Gingerbread Christmas

Hello crafty friends!  Today I'm sharing a fun Christmas card featuring an older stamp set by The Greeting Farm.

This sweet gingerbread couple is from the Gingerbread Christmas clear stamp set.  I can't find this stamp on their website so I'm assuming it's been retired or maybe it's just currently sold out.  I embossed a 4.25" x 5.5" panel of white card stock with a big dot embossing folder but the embossing doesn't really show well in the photo.  I used a Spellbinders' die to cut the dome shape, inked it with Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Ink, and splattered it with thinned white gouache.  I die cut a snow bank and a red bow and adhered them to the dome.  I glued the dome to my card an added a few die cut snowflakes.  I colored the gingerbread with copics, fussy-cut them, and adhered them with foam tape.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a fabulous day!

Hugs, Anita

Christmas Reindeer

Hello friends!  I'm sharing a Christmas card featuring products from My Favorite Things!  

I cut a panel of bristol card and heat-embossed snowflakes from various stamp sets in my stash.  I inked the panel with Spun Sugar and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Inks.  I used a paper towel to remove the ink over the snowflakes and splattered the panel with water.  I attached the panel to my card along with a die cut snowy slope.  I die cut the Stacked Merry Die-namics from both red and white card stock, adhered the die cuts together, and adhered it to my card.  I heat-embossed the Christmas sentiment on black card stock and adhered it to my card with foam tape.  I stamped the Reindeer Love reindeers on Neenah card stock, colored them with copics, and die cut them using the coordinating dies. I used a black gel pen on the eyes and noses and then adhered the reindeer to the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a fabulous day!

Hello crafty friends!  Today I'm sharing a Christmas card featuring a digital stamp from the LTTS Doodles Etsy Shop!

If you're not familiar with the adorable digital stamps in the LTTS Doodles Etsy Shop, you really need to go check them out!  I printed this sweet bunny and her penguin buddies on Neenah card stock, colored it with copics, and fussy cut it.  I used both black and white gel pens on the bunny eyes.  I stamped a panel of bristol card with a snowflake stamp from My Favorite Things and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.  Next, I inked the panel with Broken China, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks.  I wiped over the embossing with a clean towel to remove the ink from the snowflakes and then adhered the panel to the front of my card.  I die cut the red frame using a die from My Favorite Things and I die cut the snowy slope using a die from Lawn Fawn.  I adhered the frame, snowy slope, and colored image to my card with foam tape.  The sentiment is from a stamp set in my stash by Mama Elephant.
