The backordered Santa stamps from Stampavie finally came in. They are just in time for those who make their cards at the last minute like me. See how adorable the jolly old elf looks when colored with Copic markers and accented with Stickles. We also got to try the new tag trio set of dies from Spellbinders when making the buckle at the top of the card. The airbrushed background was an experiment, but not bad. I hope you enjoy our card and your holiday season. Merry Christmas!

When the new stamps came in from Stampavie, I couldn’t wait to stamp them all. So far these are the 3 I finished coloring (with Copic Markers of course) and made into cards. One other that was a get well card got sent to my cousin to cheer her up after a hip replacement. I’ll redo that and share it with you another time. Please enjoy these, and sign up for our Copic class on Dec. 12 if you haven’t already taken it. It really is helpful.



All of these cards used the following products:
Cardstock - The Paper Cut
Designer paper - Creative Imaginations
Markers - Copic
The 1st card also used a border punch from the Martha Stewart Collection
I may be running late, but I’m just beginning to think of the holiday season. When this adorable House Mouse of the month arrived I couldn’t wait to stamp it. Mouse E. Claus colored with Copic markers just matches the new Christmas double sided paper that arrived from Creative Imaginations. Embossing with the Cuttlebug Swiss dot folder gives a snowy feeling to the scene.
Then while in the spirit of things I tried an inchie design with a pine branch. They were showing similar ideas on the inchie website (inchiearts.com). This is a quick easy one if you plan to make a lot of cards.
