Christmas Cards Featuring Reggie & Rory

I hope your not getting tired of Christmas cards yet!  Two more have joined the Christmas card parade.

Once again I am using digital stamps by Heather Valentin.  You can find her stamps along with some awesome colouring books at Lacy Sunshine Stamps.

Watch out!  Here comes Reggie's Winter Sled. 

Paper, ribbon and pearl embellishment are from my stash. Snowflake die: Giovanna Snowflake. Digital stamp coloured with Copic Markers.  I used Stampendous Winter Wonderland embossing powder to create snow and add dimension.  Crystal Stickles lend sparkle to the snow and background.  Sentiment was stamped with a clear stamp and Memento black ink. 

Rory is ready to do some decorating!  This is Rory's Decorations.

Rory is coloured with Copics and unfortunately I forgot to write down the colours used. Paper and embellishments are from my stash.  Snow flake: Giovanna Snowflake die.  I mixed Stampendous winter Wonderland embossing powder with Recollections Vintage Blue opaque sparkle for the snow and Stickles add extra background sparkle.

Thanks for stopping by.  Happy Colouring!

Standing Under the Mistletoe

I don't know anyone that doesn't like to receive Christmas cards. Do you?

With that in mind I am still in full card making mode.  I try to make all my Christmas cards but unfortunately fall short at times.  I really must start earlier.

Today's card is using a digital stamp from the talented artist Heather Valentin.  I was lucky to have been a past design team member at Lacy Sunshine and have a soft spot for her images. 

Rory and Mikey Under the Mistletoe

All paper and embellishments are from my stash.  Rory and Mikey are coloured with Copic markers.  Snow flake die: Giovanna Snowflake. Snow texture: Snow-tex.  Stickles added for glitter.

Thanks for stopping by.  Happy colouring!

Let's Start The Christmas Card Parade

Are you making your Christmas cards this year?  I have been making mine for a few years now. Some are whimsical, some are cute and sometimes a few traditional ones join the mix.

I use digital images from a variety of talented artists and the ones I have used for these cards can be found over at Mo's Digital Pencil.

Let the Christmas card parade begin!

Carolers Three

Carolers Three is coloured with Copics but I didn't keep track of the colours.  I used Snow-Tex to create dimensional snow.  Embellishments and paper are from my stash.

Little Elf Pipa, Little Elf Mim, Little Elf Finn

Aren't these elves just the cutest thing!!  All embellishments and paper are from my stash of bits and pieces.  Colouring was done with Copic markers listed below.  I also used Spica Red pen and a Gold gel pen, Sparkles are stickles.
E000, E00, E04, E11, E21, R22. R29, R59, G09, G12, G24, G94, G99, YG03, YR23, Y15, Y11, Y00, C3, C1, C0

Ho Ho Whoa

I am sure there a few out there that can relate to this.  Who hasn't precariously carried boxes of Christmas decoration and had to retrieve a few.  Coloured with Copics and touches of Red Spica pen for shine on the bulbs.  The edges of card stock were distressed.  Snowflakes are from my stash.


Thanks for stopping by.  Happy Colouring, Carding and Crafting!

Happy Holidays Christmas Card

Today I am sharing my card for the bi-weekly challenge over at the Lacey Sunshine Colour Your World, Anything Goes Challenge.  I was given the digi Snow Days Rory to use for creative inspiration but thought she looked a little lonely and needed a friend.  Merging Reggie Christmas Bells was the perfect answer.

Happy Holidays

Rory's Lil Reindeer Friend Christmas Card

Hi all! Today I am sharing a card I made using Rory's Lil Reindeer Friend by artist Heather Valentin.  You can find more Rory digi's at the Lacy Sunshine, Color Your Wold, Crafter's Candy Shoppe.  I must admit I am a big Rory fan and do enjoy colouring her. 

Rory's Lil Reindeer Friend

On this card the embellishments were kept low and minimal so the card would be easier and less expensive to mail out.  All papers and embellishments are from my stash scraps.  Snow-tex and glitter was used for the snow accents.  The snowflakes were created with a Recollections 5/8in punch . 

Rory's Lil Reindeer Friend was coloured using Copic markers.  Colours used are on the recipe card below.

Rory's Christmas Unicorn

My inspirational card today is showcasing a wonderful stamp called Rory's Christmas Unicorn.  I had so much fun colouring her up and creating the night snow globe.   

You can find Rory and all her Christmas friends at Lacy Sunshine Stamps. 

Rory's Christmas Unicorn

The coloured image was coloured with Copics and fussy cut to resemble a snow globe. 

Stars were added using acrylic paint. Snow-tex sprinkled with glitter make up the base. 
Lines in the blanket were done with a white pen, Red Spica pen and Olive Spica pen.  
All paper and embellishments are from my stash. 

Why Not A Purple Snowflake

It's that time of year!  You are going to see a lot of Christmas Cards popping up on my blog.  Today I am sharing one with Iced Bleeding Heart Flower Pot Pretty from Lacy Sunshine Stamps.  

Thought I would try something different and match the paper to the background.  The paper and flower were in on of Lacy Sunshine Crafters Candy boxes.  The digital stamp was coloured using Copics.  Lace is from my stash.

Sammi Boo's Hot Cocoa Christmas Card

Hi everyone! Thanks for stopping by.  Tonight I am sharing a Christmas card using the image Sammi Boo's Hot Cocoa.  She is one of the wonderful digital stamps that can be found at Lacy Sunshine Stamps.  Heather has a great selection of Christmas digi's for all your Christmas cards and crafts.

I went out of my comfort zone with this stamp and decided to create a scene.  A bit ambitious for me .. like I know how to colour trees!  Thankfully Copics blend nicely and hide some of the "what were you thinking" marks.  When all was said and done it all came together in the end.

Frozen Sweet Pea Blooming Beauty Christmas Card

Hi everyone. I am sharing a Christmas card I made using a previously shared colouring of  Frozen Sweet Pea Blooming Beauty from the talented Heather Valentin.  

I started with snowflake accents but they just were not working for me tonight.  This card needed flowers and sparkle!  Unfortunately the camera didn't pick up the sparkle from the ribbon mesh that is covering the card background ... take my word for it, it looks great!  

The flowers leaves and silver bits  are from my stash.  The leaves and silver branches are cut from dollar store accent sprigs I picked up last year. The ribbon mesh is from one of Lacy Sunshine's Crafter's Candy Boxes. 

Christmas Cards Made Last Year

Hi everyone.  I spent the past few nights cleaning up some of my files and organizing my ever growing inventory of digital stamps and images.  While moving, sorting and dragging deep in my computer I came across a couple of pictures of last years Christmas cards.  

It is always interesting to look back and see what was "in" last year on the craft table.  One tends to forget over the year ... well this one does!

These 3 cards all have images from Mo's Digital Pencil , were coloured with Copic's and sent out last year to family and friends.

Here comes Bubbles Ice Skating among the glittering snowflakes.  Keeping it simple and easy for mailing at Christmas.  You can find this little darling at Lacy Sunshine Stamps. Thanks for looking.

Christmas isn't far away

Christmas! That's months away you say unless your a card maker who sends out homemade personalized Christmas cards every year like I do.  I wish I could say I was one of those people who made Christmas cards all year long but I am not.  Usually panic starts setting in mid November when I hear there is only a month and a half before the big day.  Every year I say not this year but ... well you know how it goes.

Not this year! Well one card is a start!  Here is something a little different. Not your traditional Christmas colours but I think Roy's Christmas Present Delivery looks very festive indeed, don't you?
