MAY YOU DAYS BE MERRY & BRIGHT (1)

I wanted to create a Christmas card with the Critters in the Arctic stamp set from Lawn Fawn, my most used set from last holiday season.

I trimmed an aqua color rectangle to function as my card panel and sky of the scene. I die cut a mountain border, with the Stitched Mountain Borders from Lawn Fawn. I also die cut hills and water with the Stitched Hillside Borders, from white and blue cardstock and also one from vellum.

I stamped the walrus, ice, bunny, narwhal and owl and colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Walrus: E25 – E29/ E41 – E43
Owl: W0 – W2/ W5 – W7
Bunny: C0 – C2 – C5/ BG23 – BG49
Narwhal: W2 – W5 – W7
Santa hat: R14 – R17

I fussy cut all the images and starting to assemble the card. I adhered the critters and the front hill with foam tape, the rest flat. I added glitter to the satna hat and the bunny’s scarf with the Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle Pen. I added the panel to a dark blue cardbase and stamped the sentiment, from the Merry Messages stamp set.

A fun scene with cute animals.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS (1)

I wanted to do something different, something simple and clean. I used the Gifts of Love stamp set from Simon Says Stamp.

I started by die cutting a rectangle from white cardstock, with the Wonky Stitched Rectangle STAX from My Favorite Things. I then took the big tree stamp and stamped it three times onto the panel. I first inked the stamp up with Freshly Cut Grass Ink and then added a little Noble Fir Ink to the top, to give it an ombre look. The tree trunk I stamped in Doe Ink and the star on top is Sunflower Ink. For the bottom portion of the card, I took the little dots stamp and repeatedly stamped it with Manatee Ink. All ink s I used are from Lawn Fawn.

I stamped the beautiful sentiment with Versamark Ink and heat embossed it with Silver Embossing Powder from Ranger. I adhered the panel to a piece of Perfectly Plaid Christmas paper from Lawn Fawn, with foam tape. I also added some glitter to the stars, with the Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle Pen. I added the panel to a green cardbase and done is my card.

Really simple and easy to make, especially when you’re mass producing. Not my favorite card, but I’m still happy with it.

SENDING WARM WISHES FOR A HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON (1)

I saw Chari Moss, from the Lawn Fawn design team, make this card with the Home for the Holidays stamp set. She made a spinner card, mine isn’t, but I just loved the design.

I started by stamping all the images. I stamped the car and the presents, both twice. The trees I stamped in Freshly Cut Grass Ink and Noble Fir Ink from Lawn Fawn. The larger tree is from the Toboggan Together stamp set. I colored the images with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Top car: R46 – R59
Bottom car: B05 – BV05
Windows: C0
Tires: W7/ C2
Exhaust: C2
Light: Y08
Presents: G14 – G07/ R14 – R46/ Y17 – Y38

I fussy cut all the images and went over to my scene. I s die cut a circle, with the Double Stitched Circle STAX from My Favorite Things, from some white cardstock. I also die cut a scalloped circle with the Scalloped Circle Stackables from Lawn Fawn, using one of the pattern papers from the Perfectly Plaid Christmas paper collection. I trimmed another piece of Perfectly Plaid Christmas paper to use as the base. I added all the elements onto that base with foam tape.

I took some blue cardstock and stamped the sentiment from Merry Messages in Versamark ink. I heat embossed it with Opaque Bright White Embossing Powder from Wow. I cut it to a banner and cut the ends into a flag banner. I added the sentiment strip to the card, flat.

I adhered the base to a green cardbase. I rounded off the bottom corners with the We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper. I also added some glitter to the two cars with the Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle Pen.

Please check out the card I based this design on Chari Moss' Blog

YETI IT'S COLD OUTSIDE (1)

I used the Yeti, Set, Go stamp set from Lawn Fawn for this night sky Christmas themed card.

