Merry Christmas

Hello crafty friends!  Today I'm sharing a fun Christmas card featuring a digital image by Mi Fabrica De Creciones.

You can find Ana, the owner of Mi Fabrica De Creciones on Instagram at @mifabricadecreciones.  She has several more digital Christmas images in her Ko-fi shop!  I inked a 4.25" x 5.5" panel of bristol card with distress oxide inks and splattered it with both blue and white watercolor paints.  I diecut the snowflake panel using a die by Lawn Fawn and adhered it to the inked panel.  I printed the puppy on the ornament on Neenah cardstock.  I colored the image with copics, fussy-cut it, and adhered it to my card.  I used a white gel pen to add highlights.  The sentiment is included in the digital stamp set.  I printed it on white cardstock, trimmed it, and adhered it to my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a wonderful day!

Season's Greetings

Good morning crafty friends!  Today I'm sharing a card that I posted over on the Heffy Doodle Blog.

I started my card by cutting a panel of white cardstock measuring 4.25" x 5.5".  I used the Notre Dame Stencil and ink blended the panel with Festive Berries and Iced Spruce Distress Oxide Inks.  Most of the images are from the Fireside Dreams Stamps.  The kitty is from the Cozy Kitties stamps and the mouse is from the Deer To Me Stamps.  I colored all the images and then diecut them using the Heffy Doodle Mini Die Cutting Machine and the coordinating dies.

I chose a sentiment from the Happy Holidays Sentiments Stamps and stamped it at the top of y panel, then I adhered the panel to the card base.  I adhered the images with foam tape for dimension.

Christmas Tags

Good morning crafty friends!  Today I'm sharing a couple of Christmas tags I made using some adorable images from the LTTS Doodles Etsy Shop!

These cute tags are from the Christmas Gift Tags digi stamps.  There are a total of four tags but today I'm only sharing two of them.  I hope to make the other two later this week.  I printed the tags on Neenah cardstock, colored them with copics, and fussy-cut them.  I used a white gel pen to add some highlights and I added a little bit of glitter to the cuff on the stocking and the hat.  The small "to" and "from" stamps are by Lawn Fawn.  I punched a tiny hole in the top of the tags and threaded through some silver cording to attach them to packages.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Wishing You A Warm & Cozy Christmas

Hello crafty friends!  Today I'm sharing a Christmas card I created for the Heffy Doodle Blog.  

I started my card by cutting a piece of white cardstock that measures 4.25" x 5.5".  I ink blended the panel with Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks and spattered it with gouache thinned with water.

I used the Lovely Landscapes Stamps to stamp the tree landscape.  I colored the trees with copics and used the Lovely Landscapes Dies to diecut the trees and snowy slope.  I stamped a sentiment from the Happy Holidays Sentiment Stamps.  I stamped the deer from the Deer To Me Stamps and the Christmas Tree, lights, and star from the Trim The Tree Stamps.  I colored the images with copics and then used the Heffy Doodle Mini Die Cutting Machine and the coordinating dies to diecut all the images.

I adhered the snowy landscape to the inked panel with foam tape.  I adhered all the images to my card and added Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the Christmas lights.  I added Star Dust Stickles to the star and tops of the little snow-covered trees.  I used the Tall Snow Globe Dies to diecut the snowflakes and adhered them to my card.

Thank you so much for stopping by!  I hope you have a wonderful day!
