Holiday Greetings!

Greetings!

What a cute Santa and reindeer, don't you think?! This is the adorable "Christmas Pals" red rubber stamp from High Hopes. It's hard to believe that it's November already and Christmas is right around the corner! This will be a cute addition to my Christmas card stash!

I stamped "Christmas Pals" onto Copic Friendly paper and coloured it in using my Copic Sketch Markers. Next I fussy cut out my image and added a black marker to the edges for a finished look. My papers today are from the Memory Box "Christmas Plaid" 6x6 collection. I've had the SSS Birch Tree Window for a while and finally found the perfect design to use it on. I cut it out and using some Delicata Golden Glitz ink and a sponge dauber, added some gold to the cut out edges to match the gold stripe in the paper. Santa is popped up with some foam squares for added dimension. The sentiment is also from High Hopes and is called "North Pole Greetings". I added some Stampendous Spoonful of Snow for Santa and the Reindeer to stand in. Some Stickles on Santa's fur trim and gold enamel dots finish off my card.

Copics Used:

Skin: E11, E21, R20

Beard: C0, C1, C2, C3

Make A Splash!

Hi!

I'm just popping in today with two cute cards I made using the Polar Playtime "Make A Splash" stamp set by Craft Consortium! As soon as I saw the Polar Playtime line, I fell in love with it all! Let's just say there might be more cards coming using this line LOL!

Both of my cards use paper from the CC Polar Playtime 6x6 matching paper pad. Some nice white bows on both cards tie them together and finish off my designs.

I stamped the seal and iceberg image and then added the jumping fish above it. I hand fussy cut out the 2 fish on the bottom and added them with foam squares for some dimension. I added some loose glitter to the iceberg with glue. Let's just say..... I'm still finding glitter everywhere LOL. This card starts with a 5.5" square card base.

This card is a touch smaller at 4x4". I used some MFT Stitched Hills to create this little scene. The igloo has some Clear Glitter pen on it for a fun look.

Carollers!

Happy Thursday!

This sweet image from Kinda Cute By Patricia Alveraz called "Kids Singing Carols" brings back fond memories for me! When I was little we always spent Christmas Eve at My Aunt and Uncle's house. Santa would make a surprise visit with a small gift for everyone and my family would feast on goodies. After we ate my cousins, sister and myself would go out carolling around the neighbourhood. Those were the good old days!

I downloaded, sized and printed my image on Copic friendly paper and using my Copic Sketch Markers, coloured it in. I decided to use papers from the Photoplay "Luke 2" 6x6 collection. I cut out my image and squares using an MFT Zig Zag Square and Rectangle die. I added some polka dots to the girl's hat, scarf and mittens using a White Gel Pen. Some ribbon, bow and silver enamel dots finish off my card.

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E21, E11, R20, R22

A Cozy Season!

Hello!

Today's card uses the adorable "Chris Mouse Dreams" stamp from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. This  little cutie is waiting for Santa to come, all bundled up and cozy for the night!

I stamped and coloured my card with my Copic Markers to match the papers from the Bazzill Basics Paper "Countdown To Christmas" 6x6 collection. I added some lines to the blanket with a thin black marker to create a checkered look. I stamped the sentiment "Cozy Season" below my image. Next, using this Frilly Nested Square Die from Gina Marie, I cut out my image, backed it with matching cardstock and added it on a tilt to my card. A nice big bow and some red enamel dots finish off my card.

Flip The Snowflake!

Howdy!

I'm popping in today with a set of cards I made using the Taylored Expressions "Flip the Snowflake" stamp and matching die. I bought this set last year when I was inspired by TE video (you can view it HERE). I finally got it out and played along while I watched the video.

These cards come together fast as the stamp is inked, no Copic colouring here lol. You also use your MISTI to "flip" the image for perfect stamping and spacing. Then you use the die and cut out the snowflakes, place on a background and BOOM you're done!

On this diagonal version, I used 3 ink colours to try to get an ombre effect. I embossed the sentiment with Silver Embossing Powder. I added the stamped "cut out" to an ink blended background. A few clear gems in various sizes finished off my card.

