Gina K Designs – Owls – Merry Christmas!

Dec13

Today I’m sharing another Christmas card using stamps from  Gina K Designs – Holiday Season and Seasonal Patterns and Phrases. Also used, Ornate Frame die from the new Gina K Designs – 12 Days of Christmas Box – Day 1.

To create the card, I began with the card base using Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. folded to the size of 4.25″ x 5.5″. The edges around the card were inked with a Gina K. blending brush and Gina K. Designs – Powder Blue ink.

With Memento – Tuxedo Black ink and my MISTI, I stamped the image onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. I coloured in the image with Copic markers listed below. The image was fussy cut, leaving a touch of white all around it. Using a Sakura Glaze – Black pen, I coloured in the eyes and beaks. Then I added a little dot on the eyes with a Gelly Roll Sakura #5 Pen. Spectrum Noir – Sparkles – Crystal Clear was applied to the hats brims and pom-poms to add a little bit of glitter.

The sentiment was stamped directly onto Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock, using a MISTI, VersaMark ink and Ranger Gold Embossing powder was applied over top of it. This was heat embossed using a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. The sentiment was die cut using a Cuttlebug and die from Gina K. Designs – Die – Scrolled Gift Card Holder and the frame was die cut using Gina K. Designs – Ornate Frame (Day 1 from the 12 Days of Christmas) and paper from Chloe’s Crafts Paper Pad – 02-3129420. A Sharpie – Gold Medium Point – Water Based Paint was used to create a border around the sentiment die cut.

To assemble the card, using another piece of cardstock from the Chloe’s Crafts Paper Pad – 02-3129420, I cut the paper to the size of 3.5″ x 4.75″ and glued this piece to the Ornate Frame die cut. U-Line Double-Sided Foam tape was applied to the backs of this, the Owls images, sentiment and Dress It Up – Glitter Holly embellishment. The frame was then popped up onto the base card. Next, I popped up the owls, holly and sentiment onto the frame. With a Gelly Roll Sakura #10 Pen, I created snow in the sky behind the owls and onto the holly berries to finish it off.

Kraftin Kimmie – Merry Christ-Moose!

Dec10

Sharing another Christmas card I made using Merry Christ-Moose! by Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps.

To make my card this week, I began with a Recollections – Christmas Cards 4.25″ x 5.5″ card base. I die cut Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card and Scrapbook.com – Jewels Smooth Cardstock with my Cuttlebug and dies from Moonstone – Hunkydory – Vintage Filigree Frame, Waffle Flower Crafts – Nesting Squares. With my MISTI and Memento – Tuxedo Black ink, I stamped the image onto the square die cut. The sentiment was stamped using VersaMark ink and then embossed with Ranger Embossing Powder White – Extra Fine Detail. Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool was applied to the powder to heat emboss it.

The image was coloured in with Copic Markers listed below and the snow in the sky was applied with a Gelly Roll Sakura #10 Pen. This pen was also applied to the Moose’s eyes. Sakura Glaze – Black pen was applied to the eyes of all of the characters and also to the dog’s nose. UNIPosca PC-3M White marker was applied to the snow in spots to give it a little more texture. U-Line double-sided foam tape was applied to the back of the die cut and sentiment and they were both popped up onto the card.

Matchbook Baby Card!

Dec5

Today I’m sharing a miniature Baby card using Art Impressions – MB Nursery – 5495, MB Template Dies (5317) and MB Envelope Die (5318) that I made for my niece’s  baby shower. She was very surprised when she saw how small the card was. LOL! I always love seeing everyone’s expression when they receive their little matchbook sized cards.

To create the card, I began with the card base using some scrap paper from my stash for the background. The design was only on one side, so I doubled it up and glued it together. Then using a Cuttlebug die-cutting machine and the Art Impressions – MB Template Dies (5317), I die cut the designer paper for the base of the card and also the Sentiment pop-up out of a scrap of white cardstock.

With Memento – Tuxedo Black ink and my MISTI, I stamped all of the images and the sentiment onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. I coloured in all of the images with Copic markers listed below. Once this was completed, the images were all cut out using Art Impressions – MB Nursery – 5495 dies and the pop-ups were adhered to the card with double-sided tape. The window frames, Baby Blocks and Wording were applied using liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment onto some white cardstock with Versa Fine – Onyx Black ink and applied Ranger – Clear Super Fine Detail embossing powder. This was heat embossed using a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool.

