LET'S CHILL (1)

I used the Swanky Snow Dudes stamp set from Paper Smooches, to create this gathering of snow men.

I created masks for all the snow men, so it was easier for me to overlap them. I stamped all the snow men several times, creating a large group of them.

I added some of the little elements to the snow men, to make them look a little different from each other. Because there are only four images. I used the two pipe images, the mustache, the two smiling mouths and the open mouth.

I used only three color combinations of Copic Markers for the entire card. Here are the colors I used:
YG41 - G02/ B12 - B14/ E22 - R35/ W5/ YR04

I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Guava cardstock and adhered it to the card with foam tape. I added the panel onto a Guava cardbase.

Not a very difficult card to make, but a bit time consuming due to all the masking. Thanks goodness they're snow men, else the coloring would have taking hours too!

SEASON'S GREETINGS (3)

For this Christmas card, I used the Swanky Snow Dudes stamp set from Paper Smooches.

Snow men: C0 – C2
Accessories + pole: Y17 – YR04/ R46 – R59/ G05 – G28/ W0/ W7

SEASON'S GREETINGS (1)

I got this Swanky Snow Dudes stamp set from Paper Smooches second hand from a retired paper crafter. I could finally create a Christmas card with these cool snowmen.

I stamped all four snowmen and colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Snowmen: C0 – C2 – Blender
Accessories: BG93 – BG95/ R14 – R46
Carrot nose: YR16
Buttons: C5
BirdL E00 – E11

I fussy cut all the images and went over to my scene. I cut a rectangle from some light blue cardstock. This is going to be my base and the sky of the scene. I die cut three hills, with the Stitched Hillside Borders from Lawn Fawn, from white cardstock. This way I can create some snowy hills for the snowmen to stand on.

I adhered the top hill flat and the bottom two hills with foam tape. I adhered the snowmen and the bird, some flat some with foam tape, some with both. I stamped the sentiment with Lobster Ink from Lawn Fawn. I added the panel to a white cardbase and done is another Christmas card.

CRAFTY HAUL (5)

For the months of July and AUgust I purchased a lot of new craft supplies. Some second hand, some on sale and some I just couldn't resist buying.

The Swanky Snow Dudes stamp set from Paper Smooches I bough second hand. I just love all the different snowmen and the cute sentiments. The fonts of those sentiments are also very playful. Can't wait to create some cool Christmas cards with these stamps.

This Monster Mash stamp set from Lawn Fawn is a smaller set I wanted for a while. I finally got back in stock and I didn;t hesitate one second. It's so cute for birthday cards, but also fun to create Halloween themed cards.

I just love the fall and it's not that far away anymore. So the Harvest Mouse stamp set from My Favorite Things had to be added to my collection. Such sweet images and sentiments. My favorite is the one with the basket of apples over his head. Maybe I can spread my love for the fall season with this set.

Also perfect for Halloween is the Booyah stamp set from Lawn Fawn. You can create your own ghosts with many different costumes. I just love a set like this, with so many options. I also want to create some treat backs with these stamps.

I got four new mini Distress Inks: Cracked Pistachio, Mermaid Lagoon, Abandoned Coral and Fossilized Amber. I especially love Crached Pistachio, which is now probably my favorite Distress Ink color.

From Avery Elle I got the Hello Chum stamp set. I bought it to create a card for my brother, who is a shark fan and swam with sharks in South Africa. I especially love the sentiment saying "you're gonna need a bigger....cake". Movie reference!

The Merry Script die from Mama Elephant I also bought second hand. It's a beauriful intricate die which I will use on my Christmas cards. I can add a stamped Christmas to it and I already know it will look fantastic.

These elves from the Santa's Elves stamp set from My Favorite Things have been on my wishlist for so long. They finally got back in stock and there was only one set left. I got lucky! These are going to look so cute on my Christmas cards.

Another stamp set I got second hand is the Holiday Hugs mini stamp set from WPlus9. It's my first stamp from this company and I saw many create card tutorials on YouTube using this stamp. I love this image and I just couldn't resist to buy it.

Happy crafting!!!
