2 Christmas Cards (Beccy's Place / Rick St. Dennis images)

Hello, everyone!  I finally had some time in my craftroom today and I made two Christmas cards. Before I share them, I would like to extend a very warm welcome to my 3 lovely new followers - Nana Rogers, Cara Malmrose, and SiskiyouSou - so happy to have you join me!

My first card features an adorable Gingerbread Man from Beccy's Place Gingerbread Set.  Have you been playing along in Beccy's Month of Holiday Cards Challenge?  I've been lucky to win over there a couple times and this set was one of my wins!  I couldn't wait to get him coloured and onto a card! He is just so cute!  I coloured him with my Prismacolor pencils, fussy-cut, and added red gems to his buttons.

I started with a stitched rectangle from Simon Says Stamp that I won there last month (thank you!).  I used my Taylored Expressions Tag Stacklets 1 to die-cut a tag from a snippet of Lawn Fawn dp left over from a previous project.  Then I doodled stitching around the edge with my white gel pen and added a piece of brown rikrak that I found at a thrift store a few years ago.  The polka-dot organza ribbon is from a prize I won at Crafty Ribbons (thank you, Ali!) and this was a left-over snippet.  The sentiment is an old wood-mount stamp from Plaid and I stamped it in brown on a La-La Land stitched banner and added a red metallic snowflake. The burlap ribbon is from Michaels and the glittery red ribbon and sequins are from my stash. All of my die-cuts were cut from leftovers/snippets.

Now for my second card, I used a precious kitty from Rick St. Dennis called Little Bits of Christmas Kitten that I won earlier this year from a challenge that Rick sponsored (thank you!).  I coloured the little sweetie with my Prismacolor pencils and fussy-cut.

The dp is from BoBunny and the embossed yellow paper is from my stash.  The sentiment is an old wood-mount stamp from Plaid and I stamped it on a white snippet and then hand-cut the fishtails on both ends.  The gorgeous red die-cut was one of my birthday dies and it's called Whirligig Circle from Memory Box.

I would like to support these fun challenges:
