No Christmas card today! I just love this stamp from Lili of the Valley ... a little girl playing dress up and watering Momma's plant. I don't often do distressing but felt the paper and image called out for it.

I colored the stamp with Copics and used Liquid Pearls on the pearl necklace and bracelet. There are Stickles on the centers of the flowers and on the water. The flower is made with the three smallest Nestibilites in the blossom set. The pearls are Kaiser Craft and the pearl brad on the flower is from The Hobby House.

Blue Snowman

Yep, I'm on a snowman kick lately.

The stamp is from Whipper Snapper and I colored it with Copics. I did faux stitching around the image and the felt snowflakes are from SU!. The tiny buttons on the snowman are from some candy that I won so I don't know where they're from. I do know that they're a pain to work with because they're so tiny! The paper is digital paper and I'm not sure where I got it.

Turquoise and Brown Snow People

I wanted to do a winter card in non-traditional colors and then I found this wonderful digi paper from Designer Digitals and knew it was perfect.

Let it Snow

Another Christmas/winter card! I'm really getting in the swing of them now. I've unearthed all my Christmas stamps, the few embellishments I have, and all my Christmas paper. So watch out!

The stamp is by Whipper Snapper and I colored it with Copics. The sentiment is by a small company for which I've forgotten the name. Snowflake buttons are old from my stash and the DP is Papermania. I used black brads for the buttons on all the snowmen. The CS is Bazzill.

A Rose for Sympathy

This is a sympathy card for my best friend. She has lost three loved ones in the past 5 months. I can't even imagine what she's going through.

The stamp is from SU! and I colored it with Copics. I'm not sure who manufactured the other stamp. The DP is Papermania and the pearls are from Kaiser Craft.

Christmas Every Day

I know, I know it seems a tad early for Christmas cards. But I love making Christmas cards and my Christmas stamps were calling out to me.

The mouse stamp and the sentiment are both Penny Black. I colored the image with Copics and added white glitter to the snow, although you can't really see it in the picture. The white panel is a Cuttlebug embossing folder and the snowflakes are a combination of Martha Stewart and another punch (not sure who makes it). The DP is Lasting Impressions and it's about 6 years old.

Little Kisses

What a cute little couple! This stamp is called "Young Love" and it's from Funky Kits. The DP is Basic Grey, the lace is from my stash, and the little squares are from Pezadoodle. I colored the image with Copics.

Box Full of Smiles

This week the challenge over at Fairy Fun Fridays is 3D. You can make a card with a 3D element but I decided to take the challenge literally and make a box full of smiles. What is a box full of smiles you ask? It's a box made out of paper with a mirror in the bottom so when someone removes the lid and looks inside, they see themselves and smile.

I made the box with Bazzill CS. The decorative paper on the box is from a packet I got on sale at Target ages ago. The flower on top is an image from Prairie Fairy Designs that I colored with Copics. I created the sentiment on my computer and the ribbon is from Michael's.

In this picture you can see the mirror in the bottom of the box.

Garden Fairy

Awww, isn't she precious? She's one of the Pure Innocence collection. I found the artist on Etsy selling digi images but lost the link. My Favorite Things also sells stamps by the artist.

I colored the image with Copics and the DP is from Papermania. The flowers are roses from Wild Orchid Crafts. They are originally white and I colored them with my Copics to match my colors.

In the Dog House

I have collected some dog stamps and this is one of them. The dog looks so patient waiting by his dog house. Maybe waiting for his boy to come home from school?

The stamp is by Penny Black and I colored it with Copics. I got the DP ages ago at Michael's and got the ribbon from a store on Etsy that I lost the link for. I cut out the image with Nestibilities.
