Merry Sentiments Merry Little Christmas Card with Vanessa

Hi there! Vanessa here with my first Christmas card of the year. You got to love the amazing new layering stamps like the Merry Sentiments set that can be used to create the cutest light bulbs!

I trimmed a piece of rustic cream cardstock slightly smaller than my grey card base and drew a string for the bulbs with a pencil. Then I stamped all the bulbs and adhered the panel to the card. I die-cut the "merry"from black fun foam and from pink cardstock and adhered it to the card. Now I stamped the sentiment onto a strip of pink cardstock, trimmed it and adhered it.

I love creating with the new stamp sets! Although I have to admit I am not in the mood for Christmas yet :) Hope to see you back next Thursday! Thanks for stopping by!

A Red, White & Blue Holiday Card with Lindsey

Hi! Lindsey here today sharing a holiday card using the new Gleeful Reindeer. I just love the cute little images in this set, and there is just so much you can do with it. Let's get started on how I created this card.

This card was a little different for me because I chose to do a 4 1/2" square card instead of the usual A2 size. I began with a red stitched square. On top of the red, I placed a 4"x 4" dark blue piece of cardstock that I cut some stars out of to make the night sky. To make the stars sparkle, I placed some silver, glitter cardstock behind the openings. Next, I created a moon using a die cut circle and some Copic markers. I colored the circle with a light gray and then added some darker gray circles to give it some dimension. 

I stamped the banner from the Little Angels set and added some shading with Copic markers. I stamped the sentiment from Gleeful Reindeer. Then I stamped and colored the reindeer with Copic markers. I cut the banner and reindeer using the coordinating dies. To finish the card, I added some Wink of Stella to the banner and some accents with a white gel pen.
