Ho Ho Ho...Happy Christmas!

I want to take this time to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas.

I hope that your holiday is filled with love and laughter!

Here is another card I made using the Snowy Woods plate from Artistic Outpost:

I stamped Santa and then colored with Copics. Distressed the edges and layered onto black cardstock. Wrapped 'ho ho ho' ribbon around and attached to a white card. I stamped the sentiment using my stamp position...isn't it a gorgeous font? Finally I added a bow using the same ribbon to the top corner. Very simple card, but I really wanted the beautiful Santa image to be the focus.

May your Christmas...

I hope everyone is enjoying this holiday season.

I am always running around like a chicken with my head cut off this time of year...but now that I work full time, I am really behind. I have given it to the fact that I just can't do all that I normally did. I cut my baking WAY down and also can't make everyone I know a handmade card. I don't even have time this year to make handmade gifts like I normally do. Makes me sad, but I just don't have enough hours in the day.

I did get this new plate, Snowy Woods, from Artistic Outpost yesterday in the mail and just HAD to make something with it. I actually made two cards and will share the other one later.

This one isn't one of my favorite cards. It didn't turn out like I envisioned. I will try this again later when I have more time, I guess.

I stamped the snowflakes randomly on glossy cardstock (available at Artistic Outpost) with resist ink. Then I rubbed Adirondack Denim ink over the entire thing to make the snowflakes appear. Then I stamped over them with silver ink to add some dimension. Tied a bow along the one side with pretty snowflake ribbon.

Finally I stamped the sentiment with Denim ink and added it with dimensional tape. I have to say that the sentiments on this sheet are STUNNING. They stamp so crisp and clean.

Thanks so much for stopping by!! I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week and remember....only 9 more days til Christmas!! YIKES!

The Pink Elephant Challenge #45

It's Monday and time for another fun challenge at The Pink Elephant!

This week, we are challenging you to make something Christmassy.

I pulled out my new CCDesigns stamps AGAIN. I just love these little kids.

I decided to make a card and another ornament for my tree.

Here's the card:

Colored with Copics and I added some glitter berries to the wreath. Pretty simple card, but it seems that the only thing I have time for anymore is simple. lol

Here's the ornament:

Again, really simple. Colored with Copics and added to a wooden domino.

I had to make one more to go with the one I made a couple of weeks ago. My tree is filled with a variety of ornaments from my childhood and things my kids make. But, I can't have just one of a certain handmade ornament, I have to have a pair. Must come from the fact that I have two girls and they always each make me one. I like things in twos! lol

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great week! Be sure to drop by TPE to see what the other designers made.
