Cookies for Santa

Hi everyone!

Time for a new challenge at 613 Avenue Create! 

Anything Goes w: optional twist: Any Holiday

(create something featuring Any Holiday)

Half the year is already over—it's time to start thinking about making Christmas cards.

This one was quick to make. I drew a “tablecloth” on the bottom third of the card using alcohol ink markers. I lightly  brushed that area with Tranquil Tide (Stampin'Up) and then drew dotted lines with a white Posca pen.

I cut out the images, glued them on, and then used colored pencils to add some shading underneath.

I wrote the sentiment on white paper with a fineliner, cut it out, and glued it on as well.

I didn't dare write it directly on the card because I'm sure I would have messed it up otherwise...

Hope to see you play along with 613 Avenue Create

Hi everyone!

New Saturday and new challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. 

As usual in the first week of the month we have a sketch for you. (see below)

Christmas is getting closer and closer and in a few weeks we will be sending out the first cards!!! Hopefully your pile of Christmas cards is already well grown! - If you're still missing some, there's a new 52CCT challenge every Saturday to inspire you ;)

For this week's card, I slightly spongeded a beige cardstock panel with white ink. Stamped the ladder and embossed the panel.  I stamped the Santa Claus on Bristol paper and colored it with alcohol ink markers. Cut it out and put it on the ladder. To suggest a little snow I added some black and white accents to the birch trees. I finished off by placing a little heart (sticker) in Santa's hand.

Dear Santa,

Hi everyone!

Time for a new challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. 

The theme of this week is

Christmas Mice

Actually it was supposed to be a one layer card but I stamped Santa behind the wall first. That didn't match with the sentiment! So I cut out the part that was already stenciled and stamped with the rats. Cut out the mouse tail with a precision knife and placed Santa behind it. This way I was able to save the card from the trash. :))

Stamped the sentiment and addes a few ink splatters. Now I like it! 

Have Fun!

Hi everyone!

New Saturday and new challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. 

This month it's my turn to guide you through the challenges.

As usual in the first week of the month we have a sketch for you. (see below)

Since I was away from home last week and the week before, it had to be a quick card. I stamped dots/snowflakes on bristol paper and die cut a circle. The background, Santa and the sentiment are from a design paper pad. I cut out the pieces and adhered them, along with the circle. Because of the Santa, I flipped the sketch around.

Hi everyone!

Time for a new challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. 

The theme of this week is

Christmas Food

The background is from the stash - made with the negative impression of a stencil and Barn Door (Distress Ink). I just stamped a few stars with gray ink and applied Wink of Stella to them. 

The Santa (Stampin'Up) I colored with alcohol inks and cut  it out. I foam taped it to a piece of design paper on which I had previously applied a few brush strokes of white gesso to brighten the area behind Santa. Backed this with blue cardstock.

Embossed the sentiment on black cardstock, cut it to size and glued it on.

Have Fun!

Hi everyone!

Let's go for a new challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. 

The theme of this week is

Santa

A strip of design paper and a Father Christmas from Katzelkraft - that's all for this card. 

I cut the design paper slightly smaller in height than the card. Glued it on and drew a black line all around. I applied Wink of Stella to the roofs and trees. (Hard to see, but it is there)

Then I stamped the Santa Claus. Colored it with alcohol ink markers. Cut it out and attached it with foam tape. Added some Wink of Stella here as well. (hat, sleeves and robe edges)

I embossed the sentiment on black cardstock. I cut it out along the words so it wouldn't look to bold.

Have Fun!

Hello everyone!

Today is Katzelkraft day. 

A Christmas card for a change, because I have not made enough this year. Ha ha ha

I put a little Chipped Sapphire and Fossilized Amber (Distress Oxide) to a piece of acetate and sprayed it with water. Placed it on half of the card and moved the acetate away to the left edge. Stamped the ornament in the background and added a few splatters of black ink.

I stamped Santa on Bristol paper and colored him with alcohol markers. Cut him out and adhered him to the card. Added the sentiment.

Hope you like it. - See you next Tuesday with a new Katzelkraft inspiration! ;)
