Final Card

This is my last card to post for this year's Christmas cards.  We had a late night yesterday, so didn't get it posted yesterday.

This card was a navy blue background and Die Cuts With a View blue metallic run through my Big Shot using the Lace Tree embossing folder by Cuttlebug.

I made a total of 58 cards this year. In January, I will be starting on next year's cards.  SplitCoast Stampers has a Christmas Card challenge to make your desired number of cards each month, so that there is no mad dash in November or December to complete them.  It worked quite well for me following that this year, and I will do the same next year.

Christmas Card #4

 This is the 4th in a series of cards.  I had cut out the frames to use for a different project years ago, but did not use them for that.  The stamp is from Stampin' Up and was stamped directly onto the white card stock with Versamark, then embossed with black embossing powder.  I colored the cards 4 different ways, using colored pencils.  I then glued the frame around the scene.

Tomorrow, I will post my last card.

Happy Winter

 This is the 3rd card I made for Christmas this year, actually 2 versions of the same thing.  I used a brayer on glossy card stock with a Colorbox multi pad.  The Santa stamp is by PaperArtsy and is stamped with black Staz-On ink.  The pictures don't really show the cards to their full beauty unfortunately.  This was one of my favorite cards to make.

Christmas Cards pt 2


This is the 2nd of my Christmas Cards this year.  I used a navy blue card stock, then layered on DCWV blue metallic card stock and a pre-cut scalloped rectangle which was stamped with Scrappy Snowman by Posh Impressions.  I stamped him with Versamark, embossed with silver embossing powder, then sprayed with iridescent Spray and Sparkle.

Stay tuned for the next installment.

Christmas Cards

Here is the first of 5 different Christmas Card designs I made this year. 

I took a dark green card stock and had the red pieces left over from another card I made.  I stamped the Inkadinkado Snowman with Versamark and used white embossing powder to complete him.
