It's week 2 of challenge inspiration at Your Next Stamp! I am really loving this sketch, so I had another go at it this week...

This cute image was formally a digital stamp, but was recently released as a clear stamp set. It's called Furry Christmas Friends. I colored it with Copics, and cut out the layers with my Stitched Rectangle Die Set. The sentiment from the Little Darling Crystal stamp set is stamped onto vellum, cut out with Scrapworks Strips Dies, and wrapped around the card.

Copics:

Cat - W5, W3, W1, W0

Mouse - W3, W1, W0, W00

Ground - E44, E43, E42, E41

Bulb - R39, R29, E27, E24, E22, R20, R000

I paired him with some of the fabulous paper from the new Snowy Days 6x6 Paper Pad... I love the designs and colors in this pack! I also used some new dies from the Make-a-Card #11 Winter die set... that snowy hill die is going to be getting LOTS of use, and how cool is that row of trees?! So fun for making little wintery scenes!! To finish it off, I added a few blue sequins, and Doodlebug Asterisk Sequins to look like falling snowflakes!

The Doodlelicious Divas have created some cute wintery projects with the newest images, so be sure to head over to the Whimsie Doodles Blog to have a look!!

I've used a cute new image called Jingle Bells... this adorable snowman even comes with a sassy sentiment. I decided to fussy cut him out, leaving off the sentiment, and covered up the jingle bells on his body with some Black Gumdrops to resemble lumps of coal!

It's a simple card... I cut the layers with my YNS Stitched Rectangle Dies, and added a button with some Doodlebug Twine to match the color of the snowman's scarf. The senitiment is from a YNS set called Little Darling January... I love it for the extra exclamation marks!!! :)

I've colored up the very sweet new Winter Kisses Lucy for my card today. I just love her!! When my girls were little, they had the most adorable coats with soft fluffy lining, and matching boots, so I colored Lucy's outfit to resemble that, adding the fluffy lining using my Marvy Snow Marker.

You Warm My Heart

Friday, 30 October 2015

We have a new challenge starting for you today at Your Next Stamp!

Check out this awesome sketch and color combo...

I've used the sketch this time around, but rotated it to create a little scene...

I've had Hot Cocoa Phoebe stamped and waiting to be used, and I thought the elements on this weeks sketch were perfect for some snowy hills under Phoebe's feet!

Behind her, I used a scrap of MFT Sno Cone Cardstock, stamped with the Snowfall stamp and white ink... I like how subtle it is in the background. I used some white embossing powder on the sentiment to make it stand out a bit more. The layers are cut with the Stitched Rectangle Die Set.

I also used a dab of my Marvy Snow Marker on the contents of Phoebe's cup... I think it looks a bit like Marshmallows in her hot cocoa, or maybe some whipped cream. :)
