Have the Happiest Holidays...

 

 

Hey there!

I'm back with three more cards to share using stamps from each of the new Christmas collections that released last week at Purple Onion Designs. There you will find the latest Stacey Yacula collection, Whispering Pines, new cuties from Chilliezgraphy by Pei in the Tofu and Friends Season's Greetings collection, and the Winterwood collection from newly added artist, Holly Mabutas. All three have bundle deals where you can save 30% OFF when you purchase them by this Friday, November 15th. 

First up, I paired three of the fun sledding critters from the Winterwood collection, and have them racing down this mini slimline card. Finn, the fox, Benjamin, the badger, and Poppy and Little Herbert, the cat and hamster, are all bundled up for a day of frosty fun out on the snowy hillside. The little speech bubble sentiments are from the Holiday Blurbs II set and I think they perfectly capture the over all playfulness of this card.

For my next card, we are heading back to the tree farm with the Whispering Pines collection. The Baby Animal Farm set, which includes a little donkey, goat and lamb, make up the cutest petting zoo that Buck is visiting during his holiday break. The background is a mix of the new Perfect Pines with the older Barn stamp. The sentiment is from the Essential Holiday Greetings set.

 

Finally, this sweet trio that make up the Christmas Present image are exchanging gifts beneath the Sparkle Tree on Christmas morning. The warmth and love of the holiday season are all around them and the Holiday Marquee Sentiment ties everything together.

Thanks for stopping by!

A pile of fun...

Good morning!

I've had this fun leaf raking scene all stamped up and ready to color since the release of the September Fall Expanded kit at Hello Bluebird. With there only being a couple of kits left, I figured I had best get these sweet critters from the Fall Clean Up Crew onto a card. I stamped and masked them into a tight little group surrounded by the piles of leaves that they have made. Bright, Fall colors were used on their clothing and the surrounding landscape. I added the tree trunks by tracing the Birch Trees die directly on the card stock then coloring them in as well. The Gallery Frame #3 was used to contain the completed scene in a cheery yellow that matches back to the leaves. It makes me happy to have these cuties off my desk and on a card of their own.  :)

Bundle up and have a wonderful week!

Merriest Wishes to You...

Olo!

So yesterday I went Live over on my Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page with this idea to create a postage collage card using just the Santa and reindeer from the Christmas Minis set at Sweet November Stamps. I really liked the idea of having Santa surrounded by his team of happy reindeer who are too busy playing reindeer games to stop and pose for a photo, LOL! Sure, it may have gotten a bit repetitive coloring up all of those reindeer but the end result turned out exactly as I hoped it would. Once all of the coloring was done we even had time to stamp on all of the fun postage images from Waffle Flower and get this cheery postage collage glued onto a card base, which left me feeling extra crafty.  ;)

Alrighty then, enjoy the rest of your weekend!
