Christmas Cards all Year Round

The new challenge at Christmas Cards all Year Round started on Jan 1st and the theme is anything goes Christmas. Today is the mid month post with a new card.

I made this card with a stamp by Hero Arts and ink by Stampin Up. I fussy cut the image out and set an eyelet by Making Memories at the top. Then I placed Martha Stewart gold string through the eyelet and taped it onto the back. The upper patterned paper is by Karen Foster and the lower is by Hot off the Press. The sentiment die cut is by My Mind's Eye. The lace is old from MIL's stash. This card size is 5x7 which is odd for me.

Thanks for looking.

Thursday Elsa Sassy

Sassy Studio Designs new Thursday challenge is 

It's my Thang

which means use your favorite color

Since I've been making so many Elsa cards, I figured my favorite colors right now are blue and white. I printed Elsa on Cryogen cardstock and colored her in with Copic Markers. Then I die cut her out with a Creative Memories cutting system oval and I inked the edges with Ranger's distress ink. Elsa's cape is colored in with Stardust powdered chalk mixed paint both by Stamp N Plus. I just mix the two together and apply it to the image with a paint brush. The paper behind Elsa is white cardstock by Recollections that I also painted with the chalk mixture. then I border cut the edges and corners with a punch by Martha Stewart.

The background patterned paper is by Making Memories, the cardstock on the bottom is dry embossed with a Spellbinders folder and the seam is covered by a EK Success border punch out of Coredinations glitter paper. I used the same glitter paper on the small Sizzix die cut at the bottom, behind the die cut hello. The sentiment die cut is by Spellbinders.

Wow, that was a ton of product in one little card. Hopefully I didn't bore you to tears. Thanks for looking.

Sassy Studio Elsa Friend

I have a new sponsorship card for Sassy Studio Designs. It is for the challenge blog Aud Sentiments and the challenge is anything goes with a sentiment.

I used the Elsa inspired digi stamp. I printed her out onto Cryogen cardstock and colored her in with Copi Markers. Then I die cut her out with a Spellbinders die and inked the inside of the die with distress ink. The background paper is by Three Bugs in A Rug and the border is by Creative Memories. I embellished with a snowflake brad by The Paper Studio and a sticker by Jolee's. The sentiment and ink are by Hero Arts on a die cut from my Cricut. 

Thanks for looking.