Lastly, I die cut the envelope out of some scrap double-sided paper that I had in my stash using the Art Impressions – MB Envelope Die (5318). A smaller message was written on an even tinier miniature envelope to my niece and nephew.

Card Recipe:

Stamps and Sentiment: Art Impressions – MB Nursery – 5495

Kit and Clowder – Penguin Bauble!

Dec5

Today I’m sharing a Christmas card that I made following a video for the Penguin Bauble Colouring class by Alyce Keegan at Kit and Clowder during the November Summit Class.

The image provided by Alyce was printed out with my HP Printer onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using High Quality Grayscale and coloured in with Copic markers. Once I finished colouring the image, it was fussy cut leaving a slim border. The sentiment was stamped onto some white cardstock in my stash using VersaFine – Majestic Blue ink, MISTI and Kraftin’ Kimmie – It’s Penguining To Look A Lot Like Christmas!  stamp. Ranger – Clear Super Fine Detail embossing powder was applied over top of the ink and it was heat embossed with a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. Lastly, I used a Sharpie – Gold Medium Point – Water Based Paint pen to go around the edges.

The base card was created to the size of 6″ x 6″ out of Hammermill – Premium 110 lb. cardstock. Gold cardstock from Chloe’s Crafts Paper Pad was applied directly to the base of the same size using liquid glue. Waffle Flower Crafts – Nesting Squares were used to die-cut Crafter’s Companion – Snowflake Swirls designer paper for the background and Moonstone – Hunkydory – Vintage Filigree Frame die was used to die cut Chloe’s Crafts Paper Pad – Navy Blue paper. I applied both of these directly to the the front of the card using liquid glue and then popped up the finished image and sentiment onto the card using U-Line double-sided foam tape.

Below is the original coloured image before creating the card to go with it.

Todd’s 62nd Birthday!

Aug30

Today, I’m sharing a Birthday card that I made for my husband’s 62nd Birthday! The card was created using images and sentiments from Art Impressions – Born To Ride – 5044, Gotta Garden Set – 5000, Birthday Laugh Lines – 5115 and Dance It Out Set – 5278. My husband loves working out in the garden, so I thought this would be a fun card to make him!

To create the card, I began with the card base of 4.25″ x 5.5″ using Hammermill – Premium Cardstock 110 lb. With a Cuttlebug, I die cut Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card with My Creative Time – Rectangle Frame Layers. With Memento – Tuxedo Black ink and my MISTI, I stamped the images onto the die cuts and coloured them in using Copic markers.

I inserted the 2 images back into my MISTI and added the sentiments using Versa Fine – Onyx Black ink. Once this was done, Ranger – Clear Super Fine Detail embossing powder was applied and then heat embossed with a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. Recollections – Black cardstock was cut to the size of 3.75″ x 4.75″ and the images were applied to these using double-sided tape. Both images were then applied to the base card using double-sided tape. Lastly, I used a sentiment from “Hunkydory – Birthdays Perfect Poetry” Foiled Paper Pad and created a backing out of Recollections – Black cardstock for it as well before adhering it to the inside of the card with double-sided tape.

My husband loved his card and I hope you do too!

Matchbook Wedding Card!

Aug25

Today I’m sharing a miniature Wedding card using Art Impressions – MB Chapel – 5496, MB Template Dies (5317) and MB Envelope Die (5318) that I made for my cousin Trevor and his beautiful bride Caroline’s wedding a week ago. Wishing them both many joyous and prosperous years ahead with lots of happiness and laughter!

All of their decorations for the wedding were in purple, so I made this little card to match, which I inserted into a larger card that I had made for them.

To create the card, I began with the card base using some scrap double-sided paper, Cuttlebug die-cutting machine and the Art Impressions – MB Template Dies (5317). The floor was die cut using Joy Crafts – Artist Trading Card – Wood Texture paper.

