Sixth Christmas Card

Magical snowman card.  This stamp comes in pieces so you can make your own snowman. He has been water coloured, cut out and glued on. Snow flakes stamped and embossed on the card. Ribbon adding a perfect touch.

Fifth Card of Christmas

This card has been embossed with a poinsettia embossing folder. It really gives the card a lot of texture. The two frames have Christmas paper in them.  Santa has been coloured with water colours cut out and placed on the card.  The fur on his clothes actually looks fluffy.
The card sparkles with gold.

The inside of the card has water coloured toys and some Magical words. A lot of detail to this card inside and out.

Fourth Card of Christmas

Isn't this the cutest little girl that is stamped on this card.  I just  
love her!!!!  She is water coloured and the paper is distressed to make it look vintage.
On the right is the inside of the card. Very nice with the rough edges. Red and pinks look so nice together.

The third card of Christmas

These little forest animals are the cutest.  No stranger to us Canadians!!! We see them all the time out and about.  The little animals are painted with water colours on water colour paper, cut out individually and glued on the card.  At the right side of the card is the word Brrr that has been stamped on the card and makes it look like a printed paper. Jackie has used some different shapes here to give it interest. The ribbon with a bow adds that special touch.

The second card of Christmas

This is the same stamp as the first Christmas card but Jackie made it a night scene.  She added the sleigh, horse and christmas tree stamp which added a little more life to the scene.  The picture of course doesn't do it justice. It is very beautiful in real light.  Snow is falling making it a home you want to visit on a cold winter night.  I think of people drinking eggnog and singing Christmas carols in this house. Of course there is a log fire burning hence the chimney with smoke coming from it.

The gift tag we had as a make and take for MS fundraiser

This tag was made by the ladies who came to the fundraiser.
The tag was cut out with a diecut and big shot.  Plastic that we saved from containers, being the frugal crafters we are.  It cut out with the same die cut and was embossed with a swiss dot embossing folder to make it look like snow on over the picture.  Adding the plastic with dots gives the tag a bit of demention.  The dots were inked with stazon ink in white.  The ink on plastic can not be water based ink.  The background of the tag was stamped with fur trees. The reindeer was coloured on white paper and cut out.  Snow flakes were stamped and then embossed.  Little pearls were added to give it that added touch. The tag can be used as a tree ornament.  Add the year and you have a memento to keep and put on every year.

12 cards of Christmas

This is the first card in our 12 days of Christmas.
Very snowy glittery card.  I just love how Jackie added the snow to the trees.  The stamping more than once on the trees gives it demention. The satin ribbon and bow adds a pretty touch to the scene.
