Charlie's Christmas

It is the last day of November and the countdown to Christmas is officially on! 

My card today features Charlie, one of my fav animals from the new Fall/Winter release. This stamp is called "Charlie's Moo-ry Christmas" and I have paired it with the "Moo-rry Christmas" sentiment. 

This stamp of Charlie makes me smile - although I feel like I have interrupted him from something! You know - Oh hello! What are you doing here?! Lol

I coloured the stamp with alcohol markers and limped my badly worn out cuticle scissors around the image to fussy cut it. A fence cut out with my Cricut and some snow banks helped my put together my scene. Glitter snow was added to the snow banks to add some texture. A few snowflakes and some gumdrops finish off my card.

Winter Wonderland!

Karen Letchworth, OCS' Saturday Guest Designer is back with another adorable card, using the adorable stamp called Downhill Snowy from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.

Hello, friends!  Today I'm posting again as part of a Guest Design spot for One Crazy Stamper to promote High Hopes Stamps and the other wonderful products they carry.  For today's card, I have used a sweet High Hopes Stamp called Downhill Snowy.  Isn't he cute?

I stamped him in black and embossed him.  Then, I stamped him again to layer the colored parts of his body, such as his hat, jacket, etc.  For the downhill slope, I used some Diamond Stickles to help make it look more like real snow.  I water colored the background of the image several times to give it the look of cold, blowing Winter winds.

I added a small chipboard sentiment at the top left, and a big seam binding bow at the lower left that has a coordinating green button in its center that's tied with a piece of Icicle Metallic Baker's Twine.  I really wanted to make this sweet stamp the focal point of the card while also giving it some sweet embellishing.  The Downhill Snowy remains the real star of this card.

I hope that you will stop by the One Crazy Stamper Blog for more great inspiration, and to check out their fun challenge.  There are lots of great High Hopes Stamps to see, as well as all sorts of other great products.  Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers -- High Hopes Stamps

 Happy Friday!

It's another week closer to Christmas and another Christmas card ready for the mail!

This festive scene was created with ...

High Hopes Jingle Jangle found here!

 The image is coloured with Copic Markers, I used a white sharpie marker to create the background snow.

Liquid applique, and fine white glitter was also used to help with this snowy scene. 

 I love the bells on this sweet image.  I used glossy accents to give them a nice shine :)

Thanks for peeking, have a crafty weekend!

Home For Christmas

It is the last week of November which means Christmas is fast approaching. I won't give you the weeks away count - if I do I will go into panic mode lol.

 I am in full out Christmas card making mode - especially because I have my first family Christmas dinner in a week and I will need 5 cards! Yikes!

The layout is based loosely on this month's challenge sketch. I have used a number of stamps from High Hopes Stamps: "Penguin Family Igloo" and the "All Hearts" sentiment from the new Fall/Winter release as well as a stamp called "Winter Wonderland Background".

I coloured the stamp with alcohol markers and then you got it - pulled out my cuticle scissors and fussy cut this cute penguin family. There are four kids in my family and believe me - every one of these penguins is "one of us"! 

After cutting my patterned paper pieces, I used the top of the Winter Wonderland Background stamp to create the border on some of the edges with white embossing powder. Stickles were added to the hats on the hearts on the sentiment for a little bling. Some ribbon from my stash and white gumdrops finish off the card.
