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.

 

 

 

It's the Start of my Christmas Cards with Paper Nest Dolls-Have you started YOUR list??

 I'm so excited that Christmas soon will be here...and a little terrified that it's closer than I think!  I love all the lights, trees, ornaments, family traditions...It's all part of the Magic.
I love this image from Paper Nest Dolls called Tree Dress Avery and she's helping me get my cards made for the Holidays.  I'm sorry that I couldn't get the lavenders and pinks to show up on this card as well as I wanted to but, her tree dress is so pretty with the pink and lavender ornaments and shimmer with a Wink of Stella clear.  I've been on a Frantage kick lately-hope it doesn't get snow heading our way!  There is a lavender Christmas Sentiment paper in the top half of the card and the bottom is a matching paper in beautiful ornaments of pinks, whites and soft purples.
On the inside is another ornament paper in the series and a stamped sentiment from my stash.  I hope this card will inspire you to start on YOUR cards also and take a trip to the Paper Nest Dolls shop to see all the delightful Holiday / Seasonal images that are available-  Best Wishes!

Christmas Cards but in a non-Traditional way-now at Squigglefly!

This is the most fun paper in limes, blues, lavenders so it fits perfect with the theme at Squigglefly this week!  We are to use NON-TRADITIONAL colors for a Christmas Card!  So I used lime green poinsettias with blue berries, lavender candles, blue tree skirt, gorgeous lime sheer wide ribbon-all so yummy!!  More of the paper on the inside with a wonderful stamped verse by Stampabilities.
THIS challenge has sparked my Christmas Festive Spirit and I think it's time to set my extra table set up, get all my card embellies out, and start a marathon session with Christmas music playing in the background!  How about you???  Come and join in the fun at Squigglefly and get your Holiday MOJO on!  You could win a prize if you use a SF image-Mine is called "Christmas Tree with Candles and Holly" by Pammie Lehto.  She would be a good starting place to get some images to use on your creations!

I'm CAMPING out at Doodle Pantry for some Ideas!

 I think this would be a great card to send to your "little camper" while they're away from home at Summer Camp! It's made using the Happy Trails Camper set from Doodle Pantry, newly released in July.  From the great woodland paper, to all the camping accessories that are included in the set--it's all very inspiring!  I added the white shape to represent the moon, piled on the sleeping rolls-popping one up for dimension.  Put a little sand colored Flower Soft around the Camp Fire.  The sentiments shown as well as the solid papers are all included in the set.  Today is the last day to get this set FREE with a purchase from Doodle Pantry-and they have so many options for you to choose from!  Thanks for stopping by!
