Merry Christmas Snowmen

Hi there,

I created this sweet little Christmas Card using some of the adorable snowmen from the Mama Elephant Snowmen Agenda stamp set:

• cut out a frame and some heart inserts using the My Favorite Things Blueprints 20 die set, Gmund Beer Paper Weizen and red and green glitter paper
• stamp three of the snowmen from the Mama Elephant Snowmen Agenda with Memento Tuxedo Black
• color the images with Delta, Touch Twin Brush and Copic Markers
• cut out the Lawn Fawn Merry Christmas Border from green glitter paper as well
• create a background on a piece of Neenah Desert Storm Kraft cardstock with the help of tiny stamps from the Mama Elephant Oh Kitty Tree and Yappy Woofmas sets, Versamark and WOW! Bright White Super Fine embossing powder

Have a christmasy day.

Hugs,

Merry Christmas Bunny Badge

Hi there,

for this Karten-Kunst Christmas project I used my badge maker:

• stamp the adorable little bunny from the Karten-Kunst Viecher im Winter set with Lawn Fawn River Rock and color the image with Delta, Touch Twin Brush and Copic Markers
• turn the image into a badge using the Bandai Badge it!
• cut out the Karten-Kunst Brückentext Frohes Fest die from smooth white cardstock and add some stars from the Karten-Kunst Zaubersterne set with Versafine Onyx Black
• add some patterned paper behind the opening and mat the panel onto another piece of patterned paper before adhering it to a cardbase

Have a christmasy day.

Be Jolly Penguin

Hi there,

over the next four weeks I would like to show you some Christmas Projects using Gerda's adorable designs. My first project is this little penguin tag:

• stamp the adorable little penguin from the Gerda Steiner Designs Tangled Penguin set with Lawn Fawn River Rock onto a tag cut from smooth white cardstock
• mask the penguin and stamp the bauble box, mask that too and stamp the Christmas Tree into the background
• add the sentiment from the same stamp set
• color the images and the background with Delta, Touch Twin Brush and Copic Markers
• add highlights with a white gel pen
• thread two strings of twine through the hole of the tag

Have a christmasy day.
