Oh What Fun

Hello friends. Larissa here today with a Chritmas card Oh What Fun.

I have already begun making my Christmas cards. I think you can never start to early. So today I turned on my Christmas music and pulled out this fun Christmas stamp "Dear Santa".

I stamped the Santa 3 times on a piece of white card stock coloring him with my Copic markers. I then cut each one out.

I attached them where they looked like they all had there hands around the others back. To look like they were dancing in a line. 

I then found some cute background paper that was not to busy and added it all to the card front. I added some lights to the top and the fun little sentiment is actually from the Christmas Cheer set. 

I hope you enjoyed my card today. Don't forget to check back at the end of the week and join us for our November sneak peeks and blog hop for the New Release. You are going to love this small release.
Have a wonderful day friends.

You've Been ELFED

Good morning friends! Larissa here with a Christmas card using Christmas Cheer. 

I started out stamped the two elves onto a piece of 110 lb white cardstock. I then colored them using my Copic Markers.

Skin: E000, E00, E01, R20
Hair: E33, E35
Outfits: R24, R27, R29, G05, G07, G14
I used Clear Wink of Stella on her dress and hat and then his belt.

I found some pattern paper in my stash from Bo Bunny and used it for the background.

To finish the card off I used a couple of snowflakes and tied some twine in a bow.

I hope you enjoyed my post today.
Have a wonderful Wednesday Friends.

Pretty Christmas Gift Tags!

Hi! Karla here today with a fun gift tag feature! I am so enjoying December! I've finally got my Christmas cards sent out, our tree is up, we've built our gingerbread house - we found a Frozen one this year, so the girls were really excited! Although, Erica, who's almost 3, couldn't understand why we couldn't eat it immediately after making it :)

We've been wrapping gifts as we get them ready, so there won't be so much to do all at once.  I realized I needed a few more tags, so I decided to combine some Pretty Cute Stamps sets to create these gift tags.

I started with some white cardstock, which I cut into tags, rounding the upper corners of each. Next I stamped the border with Versamark using the Any Better Than This frame, the snowflakes from Christmas Cheer, and a sentiment from the Oh Christmas Tree set. After I heat embossed with gold and silver inks I sponged the edges with Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Distress Inks, leaving a white area in the center.

 For the second tag I used the frame and hearts from Celebrate Today and another sentiment from Oh Christmas Tree. I made the hearts into hanging ornaments by drawing lines and bows with some gold and silver pens.

I tied some gold and silver ribbons onto my tags and some bakers twine to attach them to my gifts. Now they are all ready to be delivered!

Oh, Christmas Tree!

Hello all my Crafty friends and Happy Wednesday!  It's Kendra and I'm back with another fabby Christmas card design using the October Release Oh, Christmas Tree!  I so enjoyed all the Halloween festivities, but it's nice to finally be in Christmas mode!  I LOVE making Christmas goodies!

 

This set is awesome and has so many great stamps!  I stamped the Christmas tree three times and then cut each section of the tree so that I could pop it up and make it look more three-dimensional.  Then I colored and stamped all the ornaments....it took a little bit more work, but the end result looks awesome!

 

 

I used a couple of different snowflake stamps from the Christmas Cheer set, stamped them in versamark ink, used some white embossing powder and my heat gun and voila a pretty background of falling snowflakes.  They are so much prettier in person!  I used my Wink of Stella clear glitter pen on everything....it gives it so much sparkle!  Then I used some Ranger Glossy Effects on all the ornaments and the star.

Look at all those fabulous trimmings for the tree!

 



 

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a fabulous day!  This set and the rest of the October Release are available in the Pretty Cute Stamps store....if you haven't seen them all yet, then run over and check them out! 

 



Oh, Christmas Tree Cards!

Oh! I was so excited to see the October releases by Pretty Cute Stamps! Karla here, and for my post today I couldn't help but share this adorable set, Oh, Christmas Tree (plus stamps from a few other sets shown below!) There are so many possibilities with this set! So many ways to decorate the tree, and so many wonderful sentiments!

I decided to make a couple cards for my Christmas card stash - I think we definitely have to start thinking about that now ;)

I used some 6x6 ME Christmas themed papers as my background papers and then the fun started! I get so much inspiration from watching my kids craft, and since my 2 year old decided to colour her tree pink - I thought I would colour mine pink too! I stamped the presents and coloured them with gel pens in some non-traditional Christmas colours  and popped some of them up along the bottom with foam dots.

I used Prismacolour markers to colour my tree, star and ornaments and then gel pens to colour the garland to look like popcorn. I had to add this happy face - soooo sweet! I used the frame from Any Better Than This stamped with Picked Raspberry Distress Ink on a kraft banner and the snowflakes from Christmas Cheer, which I white heat embossed.  I forgot to make sure the ink on the frame was dry before embossing the snowflakes, but I loved how it turned out! The sentiment, Oh Christmas Tree and star garland stamps to the left of the tree are also from the Oh, Christmas Tree set.

Inside, I hand cut some matching paper and layered on a piece of white cardstock and a piece of vellum stamped with one of the sentiments from the set, along with a tiny (how cute!) gingerbread man!

I had to make a second card, similar to the first, but decorated differently - there were so many ideas of what to do with this set! Take a good look at all the little bits included (below) - amazing! For this card I used Prismacolor Markers again on my tree and gel pens on the garland.

I used gold embossing powder to heat emboss the star and ornaments and silver for the little tiny hangers!! I used the frame from the Celebrate Today stamp set around the edge of my banner.

On the left side I layered a gold embossed sentiment on vellum and a silver embossed star garland, and popped up the tree banner with foam dots.

Inside I used gold embossing powder for the sentiment and silver for the stars on top of vellum and then added some white gel pen stitching lines.

These are all the amazing stamp sets I used, available right now at the Pretty Cute Stamps store!

Thank you so much for joining me today!! I had so much fun creating these cards, and I can think of a million more ideas for using them! Be sure to check out the Pretty Cute Stamps store to pick up your favourites and have a wonderful week :)

I LOVE making Christmas cards and this little sneak peek using "Christmas Cheer" would be perfect for all your Christmas cards/projects!  The variety of sentiments in this set are fabulous!

 

 

I decided to go with a different color combo than the traditional red and green....and I'm really loving this berrylicious blue paired with the red!

 

 

I used my Copic Markers to color this little cutie patootie! The background was stamped using my VersaMark pad....The Wink of Stella Pen gives the image such pretty shimmer....I used white Tulip Puffy Paint and my heat gun for the "pom poms" on the hat, her sleeves and the bottom of the dress.  Love, Love, Love!
