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.

A Sneak Peek of the Sitting Here Stampin'Up! Photopolymer Stamp Set

A sneak peek at the new "Sitting Here" photopolymer stamp set from Stampin'Up!'s 2016 - 2017 Annual Catalog.  Of course, my first card using the set had to have the DOG in it.  But, for a different look, there is also a cat, a great pot of planted flowers and more.  As a photopolymer stamp set, I was able to arc the saying to fit between the swing ropes.

The new 2016- 2018 In-Colors are featured on this card.  The dark blue is Dapper Denim, the pillows are Emerald Envy, Flirty Flamingo and Peekaboo Peach.  The fifth In-Color is a gorgeous lilac tone called Sweet Sugarplum.

The swing is stamped with Soft Suede ink onto Whisper White card stock, the dog outline is stamped using Stazon Timber Brown so that I could have water colored her.  However, I decided to color her with Daffodil Delight and highlight with Crushed Curry markers.  To make the swing look attached at the top, I used 3 lengths of Linen Thread as seen on page 159 of the 2015-2016 Annual Catalog.  The "grounding" aspect is stamped with Smoky Slate.  The background is sponged with Soft Sky and Smoky Slate.
