Candy Canes with Holly

Hello!  Today's Christmas card was made with Power Poppy's digital image Candy Cane Classic that I printed on White CS and colored with Copics.  The colors that I used were inspired by the patterned paper from a magazine freebie.  I used GKD Red CS as the base and mat under the image.  Finished with some glossy accents on the berries.  Sentiment stamped with Memento red ink is from Penny Black.  Used Spellbinders Rectangle Die to cut mat and image (I cut the tail of the bow to extend beyond the edge).

Ornaments or Tags

Welcome! Today I am sharing a couple of creations that could be use as hanging ornaments or tags on gifts.  They both were made with Repeat Impressions stamps from the Ornament and Snow globes set.  I used circle dies for cutting.  The top tag with the scene of a moose in the snow was stamped with Memento ink and Versamark  and colored with pencils and Copics, Added some sparkle with Diamond Crystal Stickles.The base was heat embossed with gold EP.  Added a Green satin ribbon.

The next tag with Candy Canes was stamped with Versamark ink and heat embossed with Red EP.  I added a frame of Red CS die cut with circle dies and added the stickles for sparkle. Finished with a White satin ribbon for hanging.

Double D Challenge: Run Run Rudolph. I used a moose instead of a deer which is acceptable.

Sweets for Christmas

Hello! Another card for today. I used a Power Poppy Digital Stamp Candy Cane Classic and a sentiment from Power Poppy Poinsettias set to create this sweet treat.  The image was colored with copics with touches of Red Rhinestones, Glossy Accents, and Sakura Stardust pen.  The sentiment was heat embossed with Gold EP. Mats cut from Gold Metallic card stock were layered under the pattern paper background and the image. The ribbon used is Diamond Wrap by Floral Garden from the Dollar Store is actually Gold Rhinestones on a mesh backing.

A Little Sugar

 

 

Hello! Christmas is coming quickly!  My cards are all made but I am making this for a challenge at Merry Monday Christmas Challenge #183 to make a card with Candy Canes.  I decided to use some older pattern paper from my stash...I fussy cut the Candy Canes from the design and used the stripe as a frame for the 2 canes tied with a green ribbon.  Since I decided to make a step card, I added some more candy with a Peppermint pattern and finished with a "Sweet" sentiment from Creative Clear stamps and a fun ribbon.

Candy Cane with a Bell

Hello...back to Christmas with another candy cane.  This is a CAS card using a digital image with some coloring added with Copics, Pilot Gold Marker, and Wink of Stella pen. I printed the sentiment with a Candy Cane Font.  After coloring the edge of the image with the gold marker, I adhered  the image on a card base of Red CS and added a strip of scrap of gold foil accented paper.

Candy Canes and Corners

Hello!  Yes I am back to Christmas cards.  I have become addicted to some of the Christmas challenges and enjoy checking them out weekly.  This card combines 2 of the challenges using Candy Canes and decorative corners.   I had to use a digital image of  Candy Canes....no Christmas stamps here with me... and printed the sentiment on my computer using a Candy Cane Font which I downloaded for free.  I tied some Bakers Twine to the canes and added some above and below  the sentiment. The top corners were decorated with sections cut from  a red doily cut with a Cheery Lynn die which I had in a bag of leftovers.