With Memento – Tuxedo Black ink and my MISTI, I stamped all of the images and the sentiment onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. I coloured in all of the images with Copic markers listed below.  The windows were stamped onto Forever In Time – Vellum Print Stack Pack paper using VersaMark ink and then applying Ranger Embossing Powder White – Extra Fine Detail. The powder was heat set embossed using a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. This gave them a stained glass look. Using the Cuttlebug again, I die cut all of the inside pop-ups, cross and windows using Art Impressions – MB Chapel dies. Lastly, I die cut the envelopes out of some scrap double-sided paper that I had in my stash using the Art Impressions – MB Envelope Die (5318).

Double-sided tape was applied to do the assembly on the tabs and wall items. They were then all adhered to the base card.  Double-sided tape was also applied to the flaps of the larger envelope to complete the assembly. To finish off both the card and the larger envelope, I stamped the sentiments onto some white cardstock with VersaMark ink and applied Ranger Super Fine Gold Embossing powder. This was heat embossed using a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool and then cut to size with a cutter and scissors to create the banners. These were both applied to the finished card and envelope using liquid glue as well as the little heart. Then a small message was written on the miniature envelope to the bride and groom.

Card Recipe:

Stamps and Sentiment: Art Impressions – MB Chapel – 5496

Inks: Memento – Tuxedo Black, VersaMark

Paper: Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card, Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb., Forever In Time – Vellum Print Stack Pack (SP280L  Technicolor), Scrap patterned paper from stash

Wyatt’s 1st Birthday!

Aug24

Hi There!

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything as the first half of this year was not the greatest for me! So let me catch you up a bit.

In January, my husband and I went on a cruise. It rained almost everyday and so 2 of the ports that we were supposed to go to didn’t happen, but we still tried to make the best of it and were both very happy to at least get to hold a baby sloth which ended up being the highlight of of our trip. On the last day, I connected to Wi-Fi, only to find out that my mom had been admitted to the hospital on the 2nd day of our trip back home. She has Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease and is now permanently in a very nice home since the end of February. I have been travelling back home to see her whenever I can and also staying with family. My dad turned 90 years old this year in April and we had a very nice party with friends and family and he was so happy! However, after his birthday, he was not doing well and sadly passed away suddenly 2 weeks later. Therefore, I wasn’t feeling very creative for most of the 1st half of the year.

July and the first part of August became a time for visiting my immediate family, my mom, my mom’s sisters here in Ontario and my husband’s family in Calgary, Alberta.

During our July vacation in Calgary, Alberta, we met up with members from my husband’s family and some old friends. It was a wonderful time and great to see everyone after so many years! We also did some wonderful sightseeing as well! While we were there, our new great nephew Wyatt was celebrating his 1st birthday!

Today I’m sharing the Birthday card that I made for my nephew’s Birthday using the image from Whimsy Stamps – Birthday Baby Boy Rubber Stamp and Sentiment and hat from Cricut Cartridge – Old West using Cricut Design Studio and Cricut Explore.

To create the card, I began with the card base of 6″ x 6″ using AC Cardstock – White and FINDit Trading – Hello World watercolor collection – Yvonne Creations cardstock cut to the size of 5.75″ x 5.75″. I thought it created the perfect background for this adorable stamp. The edges were inked with Tim Holtz Distress Inks – Tumbled Glass and it was adhered to the base card with liquid glue.

With Memento – Tuxedo Black ink and my MISTI, I stamped the rubber image onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card and then coloured it in. Once this was completed, I then fussy cut around the entire image. I glued the black lettering onto the white outline I die cut for the sentiment and popped up both the image and sentiment onto the card using U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape. Once that was done, I glued the little cowboy hat onto the baby boy.

Lastly, I added in the little kitty cat on the chair using the Kitten from Dress It Up – Kitten Kaboodle button after removing the backing with liquid glue. The 3 cars were added in the same way which were from Dress It Up – Speed Racers.

My niece and nephew loved the card and I hope you do too!

Dad’s 90th Birthday!

Apr27

Today I’m sharing a Birthday card that I made for my dad’s 90th Birthday last week using the image and sentiments from Art Impressions – Dance It Out – 5278. We had a nice party for him surrounded by family and close friends and he enjoyed every minute of it. 🙂 I created the fishes on the shirt because my dad has always loved fishing and I thought it would be fun to do.

