Homemade With Love

Grab your mixing bowls, roll out the dough, and don’t forget the sprinkles—it’s time for some Christmas baking fun! Just look at this little gingerbread boy—isn’t he the sweetest? He’s been busy whipping up homemade holiday delights, with a pinch of Christmas cheer and a whole lot of love. I created this card using the new Trinity Stamps Tiny Gingerbread and Cookie Sheet Die Sets, along with the new Simply Sentimental: Homemade Stamp Set and coordinating dies.

And that festive background? No wrapping paper here—I cooked up those candy-cane-inspired stripes with ink! The new Candy Stripe Layers Stencil made this merry mix of holiday stripes the perfect backdrop for my little Christmas baker.

Somebody Is Moving!

 

Someone’s moving today! Why not give them a gift card for those little things that make a house a home? I hand-drew and shaded the box, then added finishing touches with the Cardboard Box Bits Stamp Set and Coordinating dies before adding it to the new Trinity Stamps Ardyth Square Shaped Card DieSet.

Even the inside is just perfect with the sentiment that is included with the Cardboard Box Bits Stamp Set.

Winter Skies

There’s no place like a cozy little igloo for Christmas—at least this adorable bear family thinks so! I created this card for the current Lawn Fawnatics Challenge – Christmas Past and Present, and it was the perfect excuse to unwrap some treasures from my stash. I paired the older Winter Skies stamp set with the new Build An Igloo for a merry mix of old favorites and new fun. And what’s Christmas Eve without a little magic? I made this a slider card so my cozy little family could catch Santa flying past the moon. Here’s hoping he makes a special stop at their snowy little home!

For my background, I started with the Nighttime Sky Stencil.  My moon is layered with Lost Shadow Distress Oxide Ink.  The rest of my sky is Tumbled Glass, Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire and a little Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink. 

Once I inked my sky, I used the Slide on Over Die Set to make my slider opening and then heat embossed some snowflakes using the snowflakes from the Winter Skies Stamp Set and white embossing powder. 

I place my cozy little family on a snowy surface cut from white cardstock using the Stitched Hillside Border Die.  I dusted up the edges of the snow and igloo with a little Broken China Distressed Oxide Ink to give it a little dimension.  The igloo’s inside glo was created by blending Squeezed Lemonade and Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide Ink. 

I colored my little friends with Copic Markers.  My bears were a combination of W00, W1, and W3.  The scarves were blended with reds and greens.

I don’t know about you, but I sure would enjoy spending Christmas Eve with these little guys.
