Happy Mix it up Monday everyone! On the Doodlebugs blog today sharing a little reminder that all the stamps and dies you have that are presents, birthday or other work great for Christmas too. That usually goes for the other way around while we’re at it!
I pulled out the new Mama Elephant Surprise Gifts set, which is not holiday at all, at wanted to make a Christmas card with it. So I colored my images accordingly with copic markers, used the coordinating dies to cut them out and some liquid glue to adhere my cute little scene.
Now that we’re on our way to holiday, I pulled out the Pretty Pink Posh Layered Christmas Trees stencil set and inked it up on a piece of light green cardstock. For the final layer I skipped inking and got a little messy with texture paste though. OMG do I love this stuff! It’s the perfect texture add-on if you ask me.
When that was dry, I trimmed it to fit an A2 card base and glued it on the front. I popped up the piggy and gifts and added a Mama Elephant Winter Banner Greeting. The array of options in these sentiment sets is amazing! Highly recommend!
I digress. Back to the card. For finishing touches today I added black glaze pen to the piggy’s eyes and nostrils. Then I added stardust Stickles to the heart he’s holding and white gel pen highlights to all the gifts.
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
