Christmas calories don't count

A little holiday treat for Santa... looks like Santa fell in the cookie jar. I used the @Streamside_studios My Favorite Cupcake Christmas toppers clear stamp set for Santa and the cookies. I thought Yen's, @sistersnstamps, recent holly table runner was so cute, so I created a table cloth with the smaller holly branch from the set. I also used the Christmas mice clear stamp set to complete the scene. #streamsidestudios My Favorite Cupcake Christmas toppers and Christmas mice #concordand9th Holiday cheers tag #heroarts Holiday labels #lawnfawn How you bean? #tsukineko Memento ink #inkadinkado Masking paper #distressoxide Tattered rose and Lumberjack plaid #copic #copicliner #versamark #wowembossingpowder #card #cardmaking #cardmakingofinstagram #cardmakerofinstagram #cardmakersofinstagram #handmadecards #diycards #onelayercard #christmas #christmascard #sssigchallenge

Merry

Sharing a new project for @pearblossompress today! I used the EZ-light to light up the three pictures. The initial intent was to light up the cute reindeers's noses but I had issues being precise and also thought that the lights wouldn't be that noticeable in the end, so I finally decided to let the light spread more widely and I actually like the cozy feel of the lights through the sepia tones The cute selfies pictures are from the new @mftstamps Xmas selfies illustrated by @jenoblade_ For the sentiments on each polaroid, I used an old set from @mamaelephant, called Merry greetings. The big Merry sentiment at the top is from @simonsaysstamp, from the set Holiday sparkle greetings, and the beautiful mistletoe in the background is from a new @picketfencestudios set called Mistletoe kisses   #pearblossompress Stamp and Die Bundle, World’s Best Foam Tape – Double Thick #ezlights #ezlight #mftstamps Xmas selfies #mftdienamics Polaroid shaker frame #mamaelephant Merry greetings #sim

Eat, drink and be merry

So this card is actually from some leftovers of the card I posted last Sunday. This is where diecutting is always a struggle to me, compared to one layer cards. I'm either always short of elements to feature on the card or have created way too many. In this case, I had just created so many items that I could create a second card. So here comes this bonus pudding card, featuring again some Mama Elephant and The Greetery goodies. #thegreetery Arches die set, Mistletoe Arches stencil and Christmas pudding die set #mamaelephant Little gingerbread agenda #whimsystamps Tartan plaid background #tsukineko Memento ink #ranger #distressoxide Speckled egg, Lumberjack plaid, Saltwater taffy, Aged mahogany, Twisted citron, Mowed lawn and Rustic wilderness #diestressink Lumberjack plaid #nuvodrops White blizzard #3DFoam #copicwhiteopaque #card #cardmaking #cardmakingofinstagram #cardmakerofinstagram #cardmakersofinstagram #handmadecards #diycards #diecutting #christmas #christmascard #sssigchall

Merry Christmas

The cute bear from the new @alexsyberiadesigns Collecting memories set is great for Christmas cards too! The set has tiny gifts that you can tuck in the wagon. I also reused a few images from past releases, gifts and a christmas hat from the Falala friends set and candy canes from the Smile and wave set . For the sentiment, I used the Christmas sentiments set. To create the background, I first die cut a circle from masking paper and adhered it on my card front, to create a reservation for the moon. I then blended Tumbled glass Distress oxide around the moon, Blueprint sketch, Chipped sapphire and Back soot. I then splattered white gouache with a little water all over the panel. I removed the mooon mask and watercolored the bottom left part with Distress inks Squeezed lemonade, Pumice stone and Iced spruce. Next, I stamped the images on white cardstock, colored them with Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I then assembled the card together with liquid adhesive

Pawsome birthday

Sharing a birthday card for a dear colleague. She is a dog person and since I am definitely the cat type, I don't actually have many dog sets. But I had the Be a dog die from @waffleflowercrafts, so I thought it would be fun to do something with it. The dog is holding a birthday card much alike the card and there is also another element of surprise inside the card, with a paw shaker from @newtonsnook. #waffleflowercrafts Be a dog die set, Be accesories die set, Birthday kitty stamp set #mftstamps Mini messages and more #newtonsnook Pawprint shaker and Pawpring stencil #joycraft Animal print stencil #clearlybesotted Back to front lineup #sweetnsassy Joyful day #timeforteadesigns Queen for the day #heffydoodle Paws of love stencil  #tsukineko Memento ink #inkadinkado Masking paper #ranger #distressoxide Tattered rose, Tea-dye, Vintage photo and Kitsch flamingo #zigmarkers #copic #copicliner #3DFoam #card #cardmaking #cardmakingofinstagram #cardmakerofinstagram #cardmakersofinstagram

Christmas ornament

I won't lie to you; I did not envision this card straight away. I had already created the pumpkin and apple shape cards a few days before. And while I was creating a card involving some winter foliage, I came across the Jingle bell joy die set from @alexsyberiadesigns and it occurred to me that the smaller bell would make the perfect hip knob for a Christmas ornament! To create this easel card, I started by die cutting a circle with the Timeless blooms celebration die and blended Distress oxides Candied apple, Lumberjack plaid and Black soot. I then die cut the cardbase with the Timeless blooms celebration circle die : I took a piece of cardstock twice the size of the die and scored in the middle. Once folded, I taped the die, making it stick out of the fold, so that it doesn't get cut. I also die cut one more circle and the half circle from the Timeless blooms celebration die set , to glue at the back of the card base and the front panel top respectively. I also die cut the sm

You're a deer

Sharing my first DT card for @pearblossompress today! I used the EZ-light to light up 3 of the Christmas lights. Swipe to see the lights setup, behind the scenes, also featuring the Pear Blossom Press foam tape. It is extra thick to match the switch and battery thickness. It is also repositionable which makes it really easy to adhere the front panel over the lights #pearblossompress #ezlights #ezlight #concordand9th Christmas cloche die and stamp #photoplay You're a deer #poppystamps Cabin snowglobe popup easel card (pine trees) #heffydoodle Interactively yours #tsukineko Memento ink #ranger #distressoxide Scattered straw, Frayed burlap, Old paper, Mowed lawn, Rustic wilderness, Candied apple, Lumberjack plaid, Black soot, Speckled egg, Iced spruce #copic #3DFoam   #card #cardmaking #cardmakingofinstagram #cardmakerofinstagram #cardmakersofinstagram #handmadecards #diycards #diecutting #interactivecard #lightupcard #lightupcards #christmas #christmascard #sssigchallenge
