Building a Snowman

Bears and building Snowmen are another thing I really enjoy.  I made this card using the stamp set "Bright Baubles" and "Holiday Helper" by Neat & Tangled and "Reindeer Games" by Mama Elephant.  I coloured the images using Copics.  I added fur to their hats using a mixture of glue and white paint.  I add some glitter gel pen dots for some falling snow.  The sentiment is from an older stamp set that I don't know the name of.

Thanks for dropping by to have a look.

Santa with his Moose

Christmas is one of my favourite times of year.  I also like my moose (Canadian thing).  I used the stamp sets "Merry Christmoose" and "Here comes Santa Claus" from Sugar Pea Designs.  I coloured my images using Copics and fussy cut them out.  I coloured my background using Tim Holtz Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.  I cut out two hills to place in front using "Stitched Hillside Borders" by Lawn Fawn.  I added my images on top.  I put red Nuvo Crystal Drops for the baubles on the trees.  The sentiment is one I have had for awhile and don't know who makes it.  

Thanks for stopping by to have a look.

Christmas Cookie Bird

This cute little Christmas Bird is eating his yummy cookie.  The Christmas Bird is part of the stamp set "Season's Tweetings" from Honey Bee.  The "Christmas Cookie" sentiment was sketched using the Cameo.  I heat embossed in white the "Holiday Cheer" sentiment (part of my Christmas sentiment stash so the brand name is unknown to me).  I stamped and embossed the green background with a snowflake and clear embossing powder.  I coloured the Christmas bird using copics and added some dimensional glue and glitter to his hat.

Oscar Mayer Wiener

This card definitely makes me laugh.  When I saw the "Hot Dog" stamp set from Neat & Tangled, I just had to have it.  As a kid we use to sing the "Oscar Mayer Wiener" song all the time and this stamp set reminded me of that.  The music notes are from "Critter Concert" by Lawn Fawn.  I coloured it with copics.

Autumn

Autumn is here, which is my favourite time of year.  For someone who loves autumn, I am not one who creates cards with autumn colours.  It is time I gave it a try.  The stamp set is "Fall Friends" from My Favorite Things and the sentiment I used was from "Winter Skies" by Lawn Fawn.  I coloured this cute little girl with copics.  I cut her out using two stitched rectangles one inside of the other.  I pop dotted the frame and the sentiment .  I enjoyed making this card and will do more autumn themes.

True Love

I love watching fireworks and I especially love watching them with my "Love of my Life".  I have never stamped fireworks so I thought I would give it a try.  Not quite as easy as other stamping.  After a few tries, I was finally happy with them.  The "Fireworks" stamp set is from My Favorite Things.  The polar bears are from the stamp set "Winter Skies" from Lawn Fawn.  I coloured the polar bears using copics.  I fussy cut them and popped them up using pop dots.  The back ground is inked using a freelance curve.  I added the heart to show the love the polar bears have for each other.

Glad you dropped by to have a peek at my card.

Christmas Elf

I love Christmas and I love my Bugaboo stamps that I own.  I could always use a few more though.  I used Bugaboo "Elf Sitter" stamp set for the image and the sentiment.  I coloured my little guy using copics.  I added Wink of Stella to the jingle bells to add some sparkle.  I then popped up the elf panel with pop dots.

Thanks for having a look at my card.

All Hallows' Eve

Time for Ghouls, Skeletons and Witches to roam.  With Halloween just around the corner, I thought I would do a card for my three year old Grandson.  He is into learning the different colours, so what better way to learn the colours of the rainbow than with this card.  I used Impression Obsession "Halloween Cutout Circles" and backed them with rainbow colours.  I added pop dots to make them stand out.  The background is an embossing folder from Tim Holtz which I inked up first.

Bear Hugs

I absolutely love polar bears and when I saw this stamp, I just had to use it.  I love the simplicity of this card.  I do not know who makes the stamp set.  It contains eight beautiful polar bears and they are all adorable.  I coloured the bears with copic markers.  The night sky was also done with copic markers.  I am pleased how the sky turned out.  I added small gel pen dots for the stars in the sky.  Sentiment is from Jane's Doodles "Bear Hugs" stamp set.

Thanks for joining me on my blog.

Chin Up!

Time for me to try a different medium for my cards; coloured pencil crayons and Gamsol.  I tried colouring with pencil crayons once before and I didn't like it all.  Decided to give it another try with the help of another card maker.  I enjoyed it this time.  There is definitely room for improvement.  Today I made this giraffe to cheer up a friend.  The "Baby Giraffe" stamp set is from Impression Obsession.  I coloured the background using a copic marker.

Thanks for stopping by to have a look.
