Prancing through the Snow

I had this background already glued to the white card base but I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it.  Then, while going through some of my already colored and cut holiday images, I found these two adorable deer left over from another season.  Another quick card done!  Technically, this is a Christmas set, but I rarely pay attention to such small details; besides, I feel that you can prance all year long!



What I Used to Make my Card:
White Card Base
Lawn Fawn Snowfall Backdrop, Portrait, #LF1803 
Mama Elephant Winter Forest Cover
Light Blue Card
Clearly Besotted Let's Prance Stamp Set {already colored and cut}
Clearly Besotted Let's Prance Die Set {I was not able to find the dies}
MFT/Die-Namics Stitched Fishtail Sentiment Strips
Clear Gems

This was super easy; I already had the background done and then finding the colored and cut images was a plus!  All I had to do was stamp the sentiment, cut it out, and then adhere the deer and sentiment to the card. Can't get much easier than that in my book!  I put a few clear gems here and there to give the card some sparkle and there you have it.

I hope your holiday season was a great one and that you & yours are happy and healthy! Thanks so much for stopping by! I am going to be doing an Instagram promotion very soon so if you haven't followed me on Instagram I suggest you do that now - the giveaway is going to be AMAZING!  :) Hugs, Christi

Merry Christmas or Yappy Wolfmas?

Mama Elephant is one of my favorite stamp companies; they make the cutest critters!  My very good friend loves dogs so I thought what is better card for her than one that features dogs doing all kinds of crazy things??


What I Used to Make my Card:
White Card Base
Light Blue Card
Navy Card
Mama Elephant Yappy Woofmas Stamp Set
Mama Elephant Yappy Woofmas Die Set
Lawn Fawn Snowfall Backdrop, Portrait, #LF1803
Mama Elephant Winter Forest Cover
Merry Christmas Script Die
Watercolor Paper {I use this}
Zig Clean Color Brush Markers
Gina K Amalgam Ink Pad in Obsidian Ink
Gel Pens

As always, I stamped, colored, and die cut all the dogs that I wanted to use in my scene.  Then I cut out the background; the snowfall out of light blue card and the forest out of white card and adhered them to the card.  I placed the critters in the scene where I wanted them and I was done!

Another Christmas card posted!  I feel I am making progress :) At least now the madness is over! Now we move on to the winter cards & New Years!! I for one cannot WAIT for this year to be over; to be fair, something happens every year that makes me yearn for the upcoming year, BUT this year was a doozy!!!  Hugs! Christi
