Stempel Spass

Hi, I had fun using this great sketch from The Deconstructed Sketch  and my brand new Paper Smooches set Chubby Chums. That reindeer just cracks me up and the sentiment - just fabulous! I colored the reindeer with Copics and mounted it onto Kraft. Some twine and the background paper I embossed with the subtle PTI canvas impression plate (the other side of the linen plate..) It does not really show in the picture, but it looks really good in real life. Much better than smooth card stock... I added that little red kiss... I will also put this card into the   Rudolph Day  challenge for November and my all time favorite place -  the  Snippets Playground - basically everything except the white background were snippets and  Catered Crops  - Animal House recipe swap Ribbon Carousel  - Holiday and Celebration Have a great evening and thanks for coming by!

Another wreath card -  after I made the wreath card for the Festive Friday challenge, I discovered that the sketch from My Favorite Things is kind of similar to what I did, but did not quite cut it...But I like the card so much, that I decides to just make a second one, similar to the first.  Again I just two different kind of shimmer paper to cut the wreath - this time one of them was more glitzi. I underlayed the wreath with glitter paper - the bow is again from a paint swatch.  I added little dots of liquid pearls and a pearl for the bow. The sentiment is from Mama Elephant Merry Greetings. Here in the close-up you can kind of see how the whole card just shimmers and glitters - it is very pretty. I think I like it even more than the fist card... I am also linking this card up with  Snippets Playground  - use a snippet Rudolph's Day Inkspirational  - wreath Festive Friday challenge  - wreath ...

I recently go that beautiful wreath from My favorite Things and its just perfect for the Festive Friday challenge , where is wreath is wanted.... I used two different tones of shimmer paper, some Stickles and a pearl on the bow. The sentiment is from  Mama Elephant - Merry Greetings - isn't it beautiful? And guess what - I used some snippet - the bow is from a paint swatch. You know what that means - the card is going into the Snippets Playground .... I will also link it up with Rudolph's Day  and Inkspirational - the challenge is wreath and CAS on Sunday  and lastly with Simon Says Monday challenge - Anything goes

Now that's a Fun Challenge hosted by the Crafty Laydee  - to make a Christmas Card without Christmas Stamps!  I went with a tree - so many stamps can be assembled into a tree, so this was really easy. I inked up Papertrey's Tiny Triangles with my Kaleidocolor ink pad. The star I made from a feather in the TAWS - Bird Brain set and the sentiment is an ancient Paper Source stamp - I also inked it up with two colors. Some Stickles to add some glitz... I am also submitting this card to the  CHNC challenge , the CHNC stamp, stamp stamp challenge  and the September Rudolph Day link

Festive Friday 's theme is Holiday card with a children's theme. Well, that can be anything playful I guess. I really liked the inspiration picture, but could not come up with anything that worked, so I took a completely different approach in the end.  I punched two circles into white card stock, stamped, colored and fuzzy cut the reindeer (Hero Arts Christmas Reindeer). Choose some matching background paper and used some of my washi tape. The strip with "Merry Christmas" is just patterned paper. This card was a lot more work than it looks like. I usually don't spend so much time on my cards....But its cute, I think! I am also linking it up with  Simon Says Anything Goes challenge Rudolph Day Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge
