Ho Ho Ho

Good Morning! 

Just a couple of the very last of my Christmas cards, which I made back in October.

I am entering my Santa card in the Challenge at Simon Says Wednesday, Make It Sparkle.

 

I used this fabulous Skiing Santa, yes you read that right.....Skiing Santa, from the Power Poppy Action Santa stamp set.  Isn't he just fantastic???  After coloring him with Copic Markers and glittering up all his fur trim I fussy cut him out. 

 

Using the Jack Frost paper pack from American Crafts I created my mountainous terrain, separating the tree line form the snowy mountains with a thin blue ribbon.  I added one of those 'action wobblers' to the back of Santa and placed him in mid air!  Stamped my sentiment and snowflakes.  Added a bit more sparkle using a Wink Of Stella Clear Pen.

 

 

Here you can see the dimension the 'action wobbler' gives.

 

 



And now you can really see this Action Santa IN action!  Such a cool photo!

 

 

 

Last Christmas card to share with you, and it's a Shaker!

 

 

This card uses the beautiful Power Poppy stamp set, Holly Golightly!  It's a Shaker Tag ON a Tag ON a card.....my favorite!  Images colored with Copic Markers.  I accented my holly berries with a white marker.



I stamped the tag image and then carefully die cut out the center portion.  My shaker bits are glitter and sequins. Then I stamped the holly all over my MFT Stitched Tradition Tags die cut and colored them.  Adding an eyelet and some pretty Christmas Ribbon.  I also added a Memory Box Twilight Snowflake die cut to mimic my Designer Paper background. 

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are looking forward to 2017 and all it brings.  I don't know about you but I love turning the page of a calendar, let alone a year!

Thanks for swishing by......

Spellbinders; Captivating Squares and Classic Ovals dies and Sizzix Holiday Words Script.  I also fussy cut out a few of the images.  Sakura Yellow and Clear Glitter Pens and Red Ribbons for accents.

Holly Jolly Christmas

Helloooooo Saturday!

Back again on the Dies R Us Blog to share another Holiday card with you, tis the season and all!

 

 

I used this gorgeous Holly die from Cheery Lynn, Holly Leaf.  Big and bold and beautiful!  I cut this die twice, once in chip board and then in colored card stock.  In this manner it adds a bit of depth and firmness.  I then mounted it on a Spellbinders Classic and Looped Circle die cut.

 

 

Die-Namics Open Simply Scallop Border die to split the card front. Sentiment stamped in Always Artichoke ink and Holly images stamped in Versa Mark ink from the Power Poppy Holly Golightly set, as is the sentiment.  White Marker for berry accents.  Studio Calico Designer Paper, Wonderland and Gingham Ribbon to complete my card.

Pretty Poinsettias

Good Monday Morning!

Back again on the Dies R Us Blog to share a Holiday card with you!

 

 

This card uses the gorgeous Plush Poinsettia Corner die by Memory Box.  It's quite a fabulous large die measuring approx. 3.5 x 3.5 inches.  I love the inlaid look and the embossed detail on the leaves.

 

 

 

I stamped and colored the holly image from Power Poppy, Holly Golightly to offset the Plush Poinsettia Corner.  Images colored with Copic Markers.  I also added accents to the holly berries using a white marker.  Sentiment stamped in Black Licorice ink.  A few Adhesive Pearls added to the Poinsettia centers.  This card will make for easy mailing.

 

 

Here's what I used:

Plush Poinsettia Corner
