Christmas donkey

Hello, dear friends!
I am thankful that I am doing better, still have some coughing but much better!!!

The image is by Elisabeth Bell, and it is a freebie for her newsletter readers, isn't it cute? My daughter colored it with kuretake and copic markers. I placed it on a red mat. For the background I used a green plaid patterned paper. To embellish it used a red Christmas ribbon, red twine and three bells.
Hope you like it!

Ho-Ho-Ho

Hello!
How are you? I am preparing some cards for Christmas, and I would like to show you this one:

Although I don't like too much using Santa in my cards I found this one very cute, it is a Melonheadz freebie, I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. I placed it on a black cardstock mat. For the background I used red cardstock and a curly stars embossing folder. To embellish it I used a black w/silver ribbon and made a knot, I also glued glitter on Santa's clothes.

Christmas door

Hello!
Today I have a new card to show you:

I used a stamp by Elisabeth Bell (Whimsy stamps) and inked it with Tuxedo black Memento ink. Colored it with Kuretake markers, I rounded the corners with a punch and glued to the background with foamy tape. For the background I used white cardstock and a snowflakes embossing folder (Sizzix). To embellish it I used a Christmas ribbon.

Kraft Stars

Hello!
Today I would like to share with you a very simple card I made, I found some inspiration on Pinterest, I liked a few cards made with Kraft paper/cardstock on white background...  (if you click in the words Pinterest, kraft paper, cardstock on and white background, you'll see my inspiration. This is my take:

I love stars in Christmas, stars are so important for Christmas!!!! I used Kraft paper and a star punch. I used the positive and the negative shapes. I used some rustic thread (don't know the name in English) to hang the stars and used some foamy tape to anchor them to the background. I finally added a sentiment (free on-line vector)... I had to cover a mistake I made when I tried to stamp the sentiment and didn't look good at all!
I hope to do better with Kraft on white in future, but for being first time it's not that bad either!

Jingle Bells and Stars

Hello, dear friends!
I am preparing my Christmas cards, and today I have a new one to show you.

The image is by Bugaboo and colored with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. I used a punch to round the corners in the image and the green mat. I used some patterned paper from my stash, the same golden stars on green and red backgrounds. To embellish the card I used a wide red Christmas ribbon with stars, a very thin red ribbon. I also used three bells and tide them with a bow and glue three golden stars.

I hope you like my card!

Blue and silver

Hello, my friends!
I would like to share with you a couple of images of a Christmas card I just made...

I think the image is from A Day for Daisies, an old freebie. I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. I cut it with a Spellbinders label die and used a bigger one for the blue cardstock mat. I also used a silver ribbon and three silver snowflakes. I think it can use some glitter too... maybe I will add some! The back papers are from my stash, the silver one I've got in an exchange and the blue one is Alt-Abdi (from Kz.)

Hope you like it!

Classic Christmas colors

Hello everybody!
I want to show you a new card I made for Christmas using traditional green and red colors.

I don't remember where I've got the image (I think it's a Cuddly Buddly freebie from long ago), I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. I cut it with a Sizzix oval die and with a bigger one I cut the green mat. The patterned paper is from a Russian pack (don't remember the brand). To embellish the card I used a red Christmas ribbon and some glitter for the image.

Gingermen card

Hello friends!
I made my first Christmas card and here it is! It is a very CAS one :)

The ginger-man image is a freebie at Beccy's, I printed and colored it a couple of years ago, when I still didn't have markers.... I cut out each of them and used some foamy tape to place it on the red gingham mat. To embellish the card I used a green Christmas ribbon and added some glitter.

Hope you like it!
