IS Xmas

Its getting closer to Christmas! I am super excited. This is my baby's first Christmas! So here is a card with a cute girl on it in honor of my girl.

This image is Hymn Girl Ornaments. I love her because she has option for what you want to put in her hand.

The inside sentiment and scripture are from the set Christmas Poinsetta. This is one of my favorite sets.

TSB Snowman Joy

This week on The Stamping Boutique the challenge is non traditional Christmas colors.

I was a little boring with my non traditional colors. Brown and Blue aren't traditional right?

Sledding Snowman from The Stamping Boutique is colored with Copics. I added Stickles and Glossy Accents. I followed a past Mojo Monday sketch on this one. I needed a little inspiration. My brain hasn't been working all that well lately :)

 

I used a Stampin Up punch to cut the circles.

IS Blue Christmas

I am totally digging this Bo Bunny paper. It is so bright and pretty. Perfect with my scripture stamp. Inspired Stamps will start carrying lots of Bo Bunny papers October 1 and this is one of them.

 Luke 2:11 is a scripture stamp that is part of the Vintage Christmas. I used my Spellbinders to cut it out and the lacy circle behind it. The inside sentiment is from my favorite set Christmas Poinsettia.

I used this sketch for inspiration. I added s snowflake brad instead of a flower.

IS Christmas Card

I can not believe it is almost Christmas again! Man this year has flown by and good residence. This has been the worst year for me. So much stress. I am ready for a new year that is hopefully better. 

I used two of my favorite Inspired Stamps sets on this card.  HLO Christmas Girl is the stamp I just keep going to. Something about her draws me in.  I colored her with Copics and added Stickles to the flowers. I cut a red embossed piece of red card stock then I spray glittered it to put behind my image.

 Christmas Poinsettia was used on the inside of the card and for the sentiment on the front. I cut the front one out with my Spellbinders die and added some white with a gel pen.

Inky Impressions New Release

So many cute new stamps coming out today at Inky Impressions. I used two of three of them on this card.

I love how this card came out. I love how cards come together. It is such a natural thing for me.

The girl is Caroling Lili and the Winter Lamppost is a separate image. I combined them then colored them with Copics. I added Stickles to the wings and Glossy Accents to the lamppost bulb.

This sentiment is called Merry Little Christmas. I added red ink around the images and sentiment. I add a couple drum buttons and embossed the red cardstock with snowflakes. The paper is MAMBI and so cute.

There are more great new releases to check out over at Inky Impressions. Make sure you go check them out.
