Stampin' In Alaska

  Happy Monday!  My Mom and I enjoyed a little crafty time on Saturday.  She makes 100 Christmas cards each year to mail and for people at church.  Well, I made 3 cards during our time together and she made SEVEN (only 93 more to go)!  Below is a picture of her creations. As you can see, we both enjoyed using the Stamplorations Two Reindeer die cut  and Be Joyful Ephemera Tiles .  My card features the reindeer cut in gold glitter.  It has been layered onto designer papers from Hobby Lobby.  The wreath die is Spellbinders with red Stickles for added bling.

  Happy Monday!  I hope everyone is adjusting to daylight savings time in the US. I'm sharing a sweet Christmas design featuring Pajama Crafter Stamps Cozy Chirps set .  The image was colored with Prismacolor pencils and blended with baby oil.   I carefully fussy cut the image and gently layered it onto the card. I am also excited to share a sneak peek of the Gingham & Grace designer papers, which will be released later this month by Pajama Crafter Stamps. The 6x6 paper pack includes 24 double-sided sheets featuring 12 cozy, country-inspired designs, and I absolutely love the quality of these papers!

  Christmas has arrived at Pajama Crafter Stamps with this festive hanging squirrel.  He is peeking in the window to wish you happy holidays! The Process The shaker design features the adorable Squirrelly Christmas set and Christmas Peeks.  The sweet squirrel image was colored with Copic markers fussy cut then layered with paper from my stash.  I created the shaker by recycling clear plastic packaging and layering it between the window dies. The Finishing Touches I cut the "bough" away from an image in the Christmas Peeks stamp set.  It will easily reassemble to use with the fox for future projects.  A great way to extend your stamping products!  The card was finished with glitter glue, gems and coordinating sentiments from the Squirrelly Christmas stamp set.

The card base is a Gelli Print which was created using acrylic paints and a Memory Box snowflake stencil.  The Psalm 23 Background stamp from Creative Worship Stamps was stamped in Majestic Blue Versafine ink then light white paint splatters were applied. I went "old school" creating the snowy base by tearing then inking the edges of white card stock.  The dies were adhered and finished with silver cord and a sentiment from Colorado Craft Company.

  I've created a couple of snowy cards tonight. Both cards were stamped onto gloss photo paper from my stash.  I have several stacks of the photo paper that comes with printers.  Since I never print photos I decided to experiment with ink blending and stamping tonight.   The first card was created using the emboss resist technique and stamps from Unity Stamp Company.  The second was ink blended then stamped with Versafine Black ink.  Various distress inks were used for the base.
