Snowman Christmas Card

Here is one of my favorite cards from the 2014 Christmas card workshop. To make things go faster, I pre-stamped and heat-embossed this card. I recommend coloring the image (with alcohol markers) before assembly. That way, you have no ink bleeding.

Recipe:
Paper: Snowhaven, White Daisy CS (CTMH)
Stamp: Flakey Friends, Holiday Cheer (CTMH)
Ink: Black (VersaMark)
Tools: Clear Detail Embossing Powder, Prisma Glitter (retired), Glue Pen, Craft Heater, Craft Tray (retired), Paper-Piercer, Turquoise Blue/Carmine/Marigold/Bronze ShinHan Alcohol Markers (CTMH), Circle Die (MFT)
Other: Clear Sparkles (CTMH)

Isn't he cute? Alcohol markers provide a rich and vivid color. I have them on my list to purchase more today, in fact. Happy Saturday to you!

I am loving this next card. It was cased on Sunday from a blog I've recently started following. This lady does top-notch work...she epitomizes the fresh, clean approach in her cardmaking.

You can check out Debby's card here. I am entering this into the Moxie Fab World: World Card Making Day Challenge.

Remarkable Wreath CAS Card

I cased another card found on Pinterest. This one, in particular, deserves dual credit.

First off, please click here for the original CASE card. After creating my card, I remembered that I'd seen something like this before. So I need to give credit to the lovely Ms. Vicki Wizniuk. You can see her card by clicking this link.

Recipe:
Paper: Kraft CS, White Daisy CS, Chocolate CS (CTMH); Stamps: Remarkable Wreath, Holiday Cheer (CTMH); Inks: Olive, Tulip, Chocolate (CTMH); Tools: Paper-Piercer (CTMH); Other: Tulip Mini-Medley Accents (CTMH)

Believe it or not, I actually had the Wreath stamp set in my sell pile. If you attend my Christmas card workshop, this will be one of the cards we create. :)

Wonderland CAS Card

If you haven't heard me say this already, I love Pinterest. There is always something fun to be found. Beware, if you follow my boards, I do update them regularly, often deleting something once I've used the idea, or the kit, up.

Anyways, today's card was inspired by a lovely creation I found on Pinterest earlier this year. Please click here to see the card I cased.

Recipe:

Paper: Wonderland, White Daisy CS, Twilight CS (CTMH); Stamp: Holiday Cheer, Bundled Buddies (CTMH); Inks: Olive, Twilight, Petal (CTMH); Tools: Paper-Piercer, Micro-Tip Scissors (CTMH); Other: White Daisy Embroidery Floss, Bitty Sparkles (CTMH); Foam Tape, Blue Ribbon (Offray)

I'm hoping to recreate this lovely once my Very Merry Christmas stamp and Pacifica cardstock arrive mid-week. In the meantime, this is what I had on hand.
