Holly Jolly Christmas

 Hi everyone!

I hope you are all doing well and are able to stay cool, especially with so many areas experiencing heat waves. It has definitely been a hot summer so far in my area.

Even with the heat, I have Christmas on my mind. Could be Christmas in July or maybe I am just dreaming of cooler temps haha!

Here is a look at my latest card that I created, using an oldie but goodie digital stamp from

  Digi Doodle Studios.

I love this stamp called, Rattata's Mistletoe from Digi Doodle Studios.

I think it is just the sweetest and I couldn't wait to print it out and get to coloring it with my Copics. 

Once I had it colored (I will list the colors used below), I fussy cut it out and set it aside while I built my card. I covered a white A2 cardbase with some red and white striped patterned paper. I die cut a white scallop rectangle and then ran it through my die cutting machine again to create a window using a metal oval die. I popped it up onto my card base with foam tape. I die cut a smaller oval using some vellum,  glued my mouse on top and then popped up the image into the window opening using more foam tape. The foam tape was pretty easy to hide behind the mouse. I decided my card needed a bit of sparkle so I pulled out some red glitter paper and a bow die to create that fun bow that I placed on top of my card. I stamped my sentiment using a stamp from MFT onto a piece of white cardstock, used a sentiment strip to cut it out and added a bit of sparkle behind the sentiment with more of the red glitter paper. I finished my card with some white doodles, a little pearl heart on his hat pin and some glossy accents to his ornament. So pretty!
