Christmas 2021

 The challenge at Art Impressions this week is Happy Happy Holidays.  This is always my favorite time of year.  I LOVE to create Christmas cards and I usually make about 75 to send out.  So, I started this card back in May but, of course, I am still working on getting them done.  Why is that?  Seems the time just gets away from me (or maybe a little procrastination - cuz there wasn't a hurry back then)!  Even though it has taken me a long time to finish these, it was worth it because this is probably my favorite one of all!

 I used the Reindeer Flutter set from Art Impressions.  This is an interactive card - pull the tab down and the penguin's feet flutter up and down.  Sooooo darn cute!!  I stamped the image on copic friendly cardstock and colored with my copic markers.  I used stickles on the jingle bells around the reindeer's neck and glossy accents on the reindeer's nose to give them a little shine.  I inked the background with tumbled glass distress oxide ink and cut it out with the Art Impressions stitched rectangle die.  I also cut the Art Impressions little snowflake dies out of white glitter cardstock for accents.  I die cut the hilltop and the snowy hill from white glitter cardstock from dies I had in my stash and inked the hilltops using mowed lawn and pine needles oxide ink for the trees and tumbled glass for the snow banks.  Lastly, I used white glitter cardstock on a black cardstock base to frame the scene.  The sentiment is included in the Reindeer Flutter set.

Hope you enjoy my card!  

Happy Happy Holidays!

 

Fairy Flutter

 It's a "Birthday" challenge at Art Impressions this week.  Who doesn't love making, giving and especially receiving Birthday cards?  It's a present in and of itself!  I love to see the creativeness of others so I'm looking forward to viewing all the entries in this challenge.  Always inspiring!

  My card this week features the Fairy Flutter stamp set from Art Impressions.  Unfortunately, she is discontinued, but she is a very used stamp set at my house.  I love interactive cards and this one has the wings fly up and down when you pull the tab.  Sooooo darn cute and fun!

  The sentiment is included with this set (as well as the fairy die) and it's perfect especially for those of us who wish to be 29 again.  Such a great age!  I've been 29 for MANY years.  😉

  Hope you enjoy.  Have a great Memorial Day weekend!
