Happy Holidays!

This is the card our family sent out this year. Aren't we the cutest little snow family ever? :)

(The inside says "from all of us")

Have a wonderful Christmas, everyone!

12 Days of Christmas ... Day 12

Santa Fox!

Eek! I just love love love this card. Isn't mister fox just so handsome in his santa hat? And look at his little bird friend riding along on his back. Too cute! Now, I don't know if anyone else has put the santa hat on the fox, so I can't take credit. I do know that I hadn't seen it done and litterally squealed out loud when I realized the hat was a perfect fit for him. :) I was wishing I had a stamp that said Ho Ho Ho, and remembered I had the Yo Ho Ho stamp ... so I made it work! I also used the shadow trick with my Warm Grey No. 2 - just traced around the fox to make him stand out in the snow a bit. And an Onyx pearl on his nose ... hee hee! :)

Supplies: Arctic Fox, Tiny Bird, Yo Ho Ho, Santa Hat, Swiss Red Solid 4-Bar Notecard, Slate Grosgrain Stitch Ribbon, COPIC - Lipstick Red, Warm Grey No. 2, Onyx Pretty Pearls

That wraps up my 12 Days of Christmas blog event. I hope you enjoyed the creations I've shared! Happy Holidays to you and yours ... from me and mine. :)

Elegant Ornaments!

This stamp is just so versatile. It looks great in traditional Christmas colors of red and green, but I dare you to try some other colors as well! I've made some cards just like this one but in different color schemes - two shades of pink, purple, or blue. Or just red and white! The possibilities are endless. This is definitely a stamp you need in your holiday collection. :)

Supplies: Elegant Ornaments, Merry Christmas RM, Swiss Red Sheer Ribbon, Lime Solid Shimmer Couture Paper, Swiss Red 4-Bar Notecard, COPIC - Lipstick Red, Celedon Green, Clear Twinkle Stickers

Can you believe it's almost Christmas?

See you tomorrow for one of my favorite little cards of the season. :)

Rocket Elf!

I've seen a few similar creations from fellow A Muse creative team members. Isn't it just too fun? A little tip with the Cityscape stamp ... simply outline the buildings with Warm Grey No. 2, and fill in a few random windows with Buttercup Yellow. Ta-dah! Love this look.

Supplies: Rocket Elf, Cityscape, Christmas Wishes MA, Tiny Gift, Fern Solid 4-Bar Notecard, COPIC - Lipstick Red, Grass Green, Warm Grey No. 2, Buttercup Yellow, Sepia, Baby Skin Pink

See you tomorrow!

Girl with Sled!

I think she's just the cutest with her sled of pretty gifts. I especially love the color combo of red, pink, and grey. And that fat gingham ribbon! Love.

Let Heaven and Nature Sing!

I'm in love with the colors and glitter on this card. I wasn't sure about the snow bunny until I used him ... isn't he just adorable? I was inspired to cut out the sentiment like that after seeing a card by another A Muse Creative Team member, but I can't remember who it was. Thanks for the inspiration! :)

Bonus! All of the stamps used on today's card are ON SALE NOW at the A Muse website!

Have fun shopping!
