Elf Avery with Candy Cane & Reindeer Ellie with Ornament

 Hello Crafty Friends, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. I am just popping in today to share 2 more Christmas cards before we ring in the new year.

Today I am sharing some D.T. inspiration for The Paper Nest Dolls & Xpress-It, using the digital stamps called Elf Avery with Candy Cane & Reindeer Ellie with Ornament, and some glitter deco tape.

For my cards I have created a 5x7 mat base. I then coloured my images & trimmed to size. For my Elf Avery card I cut a strip of paper slightly smaller than my base & stuck down 2 strips of each colour of Glitter Deco Tape. I then glued die cut letters on top to make my "MERRY" sentiment. You can see a video of how I did this on Instagram here.

For my Reindeer Ellie card it was the same process using only one strip of the Glitter Deco Tape then after adding the Glitter Deco Tape I ran my cardstock through the die cutting machine using some bauble dies. I then added some glitter thread & gems to embellish.

Santa Snowman

Hello Crafty Friends, I am back again today with some more Christmas inspiration this time for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios. 

This time I am using a RAM Stamps image from the Penguin & Snowman - Snowy Christmas Collection, called "Penguin & Snowman: Santa Snowman"

 I started out by blending some alcohol markers onto X-press It Blending Card. Once this was dry I brushed lightly some X-press It Gold Size adhesive in small amounts where I wanted my Gold Leaf Flakes to go. After 10 minutes of curing I lightly brushed on my Gold Leaf Flakes over the areas I added the adhesive. I then created a 5x7 base to create my card using the blended base for the background before adding my coloured image on top to finish off with a die cut sentiment on top! I even added the Gold Leaf Flakes to the sentiment. I love how it turned out!

Copics:

Snowman: B79, V12, V15, V17, Y35, Y38

Penguin: C0, C1, C3, C7, C9

Squirrel: E21, E23, E25

North Pole Mini Santa

Hello Crafty Friends, I am back today with some D.T. inspiration for the Paper Nest Dolls.

Mr & Mrs Clause

 Hello Crafty Friends, it's the first day of Summer & we are officially in December! Yay it's my favourite month of the year & the count down to Christmas has officially begun. 

Today is also release day over at Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios with a new collection called "Holly Jolly Christmas" with 4 new adrable digi stamps along with a coordinating "Holly Jollly Christmas" digital pattern paper pack. 

For my card today I have used the "Mr & Mrs Clause" digital stamp from the new release. Isn't it just one of the most adorable images of Mr & Mrs Clause you have ever seen? I imagine Santa giving Mrs Clause one last cuddle before he takes off on his big day!

I started out by printing the Ho Ho Ho & Multi Gingham digital printed papers onto some X-Press it paper. Then I cut to size starting with a 5"x7" base & worked my way up layering the stack. I then printed the "Mr & Mrs Clause" digital stamp using the sentiment from the "Holly Jolly Elf" digital stamp. After colouring my image & adhering down onto my base I finished off my card using a holly die with some red sprinkles to embellish.

Australian Birds

 Hello Crafty Friends, let me tell you a story. Last year I decided to plant some pretty Sunflowers to make a happy border at the edge of my veggie patch. I used to love looking out my window seeing the beautiful big yellow flowers blooming............till one day a flock of Cockatoos decided to come feasting on them. Haha I still remember them flying off into the sunset, while still carrying whole sunflower heads & whatever else took their fancy, as I tried to shoo them away. Unfortunately I learn't the hard way, don't plant Sunflowers near your veggies!

Which brings me to my card I am sharing today using another one of the images from RAM Stamps  Aussie Christmas set. It features the "Australian Birds" digital stamp. These cute little guys don't look like they want to feast in my garden!

I coloured my image with Some Uniball Signo glitter pens & Copics on some X-Press It Blending Card. I then printed the gum leaves paper from the "Aussie Christmas" coordinating papers. I trimmed my coloured image to fit onto a layer of green glitter cardstock leaving a thin edge on the bottom & top. I placed this onto a die cut border & finished off by placing of top of a 5x7 base of my printed paper.

Copics:

Branch & Leaves: W00, W1, G0000, G05

Kookaburra: E30, E31, T0, T3, T4

Wren: RV00, RV02

Light Up Emu

 Hello Crafty Friends, the one thing I truly love about living in Australia is the beauty of our adorable native animals unique to this country. Last month RAM Stamps released an Aussie Christmas set with 4 new digi stamps of some of our favourite furry friends along with a coordinating "Aussie Christmas" digital paper pack. 
 

For my card today I have used "Light Up Emu". Love how his little Koala friend rides on his back!

I coloured my image with Some Uniball Signo glitter pens & Copics on some X-Press It Blending Card. I then printed the holly paper from the "Aussie Christmas" coordinating papers. I trimmed my coloured image to fit onto a 5x7 base leaving some space on the left for my coloured paper. I then cut a 2cm strip of my coloured printed paper & a thin strip of some red glitter paper for a pretty edge. Lastly I glued my coloured paper strips into place & embellished with some red sprinkles.

Copics:

Santa Hat: R24, R27, R29, Silver Glitter Pen
