May the Spirit of Christmas...

This week's challenge on Sparkle Creations Weekly Christmas Challenge Blog is "No Colouring". I loved this challenge!

I bought these beautiful stamps from Inkadinkado at least 4 years ago and they have never touched an ink pad until now. This card came together in 20 minutes and I love it.

The patterned papers are from BoBunny's Midnight Frost 6 x 6 paper pack and the cardstock is Stampin' Up's Night of Navy.

The embossing was done with Stampendous' Pearlustre Alexandrite embossing powder. I embellished with Stamping Bella Dots, Stampin' Up Night of Navy ribbon, Amuse rhinestones & Waterfall Stickles.

The "Season's Greetings" stamp is from Stampin' Up's "Snow Swirled" stamp set and the rest of the stamps are from Inkadinkado.

To My Prince

This is the birthday card that I made my husband this year. His birthday was January 2nd.

I have had this idea in my head ever since Kraftin' Kimmie came out with the Princess line of stamps. I was going to make a friendship card and have a deer & other woodland creatures with Snow White. Then Kraftin' Kimmie came out with this Prince stamp and this is what I created instead.

The patterned papers are from Imaginisce's 6 x 6 Apple Cider paper pack & I used various Core'dinations cardstock.

The brads are from Die Cuts with a View and the ribbon is from Fabricland.

I used the Classic Oval Small & Large and Petite Oval Small & Large Nestabilities, the Tinkerbell Cricut Cartridge for the tree and EK Success' small yellow circle punch for all the apples in the tree.

The "Happy Birthday" stamp is from CTMH's Happy Holidays Set and all the rest of the stamps are from Kraftin' Kimmie.

I have entered this card in this week's Kraftin' Kimmie's Fairytale Challenge.

Yes, Trevor loved his card and he always appreciates my effort.

Happy Birthday Ronny!

Today is my cousin's birthday and this is one of the cards that I made him. He is an avid fisherman, hunter & just loves the outdoors.

I hadn't inked my new "Curtis" stamp from Kraftin' Kimmie and thought that this would be a great time to do so. The "Happy Birthday" is from CTMH & the inside sentiment is from Stampin' Up.

The patterned papers are from Reminisce's Making the Grade line and the cardstock is Bazzill's Crabapple Dark, Sawdust & Twilight Dark.

I used the Labels Small & Large Nestabilities and the googly eye & ribbon are from my stash.

Copic Markers Used: Hair, Boots & Fishing Rod - E29, E79 & E27, Skin - E00 & E000, Fish & Reel - YG95, YG93, YG 91 & YG0000, Overalls - BV29 & B99 and Shirt - R59.

Autumn's Cheer Birthday Card

Here is the second card that I made for my 13 year old cousin, Autumn. She is on her school's cheerleading team and their school colours are purple, black & white.

The papers are an old Heidi Grace line & the cardstock is Bazzill. I used Scrapbook Sally & Die Cuts with a View brads, Stampin' Up Ribbon & Kaiser Craft Black Rhinestones in the middle of the pom poms.

The image stamp is from The Greeting Farm, the circle "Happy Birthday" is from Stampin' Up, the number "13" is from CTMH's Golden Years Stamp Set & the inside sentiment is from Hero Arts.

I used the Peony & Circle Nestabilities for my shaped die cuts and one of EK Success' large border punches for the inside of the card.

Copic Markers used: Black - 100; Skin - E00 & E000; Hair - Y35, YR31 & Y32 and Purple - BV02, BV31 & V01.

Happy 2nd Birthday Carmyn!

Here is one of the cards that I made for my 2 year old cousin, Carmyn. I make one from Trevor, Amy, Sparkle & I and one from my grandparents.

This stamp made me think of her because she loves hugging her stuffed animals & dolls. When she gets a new huggable toy, that is the first thing she does once it is out of the wrapper....give it a big hug.

The patterned papers are from Basic Grey's Euphoria 6 x 6 paper pack & the cardstock is Bazzill Fussy.

I used Prima Marketing flowers, Scrapbook Sally brads & Embroidery Floss from my stash. I used Oval Nestabilities & a Bazzill Stitchz template to do the stitching.

The image stamp is from The Greeting Farm and the "Happy Birthday" sentiment stamp is from Stampendous and the "Be Silly and Have Fun" sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Copic Markers used: Hair - Y35, YR31 & Y32, Skin - R00 & R000, Purple - V15 & B12, Deep Pink - RV19 and Light Pink - RV11 & RV02.

I'm Nuts About You!

My first Christmas Card for 2011! Thank you Sparkle!

Amy & I have made it our New Year's Resolution to do Sparkle Creations Weekly Christmas Card Challenge. Amy participated in one two weeks ago, but this is my first one. This is my interpretation of this week's challenge; which is a Sketch Challenge.

Last week the challenge was to use a snowman and the week before was to use any type of embossing. I still plan on doing those challenges, but after I get some more birthday cards & February's Calendar page done.

I used Imaginisce's Cottage Christmas 6 x 6 paper pack and Bazzill Barkley & Hillary cardstock. The brads are from Die Cuts with a View.

All of the stamps are from Kraftin' Kimmie. I used an EK Success border punch on the inside and circle Nestabilities on the front of the card.

Copic Markers Used: Brown - E74 & E79; Red - E07; Orange - YR14 and Green - G99 & YG03.

I had a fabulous evening with Amy & she now wants to make it our Friday Night thing; which is just fine with me.