To create the card, I began with the card base of 3.75″ x 9″ using Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock. With a Cuttlebug, I die cut the sentiment using Spellbinders – Phrase Set 1 and the numbers with Lawn Fawn Lawn Cuts – Henry’s 123s and then adhered them directly to the card using liquid glue. With a stamping block and Versa Fine – Onyx Black, several sentiments were stamped using the Art Impressions – Dance It Out – 5278 set.

Once this was completed, it was time to create the background. To do this,  I placed down the stencil from Lawn Fawn – Confetti Stencils and applied multiple Tim Holtz Distress inks with some small blending brushes. I continued to do this until, I covered the entire card, being sure to not colour over any of the lettering.

With Memento – Tuxedo Black ink and my MISTI, I stamped the image onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card and then coloured it in. Once this was completed, I then fussy cut around the entire image and popped it up onto the card using U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape.

I applied some small balloons with some die cuts that I had cut out earlier using Your Next Stamp – Mini Balloon Trio Die Set and then added in the “th”, strings for the balloons and eyes for the fish with a Sakura Glaze – Black pen. The inside of the card also had a lot of fun sayings.

I made my dad this fun T-shirt too using my Cricut. He loved his card and shirt an I hope you do too!

Penguin and Reindeer Friend!

Dec19

Today I’m sharing a Christmas card that I made using Whimsy Stamps – Penguin and Reindeer Friend and Penny Black Creative Dies – Antique Frame.

The image was printed out with my HP Printer onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using High Quality Grayscale and coloured in with Copic markers. Once I finished colouring the image, I applied Copic B000 all around it and then fussy cut the image out leaving a slim border.

The base card was created to the size of 4.25″ x 5.5″ out of Hammermill – Premium 110 lb. cardstock. Stampin’ Up – Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper was cut to the same size as the base card. Using a Cuttlebug and Penny Black Creative Dies – Antique Frame, I die cut the centre of the paper, keeping the original size as well. The same dies were also used to cut out a larger rectangle out of Hot Buy – Recollections – Jewel Tones paper. To create the snow, I first die cut the snow drifts with Lawn Fawn – Sparkle Cardstock in “Pixie Dust” paper and Spellbinders – Color Block Scenic Scape dies. Next, so that I could keep the same shape as the snowflake die cut, I once again ran both of the snow die cuts through the cutting machine using the Penny Black dies. All of the die cuts were inked around the edges with a finger dauber and Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Salty Ocean. Tim Holtz Distress Inks – Tumbled Glass was applied to the top of the snow banks to give them some contrast.

The whole card was now ready to assemble.

Liquid glue was applied to the larger snowflake border and then applied directly onto the base card. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to the completed image, small snow drift and each of the rectangle die cuts. The larger die cut rectangle was popped up onto the centre of the snowflake base. Liquid glue was applied to the larger snow drift and it was applied directly to the smaller snowflake die cut. Another layer of U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape and some liquid glue were applied to the smaller snow drift then it was popped up onto the larger snow drift. The penguin and reindeer image was popped up behind the smaller snowdrift. I also applied some liquid glue to the foam tape so that it would adhere better to the sparkle cardstock. Lastly, I fussy cut a sentiment from Creative Expressions – Wordies Sentiment Sheets – Christmas Script and popped it up onto the top of the card.

Pre-Colored Snowflake Gnome!

Dec18

Today I’m sharing a Christmas CAS card that I made using KLM Digital Designs – Pre-Colored Snowflake Gnome from the new December 2024 Release. This pre-coloured image makes it very easy to create lots of last minute Christmas cards.

The base card was created to the size of 4.25″ x 5.5″ out of Hammermill – Premium 110 lb. cardstock. Whimsy Stamps – Blurry Flurries paper was cut to the same size and applied to the base card using double-sided tape.

The image was printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card and fussy cut.

Sitting Gnome – Flower Pot!

Dec13

Today I’m sharing a Spring card that I made using KLM Digital Designs – Sitting Gnome – Flower Pot from the new December 2024 Release.

