My card today features the gorgeous stamp from Stamping Bella called Pamela the Poinsettia.  This little cutie is so adorable with her little Poinsettia dress.  I of course had to have her since her simply because she is cute AND her name is Pamela…lol

May Your Season Be Merry

I stamped this precious little girl on X-Press It Blending Card and colored her with the following Copic markers.

Skin:  E11/21/00/000/0000/RV21
Hair:  E37/35/53/YR21

Greens:  YG17/03/01/G40
Reds:  R14/22/21 then R89/46/27/24

May Your Season Be Merry1

I loved the sentiment that came with the stamp, however it was far too big for my card.  To make it fit I created the sentiment on my computer and shortened the saying.  The dies are from Memory Box, Impression Obsession, and LaLa Land Crafts.

The gorgeous I Am Roses flowers I used to create this card are listed below:
S3-153 – Soft Cream Cherry Blossoms paper flowers
S10-15 – White Small Craft Paper Flowers
S10-12/C – Small White with Red Center 2 Tone paper Flowers
R2-426 – Mini Mixed Rainbow Pastel color Paper Flowers

Sweet Holiday Wishes

Hello Crafty Peeps!

What can I say…I love these sweet Swiss Pixies from C.C. Designs!  This little cutie pie is from the Christmas Swiss Pixie clear stamp set…how adorable!

I am not a traditional Christmas color kinda girl, and I adore the cute paper found in the I {heart} Snow Paper Pad…so pink and blue were my colors of choice for her.

Sweet Holiday Wishes

I stamped this adorable Pixie on X-Press It Blending Card with Black Olive Ink before coloring her with the following Copic Markers.

~Copics~
Skin:  E11/21/00/000/0000-R20/30/00
Hair:  E42/31/30/50/51

Pinks:  RV55/02/10/00/000
Blues:  B95/93/91/000/0000

Sweet Holiday Wishes1

The paper is from the adorable I {heart} Snow Paper Pad.  The dies are from LaLa Land Crafts and Magnolia.

The gorgeous flowers are from I Am Roses.
R77-427 – Random Mixed Rainbow Color Paper Roses
R5-2 – Soft Pink Handmade Mulberry Paper Flowers
R8-15 – White Mulberry Paper Roses
R2-2 – Mini Soft Pink Paper Flowers
R2-15 – Mini White Paper Flowers

Sweet Holida Wishes2

The blue flower I chose for this card was a little too big for me, I made it a little smaller by removing the bottom two layers of the flower and re-gluing the leaves back on before attaching to my card with hot glue.

As always, there is an abundance of inspiration to be found in the store here.

Thank you so very much for stopping by!

All the images are cut out with the coordinating December & January Outline Dies.  The tag and oval are from La-La Land Crafts, the snowflake is from Memory Box.  I popped up some of the layers with double sided foam tape and added red flat backed rhinestones to the snowflakes for a little added interest.

I die cut a rounded stitched rectangle of white paper with a die from My Favorite Things and adhered it to the back of the tag so there was a place to write on.

From Our House to Yours

2 Comments

Good morning!

How peaceful is this?  When I look at this Wintry Cabin Stamp from this month’s new release at Whimsy Stamps, the first thing that comes to mind is a place to relax and totally unwind.  Maybe a place to gather with crafty friends and play with all our goodies…lol!!

Pam-Schumacher_Wintry-Cabin_Rounded-Rectangles-Die_Kinetic-Straight-Basics-Die-Set

I stamped this gorgeous image on X-Press It Blending Card and then colored it with the following Copic markers.

Sky:  B0000/Y0000/RV0000/CB

From-Our-House-to-Yours

Once the image was colored, I added Nuvo Glitter Drops (White Blizzard) to the trees and several areas of the snow.  I die cut a border strip using the Kinetic Straight Basics Die Set, taping the bottom of the die on the edge of the paper.  I used the tiny strip that would normally be waste and used it as my border to add some more visual image.  I then used double sided 1/4″ Scor-Tape directly above the border strip and attached the red ribbon.  I popped up the center panel with double sided tape.  The sentiment is from the Gingerbread Greetings Clear Stamp Set, and was also popped up with foam tape.  Two white self adhesive backed pearls finish off the card.
