Believe

Believe is a simplistic , but beautiful card.  I love the innocence of this little angel.  The stamp set is "Temptation" from Frog's Whiskers Ink.  I water coloured her and added a moon beam shinning down on her.  The sentiment is "Good Greetings" from Stampin' Up.

'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.

Brothers

I wanted to create a card from my Grandsons to their Dad for his birthday.  I used the Bugaboo digi stamp " Big Book Boy".  I reversed one of the images for this card.  I coloured the images with Copics to match my Grandsons.  The background was printed from my Silhouette.  The sentiment is also created from the Silhouette.  I wrote "From two of your favourite boys" because their family grew by two last week (twin boys) and I didn't quite know how to include two baby boys into my card.    Happy Birthday Patrick.

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.

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.
