Warm and Cozy Christmas

Well, I guess I have moved on from Halloween and Fall cards to cards for the Holiday season. I can't believe it is the middle of October and I know the rest of the year will fly by. The card I am posting today is based on the sketch challenge at Get Sketchy and the color combo is this week's challenge at Color Throwdown. I love these colors together!

This cute image is from Gina K. It is colored with copics, the hat and scarf are paper pieced, and I applied glitter with a glue pen to the snow. The pretty DP is from Memory Box and the edges are sponged with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Tea Dye. The border punch is Martha Stewart. Then I added lace to the bottom.

I always finish the inside of my cards but I don't usually post them. But I love how this sentiment goes so cute with the stamp!

Warm and Cozy Christmas

Annual Christmas Card 2008

First, have you checked out Gina K's new venture!! Gina K Designs PRESENTS Stamp TV. Gina has created a whole site devoted to stamping. Through her quality broadcast videos, she demonstrates how to perform stamping techniques...so you can see it AS you create. The videos are very well done, and I have to say, even though I have been paper crafting for many, many years, I learned something new! There are new challenges everyday and a chance to win a free stamp set.

So this scrapbook page is my first challenge. One of my goals this year is to scrapbook! I have become so hooked on making card that I have been ignoring my scrapbooking. My second goal is to use the stamps that have to scrapbook rather than buy more embellishments! So this is the perfect challenge.

I used my Gina K Magic of Christmas stamp set. I colored the reindeer with my copics. I used the four snowflakes from the set and sprinkled them with glitter and I used a variety of SU circle punches to punch them out. Some of the snowflakes are popped up on dimensionals! Then I added rhinestones to the centers of the snowflakes. The border edge punch is Martha Stewart's snowflakes and I sponged some of the edges with SU Riding Hood Red ink.

Thanks for stopping by,
