Merry Wishes

  I am still working away at my Christmas card to do list and this week I decided to do a card featuring Polar Bear Family from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. I have not used this stamp in a while so when I saw it I decided it was perfect for one of my cards this year. 

I coloured the stamp using Copic markers and cut it out with a circle die. Patterned paper from Echo Park was the perfect match for this adorable family. I cut the wood paper to fit the 5.5 x 5.5 inch base and cut the matching snowflake paper with a fishtail banner die. Next, I stamped the sentiment, cut it out with a circle die, added it to a matching card stock base and set it aside. I cut a snow bank with a stitched edge die and added some die cut trees from Memory Box. Once all of the pieces were glued down I added the stamped image and sentiment. Some sparkly snowflakes from a snowflake border, enamel dots and a bow finish off my card.

Christmas Wishes

 I have a few young men in my life who I give Christmas cards to but I always find it a challenge to figure out what stamp or stamps to use on their cards. I think Joey Snowy is absolutely adorable! and perfect for a masculine themed Christmas card. These young men all like and have a dog in their life so I masked the dog out of the "Christmas Treat" stamp to add to the card. 

Here's hoping this card works for one of the youngun's in my life and brings a smile. 

                                                                      

I stamped both stamps on alcohol marker friendly paper, coloured them with Copic markers and hand fussy cut them. I loved the colours of the Winter Magic paper from Echo Park and coloured my stamps to match it. 

I cut my card base and rounded the bottom front corners with a corner punch and cut the patterned paper and card stock to match. Next I cut some patterned paper using a rounded corner die to use as a back drop behind the stamps and added some ribbon to "ground" them. 

I stamped the sentiment, added it to matching card stock and cut some fish tail banner dies to go behind it. Some enamel dots finish off my card.
