A Little Blue Truck and a Big Red Greeting

 Hello friends! I did a little mix of products for my clean and simple card today. Starting with little truck from Catherine Pooler Design's Sleigh Ride, an exclusive Club Sursee stamp set. I stamped the truck with Hot Tub and a little Skylight ink for shadowing. The street light is from Catherine's Here We Come a Caroling stamp set and it fits perfectly with the truck. Along the bottom I used my favorite Buffalo Plaid Background stamped in Midnight ink and a striped border from the Man With The Bag stamp set. This fabulous bold sentiment is from Scrapbook.com's Big and Bold Christmas stamp set, stamped in Catherine Pooler's Samba ink. That is my all time favorite shade of red!!

Stamps: Sleigh Ride, Buffalo Plaid Background, Man With The Bag, Here We Come a Caroling (Catherine Pooler Designs), Big and Bold Christmas (Scrapbook.com).
Dies: Sleigh Ride Coordinating dies, Here We come A Caroling Coordinating dies (Catherine Pooler Designs).
Ink: Midnight, Samba, Hot Tub, Skylight, Spruce, Twilight, Limoncello (Catherine Pooler Designs).

Accessories: gray Copic marker, dimensional tape.

Keeping it clean and simple makes this an easy card to replicate for quick Christmas cards. Stamping simple details like the Buffalo Plaid and the striped border adds interest without being too complicated.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

A simple card with Minor Stripes and Valentine Red from The Ton!

Hi friends! Here's a little card I whipped up using the Minor Stripe Cling background stamp from The Ton.

I love red and white stripes at Christmas time. It reminds me of candy canes. It also can give a card a great traditional vibe. Here I masked off an oval in the center with the Modern Labels stamp and die set. This created a great focal area for one of The Ton's new Pine Tree Cover diecuts. I topped it off with a simple sentiment from the Holiday Ornaments stamp set.  

Stamps: Minor Stripes Cling background, Modern Labels, Holiday Ornaments (The Ton).
Dies: Pine Tree Cover, Modern Labels (The Ton).
Ink: Valentine Red, Everglade Moss, Hampton White (The Ton).
Paper: white cardstock 80lb and 110 lb (Neenah), black cardstock.
Accessories: Sparkle Premium Glitter in Seahorse and A Girl's Best Friend, Opaque Bright White embossing powder (WOW!) Titanium white acrylic paint (Arteza), Pixie adhesive spray, dimensional tape.

I ink blended this tree from the Pine Tree Cover die with The Ton's Everglade Moss ink. I sprayed Pixie adhesive spray over the top and then covered the whole tree with Wow!'s Sparkle Premium Glitter. Such beautiful sparkle!!

Thank you for stopping by.  Have a great day!

A fresh scenic card using new cover dies from The Ton.

 Hey friends! Today I'm sharing a clean and simple scenic card that is perfect for mass producing. I love working with with The Ton's new Pine Tree Cover die and Deer Cover die. They cut out so many of these trees and deer at once which saves a ton of time.

First, I cut out a bunch of trees and sprayed them with Pixie adhesive spray, then covered them in Sparkle Glitter from WOW!  I did a little ink blending on white cardstock to create a sky backdrop.  After diecutting the blended card panel with The Ton's Double Stitched Rectangle die, I added some red stripes to the card base with the Minor Stripes Cling background stamp.    

I topped this card off with a couple deer and my favorite bow from The Ton's Christmas Wreath Builder stamp and die set.

Stamps: Christmas Wreath Builder, Holiday Love, Minor Stripes Cling (The Ton).
Dies: Pine Tree Cover, Deer Cover, Double Stitched Rectangle, Christmas Wreath Builder(The Ton).

A sweet card using the Sweet Sledder stamp by Penny Black.

 Hi friends! Today I'm sharing a sweet little card I made using this adorable Sweet Sledder stamp by Penny Black.

.I fell in love with this stamp and couldn't wait to color in the image with my Copic markers. I cut around the upper half of the image and created a snow drift all in one piece to pop up on the lower half of the card. I used the big pine tree from Penny Black's Woodland Beauty stamp set. That's my go-to pine tree for a lot of my scenic cards. I topped it off with the Believe die, cut from a brushed gold cardstock.

Stamps: Sweet Sledder, Woodland Beauty (Penny Black),
Dies: Believe (Penny Black).
Ink: It's A Boy, Spruce, Midnight (Catherine Pooler Designs), clear emboss (Versamark), Copic Markers.
Paper: white cardstock (neenah), brushed gold cardstock (My Favorite Things).
Accessories: white superfine embossing powder (WOW!), dimensional tape.

I added some little spots of snow all over this image using superfine white embossing powder. You can see I wasn't precise at all because I wanted it too look like a flurry of snow falling. I added it over the images also. Then I ink blended a blue sky over the top using my favorite blue, It's a Boy by Catherine Pooler Designs. It's the perfect hue for a sky! You can see here where I cut around the image and created a snowdrift all in one long piece for the front of the card. The tree is stamped on the card base so that it looks like it stands just over the snow drift.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great day!

The little hats and elf shoes are so whimsical and fun. I whipped up 6 of these little cards, all in different colors and it was quick and easy.
