Deck the Halls

Still working on Christmas cards, another one I have just listed on my ebay page, and I also have this stamp set available for US shipping here on my ebay or here in my Etsy shop :-)

I actually colored this image for last month's daily marker coloring challenge, I just didn't get a chance turn it into a card until now. 

Aren't these cats adorable!!! I colored them with copic markers. Crystal effects was added to the lights to make them shiny. I inked the edges with distress inks and then sewed around the image panel. The designer paper is by BasicGrey and I finished off with some twine from the Twinery. 

Inside I used a Penny Black sentiment set from the set "Season's Gifts". This set is available here in my Etsy shop. 
The cute mouse in the corner is from the set "Holly Jolly".

Wee Christmas Bunny with Presents

Happy Thursday!!

I have a new card to show you today using a cute rubber stamp from Whimsy's Wee stamps collection and a Whimsy sentiment. Both stamps are from a couple years ago but definitely favorites! 

The image has been stamped onto blending card using memento ink, then colored usingn copic markers. I decided to fussy cut the image to work with the sketch I had in mind. 

Sentiment was stamped onto a die cut circle then mounted onto bo bunny designer paper. I embellished with some snowflake brads, glitter and a little white pompom. 

Products used:

Christmas Bunny, Holiday Cheer

(both by Whimsy Stamps)

designer paper by BoBunny

xpress it card, recollections 110lb card stock

snowflake brads, stickles glitter

copics for coloring

This card was just listed on my ebay if you are interested :-)

2 Christmas Tales

Didn't do much blogging or paper crafting last week, so I haven't posted anything new, but today I have two posts :-) This is the second one, if you'd like to see my other cute critter Christmas creations simply scroll down or click here.

The cute image I used on this card is from Whimsy Stamps' October release, a rubber stamp illustrated by Crissy Armstrong. Love Crissy's cute critters! They are so much fun to color and work with!

I stamped the image using Memento ink and colored with Copic Markers and Faber Castell Polychromos pencils on xpress it blending card. Glitter was added to the snow and fur. Designer paper is from DCWV. I added a simple sentiment over a die cut snowflake to finish it off.

Penny Black and More - November Challenge

Happy Sunday :-)

Already November, time for a new challenge at Penny Black and More. It should be an easy one for everyone this month, as our theme is Anything Christmas. I am sure many of you will be working on Christmas cards this month, so you can play along. As always you may enter up to 3 times, and you don't have to use a Penny Black stamp. Just be sure the focal point is hand stamped (this can be a clear or rubber image stamp or large sentiment). The only exception to this is Penny Black stickeroos, but other than that you can use any make of stamps. Digis or die cuts as focal points won't be eligible for the prize draws. 

For my card today I created a cute winter scene using stamps from the set "Deck the Halls". I have this set available for purchase brand new in my etsy shop if you are interested. 

The cute critters were colored with copic markers and fussy cut. I used a Whimsy Stamps die to make the hills. The pretty stamped snowflake behind the sentiment on the front and the inside is from the set "Holiday Snippets", which is also available in my shop. 

This is the inside. The large sentiment is from the set Season's Gifts, another one I have up for sale on Etsy. 

 I added some punched snowflakes and lots of glitter. Designer paper is from my stash, probably by Bo Bunny.
