Owl be yours

     For some reason the sunlight and my light box lights combined to give off a blue hue to this photo which matched perfectly with the colors of my card.  Couldn't do that on purpose if I tried.  LOL

Art Impressions Woodland Holiday set includes this adorable owl all wrapped up in his fluffy scarf and hat.

Enjoy your weekend!

Nativity scene

     Today I'm sharing one of Art Impressions adorable Circlet Mini Tryfold sets called Nativity.  There are so many different ways you can use these sets.  I've used Art Impressions Hexagon Double Stitched dies to create three panels that I added the individual scenes to.

     Using a brad, I attached them to the front of the card.  Just swing each one to the side to view the next scene.

     Coloring was done with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol.  I added some die cut stars to the card front and covered them in shimmer pen.

     Feeling a bit better but I have no voice.  LOL

     Be blessed.

Jingle all the way

     These two look like they have all they need to go home and decorate their tree...if they don't lose it along the way with that bears crazy driving.  LOL.  Art Impressions Woodland Holiday Set is packed with cute critters for your holiday needs.

Wheelie snowman

     Alright, here we go with the Christmas creations.  I do have a couple of non-Christmas makes to throw in the mix that are also from Art Impressions newest release, but I'm going to get posting on the Christmas cards.  

     The first make uses the new Snowman Wheelie set.  These wheelie sets are so much fun if you want to add a little interaction to your card.  Just turn the little handle on the inside of the card and Mr. Snowman will start pedaling like crazy.

     I broke out some white glitter paper and die cut a circle to pop behind the snowman and a strip for the bottom of the card.  The tag die is from Art Impressions too.  They have some fantastic die sets as well as all their great stamps.

     The holidays are upon us.  Hope you're enjoying them.

     Be blessed!

Valerie with snowman

     Happy Friday everyone!  It's time for a Bellarific creation.  This month's Stamp of the Month is Valerie with Snowman from Mo Manning.  You can get her for 20% off all month long.

     Last week's challenge was this sketch.

     I was trying to match the colors of the papers so I made the scarf gray.  I think it would have looked better in the green.

Stay warm

     You know, normally I wouldn't be giving a thought to making a winter themed card at this time of the year, but I believe winter has decided it's going to dig in for good so I'm dedicating this card to all of my crafty friends out there who are having to deal with the snow and ice.

     It's Bellarific Friday at Stamping Bella so it's time to reveal the project I created with the sketch Em revealed last week.

     This sketch works great for the lanky Uptownies.  I've used Quinn in Her Boots.  Here's a close up of this pretty girl.
