You Ain't Getting!!#X

Once again I used a Stella image from Bugaboo to make a Christmas card. The designer paper is from DCVW"Tis the Season" paper pack. The red cardstock was embossed with a cuttlebug folder. Stella image was colored with copics and embellished with stickles and flower soft. The card was finished off with 4 i-rock studs and a gold mesh ribbon. The inside was stamped lightly with Santa face.

Stuck In The Chimney!

For  my first entry into the CDAC Progressive Challenge # 9,  I choose Crafty Ann's Santa Stuck in the Chimney image. I love using Snow globes to make shaker cards. I used prisma markers to color the image and used flower soft for the snow. Embellished with cardstock ribbons, Cuttlebug corner die and a buckle. Very simple and very quick.

Star Ornaments

These ornaments are examples of some of the wonderful free digital stamps from Tiddly Inks. They were actually one of the first ones I ever received. I used all white cardstock . The base was embossed using a cuttlebug folder and I used  spellbinders die for the shapes around the images as well as the platform they are sitting on.  Foam board was used under the platform to give it plenty of depth and I added dimensionals to the middle image as well. The snowflakes were cut on my cricut. For embellishments I added glitter using stickles and glitter pens and gold pen for the border and top of the ornaments and finished the card off with 6 little pearls and a strip of silver ribbon.

IN THE DOGHOUSE

I'm not too sure what happened to this post, but for some reason I did not have it entered properly in the CDAC Progressive Challenge # 8. Here it is again . I just noticed it now so I hope it makes it into the challenge before it closes. Image from Just Some Lines was colored with copics. The doghouse and dog dish is from a close  to My Heart stamp set"BEST FRIEND DOGGIE". I used dimensionals to pop up the dog. I used a cuttlebug folder for the background cardstock. Finished it off with sticker rhinestones.

Santa Clause is Going to Town

I made this centre rise card using Stellas partner & match, Gus from Bugaboo stamps.  I would say he is also on the Naughty list. Gus was colored with copics and I added liquid glass to both the eyes and beer bottles for a bit of dimension. Designer paper is DCVW"Tis the Season" paper pack. For embelishments I used Celebrate it Ribbon as well as HO  HO Ho  stickers. The inside sentiment is from Stampin Up.

I finished the card off with 4 i-rock sparkle studs and a little Close to My Heart ribbon.

Buttons & Bows

I have needed to make a wedding card for a while now and this  Make it Snappy stamp  by Bugaboo had just what I needed. I used white and black cardstock. It's hard to see it but the centre of the card was lifted off the embossed cardstock using foam board.   The white background was embossed with a cuttlebug folder. I added a touch of red as well as a little glitter to the dress.  Then I used a ribbon bow and some tiny black buttons to finish it off
