The Magic of Christmas Never Ends

Today I'm posting with the All Dressed Up Digital Stamp Design Team as we share another round of inspiration with this month's new images.  I've selected Mistletoe Mouse and here's my completed card.

After coloring with Copic markers, I used the Gina Marie Lacey Layer Oval die as a Dome over the completed image.  Then die cut a straight edge oval out of the dark hunter green cardstock and mounted the image on the solid green.  After securing to the pine patterned background, I added the lighter green patterned strip across the bottom along with the embossed sentiment.  Next I secured this to the solid background and then to the card base.  I added the vintage chipboard button and tiny pearls on the mistletoe then completed the design with the addition of organza ribbon and bow at the fold. 

Thank you for stopping by today to view my blog. I enjoy sharing my work with you and invite you to 'Follow' my blog and to visit my site - "Not Just Scraps' on Facebook - where you can purchase my cards. 

I will be entering this card in the following challenges:

*** On my Nov 11th Facebook posting I challenged my followers to look for the next card with Jim's Hat.  I had used it the first time on Nov 5th with the Elephant.  As you can see, TODAY this card has Jim's hat 3 times - slightly modified to fit the dog's heads!  Karle' B was the first follower to message me identifying the challenge.  She wins the Jim the Snowman card posted on Nov 11th.  Thanks for following closely Karle' and others!

Silver Bells

 For my second card for Alpha 'S' in a Month of Holiday Cards on Beccy's Place, I've selected Silver Bells.

I wanted this one to be all about the image, so the papers and embellishments are all muted blues, grays and silver.  The Silver Bells were Copic colored and after fussy cutting the image out, I raised it on fun foam, then added to the center of the card front.

Quietly Reflecting

 For my card for Alpha 'Q' in a Month of Holiday Cards on Beccy's Place, I've selected another freebie, this one from way back in November, 2011.  That month Beccy gave us Mum's Coat #188 and then Mum's Quilted Coat #189,  You see, she has always been such a sweet and giving artist!

 As hard as it is some days to get a photo of snow effects or sparkles, these little houses sure reflected quite well.  They were just QUICK cut outs from a paper pack.

Oval Ornament

 For my card for Alpha 'O' in a Month of Holiday Cards on Beccy's Place, I've selected Holly Bauble. This was made available digitally in November 2019.

In previous years I've used this design as Beccy designed it.  I cautiously stretched the perfectly round ornament for this design to make it an Oval Ornament.  While resizing digital image to fit our designs is what makes them fun to work with we also have to be respectful of the designers work if we make the slightest change.  If you're ever in doubt, contact the designer first! 

I also colored the ornament in  two shades of Pale Orange along with the leaves are done in Lime Green and Ocean Green .

 For my card for Alpha 'N' in a Month of Holiday Cards on Beccy's Place, I've selected Christmas Goose who of course happens to be sitting on a Nest. While this started in the early 16th century as an European tradition, I for one am glad the Turkeys are plentiful for our feasts at Thanksgiving!

I am using several New dies for some of the cards in this monthly challenge.  This one is Gina Marie Designs Eyelet Elegance Rectangles and I really love the lacy effect it brings to the cards.

It's A Snowy Day

In Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Cards, the second 'wild card challenge' has been given. 

Use tartan, plaid or checked patterned to decorate our project.

During some of the 'Treasure Hunts' Beccy has us doing, I came across these two snow images from 2014.   Again 'Free' from Beccy, the generous artist!  

I've put them together to make this snowy day card in which I used a green background plaid cardstock as my accent pieces to meet the wild card challenge.

Get Your Merry On!

I'm back this afternoon to post with the All Dressed Up Digital Stamps Design Team as we open the November Challenge Blog.  I've selected their Christmas Penguin for my project today and made this Christmas card. 

 I sized the image for a 5 1/2" card base, then printed it and used Copic markers for the coloring.  Afterwards I trimmed closely along the top edge then inked with a black brush marker.

For the background I used a lighter pink cardstock and the Nellie Snellen Snow Embossing folder.  I added the blue mat to the square card base, then secured the embossed snow cardstock, then added the trimmed design at the bottom edge. Next I added the embossed sentiment at the top right and the addition of the coordinating organza ribbon and bow.  For the final touch I added the bell at the knot in the bow.
