Singing We Wish You A Merry Christmas Card

 

Vicky is here today with a cute Christmas card.

I think these girls are so cute and perfect for wishing you a Merry Christmas. 

The first one I stamped was Snow Girl Waving, and I colored her with a red jacket.

Then I stamped Snow Girl, and I colored her in purple.

I masked the edges of both girls and then

I stamped Snow Girl Sitting, and she is in pink.

The Street Light came next, and the saying, We Wish You.

I drew the sidewalk, used applique and puffed it up, and added glitter.

This card would be cute with just one of the girls.

Stamps Used:

Snow Girl Waving

So happy you stopped by! Vicky

Magic and Bright Minion Christmas Card

Hello crafty friends! Ericka here and I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Today I have a fun Christmas card I made using Bob the Minion with and fun Santa Hat. 

 

I started by stamping Bob and masking the top to add the Santa's Hat stamp. I colored it all up with some watercolor markers and then added the Snowflakes and heat-embossed the with a Turquoise powder for some fun sparkle. I then added some light shading around the card with Distress Oxide ink Salvage Patina and for some added fun, I used Liquitex Glass Beads as snow on the bottom of my card.

I then decided I wanted to make Bob a little more fun and stamped him and the hat on a separate piece of paper. After coloring them up, I added them to my card using an action wobble so he became more interactive.

I finished my card by adding the Magic and Bright sentiment and used some clear sparkle to heat emboss the image. I love this Santa Hat and can't wait to use it on some more of my minions to make fun Christmas cards. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful week!

The snowflake is a button. I took the shank off the button and used a glue dot to adhere it.

Happy Birthday Zap Card

Hello friends! Ericka here, and today I have a fun birthday card using the new Cat Sketchy stamp. I love the expression on this stamp and thought it would be perfect for a friend with a birthday this month.

I started with some distress oxide ink blending in Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, and Black Soot on Bristol smooth paper. I then lightly spritzed the paper and lifted off some of the ink. Once my background was dry, I used Carved Pumpkin distress spray and sprayed the middle of my background.

When the background was dry, I used the Cat Sketchy stamp along with the Birthday 11 sentiment and a coming soon speech bubble with the word zap and stamp and clear embossed them. I finished my card by coloring the cat's eyes and ears for a little fun.

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week!

Santa Is On His Way Christmas Card

Hello Stamper! Vicky is here today with a Santa card

How are you doing on your Christmas cards? This is an easy one.

The first thing I did was stamp the Cityscape.

Then I punched out a circle with a punch and put it where I wanted the moon to be.

The edges are sponged with light blue first, then a darker blue, and last black around the edges.

I filled in the moon using a sponge; it is not as yellow as shown on the card here.

The last thing I stamped on the front is Santa's Sleigh Sm.

I mounted the saying Enjoy The Warmth on the red card stock inside the card.

Stamps Used:

Cityscape

Santa's Sleigh Sm.

Enjoy The Warmth

Thanks for taking a look,

Vicky

Magic and Bright Winter Christmas Card

Hi Everybody! I made this card with some of the older stamps from Crackerbox Stamps. They are still fabulous and just need to see some ink every once in a while.

I used patterned paper for my background and stamped the Blowing Snowflakes Tree, and the Magic and Bright sentiment with Versamark and heat embossed both. I took a grey Copic marker and drew along the tree trunk and branches and also along the sentiment to add some dimension. I took white gems and added them to the snowflakes - for the tiny snowflakes, I used Stickles. Sponged around the edges and added a silver thread.

The stamps I used:

Blowing Snowflakes Tree

Magic and Bright

I hope you like my card. Thanks for visiting!

Happy Stamping!
