Two cards today for All That Scraps blog. I’ve been coloring away and creating. Pulling out papers, punches, trying this, trying that…all part of my card creating process. I’m glad there isn’t a secret agent video taping me!!!
Here’s my first card for today…Swiss Pixies Heidi with two of the stamps from the Christmas Otis and Milo set. This was so much fun to color… I have to show you the close up first!

 

The top piece is the new EK Success string of light slimline border punch. I punched it in the green Bazzil card-stock. Then punched it in white card-stock…collected the white light bulbs and colored them with copic markers and stuck them in the punched holes in the green card-stock….I know, crazeeeee! The border on the edge of the green piece and the red piece is another EK Success border punch, wave with dot…not sure what the “real” name is.  Oh and there is that Martha Stewart Pine branch punch again!

It’s hard to see but there is an embossed line the punch makes for the cord the light bulbs are attached to.
Here’s a picture of the copic markers I used for this card. The four “Y” and “YR” on the right end are what I used for her hair.  Y15 managed to escape the pile up….I used it for the yellow light bulb. E01 should have been in here too!!!  I used E000, E00, E01 and R30 on her face.  I am using a Sakura white gelly roll pen right now for the white dots. I used the clear spica glitter pen on the ornaments but you can’t see it in the photos…to bad, it’s just the nicest twinkle!

I was going to save card number two for Tuesday but that thought didn’t last! silly me!
Meet Swiss Pixes Santa Birgitta!

 

 

Hope you can see the Art Glittering System Diamond Dust glitter on her wings, cuffs and hat band…love this stuff and I hate glitter…go figure!

here’s the flower fun…

 

EK Success medium papershaper flower punch, The Punch Bunch leaf branch and then I used an 1/8th inch hole punch to punch the tips of each leaf…well, I was trying to make it look like mistletoe for a minute there!!! lol The Martha Stewart Pine Branch punch…the new EK Success holly punch, the punch case is read, comes in a package of two, the other is a snowflake. The brads on this card are by Bo Bunny.
Here’s a picture of the copic sketch markers I used on this card…

Thanks for coming by today! ‘preciate it! All these stamps are by CC Designs and are available to order at All That Scraps online store. Pure colorbook therapy!

Have I been having a blast cutting up rubber the last few weeks!  The November release for CC Designs is over the top cute and fun to create with.  I love Winter/Christmas images!   Amy R from All That Scraps emailed and asked me to be their guest designer for November and I wanted to,  but was a little apprehensive of whether or not I could do it! But how could I resist!!!  I couldn’t!  So here I am today with two cards created with some of the November release.  Each Monday for the month of November I will be back with projects from the November new stamps!

Meet “Nora” one of the new Holiday Swiss Pixies…dressed for the cold and snow that’s sure to come!

For this card I used this wonderfully, Winterish pattern paper from American Crafts.  The snowflakes are embossed already!  I cut a strip from the Gingerbread House sheet and punched the bottom with an EK Success Slim border punch. The snowflakes and holly are from an EK Success Winter punch set that is just new.  The pine branch is a Martha Stewart punch.  I used mini brads for the berries with a little slash of white pen.  I do like to dry emboss lines in my leaves and I use a mouse pad and a stylus to do that.  The sentiment stamps I used here is new from All That Scraps also,  watch for the set called Christmas card Greetings!  I used the Bazzill itty bitty brads for her pigtail holders…they’re about 1/16th of an inch and I LOVE them!

Meet the critters from “Christmas Time” set…they are having a time getting ready for Christmas!

The kitty decorating the tree, the bunny hanging an ornament and the doggy getting all wound up in the lights! I used everything in the set except the words “Merry Christmas” to make this Diorama card. Not sure you can really see how fun it is by my photos! I did mine different than the tutorial…figures…hehe…I thought they left too much at the sides, so I cut it down to 1 1/4 inches. I also made it a 5×7 size.

I’m guessing they are sure to make you smile!  I’ve sure enjoyed coloring them and more to come!
