Sending Warm Winter Wishes

 Hello again, my friends. Happy Saturday. We did have some rain come through last night, but no severe weather here as predicted. Sun is shining although it is on the cool side. So sorry to hear that there were bad storms north of us. Praying for all those who were affected.

I have just one card to share today. Some are best shown alone rather than in a group. This one is strictly a CAS card - clean and simple. I did stamp it and then fussy cut it out and pasted it on the card base.

 

 

Materials used:

• Image and Sentiment - Power Poppy, Winter Wonderland
• Card stock - XPress It Blending Card; Stampin Up Whisper White
• Ink - Memento, Tuxedo Black
• Copic Markers - G24, G28; R20, R35, R46; Y15

 I am submitting this on for the following challenges:

CAS on Friday - Must be CAS, Winter

Colour Crazy Challenge -  Anything Goes with Color

More Christmas - Some Santas

 Hello again, my friends. Happy Friday. I hope you all have a fabulous weekend. The day has been warm and sunny here with a few rain showers sprinkled in. We are supposed to get bad storms rolling through the area later tonight. I hope it's not too severe. I'll be in bed sleeping by that time.

I do have a couple cards to share today that are focused on Santa Claus! Don't you just love a jolly Old Saint Nicholas!  This first one is from Stampin Up - Holly Jolly Santa as well as the sentiment. I used SU Always Artichoke for the base and the mats under the image and sentiment. Also used the Nestabilities classic oval die to cut it out. Copics used for coloring on XPress It Blending Card were E21, E23, E25; E50, E51; G28; R17, R37; Y15, Y17.

 

Holiday Hello Santa was made using the Power Poppy Under Glass, Christmas Keepsakes stamp set. The sentiment is including in the set and was punched out using the SU Window punch. Lots of Stampin Up Real Red cardstock used along with My Mind's Eye Cozy Christmas designer paper. A bit of green twine wrapped around, an added bow. All images colored with Copic markers: B0000; E23, E25; E40; E50, E51; E53; G24; N5, N9; R32, R37, R49, R59; YG63.

North Pole was made using a Lili of the Valley stamp called North Pole - Features Santa's car. Sadly I did not record everything I used in this card except that I used Stampin Up Real Red for the mat and border edge. The card base is Whisper White. I also think that the sentiment is cut from the designer paper. Tossed on a few sequins just because. Copic markers used to color the image were: B000; E50, E51, E53; G07; R01, R24, R46; N3, N6; Y18.

I think that's it for today. I have a couple more Santa cards, but they'll go on another post. Thanks for visiting.

More Christmas - Snowmen Designs

 Hello again, my friends. Happy Thursday. It's been an off and on kind of day today. The weather is warmer, but we've had a few brief rain showers. That's okay; we can use the rain. Today I have a few cards to share that all have something in common - snowmen. Posting them this way in a bunch saves from having to do too many blog posts of single cards. 

With Love at Christmas is made using the Lili of the Valley stamp North Pole stamped on Xpress It Blending Card. The image is colored with Copic markers: B0000; G21, N6, R14, R29; Y17; YR04. The sentiment is from a Papercraft magazine. I used Stampin Up Real Red and Shimmery White cardstock for the image and snowflake. The d/p is something from SU retired. I also used a snowflake die.

This Snowmen Caroler's is a digi stamp from Crafter's Boutique. The only one I have of there's. I must have gotten it from a design team some years ago. That's all I know about this one. Need to keep better track of my cards.

Fox Friend is a Stampendous stamp. I have used it before in 2020 but it's so cute. Unfortunately, it seems that I neglected to write down ingredients for the rest of these cards. Not sure why not. I guess since I've used the stamp before, I hadn't planned on blogging them. Oh well. Here they are anyway.

Country Snowman is also from Stampendous. So cute, I had to use him three times! I just change the layout designs and sentiments I used.

Majestic Moments - Some Christmas Cards

 Hello my friends. Happy Wednesday. Some time ago I had some free time so decided I better work on Christmas cards. I got quite a few finished but never posted them, so I thought I'd start doing that. Some are in batches since they include some of the same ingredients. This first batch uses a paper crafting magazine free stamp set and designer papers.

Dashing Through the Snow uses the holly stamp colored with Copic markers G21, G24, and R46. The designer paper is American Crafts - Holly Jolly,

Good Tidings card made with the same Majestic Moments stamp set and dies. Unfortunately, I did not write down all the ingredients but probably used most of the same markers for colors. The trees were cut from the designer paper and I added sequins from my stash. The sentiment is from Power Poppy Cozy Cupfuls stamp set.

Holly Jolly uses the same stamp set, Majestic Moments, that was included in the magazine along with the designer papers. Cardstock is Stampin Up Confetti Tan (retired), Chocolate Chip, Read Red, and Whisper White. I created the shield using my computer. Copic markers are B41, E21, R06, Y15, and YR02 for the lights above his head.

Merry Christmas Wood Panel uses the same Majestic Moments stamp set on white cardstock. The designer paper is from My Mind's Eye - Fiddlesticks and Authentique Thankful collections. Copic markers used E23, G21, R46, Y13.

That's it for today. I still have lots more to share another day. 

I am entering one of these cards into the following challenges:

The Holly and the Ivy - Anything Goes Christmas

Unicorn Challenge - Christmas is Coming

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Christmas

I pray for all who were affected.
