Santa and Friends

Hello!  Today I have a card made using a print out from a file of PC Hug Art showing Santa with a Bird, Bear, and Reindeer. I fussy cut the image printed on white CS and attached to a panel of Green textured handmade paper. Added a stamped sentiment cut with a Spellbinders label die.

Another Christmas Card

Hello!  I have been playing with a lot of sketch challenges lately and have another one today.  I decided to make another Christmas card....never too early to get a head start.   I used a strip of patterned paper from my Christmas scraps and a circle die cut of an embossed ( Nordic Christmas EF) Red CS.  Assembled them with a red mat under the patterned paper and a silver circle mat under the Reindeer. Finished with GKD sentiment stamped with Versamark and embossed with Red EP. Inked the raised area of the circle with White Ink.

Red, White + Pop of Green

Hello!  I have been playing with the challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches and used it almost verbatim. I used Hero Arts stamps and dies  for the focus area and Gina K stamps and dies for the snowflakes. The red background layer was embossed with Crafter's Companion Nordic EF (design of snowflakes and reindeer). I inked the edge with white and layered on the ovals, die cuts, added white enamel dots and red nail heads.  Used Green card base to finish.

Winter Scene

Hello!  I had fun making this card inspired by the Sketch #432(below) challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches.  I pulled out Hero Arts October kit to create the scene using stamps and dies. Used blue CS for the skies and White CS for the other layers - the mountains were inked with Distress Oxide Iced Spruce ink.  The trees were cut from Green CS and the stamped reindeer was fussy cut.  I added snow to the sky, mountains and trees with Marvy Snow Marker. Spritzed the sky with Gold Shimmer mist. The sentiment from Creative Clear Stamps was inked with DO Faded jeans and filled in with Stardust pen for some glitter and shine.  Attached to Glossy White CS base.

Here Comes Santa

Hello!  My card depicts a scene of Santa leaving on his annual trip with Mrs. Claus waving him on his way. The stamps and dies used are all from Hero Arts October kit.  For the Sky,  I used White CS
that absorbed some accidently spilled Metallic Blueberry Mist on my work desk.  The Mountain layer was cut from special paper included in the kit.  The die cut elements were all colored with Copics.  Added snow with Snow Maker.  This was a fun card to create.
