Christmas Stampin All Year Long - Lil Snowman

Good morning friends, it is Friday and time for another challenge at Christmas Stampin All Year Long.  This week our sponsor is Bugaboo Stamps.  One winner will win 7 digi images from Bugaboo Stamps.  Our challenge is "Anything Goes" - Sparkle and Shine - use gems, glitter, etc. 
 

I am using the Lil Snowman Star digi image from our sponsor, Bugaboo Stamps. Isn't he just the cutest little snowman?

This second photo shows the glitter on the dots in his scarf and the star (which I added with a Sakura Clear Glitter Gel Pen) and the red glitter paper circles on the sentiment banner. 

I did the sentiment on my computer and cut it out with a die from MFT Blueprints 2 Die-namics.  I cut it half way and then moved the die down and finished cutting it to make it long enough to reach across my card.  The image is cut with MFT Pierced Circle Stax and the mat is cut with MFT Circle Stax 2.  I stamped some tiny snowflakes from SU Serene Snowflakes (retired) in SU Bashful Blue ink around the snowman.  He is mounted with foam dimensionals. The DSP is from Pebbles Welcome Christmas 6x6 pad and the cardstock is MFT Smooth White and Electric Red. The white panel is embossed with a Cuttlebug Snowflake EF.

 

I used the Seize the Sketch #15 for my layout.

 

Now be sure to check out all the fabulous projects by my fellow Design Team members at the Christmas Stampin All Year Long blog.  I hope you will join us. Can't wait to see what you create.

 

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,

Merry Monday Christmas Card Club #74

 

 

Good Sunday morning my blogging friends.  Just a quick post of my card for the Merry Monday Christmas Card Club #74- use green and white and woodgrain.  I printed this cute Christmas Ava digital image from Bugaboo Stamps on X-Press It Blending Card and colored her with Copics and Promarkers.  I added some Stickles to her wings but it doesn't show up very well in the photo.  All the green paper is from the Recollections Festivites Christmas pad.  I used the Tim Holtz Woodgrain EF for the white panel.  The sentiment is from SU Teeny Tiny Wishes.  I used Spellbinders Tag die to mount the sentiment on.  The ribbon is from SU.

 

Thanks for stopping by.  I appreciate your comments.

 

Happy Stamping,

Graduation cards

 

Here are two graduation cards I made last week.  I used these two sweet digital images from Bugaboo Stamps and use blue and white which are our school colors.  Both images are printed on X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copics. Card bases are Canvas Corp Heavy Cardstock from Hobby Lobby.

 

Boy Grad:  After coloring the image, I cut him out and mounted him with foam dimensionals on a Spellbinder's Classic Oval die cut from MME DSP.  The light blue DSP is some older paper I have.  The blue mats are SU Brilliant Blue CS.  The sentiment on both cards is from SU Itty Bitty Banners stamped in Brilliant Blue ink and cut out by hand.  I added a Metallic Dots from JoAnn's to each corner of the BB CS strip.  I stamped each number individually in the "2013" with MFT LLD-Journal It Calendar Basics.

 

Girl Grad:  After coloring the image with Copics, I cut her out with Spellbinder's Classic Ovals and matted her on SB Scalloped Oval.  All blue mats are some older DSP from my stash, the other side is a print.  The large white panel is stamped in Basic Gray ink with SU En Francis background stamp.  The decorative strip is made with SU Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch.  I added 4 rhinestones colored with a Copic in the 4 corners.  Again, the 2013" is stamped with MFT LLD-Journal It Calendar Basics in Mememto Tuxedo Black ink.
