Christmas Gift Bag

Hiya! So the snow storm that was supposed to hit us last night didn't actually make it! It snowed just enough to make tiny specks of white on the grass. But the wind was so strong! I guess I have to accept that I won't have a White Christmas.

Anyway, I have a Christmas Gift bag to share with you.  I used the stamp that was a free gift from Xmas Magnolia Ink 2012. I love this stamp because it's so versatile. You can use it for a Christmas card, a birthday card or any occasion card...especially for those who have/love dogs.

I colored the image weeks ago with Copic Sketch Markers (which I didn't take note of). I used a Magnolia DooHickeys (Memory Tag, Twisted Swirl) Lifestyle Craft Snowflakes Die, MS Branch Punch and a Label Nestabilities. THe DP is from Magnolia. The 2 small roses and Red Crystal Stems are from WOC and the poinsettia is from Hero Arts. The rose trim is from Maya Road and the rest of the details/embellishments are from my stash.

Ok I think I have one more CAS Christmas Card to share. I'm sure I have a few more which I have not shared yet but the pictures are probably in my other computer so when I do find them (hopefully before Christmas), I will share them with you!

 

Have a warm and wonderful Christmas everyone!

Tilda with Violin 2

Hi there Stamping friends! It's been 290 days since the last snowfall here in Chicago. And it's gonna end today! This afternoon, we are expecting a winter storm and about 2-6 inches of snow. Are we prepared for the snow? Yes, we are! I have some carrots, a hat, some twigs, gloves and an old scarf... We are prepared to make a snowman! LOL Every winter, me and my son make a snowman in front of our house. I'm hopping this time we can make a big one.

For my card today, I have Holy Tilda with Violin from the Nativity Collection 2012.  I colored TIlda with Copics and I used a very light ink pad to color the image.  I wanted to get that no-lines effect but my ink was not light enough to blend with the Copics. This was one of my first no-lines technique tries and I just forgot to share this...now that it is on a card. 

I was aiming for a neutral, cream and brown color combo 

with a little touch of light blue (from the DP), Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, I used dies from Tim Holtz, Magnolia DooHickeys and Cheery Lynn

I have a couple more cards to share before Christmas and I made my last Christmas card for my Magnolia Advent Calendar  shutter which you we see a couple days after Christmas.

To those of us who will be hit by the "Thunder Snow Storm" this afternoon, PLEASE be careful and drive safe.

I'll be back again tomorrow with another card!

Thanks for visiting!

Edwin Christmas Card

As I promised, I have another card to share today and once again it's blue! 

This time I used Edwin with Windling Fern from the Christmas Story Collection and I colored him with  Copic Sketch Markers.

The beautiful flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

 
A closer look at Edwin.
