STILL MORE CHRISTMAS CARDS (AND A FEW MORE TO FOLLOW)

These cuties are PTI PomPom Pals.  Colored with Copics, Stickles Mercury Glass, Lawn Fawn note cards.  The PomPoms I found on Amazon but I saw some at Michael's too.  

ANOTHER PINE BOUGH CARD

I used the same technique as I used on this card but I used Black Soot, Concord Grape, Chipped Sapphire and a little Seedless Preserves distress inks.  The die was cut from some very sparkly, peel and stick Kodak paper that I had in my stash for ages.

PURPLE ONION CHRISTMAS CARD

I am in love with Stacey Yacula stamps for Purple Onion Designs.  I colored these with Copics and mounted with dimensional tape.  The sentiment is embossed with filagree gold and silver embossing powders.  Stickles on the snow.

PENNY BLACK MIMI'S WINTER FRIENDS CHRISTMAS CARD

I colored this stamp last year with Derwent Inktense Pencils but never used it.  I added some Stampendous Chunky White embossing powder and mounted on embossed MFT cardstock.  The Celebrate die is from Serendipity Stamps.  The candy cane stripe paper is from Lawn Fawn Peace Joy Love 6 x 6.

DON WE NOW OUR UGLY SWEATERS- SIMON SAYS STAMPS

ANOTHER PTI MAKE IT MONDAY CHALLENGE # 193

So much fun to make a baby card after all the Christmas cards.  I used a variety of pigment inks to blend the background of the card and even used them to color the train stamp from Lawn Fawn.  The PTI hearts were cut from a ruined spare background. I just love the way the pigment inks blend together.  

PAPERTREY INK MAKE IT MONDAY CHALLENGE: CAMOUFLAGE DIE CUTS

I wanted to try to camouflage something other than a word die so here are my takes on this challenge. For the first card I first masked off a 4 x 5 1/4 Neenah solar white card stock and created my background using distress inks. shimmer spritz and Hero Arts white mister.  I then die cut the PTI Christmas tree and two layers of Craft-a-Board from Ellen Hutson. I decided I didn't want the tree to be too camouflaged so I coated it with Versamark and embossed in clear embossing powder.  The greeting is from Pom Pom Pals embossed in Ranger Liquid Platinum

For the second card, I created a background using Viva texture paint and waited and waited and waited till it dried.  I then used the same process of die-cutting and mounting on Craft-a-Board. I then cut a frame using Simon Says Stitched Rectangles and added Wink of Stella Clear to the frame, die cut PTI wonderful words Joy out of Crafter's Companion Shimmer Cardstock Silver Starlight.  I assembled the frame, die cuts androunded off the top corners to finish.
