New Release of Christmas Images at All Dressed Up Stamps

 

This is the New Release for November from All Dressed Up Stamps-I'm using the image 

" PRESENT SURPRISE"

It's perfect for the Holidays!  

Thought I'd try and use one of my pre-scored Slimline Blanks so that I could use a new

Stamp with the "designed" trees as a background!  It worked perfectly- I just colored different shades of green with my copics.  I reduced the size of this cutie stamp so that it would fit but, as the 

images from ADU are digital that was an easy process.

I used dimensional dots to elevate the image for a shadow effect.  The Ho Ho Ho sentiment was also part of the clear acrylic stamp so Bonus!  A little bit of Posca white ink splattered on the card was a great snowy effect. The inside of the card was finished with a beautiful woodgrain effect paper and stamped with a perfect sentiment.

 

 

 

Cookie Girl digital image from All Dressed Up Stamps-NEW RELEASE

This is one of the 3 New Release images offered for December over at All Dressed Up Stamps!  She is called "Cookie Girl" and was a lot of fun to color and create with!  I really wish I could show you a better photo that shows the rich purple that is on both the design paper and cardstock but I can't seem to get my camera or editing program to cooperate!

I used a gingerbread cookie design paper for the top paper, cardstock for the bottom section, and used the backside of the DP to create a "ribbon" look across the middle.  I used 3D dimensional foam dots to highlight the image.  I always like to finish the inside of my cards, with lots of room for personal messages.  Sentiments are from clear stamps from my stash. 

Be sure and also check out the ADU Challenge that runs for a month, from the 14th to the 14th.  We'd love to see your creations and it's a great way to add to your digital library!  Can't wait to see you!

Frosty Smiles-New Friends digital image! Polkadoodles' latest Snowman Collection

 Hi Friends, Carolyn here bringing you my latest card from the Polkadoodles Snowman Collection found HERE!

The very back mat is a gorgeous Royal Purple, then a textured pine cone paper, then a die cut digital image.  I reversed the pine cone paper to a rich cocoa brown and black checked paper and used that as the double fishtail banner for the sentiment.

Frosty Smiles Collection at Polkadoodles- Hello Frosty Snowman is a great one for Valentine's Day

 One of the newest collections over at Polkadoodles is the "Frosty Smiles" group and this one is called Frosty Smiles-Hello Frosty Snowman.  The Bundle can be found at this link here. 

They come digitally, black & white or pre-colored.  This is one of my favorites in the group, colored with my fav medium, copics.

For the card, I put a strip in the middle of the design paper of glitter heavy cardstock.  I mounted the image that I'd brushed Milled Lavender Oxide around the edges in the center. Stamped a sentiment from my stash (edged in diamond stickles) and then went crazy with snowflakes everywhere!! Gradient design paper in  the inside with another stamped sentiment.

Winter is a time for Skating at All Dressed Up Stamps

It's time for the new month long Challenge over at All Dressed Up Stamps!!!  Hope you are all staying snug and warm in your homes, crafting away.  Perfect time for you to join us! 

 

 

The way Wendy Burns, our artist in residence, makes her figures so graceful that they are a joy to color.  This image is called Christmas Skater and can be found here.  I used Copics to color, a pine needle die cut for corner accents, paper and a stamp from my stash, and Radient Neon Amplify for the snow drops.  This medium, when heated after applying, will puff up but will be white when done, instead of a cream color!  On the inside, I finished it with some double sided paper from Echo Park and a great stamp for just about anything!

Hope you'll come over to our CHALLENGE and inspire us in the New Year.  It's a great way to win 3 images from the Shop!
