A Pink Christmas

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a card I've made using stamps from the now closed MFP Stamp Shop. 

I started out by stamping the tree branches from Create With Pine Boughs in memento black and then coloring using both prismacolor and copic markers.  Once that was done, I stamped the lights and ornaments on to scrap white card stock in memento black, colored, and cut out.  After stippling some Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink over and around the trees, I sponged some regal rose ink around the edges of the image panel and layered.  Taking one of the snowflakes from Snowflake Mini, I stamped the card background in regal rose ink then sponged the same ink around the edges of the card. I then added jingle bell brads to the layered image panel and popped it up at a slant on my card, before adding the lights and ornaments.  Once that was done, I added a few more lights/ornaments by popping them up over ones directly on the card.  For the final touches, I stamped my saying in memento black onto scrap white card stock, punched it out and sponged some regal rose ink around the edges before adding ice stickles to the ornaments and some small felt bows.

Festival Of Lights

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a card I've made for a friend for Hanukkah using an retired PTI set called Mazel Tov and Mazel Tov Additions.

I started out by stamping the background using the dreidel stamp in Stampin Up pacific point ink before stamping the menorah in memento black onto white scrap card stock then layering using scrap pacific point and silver designer paper.  After stamping the saying, I colored my menorah candles using copic marker then highlighting it using a silver gel pen.  Once the pen was dried, I added the silver brads, cord and silver dot stickers.

Silent Night Peace Plus More NBUS

Hello everyone.  What a week with my migraines!  Ugh!  Today I'd like to share with you a Christmas card I made using a stamp I bought at least a decade ago and never ink'd.  I know, bad mommy!!!

I started out by stamping the Hero Arts Silent Night image in Tim Holtz chipped sapphire ink onto white card stock.  Then, pulling one of the many Christmas songs I scanned from an old church hymnal before my mother in law passed away.  After layering both of these, I then lightly stippled Tim Holtz faded jeans distress ink over and around the images before adding a light layer of chipped sapphire.  I then added some never before used eyelets and adhered them to a vanilla card along with some designer paper I bought at Costco about 20 years ago and also never used.  Sheesh!  For my embellishments, I added some Stampin Up eyelets, prima flowers plus ornament, and some Rubba Dub Dub midnight fibers I bought at a stamp convention over a decade ago.
