Merry Christmas My Deer!

Good morning friends!  Today I'm sharing a sweet Christmas card featuring one of the new clear stamp releases from the Streamside Studios Etsy shop!

These adorable images are from the Oh Deer! Christmas Is Here! clear stamp set.  I diecut a stitched rectangle from red polka-dot pattern paper and adhered it to my card.  I sponged distress oxide inks onto a small panel of bristol card, spattered it with white acrylic paint, and adhered it to my card.  Next I diecut a frame from white cardstock and adhered it over the inked panel with foam tape.  I stamped the images on Neenah cardstock, colored them with copics, and fussy cut them.  I used a black glaze pen on the deers' noses and adhered them to my card with foam tape.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a fabulous day!

Hugs, Anita

Good morning friends!  I'm sharing a card featuring some adorable digital images from one of my favorite etsy shops!

These cute stockings with critters are from a digital stamp set by LTTS Doodles Etsy Shop.  The name of the stamp set is Mini Stockings.  Since I'm a fan of coloring sweet little animals, I knew I had to buy this set as soon as I saw it!  I diecut a stitched rectangle from bristol card and inked it with Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers, Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks.  I spattered the panel with white gouache and adhered it to my card base.  I stamped and diecut some pine boughs and adhered them to the top of the card with foam tape.  I colored the stamped images with copics and fussy cut them.  I used a black glaze pen on their eyes and I used a white gel pen to add white accents to the images.  I applied Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the peppermint sucker, heart, holly berries, star, and ornament.  I love the additional shine the Crystal Glaze gives the images.  I attached silver cording to the stockings and then adhered the stockings to my card with foam tape.  I heat-embossed a sentiment onto a strip of black cardstock and then adhered it with foam tape also.

Hello Friend

Happy Friday crafty friends!  Today I'm sharing a card I made for a sweet friend.

This sweet little fox is a digital stamp from the LTTS Doodles Etsy Shop and it's called Autumn Friends.  She has tons of adorable stamps to choose from so be sure to check out her shop!  I sponged some distress ink onto a stitched rectangle and spattered it with water.  Once dry, I adhered strips of pretty designer paper along the bottom of the panel.  I printed the image on Neenah cardstock, colored it with copics, and then fussy cut it.  I used black and white gel pens on the eyes and nose and added some highlights with the white gel pen.  I stamped a sentiment on the card and then adhered the fox with foam tape for some added dimension.

Copics:

Fox - E08, E15, E13, E11; C3, C1, C0; E01, E00, E000

Clothes - YG17, YG03, YG01; BG57, BG53, BG10; YR18, YR14, YR12
