last one for today

this is a house mouse stamp....colored with copics and cut apart....i put the popped up branches on top, squirted a bit of red squiggle pain for the berries and placed the bears and mice below. i popped up one little mouse and used crystal effects on all the eyes and other bits to add some dimension.

another christmas card....snow globe effect

for this card i used a SU treat cup. mounted the little snowman on blue snowy paper. i made the snow inside using a styrofoam ball cut in half and rubbed together....saw that tip on splitcoast stampers awhile back. the white background is glitter paper embossed with a CB snowflake folder. a bit of sheer and sparkly ribbon completes the frosty look

more christmas cards.....

used a stamp from stampendous ...love that kitty hanging on to the pine bough. the ornies are colored with markers and glazed with crystal effects to give dimension. a bit of diamond dust on the bough, a sheer red bow.....pretty nifty. the background paper is holly imposed on a sheet of christmas music. the rectangle nestie makes a nice place for the kitty to rest....double matted in red and green

saturday challenge

this one was hard ! make a card using 2 papers, 2 stamps, one punch, ribbon and glitter

the glitter on this tree is subtle, hope you can spot it....i used two round punches for the sentiment (both round, hope that counts as one !!). the background is folded and run through a crimper for that unusual texture. learned that from my fav SU demo a few weeks ago. this would make a neat "masculine" card.....those are always tough for me.

cream and chocolate chip cardstock are the papers.....a bit of chocolate ribbon....done.

ornament challenge

i made this gingie boy for a southernbreezes weekly challenge. i used my sizzix gingerbread boy die with a suede cardstock....so there is a nice fuzzy texture on his body. the frosting is made with white squiggle paint glittered just a tad.

he's OK....but not spectacular, so he is my one and only for this year !!

another christmas card

i used a nestability die cut of an ornament....foil sheets gave some sparkle to the ornaments. backed them with glitter paper...a bit of ribbon and some gold cord finished the front.

inside i used a sentiment from PTI stamped on vellum cardstock also from PTI....set that on a nestability pinked circle and popped it off the page with pop dots.

split negative

saw this nifty technique on gina k's stamp tv. i dont have many chunky stamps (which are perfect for this technique)...but i did find this one. the sentiment is a SU definition set that i cut down to size.....

tricky.....try and figure out how i did this !!
