Sweet Gingerbread House

Hello! Today I have a Sweet gingerbread House in a snow globe! I just love this sweet image and I couldn’t resist coloring it up in pinks and light greens in a no-line colored look.

I used quite a bit of masking for this project…stamping one image at a time then masking off to stamp the next. I first stamped the lollipops, then masked them off. Next I stamped the gingerbread house and masked that off. Then I stamped the snowflakes.

After the scene was completely finished, I masked off the ENTIRE snow globe so I could add those starlight mints!

I love the A2 Starlight Mints stencil! I used pink and light grey ink here, but you could ink in a traditional red color OR try a light green for a wintergreen mint!

Next I heat embossed the sentiment with metallic embossing powder. I couldn’t resist adding a little deer from the What’s Up, Deer stamp set. He’s so cute!

I matted the entire panel onto some metallic silver cardstock and I love how it plays nicely with that embossing powder!

Little Deer

Hello, today I am up at the Maker Forte blog HERE with some sweet little reindeer cards!

How cute are these? There’s absolutely NO fussy cutting or masking involved! I think that’s an absolute plus when you’re working with small images like these.

Nativity Card

Hello! Today I have a sweet Nativity Scene to share using products from the Hedgehog Hollow November Kit. I love these images (they remind me of Precious Moments) and couldn’t wait to make a card with them!

I’m using masking techniques and Copic coloring in today’s card and I have a video below on how this card came together:

I love a nice, inked background and I only used TWO ink colors for this one…easy! The blending brushes make this such an easy background, too.

I colored up all the images with Copic Markers and attached them all with liquid adhesive except the Baby Jesus. I used foam tape to give him the appearance of being closer to us.

Isn’t it sweet? Thanks for stopping by today.

Sweet Christmas Girl

Hello! Today I have a card using dies only! Sometimes it’s fun to switch it up and use only dies on a card.

Isn’t she sweet?! I made her a candy-striped dress and red glittery shoes, with a holly headband! This is exactly an outfit that I dream to own…but I think I just might look a little ridiculous. Maybe one day I will be able to pull it off! Lol.

This sweet girl was colored up with inks and finger daubers! It’s so quick and easy to color up a die this way.

I have a video to show you how this all came together, watch it below or on YouTube:

That light green glitter frame is from a Spring glitter paper set, but I LOVED the lighter green for this card.

I added lots of fun finishing touches to her outfit: green stickles, white nuvo drops and leafy veins to the headband. Would you wear a candy-striped dress? How about red glitter shoes? Or a holly headband?!

I’ll be back soon with more holiday card fun!
