Merry Tiddly Christmas

I’ve coloured up one of my favourite Tiddly Inks images for this card. I’ve done a no-line version to make her hair look blonde. The card is a red and white version, keeping other colours to a minimum. The coloured image has been cut out by hand and put on foam tape to be raised up from the card.

The snowy background frame is my Mama Elephant and I’ve used a Lawn Fawn sentiment die (in a few layers glued together) with a Simon Says Stamp premade white on black sentiment. A few red sequins from Picket Fence Studios (affiliate link) finished off the card together with a couple of stripes of red card stock.

Here is a side-on view so you can see the layers better. You can also I used red card stock for the card base.

RAM MFT Snow Sweet

Today’s card is pretty simple. It is a partially coloured panel, raised off the light grey card base with foam tape, then several layers of the sentiment raises that again off the panel. The stamp is a Rachelle Anne Miller illustrated one by My Favorite Things and is called Snow Sweet. The sentiment die is by Mama Elephant, and the snowflakes are by Picket Fence Studios.

Blue James

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.

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!

PFS New Release and a Merry Good Gnome

It is new release day at Picket Fence Studios (this and all links in this post are affiliate links)! I’ve had fun playing with it and opted for blues for my first card this time. I’ve coloured up the Merry Good Gnome and used the matching die to cut him out. Then I popped some foam tape on his pack and put him aside while I was playing.

First I inked up the background in two shades of blue. I stuck with the bottom right side of the card and deliberately made the edges look rough and bold before I used the Paper Glaze Snowdrop White on the snowflakes from the Fancy Christmas Tree blending stencil. While that was drying I cut out two of the Slim Line Giant Christmas Trees. I cut them to different heights and placed them onto the card before gluing the gnome on top. The Animal Crackers A Penguin Christmas has some nice and small sentiments so I used one of those, and the matching die, for a small sentiment in the bottom right hand corner. At the end I placed three shiny snowflakes from Santa’s Cookies sequins mix plus.

You can see that the snowflakes from the sequin mix have a completely different look when the light hits differently. Here they are much more subtle. Loving it!

And a little close-up! See the cool shiny snowflake?
