Simple Christmas Card

Here is another quick and easy Christmas card using a stamp set that wouldn't normally lend itself to Christmas cards.

The mistletoe is the watercolour joy stamp upside down- I saw this done on someone else's blog- but now I can't find the link again! The background is Crumbcake and the image is from the Contempo Christmas set. The season's greeting saying is from the set "Four the Holidays".
Happy New Year to everyone!
All the best for the upcoming year,

Sarah

Another Penguin card!

I've really been loving all the penguin cards made using the owl punch and decided to try one of my own. Here it is:

 

Aren't they just adorable! The wings are added from the five petal flower punch. The snowflakes are from the Punch Pals stamp set and the merry Christmas is from Contempo Christmas.

Thanks for stopping by!

Penguin Christmas Card

I've seen a few versions of these penguins floating around and decided to try making a few- they were quite a hit at our card sale in November!
Here it is:

Isn't he cute! I tried adding a few highlights with the white signlo pen, but I'm not sure I like the beak ones... Here is another one with a different coloured ornament.

 

He's pretty cute too! They were really easy to mass produce. The background is stamped with the Northern Flurries set from the occasions Mini (Sales period ends Jan 3) on Bashful Blue. The penguin is die cut with the Top note die and the wings are made with the Large Oval punch. Feet are the scallop circle punch cut into 3 scallop sections- eyes are the 1/2" circle and the beak is the small oval cut in half. 

Hope you are having a great day- Thanks for stopping by!

Merry Christmas!

A quick post to say Merry Christmas to everyone! I know I'm a day late.... :-)
Here's a quick and easy card I made for Christmas:

 

Stamps are from the Snow Swirled set- in Marina Mist, Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler- with a little bling in the middle of the largest snowflakes for an added touch! Hope you are having a great holiday season.

Santa Bag

There has been a very cute little Santa Card being posted on lots of blogs in the last couple of weeks- I had cased him and then was asked to make a bag with this Santa as the front. Here is the Santa card:

 

He is such a cutie! Now here is what I came up with for the bag:

I used the PDF bag tutorial from Angela McKay for the bag and adjusted the Santa face to fit the front of the bag. My customer really liked them!

Occasions mini sneak peek!

Here is a quick sneak peek to a very cool new item in the up-coming Occasions Mini (sales period- Jan 4-Apr 30th). The card was very easy to make and so much fun!

Catty Case

I have been looking through the current Idea Book and Catalogue for inspiration and came upon a design that I liked. Here is the card:

I changed the colours of the card- but kept most of the exact same pieces in place. I really do love this stamp set! Contempo Christmas has to be one of my favorite Christmas stamp sets this year!

Sparkly Bells and Boughs Card

Hopefully if everything goes as planned I will be back up and running with my blog! Sorry I've been MIA for so long! Here is a card that I made recently:

I used the set Bells and Boughs stamped in Cherry Cobbler and used a blender pen to blend the colour into the pointsettias. There is a little gold glitter in the middle of some of the flowers. I used an Old Olive marker for the pine needles and to finish it off- tied on the Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding ribbon.
