Dear Santa

December 21, 20222 Comments

Hello and welcome!

Today I’m sharing a this adorably sweet image from All Dressed Up Stamps called Santa Post. She finished her wish list for Santa and is mailing it to Santa in hopes her wishes come true.

I had all my Christmas cards done and mailed out for this year, but decided I should maybe start super early for next years cards..wink wink!

I printed this little cutie on X-Press It Blending Card and colored her with the following markers.

~Copics~
Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, E0000, R20, R30, R00
Hair: E57, E55, E53
Pinks: RV55, RV10, RV02, RV00
Grays: C4, C3, C2, C1, C0, C00
Bird: E44, E42, E41, YR15
White Gel Pen

I used a minimal print paper and added a scalloped die cut frame around her. Once the frame was glued to the image I then attached it to the card base with and extra layer of thick card stock in between.

Pretty Presents

Hi friends!

Goodness..it’s been a while since I’ve created a post! Been busy taking care of myself for a little while.

My card today showcases this little cutie from Sweet November Stamps called Christmas Pixie Evie. What a sweet image!

Honestly they all are, so I bought all of them from the November Vault release.

This darling pixie was printed on X-Press It Blending Card and was colored with the following markers.

~Copics~
Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, E0000, R20, R30, R00
Hair: E57, E55, E53
Yellows: YR23, Y15, Y11, Y00
Reds: R89, R46, R29, R27, R24
Grays: W3, W1, W0 and C3, C1, C0 (Jingle Bells)
White Gel Pen

I added an embossed layer and lots of die cuts for added dimension. I die cut the presents twice, one out of red and one out of white paper. After I decided what color the base of each present was going to be, I then cut out the bow part of the opposite color and glued it on top of the base. I added clear Wink of Stella to several of the die cut pieces to add some shimmer.

Hello everyone!

It’s been a while since I have created anything…I’ve been quite busy outside playing gardener…lol!

For today’s card I’ve joined with a few other talented ladies for Pink Gems Designs first ever Instahop over on Instagram. This handsome little dude is called Autumn Gnome.

I printed this adorable little fella on X-Press It Blending Card and colored him with the following markers.

~Copics~

Skin: E13, E11, E21, E00, E000
Beard: W5, W3, W1, White Gel Pen

Although I have loads of DSP, I couldn’t find what I was looking for so I created my own paper for the background. The orange ribbon is folded at the sides and taped down behind the main image to hide the seam. The postage stamp panel is popped up with double sided foam tape.

Hello crafty friends!

I don’t know about you, but my dogs are little beggars when it comes to ice cream. Good thing I’m not a fan of chocolate ice cream…then there would be no sharing…lol!

Today I am back to share another little sweetheart from the new release at All Dressed Up Stamps. This adorable image is called ‘Too Good to Share‘.

I printed this little cutie on X-Press It Blending Card and colored her with the following markers:

~Copics~

Greens: YG67, YG63, YG61, YG11, G40, YG01
Cone: E57, E55, E53, E23

I added some detail to the patterened paper with a white gel pen to break up the solid pink squares just a little bit.

Hello and welcome!

I used to love pretty flowered dresses when I was little. The full skirts with ruffles on them were the most fun to twirl around in! This little cutie pie from All Dressed Up Stamps is called ‘Love Spring Time‘. I just couldn’t resist drawing in some pretty purple flowers on her cute little dress.

I printed this little sweetheart on X-Press It Blending Card and colored her with the following markers.

~Copics~
Skin: E11, E21, E00, E000, E0000, R20, R30, R00
Hair: E55, E53, E51, Y21
Grays: C4, C2, C1, C0, C00
Purples: V09, V17, V12
White Gel Pen

I took a stroll through one of our local scrapbook stores last week and found some adorable dies. I mixed them with some that I already had to come up with this design. I love how it turned out!

Hello and welcome!

Oh my goodness…how stinkin’ cute is this little cutie pie? This sweet image from All Dressed Up Stamps is called ‘Daisy Fairy‘. I just love her adorable flower dress!!

I printed this little sweetheart on X-Press It Blending Card and colored her with the following markers:

~Copics~
Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, E0000, R20, R30, R00
Hair: E57, E55, E53, E30, YR21, E99

Flowers: BV23, RV55, RV02, RV00, Y15, Y00
White Gel Pen

I couldn’t decide on a particular color for her flower dress, so I decided to try a multi-colored effect. It is a little more vibrant in person, but I love how it turned out. It was a happy experiment!

Love you to pieces

Hi friends!

Is there such a thing as loving someone too much?…nope…never!

This little sweetie is sharing all of her love in the form of a puzzle. This adorable image from The Paper Nest Dolls is called ‘Ava with Heart Puzzle‘. She was originally drawn for Autism Awareness, but she can also be used for lots of other occasions.

I printed this little cutie at a height of 3.4″ on X-Press It Blending Card and colored her with the following markers.

~Copics~
Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, E0000, R20, R30, R00
Hair: E55, E53, E51, YR21
Pinks: BV23, RV23, RV21, RV11, R00, R000
Blues: B95, B93, B91, BG000
Greens: YG17, YG03, YG01
Yellows: YR23, Y15, Y11, Y00
Purples: BV04, BV02, BV01, BV00, BV000
White Gel Pen

The shaker part is made with tulle netting as I find it easier to photograph, and it also gives the card a little bit softer feel. I have to say I had fun going through my stash of shaker bits choosing colors that are in the background paper. It’s good to go through those sometimes just to remember what you have…lol!!

As two hearts become one

Hi friends!

How adorable are these two newlyweds? These two sweethearts from the digital image called ‘The First Dance‘ are from All Dressed Up Stamps.

I printed these adorable newlyweds on X-Press It Blending Card and colored them with the following markers.

~Copics~
Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, E0000, R20, R30, R00
Bride’s Hair: E55, E53, E30
Groom’s Hair: E29, E27, E25, YR21
Gown: C2, C1, C0, C00

Bow, Flower, Tie: R20, R30, R00, R000
Greens: YG17, YG03, YG01
Background: BG72, BG70
Silver Gel Pen

For today’s card I decided to use die cut paper flowers, adding pearls and gemstones to the centers for a little sparkle. I used a silver gel pen on the pearls in her hair and to the top of her dress. My hope is that it would look like sparkly gemstones.