On this example, I made an ink blended background and then stamped the image with embossing ink. Then I added Silver Embossing Powder and heat set it. I stamped the sentiment in ink to match and added a few die cut snowflakes popped up with foam squares. More gems finish off this card.

On this card I used the same technique as the blue card trying to get an ombre inked look. I embossed the sentiment with more of the Silver Embossing Powder. I added some pink gems on all the snowflake centers for a sparkly look.

Winter Friends!

Hello!

Today I am sharing these cute Winter friends with you! I love the look on the Snowman's face.... such a look of love to his little bear friend!! This digital stamp is from Kinda Cute By Patricia Alveraz and is called "Snowman and Friends".

I am using paper from the Doodlebug "Christmas Town" 6x6 collection. I inked all the edges of my papers with Vintage Photo Distress Ink for a bit of added dimension! I downloaded, sized and printed the digital image and then coloured it in with my Copic Markers. I used lots of paper layers for fun combination. I added some twine, a bow and snowflake charm for added interest. A few snowflake sequins finish off my card.

Snowlady!

Hello!

I'm a sucker for a cute snowman and today's image from High Hopes Stamps called "Birdies Friend Snowlady" melted my heart! She's just too cute, isn't she??!!

I stamped and coloured my image with my Copic Sketch Markers to match my papers from the Photoplay "Frosty Friends" 6x6 collection. I cut the image out with an Oval die and cut another oval to place behind it. Using more oval dies I cut out some of the Designer paper as well. I used the High Hopes sentiment called "Work of Art"on the front of my card. A simple layout makes this fun card today. 

I popped the image up with foam squares to give the card some added interest. Some ribbon, enamel dots and a bit of Stickles on the heart buttons to finish off my card.

Happy Halloween!

Hi!

It's Halloween tonight and this year it might be a bit different due to the pandemic. Hopefully all the little ghosts and goblins stay safe but still manage to have fun! I made this card using the Craft Consortium's Happy Haunting stamp set called "Trick Or Treat".

I stamped and coloured my card using my Copic Markers. I decided to use papers from the Craft Consortium "Happy Haunting" 6x6 collection. This card is a bit "busy" with the papers, but I went with it anyway! I hand cut out the image and added a flag border. I used lots of glitter pen on the image although it's hard to see in the pictures. I also added White Nuvo dots to the mushroom for a bit of added dimension.

Anything Goes Challenge!

Happy Thursday!

Well, today is my last post Guest Designing over on the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog! Wow this month went by fast and I had so much fun playing along in their Challenges. This weeks Challenge Theme is "Anything Goes". I decided to make this fun slimline card using the "Birds and the Bees" and "Green Fingers" stamp sets from Craft Consortium. This is a new Company for me and they have the cutest images!

I started by cutting out a white base using a Gina Marie "Scalloped Stitched Slimline" die. Next using Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink and an MFT Cloud Stencil, I created my sky background. I used some Brutus Monroe Rainbow Dot Slimline paper to create my hills and grass and inked the edges using some Vintage Photo distress Ink. After I stamped and coloured the images with my Copic Markers, I cut them out with my Brother Cut N Scan. All I had to do then was create my little scene. I added some Stickles to the flower centres and the bee's wings for a bit of bling.

Copics Used:

Merry Christpaws!

 Happy Tuesday!

I'm so happy you stopped by today to see this adorable card using the "Dog Trio Block" from High Hopes Stamps! I'm a dog lover and have 2 fur babies of my own. Christmas is fun for them as they get gifts too. My one dog Ally, will even unwrap the gift if you start the corner for her. Stella just waits until Ally unwraps it and then steals it away. Then the chase is on LOL!

I stamped my image onto Copic friendly paper and used my Copic Markers to colour it in. Next, using a Double Roped Square die from Gina Marie, I cut out the coloured image. I thought the "Merry Christpaws" sentiment went perfect with this image! My papers today are from the Photoplay Kringle & Co. 6x6 collection. Love the non traditional red and black theme of this collection. A bit of Crystal Stickles on the image finish off my card.

Copics Used:

Dog with hat: T0, T1, T6, T7, T8, T9
