there will be 2 winners from the hop and all the details and the entire line-up can be found at the end of my post.
I have several cards to share with you today....the first one is using the adorable
I started with a black card base and added some designer paper from the DCWV~Home for Christmas paper pack. I added some zig zag machine stitching to the border and then tied some Totally Black Trendy Twine to a cute heart button.
For the main image, I stamped the cute snowman, added some color with my copic markers and then cut a frame around the snowman using my cameo. He was then popped up on my die cut Stitched XL Label Die from My Creative Time. Since the frame was black, I stamped the sentiment in white using some Colorbox Frost White Pigment ink.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For my next project, I made a set of 5 cards, all the same design but with different sentiments/pattern paper using the Holiday Wishes Stamp Set and a sketch from an older Retro Sketch design. You can click on the pics to bring them up larger if you want.
I used designer paper from My Mind's Eye~Lost & Found Christmas for all the cards. Each one is on a Kraft cardstock base, layered with a Bazzill card stock mat and the matching designer paper. For the embellishments, I used the matching enamel dots.
These cards are CAS, easy to replicate and make a great holiday card to mail to friends and family.
So there are my projects....I hope you have enjoyed them!!!!
