Festive Frosty

 

Hi everyone

Today I have another Christmas card to show you.  I've used Molly Bloom's 'Festive Frosty with Tree' stamp,  I coloured him with my Copics in as near to the colours shown on the packaging as I could, and am thrilled with the way he's turned out.  The papers are from Papermania's 'Home for Christmas' pack, which I've matted on to bright red card stock.  The icicles border is an MS punch.  The star 'buttons' are a Sizzix die - I cut 5 for each star, glued them together to approximate the thickness of chipboard, and then punched holes in them to make them look like buttons.  I then edged them with a white pen, and am again quite pleased with the effect.  The ticket is I believe a digital freebie from Bitavin's Blog, although I think I must have downloaded it some time ago, as I can't find it on the blog now.  I do hope you like it as much as I do.

Hugs

Hi peeps

Just a quick post before I go off to Spain for another 3 weeks - it's a hard life, but someone's gotta do it, lol.

My card today features Molly Bloom, I'm seriously in love with these stamps, and was lucky enough to meet Claire - the inventor of Molly, and her daughter (Molly) at a demo day in SirStampalot, where I bought this stamp together with several others, all equally gorgeous.  Unfortunately, I haven't had much time to do papercrafting since I got back from my last holiday, but was quite pleased with this one, which features a new border die, which was a birthday present from my darling daughter.  The 'Happy Christmas' ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons.  I made the poinsettia with my Marianne design dies, and used the Doo Hickey swirl underneath to act like a stem.  Behind Molly I've used a piece of paper that I stamped and embossed using my Whimsy music stamp and Wow embossing powders - love 'em!  I'm afraid I can't remember the make of the papers but again, I picked them up on my visit to SirStampalot with my lovely friend Tash.  I cut the card candy from red card, and then covered it with glossy accents over which I sprinkled fine red glitter, I'm really pleased with the way that they turned out.

Hope you like it, and I'll hopefully be visiting you all again in about 4 or 5 weeks.
