Happy Sunday!  Hope everyone has had a good weekend!  I've had lots of time to work on Christmas cards this weekend ~ hoping to get everything in the mail within the next couple of days!

For today's card, I've use one of the Tildas from the new Magnolia Christmas collection.  I just love her!  I'm not usually a fan of blue on a Christmas card, but I just love how this card turned out in blues and browns!!

I didn't keep track of all the colors I used.  I was at a friend's house when I colored this, and I was too busy talking, I guess!   :o)
I'm going to post quite a few pictures of this card.  It's my first go at a trifold card, and I really had fun making it!  It was easier than I thought it would be!
Enjoy!!

Hope you have a great week!

December 9, 2011 ~ Another post!

Well, I'm back with another Christmas card!  This is different for me ~ the colors are much brighter than I usually use ~ but I really love this card!

I used Bazzill cardstock for the base and the matting layers.  The DP's were from a seasonal paper pad I bought at Hobby Lobby.  The buttons, ribbon, twine, flowers, and brads were from my stash.  The sentiments are stamped with Studio G stamps.  I also used Studio G glitter glue in green and red to hilight the flower and inside sentiment panel.  The sentiments are stamped on labels punched with an EK Success punch. 

Tilda was stamped on Copic XPress-It cardstock and colored with Copics:

Hair:  E35, 50, 57

Hat/Pants:  YG05, 06, 07, 09

Shirt/Boots/Tassel:  R24, 27, 29, 59

Hair bows/Shirt Neckband:  YG21, 23

SkinL  E000, 00, 11, R20

Shadow:  N0

White Signo Pen

The gift on the inside of the card was stamped on Copic XPress It cardstock and colored with Copics.

Ribbon:  R24, 27 ,29, 59

Box:  YG21, 23, 25

Holly:  R29, YG09

I'm please with this fun little card!

Long time, no post!  LOL!!  I've been busy with work and trying to get my Christmas shopping done and card finished up.  Just a couple more cards to go and I'll be ready to pop them all in the mail!

Here's a Christmas card I made.  Hope you like it!

This is my first attempt at using my new Imagine!  I love how you can coordinate the colors of all of your cuts so easily!  I made this card using the Snow Angel and Winter Woodland cartridges, some baker's twine, a few red gems, some white ink and a snowflake stamp, and some Stickles.

See my Christmas cactus blooming on the left side of the pictures?  It had tons of blooms this year!  I put it outside in a shaded area all summer, never watered it (just let Mother Nature take care of that), and brought it in before the first frost.  I did the same thing last year, and got tons of blooms then, too.

Back later with a post of another card I made!
