Snow Happy

I coloured these up a few weeks ago, thinking I'd use them for winter birthdays, but decided to make them into Christmas cards instead.  This is "Snow Happy" from the Colorado Craft Company - illustrated by the amazing Anita Jeram.

I pulled out some ancient CTMH paper, and used Spellbinders dies to cut out the pine sprigs and sparkly leaves.

The images are coloured with Copic markers, and die cut with the Stitched Rectangle dies from The Greetery.

So happy to have my first two Christmas cards ready for this year!

Wonderful Time

I got two final Christmas cards made for 2023 today... although I plan to keep creating, and just add them to my stash for next year.  This is the Wonderful Time stamp set by Anita Jeram for Colorado Craft Company that my niece gifted me this fall!  I have a few of her sets, and really love them.  I pulled out my Copics, which was fun, as I haven't used them much lately.

I have another card made using the Conga Line stamp set from Colorado Craft Co. designed by Anita Jeram.  I posted one a few weeks ago that I painted with watercolours, and wanted to give it a try with my Copic markers - so here is my Copic version:

Such a great image!  And it works well as a slimline card.  I made sure to use fairly neutral colours so it can be a masculine or feminine card... and, I managed to get two of them made!

Conga Line!

 I am so excited to finally own one of the Anita Jeram stamp sets from the Colorado Craft Company.  She is the illustrator of the much loved children's book "Guess How Much I Love You", and her drawings are adorable.  This is "Conga Line" that I've painted up for my niece's birthday:

I used my Gansai Tambei watercolours, adding layers to build up the colours.  I'm still a bit new at this, but hope to paint this image many more times.  It made the perfect slimline card.

Happy Birthday, Allie!
