James Bear with Christmas cracker

It’s been a lot of clean and simple Christmas cards this year, and by a lot I mean that most of them have been CAS! So, I decided it was time for something different and proper traditional colours. It is my turn to show off something in the Christmas Calendar over at Copic Marker Norge today, and this is what I decided to make. It is perfectly reasonable to decided to make something with loads of layers that takes longer than CAS does when you have hardly any time at all, right?

Anyway, I used this adorable stamp from Lili of the Valley. I have a feeling I’ll colour it up again before Christmas, if I can only decide on which colour to use for it! I combined it with lace I got from Live and Love Crafts, Papirdesign paper and sentiment. Then I used some acrylic paint around the edges of the layers and some twine along with a gingerbread charm. And it’s obviously coloured up with Copics as usual. You can find the colours listed at the bottom of this post.

Here is a photo from the side you can see how the card is stood on a surface.

And another photo of the card laying down.

Magnolia snowfall

It’s time for some midway inspiration at Copic Marker Norge. I’ve been inspired by the purple hues and coloured up a Magnolia stamp with Copics of course and used this lovely sentiment from Papirdesign.

Oh deer, it’s Winter!

I’ve made a winter card to show you today. The adorable deer are by Neat and Tangled, and the text sentiment is by Huldra Designstudio. I’ve used Bazzill and Papirdesign paper as well as Joy Crafts and Pretty Pink Posh dies. If you are in Norway, then you can find most of these available at Hobbykunst.

LLLC: Thank You

For my La-La Land Crafts project this week I’ve made a tag. The theme we got to work with this time around was thank you and I think a tag was very suitable as it’s nice to have a tag to go with a small present to say thank you. You can find all the LLLC products listed below the photo.
