Christmas begins right here...

Hi there! 

I was playing with more of the stamps from the Christmas Cheer release at Hello Bluebird and just like the Fall release, I couldn't resist inking up the fantastic moose right off the bat. He is part of the Christmas Tree Farm set and I paired him with the big bear from the Perfect Tree set. Together, the story reads that brown bear has found the perfect Christmas tree and now Mr Moose is coming to chop it down. I think that is what I'm especially loving about these latest Hello Bluebird releases, every set really feel like they are made for story telling. To frame this particular holiday story I once again used the Ric Rac Card die and Ric Rac Frame die because it is such a cute finishing touch. Well, I hope your Christmas decorating is farther along than these two, because the big day is almost here!

Have a good one!

Hi friends!    

I've got another card to share using stamps from the new Frosty Winter Wishes collection at Purple Onion Designs. All six of the delayed stamps are still available in the store as a bundle deal for 25% OFF through December 19th.

Today, I've worked the adorable Mousy Mail into an oversized postage stamp style card. The snowy background was kept super simple so that it wouldn't compete with the postmark from the Vintage Holidays Postmark set and the large Postage Cancellation Mark. In contrast, Mousy Mail was colored in all of the bright and cheery Christmas colors with an extra cute sweater decorated with gingerbread cookies. The red of his cap in particular, creates a pleasing visual triangle when paired with the red lettering of the sentiment and the Postage Cancellation Mark in the opposing corners of the design. This cutie is definitely another personal fave from this release.  :)

Toodles!

Supply list:
cardstock- Bazzill and Copic X-Press It
stamps- Purple Onion Designs (Mousy Mail, Vintage Holidays Postmark set, Postage Cancellation Mark and sentiment), Waffle Flower Crafts (XL Postage Collage)

Good morning!

This card was colored Live over on my Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page during the The Stockings Were Hung digi release at Sweet November Stamps. The scene was put together using Allison and the Rustic Fireplace scene builder, along with the stocking and garland from the Corner Room: Christmas Decor Add On digi set and the rug from the Corner Room and Accessories digi set. Once I had printed it out I also stamped in a little kitty from the Bountiful Blessings: Squeeze the Day clear set. It was another delightful Live with so many great suggestions coming in and the best news is that this Live is one of the first that Tee has been able to transfer over to the Sweet November Stamps YouTube channel. Now we don't have to worry about it disappearing in a month.  :)

Hope you have a wonderful week!
