Spring is definitely here and both grass and trees are turning green. So how about a card to celebrate just that?
I have used the Woodland background stamp together with Marigold. One of the things I appreciate when it comes to these stamps are the names given to the different animals. I love that they all have their own names! Anyway, they are two of the great stamps over at Purple Onion Designs, both from the Stacey Yacula collection. The sentiment is from the Everyday Blurbs set.
I love making Christmas cards and the Purple Onion Designs stamps are perfect for it! Here you can see Flannel the Raccoon. He is pulling his sled with two big gifts on. I wonder what’s inside. I love a good winter scene for my Christmas cards so I used one of the Snowy Trees and stamped it up three times. The sentiment is from the Snow Much Fun sentiment set.
I love a good snowman stamp and this one is being hugged by his bunny and penguin friends. The stamp, by Purple Onion Designs, is called Sweet Snow Friends. How adorable is that? I love colouring it up, and this time I die cut the panel and put it off-centre on a dark green piece of background paper. The sentiment is a mix of a Gummiapan die cut (a few of them glued together for dimension) and a Mathia Design text stamp. A few Altenew dots to bring in the peach colour of the the colouring finished off the look.
I love making Christmas cards and try to make them all year around. Then, if something happens that prevent me from making loads in November and December, I will still have a fair few to send out at Christmas. So, needless to say, I’ve already made a start on this year’s cards already! Here is Rupert, he is making a snowman. I have paired him with the large mountains stamp, both from the Stacey Yacula collection over at Purple Onion Designs. I do love winter themed Christmas cards!
Ok, so the blog has been neglected for a couple of months at least. There are two very simple reasons for that: I don’t really like blogging and I haven’t had time. I will try to do better now though. In fact, I have quite a few cards to show you. Maybe I’ll even try to do a card a day in February! We’ll see, haha.
Here is one of my most recent cards. I love Stacey Yacula’s images and this stamp is just awesome. I grew up with a plane enthusiast and I wish I could have made this card for him. It is great though, so I will make loads of cards with it! The stamp is by Purple Onion Designs and is called T-bird. He is flying in the sunrise over the Mountains.
And yes, I’m now a full-time member of the Purple Onion Designs DT. Be prepared for loads more cuteness in the months to come!