The base card was created to the size of 4.25″ x 5.5″ out of Hammermill – Premium 110 lb. cardstock. Using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink – Salty Ocean and a blending brush, I applied the clouds in the sky with stencils that I had made previous using Avery Elle – Pierced Clouds Die. The grass was added in using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks – Mowed Lawn and Lawn Fawn – Clippings – Slimline Grassy Hillside Stencils.

The image was printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using High Quality Grayscale and coloured in with Copic markers listed below.  Using a Quickie Glue pen, I added some glitter to the butterfly dots, leaves and petals on the flowers. The image was fussy cut and a black marker was applied around the entire image. I applied a shadow in the grass where I knew I was going to position the flower pot. Then using stamps from Lawn Fawn – Garden Before ‘n Afters, I applied the sentiment with Versa Fine – Onyx Black ink. Ranger – Clear Super Fine Detail embossing powder was applied over top of the ink and then heat embossed using a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to the image and it was popped up onto the card.

The image was printed out with my HP Printer onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using High Quality Grayscale and coloured in with Copic markers, then fussy cut. I stamped the sentiment from Lawn Fawn – Celebration Scripty Sentiments using my MISTI and Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink – Lucky Clover onto Hammermill – Premium Cardstock 110 lb., then fussy cut around it. With a Cuttlebug and dies from Spellbinders Nestabilities – Classic Scalloped Ovals (LG) and Lawn Fawn – Magic Iris Behive Add-on, I die cut the large oval and tree branch. A Copic MultiLiner Sepia 0.1 was then applied to the branch to create some bark lines and Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Pine Needles was applied all around the oval die cut using a sponge dauber.

Penguin Candy Cane !

Dec5

Today I’m sharing another Christmas card that I made using Whimsy Stamps – Penguin Candy Cane.

The image was printed out with my HP Printer onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using High Quality Grayscale and coloured in with Copic markers. Once I finished colouring the image, I fussy cut around it.

The base card was created to the size of 4.25″ x 5.5″ out of Hammermill – Premium 110 lb. cardstock. Creative Expressions – Christmas Wishes paper was cut to be the same size as the base and was applied directly to the card using double-sided tape. A finger dauber was used to apply Tim Holtz Distress Inks – Candied Apple around all of the edges of the card. Using a Cuttlebug, I die cut the larger snowflake with Creative Expressions – Festive Collection – Lace Snowflake Frame and the smaller snowflakes with Poppy – Simple Snowflakes out of Lawn Fawn – Sparkle Cardstock in “Pixie Dust” paper. The holly and leaves were die cut using dies from Spellbinders – Dancin’ Figgy Pudding and some scraps of Recollections – Green cardstock and Crafter’s Companion Luxury Cardstock – Red. I used a Copic marker G99 to make the veins darker in the leaves and a White Gelly Roll Sakura #10 Pen to add a highlight on the berries and then used liquid glue to assemble them.

The whole card was now ready to assemble. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to the completed image and it was popped up onto the centre of the large snowflake. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was then applied to the large snowflake and it was popped up onto the centre of the card. Liquid glue was applied to the holly and berries and smaller snowflakes which were adhered directly to the card base. Lastly, I applied U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape to the sentiment from Hunkydory Essential Book of Christmas Sentiments 2023 and popped it up onto the corner of the card to finish it off.

Sleeping Polar Bear!

Dec4

Today I’m sharing a Christmas card that I made using Pink Gem Designs – Sleeping Polar Bear and a mixture of sentiments from Lawn Fawn – Penguin Party and Lawn Fawn – Winter Skies which I thought went great with this super adorable image!

The image was printed out with my HP Printer onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using High Quality Grayscale and then die cut using a Cuttlebug and My Creative Time – Rectangle Frame Layers. The image was coloured in with Copic markers and then a White Gelly Roll Sakura #10 Pen was applied to create the snow falling from the sky. Stickles – Frosted Lace was applied to the top of the snow, snow drifts, igloo and on the white parts of the hat. I just love the way it glistens!

