Isn't this snowman just too cute?! He's a little retro and I think he looks like Frosty the Snowman. I found sheet music to Frosty the Snowman on the Internet, printed it out, crinkled it up, smudged some blue ink on the edges and glued it onto my card.

The image is from Stampin' Up! and I colored it with Copics, what there was to color. It's hard to see but there's some white glitter on the ground to look like snow. The DP is digital paper.

Santa!

I think this is just a beautiful Santa. I can't remember who makes the stamp but I use it every Christmas even though it's pretty big and it's difficult to fit any embellishments around it.

I colored the image with Copics, matted it with Bazzill CS, and used digital DP. The rhinestones are from KaiserCraft. I used a silver Spica pen on the bell and Sparkly Fluff on the white part of his hat. That's it; pretty simple.

Copic colors:
Beard - C2
Hat and berries - R27, R24, R22
Holly leaves - G99, G94, G82
Face - E11, E00, E000, R20

Whiff of Joy Christmas

I got this stamp last year from Whiff of Joy and although I love it, it is problematic because it's so big. I usually make cards that are 5.5 x 4.25 or 5.5 x 5.5. To accommodate the large image I had to make a card that measures 9 x 4 which will fit in a business size envelope. Please note that the actual image only has one reindeer pulling her sled but I like to stamp the image twice, cut out just the reindeer, and pop it up on 3D dots so there are two reindeer.

I colored the image with Copics. The DP is K&Co and the cardstock is Bazzill. The snowflakes are Martha Stewart punches and I covered them with pink flocking. The charm is a sled from my stash. I covered the top edge of the sled in white glitter.

Copic colors:

Hat, coat, sled, and boots - R85, R83, R81

Scarf, mittens, skirt, and seat - G99, G94, G82

Shadow - C2

Hair - E35

Skin - E11, E00, E000, R20

Sorry, I didn't write down the colors I used on the reindeer

Ice Skating

When I saw this image last spring I just had to have it. I've had to wait patiently until I could use it (I know it's still a little early for winter scenes but I couldn't wait anymore!).

The image is from Phindy's Place and I colored it with Copics. Both the border punch and the snowflakes are by Martha Stewart. The roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts. They are origianlly white but I colored them with a Copic marker to match. The rhinestones are Kaiser Craft and I got them HERE. The ear muffs where done with liquid applique.

Copics used:
Skirt, leggings, mittens, and scarf - R85, R83, R81
Coat - B97, B95, B93, B91
Roses - R81
Skates - C2
Hair - Y23
Skin - E11, E00, E000, R20

Call Me

I thought the wall on this My Favorite Things image called out for some kind of pattern so I paper pieced it with Basic Grey paper and I think it looks like very chic wallpaper.

I colored the image with Copics and all the DP is Basic Grey. The "flower" was made with the blossom Nestibilities. I used the three smallest dies and then crumpled each layer and put a pearl brad in the center. The pearl brad is from The Hobby House.

Copics used:

Skin - E11, E00, E000
Pants and chair - B97, B95, B93, B91, C02
Shirt and carpet - G99, G94, G82
Phone - R85, R81

Holly Hedgie

I just love these hedgehog stamps and I especially love this one with the holly.

A real CAS card, the image was colored with Copics. The holly berries got a healthy amount of Crystal Effects. The holly leaves I got at Michael's but am not sure of the manufacturer. The DP is digital paper. The cardstock is Papertrey Ink.

Copics used:
Hedgie - C05, C03
Berries - R27, R24, R22
Leaves - G99, G94, G82

Merry Kissmas

When I saw this image I knew I had to have it! It's from my favorite digi artist, Prairie Fairy Designs and it's super fun to color.

I colored the image with Copics and added Crystal Effects to her glasses. The white trim on her coat and hat is polar white Flowersoft. I made the sentiment on my computer. The image and the red scallops around it were cut using Nestibilities.
