More Christmas Cards!

Well, its beginning to look ALOT like Christmas. I even had the classic Christmas carols playing at my place today.

Something I like to do, is make several different cards with the same images, elements and accents. So, here is the cutie from Whiff of Joy again - but wearing her Christmas red. Now looking at this photo has confirmed how much I love coloring with Copic markers. I don't have a red Copic yet, and had to use my SU! real red. I hate the streaks you get with regular markers. So i will have to keep my eye open for a sale for some more Copics!

I made her first into an easel card. The holly berries are done with red stickles, and I used irridescent stickles for the trim on her coat.

I like this fold because you can display your card just like art! Here is the inside. The accent is from SU! Its from the felt flurries pack, and a pearl from the pretties kit.


another simpler variation using the same paper pack and embellishements.
I have always admired other stampers who decorate the insides of thier cards. So I thought I'd keep on going with that habit. The sentiment here is from Elzybells. All PP and CS is from SU!
I recently took the time to go and get a set of UV nails. They use a biogel and a UV light, and its supposed to be better than acrylic. I almost never treat myself like this, but I thought, its the holidays, and I deserve a little pampering. The typing part is taking a bit to get used to. So enjoy the inclusion my one pretty nail.. haha you may never see it again! LOL!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Oh, I LOVE the nails, and the card is BEAUTIFUL!! Those new Whiffs are great! If you would like to swap some images, I'd love to have some of those. I have LOTS of PKS and SNSS. Just let me know what you'd like in return.

Love ya,

Check out the fancy talons! LOL! My nails are super short & bare. What can I say? I'm a crafter. LOL!

Okay, I am totally impressed because not only is this adorable, but I haven't been brave enough to try an easel card yet. You rocked this one! Fab job!