The base card was created to the size of 4.25″ x 5.5″ out of Hammermill – Premium 110 lb. cardstock. Using some scrap Hammermill – Premium Cardstock 110 lb., I inked the paper using a finger dauber with Tim Holtz Distress Inks – Festive Berries that I still had on it. Then using a MISTI and VersaMark ink, I used Lawn Fawn – Penguin Party for the “Merry Christmas” sentiment and Lawn Fawn – Winter Skies for the “Hope your dreams come true” sentiment. Ranger Embossing Powder White – Extra Fine Detail was applied to both sentiments and then the embossing powder was heated with a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. Next, I used a cutter to cut close to the sentiment on the Recollections – Black cardstock and a Cuttlebug with Nellie’s Choice Multi Frame Die – Round Lily – MFD030 to cut the smaller sentiment. Gina Marie Designs – Nested Scalloped Stitched Rectangles were used to die cut the background border out of Crafter’s Companion Luxury Cardstock – Red Matte finish. Lastly, with a cutter, Stampin’ Up – Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper was cut to the same size as the base card and then edges were inked around using a finger dauber and Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Blueprint Sketch.

The card was now read to assemble. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied all of the die cuts and sentiments. They were then popped up and layered onto the card and image.

Matchbook Nativity!

Dec2

Today I’m sharing another miniature Match Book Christmas card using Art Impressions – MB Nativity – 5443 and MB Template Dies (5317). The closed size is 1.75″ x 2″.

To create the card, I began with the card base using Stampin’ Up! Wood Textures double-sided paper, Cuttlebug die-cutting machine and the Art Impressions – MB Template Dies (5317). From the same die set, the sentiment pop-up and star were cut out using Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock and Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock.

With Memento – Tuxedo Black ink and my MISTI, I stamped all of the images onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. I coloured in all of the images and then, using the Cuttlebug again, I die cut all of the inside pop-ups using Art Impressions – MB Nativity – 5443. The windows were done 4 times, 2 for the outside and 2 for the inside of the card. I cut a really small piece of plastic from a clear bag to be the same size as the window and glued it to the card before adding on the outside windows to simulate a window pane. Versafine – Majestic Blue was stamped onto the sentiment pop-up. Lastly, I die cut the envelopes using Craft Smith – Peppermint Twist double-sided paper and Art Impressions – MB Envelope Die (5318). (Not shown in photo.)

Double-sided tape was applied to do the assembly on the tabs. They were then all adhered to the base card. I created a little 1.5″ x 1.5″ white square and attached it to some Recollections – Red cardstock. I then cut around it again to create a slim border. I glued this onto the back of the card in order write my sentiment. The card was then folded up and put into the little match book envelope. Double-side tape was also applied to the flaps of the larger envelope to complete the assembly.

To create the card, I began with the card base using PhotoPlay – Christmas Memories double-sided paper, Cuttlebug die-cutting machine and the Art Impressions – MB Template Dies (5317). Using the same dies, I also die cut the flooring using Joy Crafts – Artist Trading Card – Tough Texture. This small paper is excellent for the small detail required. I glued this piece to the base and set it aside.

With Memento – Tuxedo Black ink and my MISTI, I stamped all of the images and the sentiment onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. I coloured in all of the images and applied Pental Slicci – Gold 8.0 pen to the lamp post. A Quickie Glue Pen was used to apply Glitter to Santa’s hat and clothing, the stockings, Christmas Tree Bulbs and on the wreath. With the Cuttlebug, I die cut all of the inside pop-ups using Art Impressions – MB Santa Christmas 5442 and the envelopes using Craft Smith – Peppermint Twist double-sided paper and the Art Impressions – MB Envelope Die (5318). (Not shown in photo.)

Double-sided tape was applied to do the assembly on the tabs and wall items. They were then all adhered to the base card as show above. I created a little 1.5″ x 1.5″ white square and attached it to some Recollections – Red cardstock. I then cut around it again to create a slim border.

Craft Smart – Hot Buy – Happy Pawlidays paper was cut to the same size and adhered to the base using double-sided tape.

With my Cuttlebug, I die cut Crafter’s Companion Luxury Cardstock – Red matte finish with PinkFresh Studio – Essentials: Folk Edge Squares.

The image was printed out with my HP Printer onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using High Quality Grayscale. The image was coloured in with Copic markers.

On the presents, a UNI Posca Pen – Gold was used on the ribbon and dots on the presents. Lastly, Stickles – Diamond was applied to the cuff of the hats, pompoms and snow on the ground.
