Santa

Hi everyone! Today's Christmas card is a very traditional one.

The Santa stamp is from Victorine Originals. I stamped him in Versamark and then used gold embossing powder and heat embossed.

The designer paper is from Memory Box and layered with Scarlett Jewel cardstock from PTI. I added some Burgundy ribbon from RABOM and called it good.

Thanks for dropping by!

Snowflake

Hello! I'll be sharing a few Christmas cards this week as we get closer to the big day!

This one is a Clean and Simple card. I made of few of these to send out this year as they were quick and easy to make. This is actually a design I cased from a card I saw on Pinterest.

Using kraft cardstock I punched out the snowflake using the EK Success punch. I backed it with pure poppy polka dot designer paper and then layered it onto a base of pure poppy cardstock. Satin ribbon was attached prior to taping it down.

Sentiment is from Papertrey, Ink as is all the ribbon and cardstock.

Thanks for stopping in!

Glad Tidings

Hi everyone! I've saved a lot of really cool Christmas cards from Pinterest to case this season. Here is one of them.

White cardstock is from PTI and embossed with the holly themed embossing folder from Cuttlebug. It's the 5 x 7 one. Labels 4 and one of the fancy tags are used to frame up the wonderful sprig of fir stamp from Victorine Originals. Sentiment stamp is from Verve.

I finally used some of the red velvet ribbon I've been hoarding! White pearls are from Kaisercraft. Copic's used to color the fir sprig.

Mr & Mrs Snowman

Greetings everyone! I hope this finds you all doing well as Christmas approaches! I have yet to finish my shopping or mail out my cards! Ack! Here's one of my favorites, though!

Stamp is from Whippersnapper. I stamped it in Memento and then colored with Prisma Colored pencils and blended it with OMS. I haven't used this coloring technique in a long time and had fun with it!

I layered it with pure poppy cardstock onto a white card base. Sentiment is from Papertrey, Ink.

I ♥ you

Hello everyone! I found some inspiration this morning and completed this weeks Mojo Monday sketch!  Here's the sketch.

Here is what I did with it. I got tired of making Christmas cards and went with Valentines Day instead. I guess the hearts in the sketch worked for me today!

Designer paper is from My minds eye and the scallop die used is from Lifestyle Crafts. Same with the bigger hearts, but the little ones are from Verve! Red cardstock and ribbon are pure poppy from PTI.

Stamps are from The Paper Studio that I picked up at Hobby Lobby. Ink is from MFT. Red pearls are added to highlight the scallops and are from Queen and Company.

Thanks a bunch

Hi everyone! Sorry for being slow to post this last week, I've gotten some kind of virus and can't seem to breathe - and to top it off I got it from my boss when she was in town last week! Go Figure!

I thought I'd post a regular card this week to give everyone a break from all the Christmas cards.

Flower stamp is from Memory Box and colored with Copic's. I added some white pearls for the center of the flowers. I cut it out using one of my numerous tag dies.

The green is vellum that has been ran through the lattice embossing folder and then torn on the edge. Sentiment stamp is from Verve. I colored a white satin ribbon the same color as the flowers using Copic markers and tied onto the tag. It's also popped up using foam tape.

Thanks for stopping in!

Red mittens

Hi everyone!
I made this card over the last few days and it went well with the sketch challenge over at The house that stamps built. I made it with a circle as the focal point instead of a square.

Stamp is from Verve and colored with Copic's. The small snowflake in the middle of each mitten is an old TAC stamp that I conjured up and stamped in fresh snow ink.

Designer paper is from Memory Box and I sponged some Jardin Moss ink from Palette around the edges. Bow die is from MFT.
