He Gnomes

  I have a few people on my Christmas card list who love gnomes so the "Santa's List" stamp from High Hopes Rubber Stamps was perfect for a card for one of them. High Hopes has a few different Christmas gnomes to choose from so it was a tough choice......but I will definitely be colouring more of them!

                           

I stamped on alcohol marker friendly paper, coloured with Copic markers and hand fussy cut the stamp. I added some sparkle to his hat with Star Dust Stickles and set him aside to dry. Patterned paper from three different companies came together to help put the design together and a notebook edge die gave me the "Santa is taking notes" look I was hoping for. I added some fishtail banner ends to add some interest to the card and finished it off with the sentiment, twine and enamel dots. The stamp is added with foam pop dots to help give the card some dimension.

Winking Holiday Cheer

  After taking a bit of a break from making Christmas cards, I am back at it. When I am creatively challenged as I like to call it, I will look at my stamps and try to find a way to make them go further. This stamp comes with a frame around it but I decided to just colour the snowman and fussy cut it for a different look. Meet the adorable "Winking Snowman" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps! How cute is he?!?

                            

After stamping on alcohol marker friendly paper, I coloured him with Copic markers and hand fussy cut him. Patterned paper from three different companies helped the design come together. I added some sparkly icicle border the the top of some of the paper, sparkly ribbon and glitter enamel dots - I love adding a bit  of sparkle to my Christmas cards. The sentiment was stamped and added at the bottom to finish off the card.
