Christmas Cards

 

FF23jkanack - Fall or winter card, include a REAL postage stamp as embellishment

For my card, I used the Spellbinders mailbox die cut and cut out all the pieces using paper scraps. I stamped 2 different Santa postage stamps and added a real celebrate postage stamp.

The clouds were sponged on the base, then the postal box was added and a couple of dimensionals were added to the door of the postal box.

The card was finished with a few stacked snowflakes and stickles were added to the snowflakes and Nuvo Drops were added to the mailbox.

CAS765 - Die Cut

For my card, I used the Spellbinders bridal dress die cut to cut out this wedding dress using white and some silver, green and blue for the flowers and leaves. The dress was popped up on dimensionals.

I heat embossed the Mr & Mrs in silver to match the silver on the dress. The flowers on the dress were finished with silver gems and then a few more gems were scattered around the card front.

Hip-Hip-Horray!

 

FS872 - This week's incredibly talented Featured Stamper is Pat aka contrapat. Her gallery is full of wonderful inspiration. I found this INSPIRATION.

F4A713 - Leaves

For my card, I kept the 2 large rectangles Pat had on her card and made them the same size layering them over each other. I used designer paper that had really pretty foil and leaves in it for my card.

To pick up more of the gold in the paper, I die cut more gold leaves and layered them under the sentiment along with a couple stirps of green ribbon to match the green in the DP.

I added the sentiment and doodled around the sentiment layer.

The card was finished with a few punched gold bits.

Cute Bear

 

IC933 - Lake Effect Gallery - here is my inspiration

For my card, I used this cute image and the coordinating Kit and Clowder class to color him up with pencils.

Once colored he was mounted on a white card base. I did not want to take away from the cute image so I did not add a sentiment.

Christmas Bus

 

WT971 - International Walk to School Month - how did you get to school when you were young? Bus/Car/Bike/Walk? (I actually walked and took a bus, depending on the year of school).

I decided to do my bus cards. Every year my sister asks me for school bus Christmas cards as she is a bus mechanic. This year's cards feature a deer driving the school bus colored with copics. She had me make 12 cards this year

I finally have purchased a Pike stamp so next year's cards I won't have to write out the school on the license plate. Now to not lose the small stamp. LOL!

Birthday Heart

 

SC980 - This week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For my card, I cut the card base using a heart leaving the top edge uncut. I then cut the same heart shape and covered the hinge of the card heart base.

Next, I cut the peach heart and used some flowers from my Heartfelt Creations collections. These were already stamped and colored, I just shaped, layered, and added stickles.

I finished with the birthday sentiment and added prills to the flower centers.
