A Lovely Winter Scene

This stamp is from Stamps Happen.  I’ve coloured the image with Prismacolour pencils and added some glitter. 

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree…….

I love this tree stamp from Magenta.  I coloured with Prismacolour pencils and Taltine and added some gold Liquid Pearls.

‘Tis that time of year once again!

Jumping on the band wagon with Christmas cards and I decided to go with non-traditional colours for this one. 

I stamped with my fave ink (Memento), coloured it with Touch Twin markers and highlighted with Prismacolour pencils and to finish it off, added some Stickles.

Do I like it?  Yup!

Vintage ATC

This is an ATC Christmas tree ornament I created for an ATC group I belong to.  Each year, in November, we create vintage ATCs that can be hung from the tree.  We’ve been doing this for about 4 years now and it is such fun to pull them out every year and hang them.  This cutie patootie is clip art from Luna Girl.  I’ve added some gold Peel-Offs (Magenta), highlighted the tree lights with a glitter pen and pierced the borders using my Tim Holtz ruler; a tool that is a must have if you like to do hand stitching on your papercrafts.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Snowmen

I believe this snowman stamp is from Stampin' Up. I colored the image with watercolor pencils and used the Snowflake Cuttlebug embossing folder for the background. Stickles were added to the snowflake punchies.

Day 6 - Karen Stolper

I love snowmen and this stamp is just so awesome!

Thanks for dropping by and I wish you all an artful day! HUGS!

This was a sketch I found while blogging. Sorry I can't remember where or who posted it, but I love the design! Thanks to whoever posted this one!

Day 3 - Karen Stolper

Day 1 - Karen Stolper

A dear friend of mine let me stamp out some images using Karen Stolper's line of stamps from American Art Stamp Co. These stamps are so much fun and I have enough cards made up to share a card a day with you for at least a week. I hope you don't get bored with the colors as they are pretty much all the same. LOL.

The images are stamped with black Versafine ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. Next, I built up layers of ink by using a sponge. Finally, I colored the images in with Twinkling H2Os and added some Peel-Off stickers or punched snowflakes for some added bling.


Also, I made myself a light studio to photograph my cards and really they don't come out too shabby! LOL. The price was certainly right; it cost me about $5. in fabric and everything else (roll of heavy vellum, cardboard box, velcro and Ott Lite I already had kicking around this ole house).

So, here's the first card I made. Actually, this photo isn't exactly the best one, and I probably should have used a white background rather than the blue, but heck bear with me, I'm still learning.

Thanks for stopping by!

Snowflakes Galore

Stamp: Karen Stolper
Twinkling H2Os

3 Trees

Stamps by: Imaginisce
Twinkling H2Os and a watercolor wash background.

A Single Jester

This is part of the Magenta Jesters stamp that I used for a card on a previous posting. I like the look of this guy all by himself. LOL. The image is colored with alcohol markers.

Victorian Christmas

This stamp is a real beauty. There's so much detail and it was a lot of fun to color. For this one I sponged Distress inks for the background and then did the coloring with Prismacolor pencils.

Joy to You

The background for this card is done with Distress Inks. The image (Tim Holtz) is stamped with Brilliance Lightning Black ink and it really shimmers beautifully. Definitely a quick card to make and Tim has made cardmaking so easy! LOL.

A Gift, A Star and Some Holly

This is another Magenta stamp. Can you tell that Magenta is one of my favorite stamp companies? The image is colored with alcohol markers.

I kind of like the look when the two top layers are folded down at the corner. What do you think?

Magenta Holly

This is another stamp I bought at our stamp club for 2 bucks. I so love it when people decide to get rid of their stamps!

I stamped the image on a cream colored piece of cardstock and sponged on various Distress Inks. After layering I added a tag (Spellbinders) and a brad. A really quick card!

Christmas Birdies

I had a great time making this card and I actually made six of them in one evening. I stamped the branches (Stampscapes) on a piece of white cardstock. Then ran a second piece of white thru the Cuttlebug using the Snowflakes embossing folder. Using my circle Coluzzle I made a "window" in the embossed piece. This was attached over the first piece of stamped cardstock. I stamped the birds (Inkadinkadoo) twice with red chalk ink. The 2 birds were cut out and the foreground bird was cut from the other stamped image and adhered on top of the other birds with some foam tape to give some dimension. I colored the chests of the birds with H2Os and added some Stickles. The berries on the branches are colored with a red gel pen.

Magenta Jesters

This has got to be one of my favorite Christmas stamps. I picked it up at our stamp club for 2 bucks! I stamped and embossed on to a piece of background paper I made some time ago and just didn't know what to do with it. The images are painted with with H2Os.

Peace on Earth

This is another card done with cream and gold. The house stamp is from Magenta and I love how it turned out with the gold embossing.

Hope everyone has a wonderful, creative day. And, thanks for stopping by.
