‘Twas the night before Christmas…..

November 24, 2017Challenge - Christmas/Winter Fun, One Crazy Stamper'Twas the Night Before Christmas (Echo Park), Copic Markers, Filled Stocking (High Hopes Stamps)Sue

Welcome OCS and HH fans;

I don’t know about you, but I am so so not ready for Santa popping down the chimneys a month today. Yes, you read right — Christmas Eve will soon be upon us.

My most favourite story/poem is “Twas the Night Before Christmas”, and for today’s post I have incorporated part of it, along with the adorable stamp from High Hopes Stamps called “Filled Stocking“. The wording and stockings are from the “Twas the Night Before Christmas” paper collection from Echo Park.

Welcome OCS fans;

It looks like winter has finally arrived and a dumping of snow is going to make its’ appearance. I don’t know about you, but I find a little snow goes a long way — not great for driving but awesome for making snowmen.

I added some Nuvo White Blizzard glitter drops to him. I added a Frosty Border die from Memory Box and added some YNS Gumdrops to it.

Welcome back OCS fans.

For today’s card, I have gone a bit outside of my comfort zone. I did a variation of a Panel Pull-Out Card (by Dawn Olchefske) that I saw on Splitcoaststampers. Instead of doing five panels, I did three so that the image would fit nicely in the middle of a panel. I also attached the panel to a card base instead of a single sheet of cardstock.

The center panel is white cardstock that was cut to be 5″ x 11 1/4″ and scored at approximately 3 3/4″ from either end. I also finished the inside of the card, which I usually don’t do.
