James Bear Deck the Halls

Good Morning!  I've finished another "late" Christmas card today...I'm still making them for next Christmas!  This one is using the James Bear Deck the Halls stamp from Lili of the Valley, you can find them HERE.  The card shape is made using a large die from Go Kreate which you can find HERE.  I love their dies because they make die sets large enough for a nice 6x6 card, but you do need to have a Grand Calibur by Spellbinders to cut them out because the dies are to large for the Cuttlebug.

I am still using the Homemade Holidays 6x6 paper pack...I have enough paper left for one more card I think!!!  Amazingly I was able to make 5 different cards with this one 6x6 paper pack.  I LOVE these paper packs because they are already color coordinated for me and some, like this one, have little card tags included.  So much faster than trying to decide on my own papers one by one...

Here is my card for today...enjoy...

Christmas Stocking Card

Good Evening to you all!

I've been so busy decorating, shopping, wrapping gifts, planning Christmas meals, playing Dragon Vale (oh I know that doesn't have anything to do with Christmas but it is so much fun to play) and browsing through Pinterest for Christmas ideas, that I haven't had much time for crafting...

I had originally planned on making Christmas Cards for family and friends this year too, but well... I've run out of time so maybe next year hahaha.  I did however find some time today to finish a little Christmas Stocking Card that I will save for next year.  I was inspired by a card my mother sent us.  It had the cutest Christmas stocking on the front of it.  I had bought some cut out stockings, which were just the right size; at our local Michael's Craft Store awhile back so I used one as a stencil for cutting out my card.  I cut a heal and toe piece and a cuff for the top of the stocking.  I also cut out a bunch of snowflakes and covered them with Star Dust Stickles to make them shine.  I layered large and small snowflakes together, added a pearl to the middle and attached them to the stocking cuff.  The cuff paper already had snowflakes on it so I just added the ones I made onto those.  The Joy tag is a pre-printed tag from the 6x6 paper pack I used.  I don't know if you can tell or not, but I added Glossy Accents to the letters to make them stand out.  I haven't put anything on the inside of my card yet, I'll probably wait to do that until I know who I will be giving it to.

Soooooo here it is...enjoy!

Candy Cane

Good Morning Everyone!

Today I finished my first Christmas card of the season...yeah!!!   I Love Christmas!!!

I used a new rubber stamp made by Krista Smith of Saturated Canary.  Her images are my one of my favorites to color with my Copic Markers.  I own over 60 digital images by her now...WOW!  This image "Candy Cane" is only available as a rubber stamp but I really loved it so I purchased it from the "7 Kids College Fund" web site which can be found HERE.  Isn't she a cutie?

Here it is all colored up and put together!!!  Enjoy...
