RemARKable Best of Christmas Blog Tour

Hello, and welcome to the RemARKable Stampers Best of Christmas Blog Tour!  I had fun creating these cards for you -- one has a vintage look and one is quick and simple.  The first card was inspired by the old fashioned image of Santa Claus.  I think this image is so traditional, and I wanted to make a card that expressed that feeling:


I stamped Santa with Early Espresso ink onto Very Vanilla card stock.  I used my Blender Pen to add color (Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive for his hat) then used a Blush Blossom marker for his face and a Blushing Bride marker for his rosy cheeks!  I cut him out with one of our Festive Flurry Framelits, then sponged the edges with Crumb Cake ink.  I used Stampin' Dimensionals to layer onto two larger snowflakes, then layered the entire element onto a Very Vanilla background.  (Can you tell I love layering?? LOL)  Adding a few of our pearls finishes it off.     


A little glue from my 2-Way Glue Pen and some Dazzling Diamonds made his hat sparkle!  And, what is Christmas without a little sparkle? 

My second card is quick and easy.  I simply stamped the nativity stamp in Island Indigo ink onto Whisper White card stock.  A few sparkly stars, thanks to Dazzling Diamonds, make it shimmer.  The image really pops off of the coordinating Winter Frost Designer Series Paper. 
 

Here are all of the images you get with this set:

RemARKable Stampers Blog Tour: Festive Flurry

Hello, and welcome to the RemARKable Stampers Blog Tour!  I know you are going to love the inspiration you get from this group of amazing stampers.  So, sit back, relax, and make your way around the tour.

I chose Festive Flurry for my card this month.  I have been in a "flurry" this last week getting ready for two big events, so I thought this would be appropriate -- LOL! 



This card was quick and easy!  I used Smokey Slate, Island Indigo, and Whisper White for my color scheme.  And, our Silver Glimmer Paper gives it just the right amount of sparkle!



And, here is the inside of the card:



I used the Festive Flurry Bundle to create this project.  You can save 15% by purchasing the stamp set and the coordinating framelits in the bundle -- woohoo!  I also used the Magical Season clear mount stamp ($134777, $5.95) available as part of our Holiday Collection single stamps.  The inside greeting is from More Merry Messages (#126400 Wood Mount  $32.95 or #126402 Clear Mount $24.95).  

I hope you like this project!  Now, it is time to see what Melissa Bollinger has created this month.  I am sure it is beautiful -- she is such a talented stamper.  Just click on her link:  http://www.stampinup.net/blog/2089191

I have not forgotten you....

I know it has been a long time since I have posted -- I have been busy getting ready for a huge craft fair!  The craft fair was today, so things should be getting back to "normal" (or, as normal as I can possibly be -- LOL!) soon. 

But, I wanted to let you know that the RemARKable Stampers blog tour is tomorrow, November 10th, so stop back to see the beautiful creations from my fellow teammates!

Have a great evening!
