PFS Santa Claus Comes Tonight

Posted on by Liz

It’s time for Santa to visit my blog. With two months and a couple of weeks to go it’s soon going to be time to mentally prepare for Christmas and all that comes with hahaha. This Santa Claus Comes Tonight from Picket Fence Studios covers up the card front nicely and he is pretty easy to colour up. I’ve used some of the Paper Glaze Snowdrop White and the Fancy Christmas Tree blending stencils around him and then a small sentiment to go with. Card making doesn’t have to be complicated 🙂

I put the coloured panel off to the side, and kept the same height as the card base.

You can see the swirls from the blending stencil and the texture quite well on a close-up.

POD Kai the Fox Surfer

I’ve made another card using Kai from the summer release at Purple Onion Designs. This time I’ve gone with more feminine colours and added some bright pinks. I’ve coloured up Kai with my Copics and then made a mask so I could use Distress Oxides around. Then I gave the panel a border and stamped up one of the stamps from the new sentiment set (I love this set!).

MFT Superstar

I was unsure for a while, if I would be able to make a card for the contest or not, but here I am! This year I’ve decided to only enter in one of the categories: Clean and Simple Genius . Yup, you guessed it, it is the annual Superstar contest over at My Favorite Things!

A friend and I have been ordering together a few times the past year or two, to save on postage, and this adorable set I ordered arrived just last week. I am loving the new designs, so of course I had to pick a Jenoblade. Here is Fall for You. The scene stamp is stamped in no-line and coloured in pale colours, and then the other stamp is coloured in bolder colours, with a dash of contrasting pink (which I reused for the card stock border on the side). The sentiment is from the Everything Wonderful set (loving these sentiments!).

So yeah, this is my Superstar entry this year. Good luck to all the participants! Have a great Sunday, everyone.

PFS Mistletoe Kisses

Posted on by Liz

There are a few big stamps in the latest Picket Fence Studios (this and all links in this post are affiliate links) release and the Mistletoe Kisses is one of them. I’ve chosen to stamp it in the top left corner so that I could fit a big sentiment as well. I opted for Joyeux Noel from the stamp set with the same name. A few sequins from the Christmas Flurries embellishment jar were placed around the sentiment, and I stuck with my top left positioning when putting the coloured panel onto the card base as well.

POD Snowfetti

I’m in the spirit of Christmas cards at the moment, so I have to share loads! Sorry, not sorry! Here is Elliot and Marcel making Snowfetti. It is from Purple Onion Designs’ Julian Charlton range. I think the stamp is super cool and tried something new: pencil colouring on a blue background. Fun! I’ve added extra snow and a fun border around. Love how the pencil colouring turned out, so don’t be surprised if you see more like it!
