Family Portrait Christmas Card

Hello! Today I created my family portrait Christmas card using stamps from the November 2019 Hedgehog Hollow Kit. These stamps include a bunch of line art drawings of people, so it is really fun to create a family with them! There is even enough characters that I’ll bet you could have an entire family reunion!

I started out by building up my family on the Misti stamping tool. I found that I could fit them all close enough together that I was able to stamp them ALL at once! A big time saver!

After I stamped them using amalgam ink (my favorite for Copic coloring), I began inking around them using makeup brushes for a soft look. I started building up the color slowly with a soft touch, then kept adding to it until I got the look I wanted.

Then I colored us all up with Copics!

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

Isn’t this such a fun set to build a family portrait Christmas card?! I had so much fun.

But my sister, who is a professional photographer, tells me it’s no longer cool to be all matchy-matchy in family photos. That it should be more natural looking. Lol.

So will you create a cooler family than mine? I’d love to see your creations!

I hope you enjoyed a look at my Christmas cards of the family photo this year! Lol. I’ll be back with more inspiration soon.

Snowflake Cover Dies

Hello there! Today I am showcasing the new Altenew Snowflake Cover Dies. I love these dies on their own, but when you layer them together: WOW! These make it easy to make a professional looking card!

This sentiment is a new holiday set from Scrapbook.com and I love all the fonts and sentiments for this time of year.

I layered up those cover dies (there are two of them and they make this beautiful snowflake design when layered!) and then adhered them to red glitter card. I added the sentiment that I stamped in Grass Skirt green ink and then attached some holly bundles.

I have a VERY quick video to show you how these cover dies work and how fast this card comes together. Watch it below or on YouTube:

These are some new favorites and I will have more ideas and examples for you coming up soon!

Pink & Lime Green Snowman

Hello! I’m here with a non-traditional Christmas card….well, at least the colors are a little different than usual! I chose pink and lime green (instead of the traditional red and green) for this card today.

I love the buffalo plaid background…so easy to do with a stencil! I’ve linked the one I used below. Here I used a few different pink inks to get that ombre look, with the darkest pink in the lower right corner.

For the sentiment, I used VersaFine Onyx black ink and clear heat embossed over it so I wouldn’t smear the image. (One of my favorite tricks when I use this ink!)

Snowman with gifts!

I colored up the images in pinks and lime green alcohol markers and fussy cut them out. Then I cut the scalloped frame with a lime green glitter paper. (I love a good glitter paper!)

To attach all the images and the frame, I used my favorite liquid adhesive (Nuvo Deluxe) and then popped up the snowman with foam tape for more dimension.

Easy and fun card. I really love how the background looks with these images!

Gingerbread Hot Chocolate

Did you know you can add gingerbread flavoring to your Hot Chocolate at Starbucks? I saw this the other day and I thought…well, that sounds interesting! I haven’t tried it yet, but these cards today are inspired by that idea.

Do you prefer whipped cream in your hot chocolate?

Or do you prefer marshmallows?

I used products from the November Hedgehog Hollow box to make these cards. But I cut the coffee cups from my Silhouette! The cute background paper is from the Limited Edition Christmas Box.