I started on the background, so it could properly dry. I first used my blending tool and some Distress Inks to create a night sky. I used Salty Ocean, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot. I wanted to add stars to the sky. I took the Starry Sky stencil from My Favorite Things. I used Texture Paste from Ranger and mixed it with Mustard Seed Distress Ink to give the paste a yellow color. I applied the texture paste onto the sky with a pallet knife. When it was evenly spread, I removed the stencil and set the background aside to dry.

I die cut two snow hills from white cardstock, with the Stitched Hillside Borders from Lawn Fawn. I stamped the images. I used the Yeti and the earmuffs. I also used the pine trees from Toboggan Together and stamped them in Pine Needles Ink and Freshly Cut Grass Ink from Lawn Fawn. The images I colored with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Yeti: C0 – C2 – C5/ E00 – E21/ W7/ R59
Earmuffs: R29 – R59

I die cut the images with my Cuttlebug. I stamped the sentiment in Fish Tank Ink from Lawn Fawn. I assembled the scene. I adhered the front hill, the top of the yeti and the earmuffs with foam tape. The rest flat. I thought it was still missing something, so I stamped some footsteps in the snow, in Manatee Ink from Lawn Fawn. The stamp is from Joy to the Woods from Lawn Fawn.

I adhered the scene to a deep red cardbase. And done it is!

WISHING YOU LOTS OF SMILES THIS HOLIDAY SEASON (1)

This is the first time using the Snow Much Fun stamp set from Avery Elle. But I had a clear idea from the get go.

I started by stamping the images. I stamped the bear and bunny on the sled, the hedgehog and the mouse. I colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Bear: E25 – E29/ E41 – E43
Ski goggles: BG000 – BG01
Scarf: R29 – R59
Bunny: C0 – C2
Scarf: Bg000 – BG01
Sled: W5 – W7
Hedgehog: E11 – E21/ E25 – E29
Hat + candy: R29 – R59
Mouse: W0 – W2
Sweater: BG000 – BG01

I fussy cut the images and went over to the scene. I die cut two snow hills from white cardstock, using the Stitched Hillside Borders. I used one of the dies on an angle, so it looks like a snow mountain hill for the sled to slide down on. For the background I used Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink. I started on the bottom and let it fade out to white towards the top.

I stamped the sentiment, from Merry Messages by Lawn Fawn, on the bottom hill. I stamped it in Cranberry Ink from Lawn Fawn. I assembled the card. I adhered the front hill, the sled ad the top of the hedgehog with foam tape. The rest flat.

I added Glossy Accents to the goggles, so they look like actual goggles. I also rounded off the two top corners with the We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper.

SENDING JOY FOR THE HOLIDAYS (1)

I think this is going to be my most used stamp set this Christmas season. The Toboggan Together stamp set from Lawn Fawn is just too cute.

I started by stamping all the images. I stamped the two reindeer, the penguins, the stack of snowballs, the individual snowball, the Santa hat and the toboggan. The string to pull the toboggan was stamped in Doe Ink from Lawn Fawn. I colored all the images with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Reindeer: E25 – E29/ E41 – E43
Penguins: W5 – W7/ C0/ Y38 – YR68
Santa hat: R46 – R59
Snowballs: C0
Toboggan: V06 – V09

I die cut the images with my Cuttlebug. I went over to the scene. I die cut two snowy hills from white cardstock, with the Stitched Hillside Borders. For the background I die cut some mountains with the Stitched Mountain Borders, from grey cardstock. The snow caps I die cut from white cardstock.

For the sky I wanted a non-traditional color. I used Wilted Violet and a little bit of Black Soot Distress Ink. I blended it onto watercolor cardstock with an ink blending tool.

For the sentiment, I stamped a greeting from the Merry Messages stamp set from Lawn Fawn in Versamark Ink. I heat embossed it with Opaque Bright White Embossing Powder from Wow.

I adhered all the images to the card. The front snow hill, the penguins, snowball and tops of the reindeer were adhered with foam tape. The rest flat. I stamped the little movement image next to the snowball, so it looks like it’s thrown through the air. I also added glitter to the Santa hat, with the Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle Pen. I added the panel to a purple cardbase.
