Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!

Written by Kelli Cortes. Posted in Eye Candy (Projects)

Hi, everyone!  Kelli here today with a few cards to share with you!  First up I created a Christmas card using the C.C. Designs – Meoples Snow Love stamp.  I stamped it in Memento – Tuxedo Black ink onto X-Press It blending paper and colored it with Copics:
patch on boy hat, girl earmuff, and heart – R29, R27, R24, R22
boy hat – G28, G07, G05, G03
noses – YR18, YR16, YR15, YR14, YR12
arms – E29, E27, E25, E23
button on boy hat – Y28, Y26, Y23
fluffy top of boy hat and strap of girl earmuffs – BG15, BG13, BG11
snowmen – B01, B00, B000
snow – B35, B32
cheeks – RV10
outline around image – C2

I cut the colored image out using one of the dies from the Lawn Fawn – Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables die set.  The snowflakes on the card base were cut using the Lawn Fawn – Stitched Snowflakes die set.  I am in love with these snowflakes.  They are definitely a winter must-have!

All the patterned paper is from the Pebbles – Home for Christmas 6×6 paper pad.

Everything was adhered using the Crafter’s Companion – Adhesive Runner and dimensional foam adhesive.

I tied a bow around the red piece using the MarkerPOP! – Sweet Holiday baker’s twine.

I added some Pretty Pink Posh – Cornflower 4mm Cupped Sequins around the snowmen to mimic snow.

To finish everything off I added some Wink of Stella Glitter Pen in Clear to the snowflake die cuts and the red colored parts of the image.

Next up I have a Hanukkah card set to share with you!  The menorah and sentiment are from the Lawn Fawn – Happy Hanukkah stamp set.  I stamped the menorah in Memento – Tuxedo Black ink onto X-Press It blending paper and colored the flames with Copics:
Y35, Y15, Y13

The yellow patterned paper is from the Lawn Fawn – Sweater Weather 6×6 paper pad.  I tied a bow around the patterned paper using the Lawn Fawn – Blue Jay Hemp Twine.

The card base is the Lawn Fawn – Navy Woodgrain Notecard.

Everything was adhered using the Crafter’s Companion – Adhesive Runner and dimensional foam adhesive.

I added some Pretty Pink Posh sequins in colors: 4mm Metallic Gold, 4mm Clear, and blue from the 6mm Nature Mix.

To finish everything off I added some Wink of Stella Glitter Pen in Clear to the flames and then covered them with Glossy Accents.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a great day!  🙂

You will have THREE WEEKS to enter this challenge instead of the usual two.
International winners will be responsible for shipping costs if they choose to claim their prize.

For this challenge I created a wintery Christmas card using the Lawn Fawn – Winter Penguin stamp set along with the matching Winter Penguin die.  I stamped the penguin in Memento – Tuxedo Black ink onto X-Press It blending paper and colored him with Copics:
C5, C4, C2
W2, W1
R39, R37, R35
G28, G07, G03
YR18, YR14, YR12

I stamped the little snowflakes from the same stamp set with a light blue ink onto some X-Press It blending paper.  I cut that piece out using a die from the Lawn Fawn – Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables die set.  I also cut a partial sheet of light blue from the Lawn Fawn – Peace, Joy, Love 6×6 paper pad with the same die to use as ice.  I stamped ‘happy’ and ‘holidays’ from the same Winter Penguin stamp set.  The little red heart was cut out using the smallest die from the Lawn Fawn – Hearts die set.

The red background piece is from the same Lawn Fawn paper pad and is cut out using a die from the Lawn Fawn – Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables die set.

The card base is the Lawn Fawn – Navy Woodgrain Notecard.

Everything was adhered using the Crafter’s Companion – Adhesive Runner and dimensional foam adhesive.

I added a bow using the MarkerPOP – Sweet Holiday baker’s twine.  I don’t think this twine could be any more perfect for Christmas!  To finish everything off I added some Wink of Stella Glitter Pen in Clear to the penguin, snowflakes, and heart.  I also added some Glossy Accents to the penguin’s beak and the heart for some shine.
