12 Days (or so) of Christmas Cards

Hi everyone,
here is another card I'm sharing with you
the deer are  from the Silhouette store.
On the white one, I left it as is and matted it on an embossed background (love that embossing folder!!)
The stamp is from Indigo Blu which I stamped with dark brown Fluid Chalk ink and highlighted with Mustard Seed distress ink

The brown deer was embossed with Chocolate Twinkle E.P. and I added a couple die cut snowflakes from Impression Obsession
Hope you like them.

12 Days (or so) of Christmas Cards

Here's a rustic Christmas card I made that was inspired by a Pottery Barn ornament. I used a Silhouette cut file for the front and altered each letter in a different way.

N - faux rust
O - woodgrain paper with stamped sweater pattern
E - faux metal plate with an embossing folder
L - distress crackle paint
Thanks for looking, see you next time

12 Days (or so) of Christmas Cards

Hello,
Another Christmas Card for me to share,
The sled is a Silhouette file and I embellished with Tim Holtz's festive greens diecuts.
A little mini ornament and Tim's vintage skate charm add a little more dimension and interest.

Hi, 
So I was inspired by the bokeh look of some pictures I saw on Pinterest. I wanted to try and replicate them.
I used the Tim Holtz snowflake and embossing folder set (love it!) along with his snowflake stamp set.
I then dug DEEP into my stash of stamps and found some circles and starbursts. 
I used milled lavender, faded jeans and white Stayz on inks

I am really happy with the result. Thanks for looking, see you next time.

12 Days (or so) of Christmas Cards

Here's some "heavy metal"  Christmas cards for you.
Sizzix embossing folders and the foil paper from Ranger. The card on the left has a Spellbinders EF.
I used Tim Holtz' 3D star and the holiday greens thinlit die.
These 2 were made the same, only using white paper and the Simple Stories line.
I really love the way they turned out. Same style but a totally different look.

12 Days (or so) of Christmas Cards

Hi again:
I did some retro Cards with the Bo Bunny "Candy Cane Lane" paper line.
These great little signs and the vintage ornaments are from the Silhouette online store.
I used Peacock Feathers, Festive Berries, Spun Sugar and Mustard Seed distress inks/markers to add color to the signs.
see you soon

12 (or so) Days of Christmas Cards

I wanted to start sharing some of the Christmas cards I made this year. the first one is a re-do of one of my favorite from last year.  The original was inspired by Jan Hobbins' configurations book she did for Sizzix. You can check out my original post here.

I used a different map paper this time but kept the overall design and color scheme the same.

Happy Christmas! Santa is coming soon.
