From our Gnome to Yours – Merry Christmas

High Hopes Stamps, It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas, , ,
Welcome Everyone;
Another week has gone by and Friday is here again.  For today’s card, I have used this adorable Elf Gnome paired with the sentiment called From Our Gnome. Both are from High Hopes Stamps.  Now it looks like this Elf has been enjoying himself.  He is such a fun character.

After stamping the image onto some XPress It Blending Cardstock, I coloured him with Copic Markers.  I cut him out using a Wonky Stitched Oval Die.  Using the same die, I cut a piece of green, red, silver & gold from the Festive Foil Paper Pad by Kaisercraft.  These were lined up so that they overlapped a bit. Some enamel dots finished off this CAS cards.

Chill Out

Christmas, High Hopes Stamps, It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas, , , ,

Hi Everyone;

If you haven’t seen High Hopes Stamps, latest release “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas” yet, grab a coffee or tea and take a break and browse.

For today’s card, I’m using the adorable Lil’ Frosty who is certainly enjoying his drink and paired it with the  Chill Out sentiment.  Both of these stamps are from the “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas” release.

After stamping the image onto some XPress It Blending Cardstock, I coloured it with Copic Markers.  I used a Wonky Stitched Square die to cut it out.  Using a Wonky Stitched Oval die, I cut a piece of  pattern paper and a piece of foil cardstock out.  The image was then mounted on these two shapes.  The snowflakes were cut out with a small snowflake die and a crystal was added to each center.   Nuvo Crystal Glaze was added to the sentiment, while some Fresh Snowfall from Nuvo Glitter Accents and enamel dots, finished off this card.
