Happy Holidays Series | ft. Mama Elephant "Reindeer Games"

Hi everyone, thank you for stopping by. I hope you're having a great day.

Today I thought I would take a little break from the Lawn Fawn stamps (don't worry, there will be many more from them this season) and showcase the Reindeer Games stamp set by Mama Elephant.

I think this set came out last year, and do you think I could get my hands on it? Nope! This set was out of stock for months and months. I finally got a hold of it this year in August or maybe September. While the wait was incredibly frustrating, I am glad I persisted. I love these little guys.

To begin, I stamped all my reindeer using the MISTI so I could get perfect placement, with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on 110lb Copic-friendly cardstock. I then stamped the little star to fill in some of the gaps. I coloured all the images in with Copic markers.

I used Wink of Stella clear glitter pen on their tags and the stars then covered them with Glossy Accents by Ranger.

I stamped the greeting from Lawn Fawn on a strip of paper and then created a matted border using dark green cardstock for both the strip and the coloured panel.

I adhered everything to the front of a standard A2 sized card base.

I hope you like today's card and are inspired to create something of your own. If you haven't already, please follow me on the right side bar or over on Facebook, so you don't miss any future posts. Drop me a line in the comments section below and let me know what you think.

Winter and Holiday Card Series 2015 - Card 19

After weeks of making blue and silver themed snowflake cards, it was really nice to just sit and play. I got this stamp set last year, but never really had an opportunity to use it.

While going through my stash, I came across it and just had to open it up. I knew I wanted to create banners with the little guys wishing Happy Holidays, it quickly came together, somehow it's always a quick thing when the focus and the greeting are the same.

The tone on tone background was made with an "ugly sweater" boarder stamp. The longer the card sat, the more the ink faded into the paper creating a very subtle background paper.

Tone on tone "ugly sweater" background with raised die cut gingerbread man banners on gold thread with gold embossed greeting and 4mm sequin accents.

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for visiting today.

Today's card is more on the whimsical side. This adorable snowman wishes you all a very Happy Holidays!

I've coloured him with copics, adding white glitter for the pompom and the fur on his cap.
