 8 lbs 15oz. Wow that's amazing! She'll be a month old tomorrow and started out at 7 lbs 1.5 oz so she is going really well! I could just hold her all day and stare at her adorable face!

This is a digital image called "Baby's First Christmas". I found this on Easy in the Pink Gem Designs Store. I chose papers from the MME Sugar Plum 6x6 collection. I added Crystal Stickles to the fur and pom pom on the baby's hat. A bit of ribbon with a double bow finished off my card!

Angelic Wishes Ornament

Hi Tiddly Inkers!

Today is the last challenge of the year over at  Tiddly Inks and the theme is "A Very Merry Christmas"! I made this adorable ornament to hang on my tree! This digital stamp is called Angelic Wishes!

I found this blank cardboard ornament at Hobby Lobby when I was there in the Fall and decorated it to add my digital image to. First I painted my ornament base with some gold craft paint. When that was dry I added some gold glitter paint on top. I cut out a circle from some gold paper I found in my stash and glued that to the base. I was going with a "gold" theme so I cut out some leafy branches with Deco foam and added some gold foil to them. After gluing them to the ornament I added some small white flowers and made 2 ribbon bows to add to the top! I popped Wryn up with some foam tape and voila my ornament is finished!

Wow it was super hard to take a picture of the ornament hanging as it keep spinning LOL!

Here you can see that I did the same thing on both sides so that no matter which way the ornament was hanging you would see the adorable angel!

Another close up of the opposite side of the ornament.

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E11, E21, R20

Hair: E30, E31, E33

Dress: C0, C1

Shoes: C1, C3, C5

Wings: Nuvo Crystal drops in Honey Gold (Thanks Donna!!)

I want to take a moment to thank Christy for the opportunity to be on the Design Team for the past 6+ months! Good luck to the new Designers as they get to play and create beautiful things with Christy's gorgeous Digital designs! A big shout out to Lou too as she was a fabulous and organized Coordinator!

Merry Christmas to all!

Happy Stamping!
