Crafty Meraki night time Season’s Greetings

It is Tuesday, which means Christmas is only a couple of days away. Here in Norway we celebrate on the 24th. So yeah, Christmas is nearly upon us and I don’t think I’ve been less prepared than I am this year. Thankfully I had most of my Christmas cards made early, but a few last minute ones are made this year as well. Fully coloured panels seems to be how my last minute cards end up this year, because quick and easy doesn’t seem to happen when I have no time at all! Hahaha. The stamp set I have used here, by My Favorite Things, is a part of the Stacey Yacula collection and is called Christmas Cheer. I have masked the stamps together, but if you prefer die cuts, you can find the matching set here. As we are just past the darkest day of the year here, I decided on a night sky.

The panel is die cut using MFT’s Stitched Rectangle stax dies. There are other fun options as well, such as the Whimsical one. The text stamp is from the Flurry of Love stamp set and I used cardstock for that and the enamel dots to match the colour of the bunny’s fur.

Copics used: BV13, BV17, BV25, BV29, B0000, BV000, BV20, BV23, R22, R24, R29, E18, BG93, BG96, BG99, E97, E08, E19, E18, W1, W3, W5, T0, T1, T3, YR21, YR24, YR27, R30

RAM Paper Boat

It’s time for another project using a Rachelle Anne Miller image and this time I’ve chosen the adorable Paper Boat stamp. The card itself is simple and everything is coloured with Copic markers, but the white highlights are made using a Sakura gelly roll. I’ve embossed a Norwegian Happy Birthday sentiment onto blue card stock and added a few enamel dots around it.

Copics used: E02, E13, E15, BG13, BG15, BG18, BG78, B95, B97, B99, BV23, BV25, BV29, Y35, YR21, YR24, YR27, E55, E71, E74, E77, E79, W0, W1, W3, W5

Polkadoodles delivery time

I have another card with a drawn in background. This time I opted for a different kind of trees, but kept it pretty simple. A little at a time, right? 🙂 This was used with an adorable stamp by Polkadoodles called Delivery Time. I am quite enjoying making little winter scenes at the moment and this was no exception. There will be a video coming soon showing how I coloured this one up, so check back next week!

A Tiddly wedding card

If there’s one thing I’ve not made many of this year it’s wedding cards! So when someone asked if I could make one I simply had to find time to squeeze it in. I got a few guidelines, but mostly I could do what I felt like so this is what I came up with using one of my favourite wedding stamps. It’s by Tiddly Inks. I’ve used flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, Maja Design paper, my favourite lace and ribbon along with some white acrylic paint.
