Merry Monday {Noel} & Art Impressions

The time has come for another challenge at Merry Monday!!! I love this challenge of using Christmas lights and glitter! I found a stamp in my stash from my Design Team days for Art Impressions and it was SO much fun to colour!!! 

I used watercolour paper (140lb) and my copic markers to colour this. I find that it is much easier to use my Copics on this paper! I kept the design simple and used some glitter washi tape at the bottom to tie it all in! Come and play along at Merry Monday!

Art Impressions {Lighted Snowman}

Friday! Hooray! Only 12 days until Christmas Eve! WOW! So excited! Today I am sharing a Christmas card using the Lighted Snowman Set #4349.  I love this snowman SO much!!! I have to admit, I dug deep into my paper stash and found some older papers to make a trio of matching cards! I pre-cut all the pieces and quickly put them together.

This snowman looks so happy! He is fun to colour too!!!

Happy Christmas!!!

Happy Friday! Hooray! The weekend is near! Today I am sharing a card I made with a small little mouse stamp called Mouse (Sku#F3307) that I just HAD to have! I inked him up with my Copic Markers and then fussy cut him. Isn't he adorable?! I popped him up on a snowflake and added an old sentiment from my stamp collection. This is a retired sentiment...but I thought the sentiment Brrrright (Sku#G3054) would look good with this mouse too!

Did you see the fun challenge we have on? I am entering this mouse card into the challenge...he is cool but also all bundled up!

Yesterday I shared a card I made for the Feeling Frosty Challenge! I used the Jolly Snowman Set (Sku#4315) and I was happy to ink him up! I wanted to keep my card Clean and Simple...and I used some Lawn Fawn paper for the sentiment...I thought it worked perfectly!

Thank you for stopping by!

Art Impressions {Season Greetings}

 

Happy Friday! Wow, I find the countdown to Christmas is ZOOMING by! Today I am sharing a card I made using the adorable new Christmas stamp called SKU#4518-Season's Greetings Set. I have so much to do and I want to have my cards done as soon as possible! So I tend to make cards that are easy to make like this one!

Many people email me with questions about Sketches and dimensions. This sketch is a "go-to" sketch for me and so I wanted to share the dimensions. These are approximate and you are welcome to alter them, but I wanted to give new stampers something to start with! Happy Stamping!

I send about 80 cards each Christmas...how many do you make?

Isn't the look on that snowman's face adorable!? I love how happy he is that Christmas is on the way! Happy Friday! Today I am sharing a Christmas card using the Lighted Snowman Set #4349 on the Art Impressions Blog...stop on by! 

Today I am using some product from Scrapbook Adhesives! I love their larger foam squares, they made all the layers of my card, pop!

I made my card a tad irregular into a 5.5" square card! I also wanted to add a poinsettia to the side, to further highlight this adorable snowman! 

Do you have any snow where you live? It is sure cold in my area but no snow yet!

Good morning stamping friends! Today I am excited to be involved with the Art Impressions blog hop! Today we are showcasing the adorable Zoo Babies!!! My goodness they are darling! I love them! I got the chance to play with this sweet elephant set called Dream Big.
