Happy Holidays

Merry Christmas Eve and Happy Holidays to everyone! It's Betty here on the blog. Today I'm sharing this adorable card using the digital snow couple stamp from the Snow Globe Bundle from Paper Nest Dolls.

Happy Holidays from Eskimo Ellie

Hi PND Fans. It's Betty here today. Paper Nest Dolls came out with quite a few new releases for December and I just love this little Eskimo girl named Eskimo Ellie. She reminded me of my daughter when she was little. I used the digital stamp, but it also comes in red rubber (will be out soon). I made a holiday card, but this stamp can be used for many other occasions. 

For this A6 card, I first printed the stamp 3-1/2" tall then I colored her with Copic markers. To make the fur trim around her clothing, I used a white gel pen and drew in some wacky lines. I trimmed the paper to 2-3/4"W x 4-1/8"H then matted it with lavender colored cardstock, keeping a 1/8" border. 

Copic markers used:

Skin: E13, E11, E21, E00

Cheeks: R20

Hair: T7, T5, T3

Purple: BV01, BV00, BV000, BV0000

Black boots: T7, T5, T3

Seal: C3, C1, C00

Ice: B01, B000

I used snowflake patterned paper from Hobby Lobby and matted it with lavender colored cardstock, keeping a 1/8" border. 

I created the sentiment using MS-Word, then trimmed it and cut a dovetail. I also added a lavender cardstock mat to the sentiment. 

To finish the card, I added three snowflakes from Hobby Lobby. 

Thank you for stopping by today and hope you give this card a try! It's so easy and fun to color! ~Betty~

Christmas Angel Ellie with Amanda

 

Hey crafty friends!  It's Amanda Fitterer here with another fun Christmas card!  Do you have your holiday cards finished?  I made this sweet little Christmas Angel Ellie for my Granny.  She is the one who got me into cardmaking many many years ago!  Chances are I won't get to see her for Christmas this year so I wanted to send her something special.

I started with the digital stamp Christmas Angel Ellie and printed her on 80# Neenah Solar White Cardstock.  I colored her with Copic markers.

Once I had her all colored in, I cut her out with detail scissors.  I also created a background for the card using the Hello Bluebird Frames #4 and Welcome Santa Paper Pack from Dress My Craft.

I adhered everything to the card base using 3D foam squares and strips.  Easy peasy!  Here's another photo of the finished card!

Hope you all have a safe, healthy, and fun Christmas!  Xoxo, Amanda
