Blue James

Posted on by Liz

I couldn’t do this year’s pile of Christmas cards without my favourite bear! I’ve been colouring him, in various poses, every year since I started colouring, and I am not about to break that tradition! I’ve used prismacolor pencils this time and I simply love that look of pencils on kraft. It’s been a while since I did any of those colourings, so I shall bump that right to the top of my list, I think! You can find James Santa Stop Here in the Lili of the Valley shop.

The big sentiment die is by Mama Elephand and I coloured it up with copics to match. A little die cut around the edge and a lot of snow finished it off.

Here is another photo because he’s cute! See all the layers on the text.

Merry Everything

Time for another mini-slimline card. I seem to have a thing for those at the moment and today I’m going to share a purple one! It is one of MFT’s Holiday Penguins who is out to play today. The purple water colour background paper and the simple “everything” stamp is also by My Favorite Things. I’ve used a massive snowflake by Waffle Flower and both the mini slim line frame die and the word merry are by Lawn Fawn.

I’ve used one of Lee Holland’s cute stamps for this card. It’s a mini-slimline card where I’ve cut the coloured panel to fit the bottom half of the card. It’s put on foam tape over a Maja Design winter paper. This is one of my all time favourite papers. The sentiment is make with an Altenew alphabet set. The Tall Alpha set (affiliate link) is definitely one of my favourite alphabets! A few enamel dots and done!

PFS Beary Christmas

My take on the cute Beary Christmas To You (this and all links are affiliate links) stamp from this month’s Picket Fence Studios release is that I made the bear into a polar bear!

I’ve stamped the sentiment twice. It is called Another Joyeux Noel. Once on the background and then also on the coloured image. This is because the coloured image was die cut after I coloured it, but I didn’t want the text stamp to disappear behind it. I used only the Christmas part of the sentiment and used a text stamp from the Sweet Holiday set which I embossed in white onto black to go with. The card was finished off with a few sequins from The Winter Blues mix.

The text stamp is stamped right onto the card base whereas the coloured image is die cut and put on foam tape to get some dimension. I coloured up the background behind him in a deeper shade of blue to make him stand out more.

Here is a close-up of the polar bear because he’s cute!

PFS Big Snowman

I have another new card to share from the latest Picket Fence Studios (this and following links are all affiliate links) release. When I first saw this snow I knew I had to colour him up in a no-line version! It is a little bit tricky, but it also gives the stamp a bit of a different look. And if I have a weak spot I think it must be just this, snowmen in no-line. The stamp is called Snowone Else Like You

Isn’t he adorable? I put him in the corner and masked him off to create the darker blue background with Distress Oxides before using the Liquid White Snowflake Paper Splatter Watercolor to make it look like it is snowing. Then I used my Copics to colour him up. For the sentiment I used one of the word stamps from Merry Christmas Friends, stamped it up in a deeper shade of red, and used the coordinating die for it. Then I put it on the card using foam tape to give it some dimension. To finish it all off I used snowflakes from the Nostalgic Times mix and red sequins from the Vintage Christmas mix.

Here you can see how pretty the sequins are and get everything at a close-up. If you love sequins and shaker mixes, then Picket Fence Studios is really the place to browse around. They have so many gorgeous mixes!
