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!

Kick Up Your Heels & Celebrate!

Finally I have a card to share! This card was made for my Dad's birthday.  When it comes to cards for Dad I am always looking for images that are different and quirky. Something that will make him smile.

Bloobel Stamps to the rescue!  If your looking for something different check out this digital stamp line.  The image used on this card is Moustache Ballerina and he was coloured with Copic markers.  I kept the card simple so the image would take center stage among the stars.

Glitter was added to the stars using Crystal Stickles and the edges were distressed with my Heidi Swapp Edge Distresser.

Thanks for stopping by.  Feel free to leave a comment.

My Friend Flakey Colouring

Hi everyone! I have one more colouring to share. This one is from Sugar Nellie  and is called My Friend Flakey! I have coloured this digi with Copic markers and used fine glitter on the bottom as well as Crystal Stickles on the snowflakes. Don't you think he is going to look great on a Christmas card?

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.

Todays Colors

Today I am sharing Frozen Sweet Pea - Blooming Beauty and Iced Bleeding Heart from Lacy Sunshine Stamps.   

Both digital stamps were coloured with Copics.  I have a small set of water colour pencils that have been calling to me so today I experimented on the backgrounds with them.  They didn't come out exactly as I had envisioned but it was fun to try something different.

As you may notice I also came across my jar of Snow-tex and have added it to both images as well as glitter, Stickles crystal, Stickels lace and Folk Art acrylic paint. Thanks for stopping by.

Iced Bleeding Heart Pot Pretty

The "fur" trim on her hood and sleeves has a touch of Stickles Frosted Lace to add dimension.

Sauce Pans Cookie Crumbler - Recipe Card Challenge

Hi everyone. Here is a Recipe Card  for the Team A Challenge happening over on the Lacy Sunshine blog. Today I am showcasing one of  the scrumptious Cookie Crumblers from the Lacy Sunshine Bake Shoppe.  Her name is Sauce Pans Cookie Crumbler and she is the perfect fit for this cookie recipe card.

Coloured with Copics

The mixing spoon was cut out using my Cricut and coloured with Copics.

Out came my camera for pictures of the chocolate and butterscotch chips.  They were printed and fussy cut. A piece of velum with torn edges was added to look like wax paper.  The paper used is a happy find from my stash called Doilies from Crate Paper.  Other embellishments are from my stash.

Woodland Wisp "Wispy" Card

I just can't seem to get enough of Woodland Wisp "Wispy".  She is one of the fabulous digi stamps created by the talented Heather Valentin.  You can find Wispy and her friends over at Lacy Sunshine Stamps.

Wispy was coloured with Copics and all paper, embellishments came from my stash. Glitter on the wings is Stickles Crystal and Liquid Pearl Petal Pink was used for the bracelet.

And did I mention I just can't seem to get enough of this cute digi  ... here is another one coloured up with Copics. She is just too cute!

Stickles Crystal was used on the wings. Liquid Pearl accents were added to dress, bracelet and wings.
