Father Christmas is here again!

Father Christmas was fun to color with Stampin' Write Markers!  The Father Christmas stamp set is on page 22 of the Holiday catalog.

I used Very Vanilla as the A2 card base.

The 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Old Olive card stock was embossed with the Holly embossing folder as seen on page 195 of the Annual catalog.  Then I lightly sponged along the embossed areas with Old Olive ink.

Father Christmas is on a  2 1/4" x 3 3/4" piece of Very Vanilla card stock.  He is stamped with Stampin' Up! Archival Black Ink so when I colored the image, it would not get muddy from the black ink.   His robe is colored with Cherry Cobbler ink.

Everything else is colored with Stampin' Write Markers that stuck my eye at the time.  I made several of these cards and used different colors for the toys on each card.

The colored piece is glued onto 2 3/8" x 3 7/8" Cherry Cobbler card stock.

All white areas on Father Christmas are painted with Clear Wink of Stella for a festive look. 

The sentiment is stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink onto a Very Vanilla scrap of card stock and then die cut with the new Layering Squares Framelits on page 193 of the Annual catalog.

The ribbon is Cherry Cobbler 3/8" Taffetta.  The square sentiment is tied on with Cherry Cobbler Metallic Thread.  Both are in the 2016 Holiday catalog on pages and 20 and 7, respectively.

Here comes another Santa Train with Christmas Magic

Christmas Magic Stamp Set with Black Stazon Ink stamps the train and North Pole Sign onto Whisper White card stock.  The distant trees from the same set are stamped and stamped off using Crumb Cake ink.  I used Stampin' Write Markers for the train and packages.  I used an almost dry Aqua Painter with Smokey Slate ink to tint the smoke.  The card base is Whisper White. The "matted frame" is Basic Gray card stock which has been cut with Layering Squares Framelits from the 2016-2017 Annual Catalog.  The Real Red ribbon trim is retired but can be substituted with the current Real Red Stitched Satin Ribbon.  The North Pole sign is fussy cut and adhered with stampin' dimensionals. 

All supplies for this card are available in my on-line store here.  Thank you for shopping with me.

Two Trains Pulling Lots of Santa's Goodies!

Christmas Magic Stamp Set with Black Stazon Ink stamps the train and North Pole Sign onto Whisper White card stock.  The distant trees from the same set are stamped and stamped off using Crumb Cake ink.  I used Stampin' Write Markers for the train and packages.  I used an almost dry Aqua Painter with Smokey Slate ink to tint the smoke.  The Whisper White card stock is mounted onto Basic Black and both onto Cherry Cobbler card stock.  The card base is Whisper White. 






I used the same stamp set for this train.  Colored the greens and toys with inks and an Aqua Painter.  The background trees from a retired stamp set are stamped and stamped off with Old Olive ink.

I attempted to have the train coming down a hill by cutting the Real Red and Smokey Slate card stocks at an diagonal.  The retired ribbon is from 2015.


Both cards have the North Pole sign stamped on Whisper White, colored with various inks using an Aqua Painter and then fussy cut.  They are mounted with dimensionals.

All of the supplies for these cards may be purchased from my on-line store here.

Thank you for shopping with me!  Enjoy a happy holiday season.
