Not A Bill

I have quite a few Christmas cards I need to mail each year and I hope that the people who receive them are happy it isn't a bill showing up in their mailbox. "Not A Bill" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps is perfect for sending some holiday cheer. It come with grass under his feet and by the mailbox post but I chose to fussy cut him and add some snowbanks to make a Christmas card.

                                      

                               

I coloured this cutie with Copic markers after stamping him on alcohol marker friendly paper and hand fussy cut him. I did the same thing for the tree and added some Stickles for "snow". Patterned paper from Mintay was the perfect backdrop for this outdoor scene. I added some snow banks and cut thin strips of card stock to glue on top to give the stamp a place to "rest" and create another snow bank. I tucked the mailbox post and tree in behind the first snow bank,  glued them down and stamped and added the sentiment. Some simple enamel dots finish off the card.

Winter Moose Trio

 Now that most of the birthday cards I need are done I can focus on the next big thing...Christmas cards!!!! I also need to make a ton of them so with some cooler weather where I live this weekend, I was inspired to officially start the Christmas season..... in my craft room as least! I am starting off the season with a trio of cards featuring Winter Moose from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. 

How cute is he!!?? 

                                                                                 

I stamped the moose three times on alcohol marker friendly paper, coloured them with Copic markers and hand fussy cut two and cut one with a rectangle die. Next I got out some of my Echo Park paper pads and my stash and cut each piece to fit my card bases. 2 are A2 size and the square card is 5" x 5". I laid out each design and glued everything down. I added clear sparkle pen to the snowflakes and on the blue and card with the circle on it, popped the stamp up with 3D foam dots. Ribbon, enamel and sparkly dots and Star Dust Stickles on the hats and scarves finish off my cards.
