The new Your Next Stamp release is now out! It is such a great and fun release! Did you see card I showed yesterday with the cute Holiday Ponies? Well today I have another card for you. This time I used the circular wreath from the Holiday Twinkle stamp set and made a very simple card because I think the stamp is enjoy of a decoration on its own. You can find all the new products at the Your Next Stamp store. And while you’re there, you shouldn’t forget about the discount:

Anyway, let’s take a look at my card! There are so many fun elements to colour up. I really quite like both the wreaths on this set, so there might just be another card from me soon, just saying! I’ve kept it simple by adding it onto grey cardstock using foam tape for dimension and drew on a black border. The sentiment banner is cut out by hand and also put on foam tape.

YNS November release preview

I’ve been so fortune that I’ve been asked to take part in the Your Next Stamp November release as a quest designer! The stamps are super cute and I’m up for any excuse to make Christmas cards! For the release preview, I’ve made a card using the Holiday Ponies. There are 4 ponies, some sentiments and some smaller stamps all together. I’ve gone with classic Christmas colours for this.

I’ll be back tomorrow with another card for this super release as a part of the blog hop!

Here is a photo of the stamp set with my coloured up ponies as well.

Poinsettia and pomegranates

November. Wasn’t it just May? I really can’t keep up this year, but apparently it’s time release that Christmas is less than two months away. This month we’re having the theme Christmas for our Copic Marker Norge challenge. I’ve decided to colour up the Poinsettia and Pomegranates stamp from Power Poppy that I coloured up two years ago. I went with even richer and deeper reds this time and kept the card really quite simple.

LotV James bear and the blue cracker

Time for another card on my blog. I am so busy making cards and colouring at the moment that there is sometimes simply not enough time to blog as well! Yesterday, for example, I made three cards and eight bookmarks. I’ll calm down in the middle of November though, so I hope to post more regularly again then, and I do have a surprise at the start of November as well.

This card is made using my favourite bear, James. I figured it was time for a blue Christmas card, but kept it simple this time. I’ve combined it with one of the new sentiments also by Lili of the Vally.

Copics used: (blue) B32, B34, B37, B39, (bear) E41, E42, E43, E44, (grey) C0, C1, C3, (ground) N0, N1, N3, N5

LotV Winter bunny with bird

Here is another Christmas card I’ve made to match the others I’ve done the past two months. I’ve used one of the recent Lili of the Valley stamps along with one of the new sentiments. The papers are all Maja Design and I’ve used my usual acrylic paint, favorite lace, some twine, a charm and the wonder shape die by GoKreate.
