MLCCB #62: Christmas Dogs and Cats

Hello Crafty Friends :o)   I'm sure many of you are working on your Christmas projects, always nice to have a great start.  If you are one that doesn't wait until the last minute, make sure to join us at MLCCB, where it's Christmas year around. 

Keeping the design very simple because I wanted the paper my son picked out to really be the focal point of this card.  A stamped sentiment with coordinated die was all that was needed, maybe a snowflake brad.

Here's the inside.

thanks for looking and reading.

stamp: Simon Says: Winter Birds with dies

paper: Cardstock Warehouse: Paper Bag, the Paper Studio: Festive Cats & Dogs

Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog #58: Cozy Mouse in the House?

 Hello crafty freinds :o)  We are approaching the Holiday Season very fast, don't blink or you will miss it ... might not be a bad idea.  This post is for MLCCB, Anything Christmas is wanted.

Another Christmas card ready to send. If a mouse could be this cute, maybe it could stay cozy next to the fireplace in the house.  The image is Festival Mouse from Kit and Clowder, part of the bonus image for the month of September of 2023 coloring class.  Alyce usually has many of the older classes online, so you can still learn how to color and learn new techniques.  

This image was colored with my Prismacolor pencils following the class techniques.

 

Here is the inside.

Some crystals were place to give the card a little bling.

Love to Craft! Challenge Blog #78: Heaven Cardinals Visiting

 Hello and Happy New Year Crafty Friends!!!  

This post is for Love to Craft Challenge Blog, Anything crafty goes.  Please check out all the sisters blog for some great inspiration.

Sometimes people ask you to craft things they have seen and it's up to the "crafty" person to craft up something they see in the head, make it come to life.  This is a wooden 3" circle with 2 stamps the I colored with my color pencils.  

I stamped the cardinal first.  Then use a masked stamp to cover it up to overlay the second stamp.

The second stamp was a branch for him to sit on.  

On the back, I hand painted the sentiment that she wanted.  Leather cord was used to finish it off.

When I was looking through the internet for a cardinal stamp, I found the company that she saw this inspiration project.  (kendrick home)
