Gingerbread Christmas Cards

Hi everyone!

*Krafty Chicks Challenge: #789 Christmas*

*Freshly Made Sketches: #707*

Here is a look at the cards that I created...

Cute right?? I fell in love with this stamp set as soon as I saw it!

First I created my card front using the above sketch as my inspiration on how to lay out everything. I decided to cut some thin strips of white cardstock and glue them on top of my patterned papers so that I could add a little separation. I colored my little gingerbread from the Gingerbread Joy stamp set from Simon Says Stamp with my Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut it out. I placed it into the center of my circle and added the sentiment underneath. I added some glitter the the gumdrops on the gingerbread and placed some enamel dots and hearts to finish my card.

While I had everything out, I decided to make a second card.

I made this one the same way, just used different patterned papers and a different image/sentiment.

I thought that sentiment was absolutely perfect to go along with that image haha!!

So cute!!

Stellar Birthday!

Hi everyone!

I hope you are having a fabulous day so far!

Today I am popping in real quick to share a card that I created with a couple of challenges in mind.

Here is a look at the card...

I purchased this adorable image called Ainsley Astronaut from Digi Doodle Studios a couple of weeks ago, colored her up with my Copic markers and set her aside! You know how that goes right? You just get busy with other things, or is that just me? haha! Well, I came across her when I was cleaning off my desk and sat down and turned her into a card before I forgot again haha!

I started with a white A2 top folding card base and added a light purple strip towards the bottom and doodled around the perimeter of my card front. I did a little ink blending to create a galaxy background and added some white and gold paint splatters. Once my galaxy was dry, I used a scallop rectangle die to cut it out and placed it onto my card, centering it as best as I could. I cut out my astronaut using my Scan N Cut and popped her onto my card with some foam tape. I cut out my sentiment using a banner die and placed that underneath her, trying to align it with the purple strip that is behind the background panel. I die cut some stars, placed them onto my card and added a few white doodles to her outfit to complete my card.

I think this turned out so cute!!
