'Tis the Season

Another Christmas Card.  I used the digital stamp "JJ Xmas Cheer - Tis the Season" from Bugaboo.  I coloured the image using Copics.  The star is Nuvo Crystal Drops.  The ornaments on her dress have Glossy Accents on top.  I die cut circles from the NOEL paper and the red paper.  The sentiment tab is also die cut.  The "Cheers" sentiment was sketched using my Silhouette Cameo.  I used Tim Holtz Aged Mahogany Distress Ink around the plaid paper.  While I was doing this card I kept Bugaboo's October B-I-N-G-O Challenge in mind which were distress, players choice (Nuvo drops & Glossy Accents) and a die.

DEAR SANTA

Christmas is coming up fast and it is time to get some of my Christmas Cards done.  With this card I used "Stella Dear Santa" Stamp Set from Bugaboo.  I stamped it twice and fussy cut Stella out.  I used copics to colour the design.  I cut out the image using a postage stamp die.  I replaced the stamped heart with a heart brad.  I put gems for Stella's earrings and popped her up.  I also but the holly using my Silhouette cameo.  My guide for this card is Bugaboo's BINGO - 3 layers, players choice and gem.  

Thanks for stopping by to have a peek.

Never Grow Up

I made this card for a dear friend of mine (father) who needs to lighten up a tad.  I used three stamp sets from Art Impressions, "Lifetime, Boy & Girl Mini (sentiment) and WC Dog".  I reversed stamped the dog as I wanted him to face the other direction.  I did that by stamping him on a piece of acetate and then putting the acetate face down on my card front and rubbing the image.  It didn't come out quite as clear as I wanted, but was fine as it was a dog and dogs are shaggy.  The window die is also from Art Impressions.  The "Starry Night Sky" is a die from Sue Wilson.  I designed the curtains on my Silhouette Cameo.  I put a "Mini Action Wobble" under my Birthday Boy to allow him to dance up a storm.  I coloured the dog and Birthday Boy using my copics.  I sketched the floor and then applied Tim Holtz Distress Ink Antique Linen.  The walls were coloured with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Cracked Pistachio.  I embossed the sentiment and added white and black Nuvo Crystal Drops.

Note for Dies R Us:  Die used was Sue Wilson's "Starry Night Sky".

Coffee

This says it all for a coffee drinker like myself.  This card was done with one stamp set, Newton's Nook "Newton Loves Coffee".  I coloured the cat and coffee cup using copics.  I stamped the coffee beans with Tim Holtz distress ink walnut stain.  I then outlined them with a very fine liner.  I added black Nuvo Crystal Drops for the nose.

Thanks for taking a peek.
