Christmas Believe

I not sure which I need more of .... snowman or penguin Christmas cards. I have friends and family who love them so I end up colouring a lot of each every year. Thankfully, High Hopes Rubber Stamps has lots of snowman stamps. "Believe Snowman"  is one of my favourites and I make at least one card (it's usually more <smile>) with this stamp every year. 

                                                                                      

                         

After stamping on alcohol marker friendly paper, I coloured with Copic sketch markers and cut the stamp out with a slash stitched die. I added some Star Dust Stickles the to the snow and icicles - I like a bit of sparkle on my Christmas cards. Patterned paper from Echo Park was perfect to create my card design with. After cutting the layers, everything was glued together and glued down on the card. I stamped the sentiment and added it under the ribbon bow. Some enamel dots finish off my card.

Believe Snowman

I love snowmen and I am excited to be able to introduce you to "Believe Snowman" from the Christmas Release 2 at High Hopes. 
He and his bird friends are too cute and the perfect way to spread some Christmas cheer! I tried to keep my card layout fairly simple to keep the focus on this sweet stamp. 

I coloured up this sweet stamp with alcohol markers and cut it out with a circle die. I used my Fiskars circle cutter to cut a card stock piece to put behind it. Star Dust stickles was added to the snow on his hat and the roof tops, and sign. Sprinkled Sugar stickles were added to the snow - this one goes on clear but dries with sparkly texture - so fun! and perfect for snow. 
Next I got out my big kick and cut out some pine leaves and snowflakes. The snowflakes are from a border die I have. I just cut them and then trimmed the flakes and curly cues out that I wanted. The top flakes are popped up with a foam dot and are cut from matching glitter paper. Some glitter ribbon and gum drops finish off my card.
