Santa's on his way

I found this great digi stamp, perfect to color up for my pilot son.

Still got some touch ups to do and get it on a card....but at least I've got it started.

It's a little large, almost fit the whole 5X6.5 card. Won't leave much room to embellish. ahhh...see how it goes.

Christmas Mice on a Candy Cane

I just love this little digital image. It's one of my favourites.

The card was made with the 'hinged' technique using Spellbinders Fleur Dis Lis squares die out of red cardstock.

The sentiment stamped in Festive Berries distress inks.

The red in the candy cane was embellished with Glossy Accents to make it look like a real candy cane. Really nice effect. Love that stuff.

Tim Holtz Poinsetta

This Poinsettia was punched from 2 different papers...one red cardstock the other designer paper with glittered accents.

The center embellished with green pearls.

The white background is die cut with Spellbinders Curved Borders 2, run thru the Cuttlebug with a Christmas folder and then all adhered to a red cardstock background.

The sentiment stamped with Fired Brick distress ink and heat embossed clear.

Christmas Prayers

This is a digital image colored with Copic Markers and embellished with stardust stickles around her neckline and cuffs, flowers.

The card was created with the 'hinged' technique but before removing the front cover from the die, I inked around the inside edge to create a border...Fired Brick distress ink.

Then added a few more blue embellishments.

Sentiment is stamped inside.

Merry Little Mouse

This little guy is a digital image colored with Copic markers.

Circle punched layers on cardstock to create a Moon effect, with add gem stones all around.

Adhered to designer paper with lots of glitter.

Merry stamped in Fired Brick all around.

Heartfelt - Ornament silver White

My niece is a busy girl. Busy making Rainbow Loom necklaces, bracelets and charms.

She joined me at a Bazaar this week and I wanted to incorporate her charms into a card. Instead I used it with this ornament. It can be removed and attached to a bracelet, while keeping the integrity of the ornament to use on it's own.

I found this design here.

I used the Heartfelt Creations - Raindrops and Roses die. Cut out six times and glued half sides together. Ran a ribbon down the middle before gluing the final side together.

From the Tim Holtz Poinsettia die I cut out the flower from silver glittered paper, and centered with a red gem.

A silver , wire rimmed bow finishes it off.
