More Christmas fun at Colorado Craft Company!

 


Hello there!

Are you ready for not one but two new releases at Colorado Craft Company? That's right, not only is there a new Winter Holiday collection from Kris Lauren but also a few more Christmas stamps from Anita Jeram as well. To celebrate this release 3C is giving away a new stamp set from each stop on the hop, so the more you comment the more chances you have to win. Entries will be accepted until midnight eastern time on December 3rd and winners will be randomly selected by 3C and announced on their blog December 5th. They are also doing a bundle giveaway to ONE lucky winner who will get to choose either the Anita Jeram collection or the Kris Lauren collection. To be entered for that, all you have to do is use one of the designer's affiliate links when you place an order. Those links can be found on the 3C blog as well as the complete list of hop participants, which I will share here:

As soon as I saw the various mug stamps by Kris Lauren, I thought it would be fun to create a coordinating set of cards using all three of them. This time around I kept the sets together when building each mug but I can't wait to start mixing and matching the various toppings to create different looks on future cards. This first one features the Santa Cheer Mug set colored in the traditional reds and greens of the season. 


Next, is the cute Cozy Reindeer Mug set piled high with extra whip cream and chocolate shavings.


And finally, we have the Snowman Hug Mug set complete with delicious marshmallows and a candy cane stick for stirring the hot cocoa inside. 

 

The first two sets that I inked up from the new Anita Jeram stamps are the Ice Holiday set and the Furry Christmas set.  


T
he Ice Holiday set is full of fun penguins that you can dress up with the little hats and scarves that are also included in the set. I decided to color these ones up as a family of Emperor Penguins all decked out in their holiday winter gear.


The playful pup in the Furry Christmas set reminded me of a yellow lab that I follow on Instagram called, good.boy.tato, so he was my coloring inspiration for this card. I love that the entire scene is all one stamp, which saves time from having to stamp and mask it all together. 

Alrighty, thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the hop!

Your artwork is lovely. The dog looks like he's ready to deliver his gift right off the card (great shadow work). But your penguins...a true favorite! Who doesn't like an Emperor in a winter scarf?! Inspiration to buy all the sets.
