Lawn Fawn~Cozy Christmas with Winter Owl

Hey everyone!  Today I am sharing a few cards I have made this week.  I loved the Winter Owl stamp set from Lawn Fawn, and would be so cute to have the owls snuggled up on a tree branch waiting for Santa.  I had so much fun with the stamp sets, I made it once with all the dies...and again using masking to make a single layer card also.  I hope you like them!

Louis Vuitton Card~My Favorite Things

Hey everyone!  I'm excited to share my latest card, a little different...sharing my love for purses.  It has been a serious love for me, since as long as I can remember.  As soon as I saw the stamp set from My Favorite Things, I fell in love.  I'm a sucker for all things French, or travel related really.  But, then I saw the purses~love!  If you saw my latest haul video, then you already know MFT is my newest obsession.  So, here is my card:

Tutorial coming soon!

Mama Elephant~Reindeer Games

Hey everyone!  My last card share for today is using my favorite stamp set from the Mama Elephant release, Reindeer Games.  I made a mask using the cloud die to use for a fluffy snow background.  Then I made a stencil out of masking material to create the cityscape in the background.  Then I masked everything off and made a winter night sky background with distress inks.  I colored the reindeer with Copics and then added some Wink of Stella and Liquid Glass on their cute little noses.  I masked off the sled, to extend it.  I wanted to create a sled with the reindeer dancing on it.  This was such a fun card to make...until I went to use my planned sentiment "It's Time to Jingle" stamp, from the stamp set Jingle Greetings...and I could not find it anywhere!  I set it aside until I was finished blending the distress inks.  Lol, after almost crying over a lost stamp, and offering my kiddos a hefty reward if they found it...I decided to just use an alphabet set to spell out "jingle".  Lesson learned.  ;(

Stamps:  Mama Elephant~Reindeer Games, Christmas Spirit, and sadly Jolly and Merry, Sketchy Letters

Wplus9~Drummer Boy

Hey everyone!  Did I mention I'm currently obsessed with Wplus9 stamps and dies lately???  If you happened to watch my haul video, you already know what's coming...I wanted to jump up and down when I saw the Wplus9 holiday release of the Drummer Boy stamp set!  I totally embarrassed myself going a bit crazy over a stamp set, lol.  I had wanted a stamp set like this for so long, I thought I would have to draw it myself.  Ok, in my defense...I have only been making cards for a little over two years.  But, I do think it is so adorable, and I'm telling all of my crafty friends it's a must have!  My first card I cut out an oval window, so the night sky would show through.  I colored the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens.  I used the companion dies to cut the images out and adhered them to the desert landscape.  I popped some of the images up with foam tape.

I had so much fun with this set, I had to keep playing!  So, for my second card I combined Drummer Boy with Wishing You.  I used Distress Inks to create this simple card, and just did a bit of masking.  I masked off a section to highlight where the star would shine down on the town of Bethlehem.  Then I made the sky sparkle with some embossed stars and Perfect Pearls.  I'm so happy I picked up this Drummer Boy set before it sold out.  All I need to be happy now is a star of Bethlehem Star Die!  If anyone has I seen one, please let me know.

Wplus9~Amaryllis

Hey everyone!  My next cards to share are using the beautiful stamp set from Wplus9, Amaryllis.  I stamped the image had to try out my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.  I've had them for awhile, but never had time to play with them much.  Then I watched a great video by Sandy Allnock, showing how she dipped the water brush in water first...then colored!  I loved this look and this technique made me fall in love with these markers!  Here are my cards:
