A Kiss to Celebrate the Season

Time for a new challenge at One Crazy Stamper and this month we are looking for projects that are Christmas/Winter themed.  You can use any stamp except for digital images.  You have all month to join in the fun for a chance to win a fabulous prize from OCS.

This sweet image is Mooshie Steals a Kiss available at One Crazy Stamper here.  I have colored it with Copics, then fussy cut it and popped it up on the card front I created by inking a Cuttlebug embossing folder with Ranger Distress Antique Linen ink, then running in through my Cuttlebug.  The finishing touches are a wooden snowflake, twine, and a sentiment I did on my computer.

Happy Halloween Vampire!

October has flown by and there are only two more days until Halloween is celebrated!

My card today features another adorable new image from the latest High Hopes release.  This is "Vampire Treats" available here, that I have colored with Copics, and then fussy cut.  The card front was created with Distess Inks ( Black Soot, Broken China, and Mustard Seed ), and a Memory Box die.  The sentiment is also a High Hopes stamps that you can purchase here.

Little Mummy

Halloween is quickly approaching - soon the little ghosts and goblins will be out trick or treating and my card today is perfect for the season.  

This is "Mummy" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps that I colored with Copics.  The card front is black card stock that I ran through my Cuttlebug to get the pumpkin embossing, which I then highlighted with orange and green Viva Decor Inka Golds.  After wrapping the card front with some bits of torn cheesecloth, I mounted the fussy cut image and a sentiment from High Hopes stamps to finish it off.

More Advents

Christmas season is fast approaching, and last year I did several advent calendars to celebrate the season.  Here's photos of two of the advent calendars I made last year.

The first version features a bird and his home, while the second one features an older Hallmark ornament of Santa.

Loved making them and I hope you enjoy looking at them!

Beary Snowy

Mother Nature is giving us a taste of winter today - just a few snowflakes flying around, but the temperature is only 3 and the wind is brutal - brrrrrrrrr is all I can say!

Here's another card that I colored last year - amazing what you find in your old posts.  This adorable image is from Lili of the Valley that I colored with Copics.  The hat received a coat of Polar White Flower Soft to add some dimension, and a wood snowflake mounted in the corner of the card front, finishes off the card.

Cold Hands....

Here's another card that I did last winter, and then forgot to post.  It's the perfect card for today as our wonderful summer weather is coming to an abrupt end - it's currently 20 but tomorrow's high is a cool 4 with snow and sleet!!  Brrrrrr!!!!

 

This adorable image and sentiment are from Lili of the Valley.  The image was colored with Copics, cut out with a Spellbinder die, and then mounted on paper from my stash.  The snowflake border and individual snowflakes are from Joy Craft.
