I’ve finally got a bit more crafting time and I’ve spent the past week colouring up various images. However, Lili of the Valley is having a new Christmas and winter release today so of course I had to make a card with one of the new images! I’ve used the image Winter Moonlight for this project.
The background paper and “klem” part of the sentiment are from Papirdesign and the big letters are by Altenew. And of course the card is blue. It is my favourite for this kind of card after all!
For my second projects for the Rachelle Anne Miller design team this month I’ve opted to make a Christmas card! The stamp of my choice this time is called Majestic Tree (aff. link). I’ve coloured it all up with Copic Marker, used a die cut sentiment by Papirdesign and a stamped sentiment by Mathia Design. A few matching sequins and blue cardstock was my accent colour of choice today.
Did you see the video I added the other day? Where I coloured up this adorable little bear? If you didn’t, you can find it here.
Today I’m going to show you the card I made with said colouring, James in the Snow by Lili of the Valley. I used Maja Design background paper for a nice rich green panel and then cut the coloured panel into a smaller rectangle which was added off-centre with foam tape. A few snowflake chipboards and two die cut sentiments glued on top of each other was all I needed to finish off the look on this card. The die cut is from Papirdesign.
You will also find several other cards featuring the very same image on previous blog posts through the years. I have used it loads!
It’s been a slow month on the blog. Life has taken over and I’ve hardly even looked at my cardmaking things and only coloured up one image the whole month. I do however have a new colouring video for you today, to hopefully mark my return into crafting again. It’s a long overdue video, really, as it features one of my absolute favourite stamps: James in the Snow by Lili of the Valley. I make more than one Christmas card with this image every single year and this year will be no exception.
I’ve coloured in a bit of snow and a purple hued background. The stamp itself has been coloured in a quick and simple way to show that it doesn’t have to be at all fancy to look pretty good. There is no audio for this video either, sorry.

The colours used for this video are: (brown) E41, E42, E43, E44 (green) YG63, YG67, G94, G99 (purple) V000, V20, V22, V25 (white) W0, W1, W3 (pink) RV63 (snow) B000, V000, V20 + sakura gelly roll 10
I’ve, once again, used the Feeding the Birds stamp from Mo’s Digital Pencil. This time I’ve cut it out by hand and used only very few colours. The card is made with items from various companies. The background stamp is by Simon Says Stamp, inked with Distress Oxide, the polaroid frame die is by MFT Stamps and the snowflakes by Hello Bluebird. A simple sentiment by Mama Elephant and some red and white baker’s twine finished off the card.
