Christmas Card #2

Here's another of the Christmas cards I made this past weekend. This one I CASEd from Sankari Sunshine blog. Her card is quite beautiful! I did the best I could with what I had, but it's not near as pretty.

Pickle Penguin and Milton Bear Toppers

I bought some new stamps a few months ago intending to get a jump on my Christmas cards. I found these adorable stamps by Milton & Co. Stamps featuring Pickle Penguin and Milton the bear and some of the new Penny Black Mimi Christmas Stamps. I was really excited and sat right down to color, and color and color, but no card making inspiration... :(

Hero Arts Holiday Ornaments Set

I saw this Hero Arts stamp used on My Cricut Scrapbooking and just fell in love with it. It was another must have for me, which happens all too frequently!

Inspired by that card, I have made my version. I have tried not to outright copy hers, but the use of gold and not coloring in the ornaments all the way are truly inspired by her card.

I've made mine into a set of 4 and have them up on my Etsy card shop.

More of the Simple Life

In keeping with my simple cards series I've made several from the Lili of the Valley stamps that I got in the mail a few weeks ago. I love these stamps, and really wanted almost all that they had, but I limited myself to only 7. Of the 7 I've used 6 in my simple Christmas cards. I'll show 1 or 2 here, but the rest will be in my Etsy card shop for viewing or purchasing.

It seems when I buy stamps I tend towards bears and snow people, so much so that sometimes I tell myself, "no, don't get another ________, get something different." But of course, what is most appealing is what I already know that I like!

So here's a bunch of bears and 1 rabbit.
