Lotv James in the forest snow

Posted on by Liz

This is my second attempt at colouring in my own background. I stuck with various purples for my little forest scene. The adorable bear is by Lili of the Valley and I’m sure you’ve seen me use this stamps a few times in the past! It gets a bit of a different look with a drawn in background, though. I also added some snow to the ground as well as some falling snow. The brighter blue scarf and hat stands out nicely against the background.

The card itself is quite simple. I didn’t feel like it needed a lot added to it, so I simply used a stitched border die for the panel, a Norwegian Christmas sentiment in a dark purple and some semi-transparent sequins around it.

Crafty Meraki Poinsettia

Wasn’t it just Tuesday? Well, it is Tuesday again and it’s time for another Crafty Meraki project. The days just seem to fly past at the moment! Today I have a simple Christmas card to share with you. Lately I’ve coloured up quite a lot of the card panel, so this time I’ve focused on just a part of it and leaving plenty of white space. I’ve used the poinsettia stamp from the Christmas Miracle stamp set twice and masked them together as well as masking them into a section of the card. The flowers were coloured in with Copic marker and I also coloured in a grey background behind them.

The sentiment is from MFT Stamp Christmas Cheer stamp set and I’ve placed three semi-transparent sequins around it. They are a bit hard to spot in photos, though. To frame it all I used red cardstock as the card base, the cardstock is also from MFT Stamps.

Copics used: T3, R22, R24, R29, E18, Y32, Y35, Y38, YR27 + white gelly roll pen.

Have a great week!

James Bear in the snow, of Lili of the Valley, is one of my all time favourite stamps and I colour it up several times each Christmas. This time I have made a CAS card with him on the side with white on white covering the rest of the panel. The die cut is by Mama Elephant and I’ve added semi-transparent sequins and white glittery embossing powder randomly over the whole panel covering everything. Bright red card stock frames the panel and matches his outfit.

There’s be a lot of Christmas cards on the blog this month. In October and at the start of November I coloured up a few stamps, but I haven’t had time to make cards of them until recently. Hopefully I will have time to blog them all before Christmas, but as I don’t know how many coloured images I have laying around at the moment, it’s a bit hard to guess how many cards there’ll be!

For this one I’ve coloured up one of Lee Holland‘s stamps. This is in fact one of the very first stamps of his that I bought, but it’s taken a while to get it coloured up and onto a card! I’ve opted for my favourite blues, gave the card a wide border and used a chipboard from Make it Crafty which I coloured in to have a gradient effect. A few semi-transparent sequins scattered around and voila! card done!

Copics used: B0000, BG000, BV20, BV23, B91, B93, B95, B97, B99, W0, W1, W3, T0, T1, T3, YR15, E97, E08, E19, E18, R32, R35, R39, N3, N5, N7, N9, YG61, YG63, YG67, G43, G46, E74, E79, Y32, Y38

Have you made any Christmas cards yet? I am almost done with mine now. In fact I posted my first few ones yesterday! I’ve used lilac colours again this time. The stamp set is by My Favorite Things is a part of the Stacey Yacula collection and is called Christmas Cheer. I have masked various of the stamps together to make the little scene.

The base is made with lilac card stock from MFT Stamps as well and I used one of their Stitched Rectangle stax dies. The sentiment is a Mama Elephant die cut out with white card stock and at the end I added some semi-transparent sequins around the top.
