By special request

I don't seem to be able to get away from Christmas cards! This card was made for my daughter to give to a friend's daughter. My daughter saw the stamp and thought it would be perfect for the young lady!

The stamp is from the Snow Angels series by Stamependous which is probably discontinued now as I had a hard time even finding the stamps last year but I love them! For the background panel I used the Snowflakes Cuttlebug folder After stamping the image I used a Nestabilities star die to trace around a star omitting the stamping and cut it by hand. The other 2 stars are the next two biggest sizes cut with the Cuttlebug. The coloring is done with Prismacolor pencils and Turpenoid.

I did it!

I did it! I made a card that is not a Christmas card!

Hibiscus are still blooming here in San Antonio as it hasn't gotten really cold yet. The stencil I used to emboss this card can be found HERE

And more Christmas!

 For these cards I went back to dry embossing with stencils which I haven't done in a while. 

The images are all digi. If you do a Google search for Christmas holly, Christmas bells etc you will find all kinds of images. The robin was a freebie from somewhere but I don't remember where I got it. A great source for finding freebies that are offered on different blogs is Free Digital Stamps. Every day there are links to free images so you only need to follow the one blog! How great is that!

I couldn't help myself!

So I said I was tired of making Christmas cards.......I fibbed! Here are a few more that I made. I had the images printed and couldn't help myself!

The digi images for the bears can be found HERE

 You can download the candy canes image HERE

The Santa Sleigh Bells you can find HERE

Another Christmas card!

I promise this will be the last one for a bit. I am tired of making Christmas cards already as I am sure you are tired of seeing them!

I really like this almost all white card with a touch of color. The poinsettia is a digi I found by doing a search for poinsettia coloring pages. The layer behind the image is hand embossed with the Romantic Style Fantasy EE 3425 stencil found HERE ( scroll down the page to find it) The sentiment is from a clear set by Flourishes stamped on a Cuttlebug label. To get the green border around the label I traced around the outside of the dye and cut it by hand. As I didn't have any red ribbon in the right shade I used a strip of card stock.

Two More Ornament Cards

These are the last two cards I made using the digi stamp from FSS.

Digital Stamp Ornaments

As soon as I saw these digi stamps on Tracy's site, Fred She Said I knew I had to have them. I love instant gratification, click and they are on your computer! I printed a whole page and got to coloring. I have made 4cards with the stamps.

 The image is colored with Prismacolor pencils and OMS. I used a metallic gold gel pen to color the hanger and top of the ornament. The circles have glitter on them although it doesn't show up in the picture. After cutting the image out I mounted it with dimensional tape to a white panel embossed with a Cuttlebug folder.

Again I used the Cuttlebug folder on the white panel but this time I used the other ornament stamp.There is glitter on the stripes which looks really pretty in real life but doesn't show in the picture.

I will be back tomorrow with more. These images are so much fun to color!
