Cardinal

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Today's card could be used for a winter birthday but I chose to make it

into a Christmas card.

I started with a piece of Grout Gray from MFT and stamped some leaves with

white pigment ink and heat embossed them.  Then I stamped the pine branches.

Any ink over the embossing wipes off with a paper towel.  A little script stamp in a

light gray added more interest to the background.

The cardinal was cut from Real Red cardstock and sponged with Cherry Cobbler

ink over the edges.  A Sharpie was used to color his bill.

I had some pine branches sitting out and popped one over the stamping and added

a berry branch too.  The bird fluttered over and landed on the branch.

Another one for my Christmas stash.

Challenges:

ABC Christmas - C is for Crimson

Christmas Kickstart #108 - Out of the woods

Jingle Belles - Christmas music (Joy to the World)

Card Recipe

Stamps:  Forever Fern (SU), Pine (Inkadinkadoo), Christmas Sentiments (KC), Vintage Ephemera (W9)

Ink:   Whisper White, Wild Wasabi, Going Gray, Cherry Cobbler, Morning Mist (VC)

Paper:   Grout Gray, Smokey Slate, Real Red

Other:  Small Cardinal Set (DD), Pine Bough die (Grtry), Winterberry Sprig die (MB), Tasteful Textile EF (SU)

Santa and Rudolph

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I found this image already colored in the package when I was looking 

for something else.

It made me think about the challenge at Peace on Earth.

So they went on a card after some cutting and trying this and that.

The sentiment was cut from the Memory Box Twiggy Alphabet.

I thought I had a Ho ho, ho die, but can't put my hands on it.

Recycled Christmas Tags

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

It's not too soon to start on the 2026 Christmas cards!

And these tags were too pretty to sit in the wrapping box all year.

I'm not sure of all the supplies since the tags were made by friends.

And one more....

All the tags were popped onto an embossed background.

Easy peasy!

The Snow Notes Tour

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

The Snow Notes are at it again.  They're on tour and singing their 

hearts out to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

 

I spent so much time with these guys that I feel like I should name them. LOL.

Each one uses a piece of decorative paper in the background.

    

  

and look at what my friend Jan did for a Christmas present for another friend.

It's in a shadow box so there's lots of texture and dimension.

See that little guy with the snowballs?  She finished it off with a snowball splatted on the tree

and a stack of snowballs ready to be thrown.  Didn't she do a great job?

Christmas Kickstart #105 - Something Christmasy

Noel Trio

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

These three hadn't made an appearance yet this year.

I thought they would work well with Linda's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.

I stamped each one with Copic friendly ink and colored them with Copics sticking to mainly

browns to honor all those LBJs (Little Brown Jobs) that feed in our yard.

They are perched on a holly branch and welcoming some snow.

Some homemade Flower Soft, made by rubbing two Styrofoam balls together, added

some fluff to their caps.

Vintage Christmas

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I was inspired by Susan's card and how she stamped on patterned paper.

I stamped the sentiment but die cut the sleigh.

I added a bit of inking on the edges of this patterned paper to match the top

of the sheet.  I also inked the edges of the card base.

All in all it was a quick and easy card.

The Christmas card stash is growing.

A Sketchy Christmas

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

When I saw the sketch at Jingle Belles, I thought of this set of

Ephemera and patterned paper that I bought several years ago.

I am so bad about using my patterned paper but this time, I made myself cut into it!

The bauble was from a matching ephemera set.  It has a beautiful sheen to it.

I would love a bauble like this to put on my tree.

Love Those Pretty Papers - ATG using decorative paper. Did not use the Summer option

Noel Wreath

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Here's another Christmas card from my UFO box.

The grapevine wreath was in the box and I did what I do with the wreath on the door

when the seasons change.  You can add anything you want (or what's punched or die cut

in the bits boxes) and change the whole look.

This time it's finished off with pine and holly with a poinsettia added in.

A bird cut from gold foil and then embossed and a big red bow added some

more color and elegance.

The foiled Noel looks a bit off, but my Glimmer Machine doesn't work the best

and it could be off due to the shine that the camera doesn't like.

I'm adding this to a new to me challenge where my friend Nance is guesting for

the next several weeks.

Challenges:

AAA Colourful #10 - Reds, Greens and Gold

Just Us Girls #754 - Mood Board - See that wreath?

Jingle Belles - CASE their Banner

 

Card Recipe

Stamps:  

Ink:   

Paper:   Neenah Solar White, Shaded Spruce (SU)

Other:  Nordic Frames (Grty), Funky Wreaths (TH), Holiday Blooms (Spl), Fit to be Tied (Grty), Birds (IO), Perfect Sentiments Holiday Foil Plate (PFS), Gold Foil

Gingerbread Bouquet

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I'm squeaking in at the last minute with this card.

Gingerbread is a staple for our Cookie Day and this gingerbread man stamp

and die is always among my Christmas cards.

The bouquet is new and I had fun coloring and arranging all the pieces.

I stamped the edging with white pigment ink and heat embossed, then used a

stencil to add some cracks in the cookie.

The enamel buttons and black dots were in my stash.  All of the greenery and

candy canes were cut from white Neenah and inked up with finger daubers.

A pierced cover plate provided the background.

Added to add.  I don't need to decide whether to eat the head or feet first.  I claim

all the broken pieces (on the real thing, not the paper version).

Challenges:

Peace on Earth #75 - Inspired by the gingerbread on mood board below

Jingle Belles - Christmas Feast

NBUS #68 - Never Before Used Schtuff ( Spellbinders Dies)
