Merry Christmas Kiddles

My Digital Delights card this week is this cute little Reindeer Kiddles Christmas card.


I tried something a little different this time.  I used two strips of ribbon to make it like a wrapped gift. I know lots of designers do that, it's just different for me.

Paper: Bazzill brown, Digital Delights Totaly Tartan paper pack

Winter Scene with Robyn's Fetish

I made another scene featuring Robyn's Fetish images that I want to share with you.

 This time I used Gimp (freeware) to arrange the cottage on the page and I even flipped one of them.  The right front cottage is larger and the other two are successively smaller to show perspective. I printed the scene on Copic X-Press It paper.

I added two of my favorite Robyn's Fetish snowmen to the front yard of one of the houses.  The trees are from Stampscapes and Art Impressions - 243A, 085A, and the birds 302A are Stampscapes. Plenty of Stickles was used to add sparkle to the paths and the roofs of the cottages.

I colored the sky and paths with Panpastel Phthalo Blue Tint and then added a bit of green around the base of the trees. The trees were stamped with Momento green and Print Works Fern Green.  The houses and snowmen were colored with Copics.
Card Recipe
Images: Robyn's Fetish - Bella Snow Lady, Frosty da Snowman, Christmas Cottage, Stampscapes trees, Art Impressions trees, SU Teeny Tiny Wishes
Paper: Bazzill deep Green, X-Press It, SU Whisper White
Markers/Ink: Copics, PanPastels, Momento Black and Olive, Print Works Fern Green
Embellishments: Sizzix snowflake embossing folder, Stickles, SU Twine and label punches, 2 snowflake brads

Holiday Cheer at Love to Create

The theme this week at Love to Create is Holiday Cheer.  Our sponsor is Bugaboo and I made a fun card with a twist.  The image is a snowglobe so I thought I would make the card using a an Impression Obsession Shake It pouch.

I layered my designer paper on the outside of the card and then cut the circle using a large Spellbinder circle die. Next I cut my image to the right size that overlaps the circle cut in the card stock.  After a little coloring I sprinkled a very small amount of FlowerSoft on top of the image (I first tried more but it was too much to move around inside the globe). Then I added the plastic pouch and glued the two together around the edges.  This duo was slipped into the hole on the card and glued in place.  Lastly, I added the inside designer paper.

 To decorate the front I cut a Spellbinder scalloped circle and then cut a circle in the center so that it would fit over the plastic pouch.


Card Recipe:
Image:  Bugaboo Marshmellow Snowmen
Paper: Bazzill and  BasicGrey Aspen Frost
Markers/Inks: Copics
Embellishments: Spellbinders large circle and scalloped cirlce, Really Reasonable Ribbon, Impression Obsession Shake It pouch, FlowerSoft, Stickles

Winter Scene for Craft a Scene Challenge

Today I have a special card that combines a Robyn's Fetish digi image with Stampscapes and Spellbinders.  Mine was easy, but you should hope over to Craft a Scene and see what the rest of the design team came up with. They are all spectacular!

I sized and printed my image on Copic paper.  I figured out what size I wanted and then my stampscape image. I added the PanPastel color to the background sky and some hightlights for shadow under the sledder.  The main image was colored with Copics.
Card Recipe
Paper: Bazzill Teal, Little Yellow Bicycle - Skate Sratch
Markers/Ink: Copics, PanPastels, Momento Black and Olive
Embellishments: Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles, lace, Really Reasonable Ribbon, eyelet outlet brad, Prima Pearls, Stickles


Challenges for this card:

Have a Great Sunday!
