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!

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!

Trick Or Treat

Hello friends and happy Wednesday!  I'm sharing a Halloween card featuring a fun digital stamp.

This cute witch and her kitty are by Andrea LaGafotas.  I found this stamp a couple of years ago in her Etsy shop and I finally found some time to color this sweet image!  I just checked her shop and I no longer see this digital stamp listed but you may be able to message her and inquire about it.  I absolutely adore their giant eyeglasses lol.  I die cut a panel of bristol card and used a stencil and distress oxide inks to create the cloudy background.  

I printed the images on Neenah card stock, colored them with copics, and fussy-cut them.  I adhered the images to the card with foam tape for added dimension.  The die cut sentiment is from my stash and I believe it was from Reverse Confetti (which is no longer in business).
