Lawn Fawn Sweet Christmas

I LOVE THIS CARD!!   I had soooooo much fun creating it because while I was doing it, it took me back to my childhood!!!  At one point you really could believe this existed.  

My card is an 8" x 3" and I really enjoy these wider scenes so they'll be more to come of those.  😀


The cabin is just plain and I thought it needed more texture so I created and colored in the logs with my copics.  


Don't they look like a happy little gingerbread family?!!  LOL!!  


Products I used are:


Thanks so much for stopping by I hope you enjoyed my card.  Let me know if you have a memory like this.  I'm hoping I'm not the only one.  LOL!

Hugs,

Heartfelt Wishes

Good day!!  I'm back to share my latest Polkadoodles Christmas card with you.  I'm using .... sigh.... yes another image from Winnie Winter Wishes.  Are you tired of them yet?  LOL!!  I just think they're so adorable but I've said that before.  hee hee

I've used 3 different paper pads:



I used Posydoodle Rectangles but if it doesn't quite look like a rectangle, you have a good eye and you're right, I did have to manipulate the die somewhat but I'm going to share that with you in a future tutorial.  This might save you some money!!  

I colored "Heartfelt Wishes" using my Zig markers - eeeee - I'm just learning so don't be too harsh on me.  LOL!!   And I added some Snowtex under their feet and used Ranger's Enamel Accents to add snow all over my image.   That about made me throw up when I first started.  ha ha ha I've never done it before so it was a bit of an eeeek moment!!  


HOW FUN IS THIS "HAPPY FESTIVE SNOWMAN"?!!!   So cute!!!  I added some Snow-Tex to him as well just to give him some texture and then added a little stack of snowballs beside him.  Who knows, maybe that's his little kids.  LROL!!!  Ahhh I couldn't resist!!  


Well there you have it for today!!  Thanks for taking a peek and enjoy your day!

Load of Boo & Horace

Eeeeeee how cute are THEY?!!  This image is "Party Friends" and off they go with their presents to a friends birthday.  Well, I imagine it being a birthday but maybe it's an anniversary or retirement party.  In the envelope there's a handmade card and gift certificate for a dinner at the finest restaurant in their town!!  🤣😁 On the bottom right I added a stack of "Posydoodles Tags" using scraps from the "Bright & Beautiful" papers.  Again this just adds a nice feature of more texture by layering.  


I've had the "Glorious Border" (left side die) for a bit and I'm so happy that I finally got a chance to use it.  Isn't it stunning?  I can see this on many more cards to come!!  I don't know if you had an opportunity to see it or not but again I used the "Great Outdoors" stencil to help create the sky and I had created a video tutorial on that here.  


This image is now available in polymer at your favorite Polkadoodles stockists.

I hope you've enjoyed all my cards.  I had a ton of fun creating them!!  So, what do you think is in the gift box or envelope?  hee hee

Thanks for coming by today!

Scruff the Dog

Today's image is "Scruff the Dog Cupcake" and how delicious does that cupcake look?!!   This image is available at you Polkadoodles stockists in clear polymer or digi image onsite.

I've paired him up with gorgeous "Bright & Beautiful" craft papers and added lots of layers and dies.  The oval die under my image is "Elegant Nest" and it comes with 3 dies.

I even made my own candles.  So easy!!


I've added my usual bouquet of flowers and lots of stars.  For years I've been trying to sneak a tool off my sister and I FINALLY got it!! 😁😁  It's from Fiskars and it crimps your paper so that's how I managed to get the kraft stars looking like they are corrugated.  LOVE that look, just adds so much more texture than having them flat.  


Thanks so much for taking a look!  😍🤗

Friendly Cuddles

Today I'm sharing a cards currently in digi form in the store, HOWEVER, check out your Polkadoodles stockists as they have them in clear polymer and let me tell you they sure stamp off nicely!!  Love them!! 😁💕


I've colored up all my cards with my copics as I just really felt like I wanted my images to POP!!  This image is "Friendly Cuddles" and I decided to make this card round by using "Fanciful Circles" dies and "Posydoodles - Circles".

I've been dying to make a fall card for so long now and the "In Love With Autumn" papers were PUUUUURFECT for this!!  (I had to - 😜)


I added some fall butterflies (well...that's what I decided to name them - LOL) from my stash.  They're wood so I thought I'd try to color them and it worked!!  I used my distress inks and my copics but the copics were an epic fail so don't do that.  😣  Next time I'll try my distress oxides.  I just recently acquired them so I feel like I might have better luck with those.   I've also added my usual flowers and a pretty orange colored gem heart, that I  honestly never thought I'd use!  See?  If pays off to have stash!!  Hubby doesn't know what he's talking about.  🤣🤣  JK - actually he's very supportive of my crafting.  I'm lucky!


I hope you've enjoyed this card today!!  It's a break from the current christmas theme going around these days.  LOL!!  

Have a great day!

Winnie Winter Celebrations

Good day!

I have some exciting news!  This weekend we Nikky is revealing some new images for celebrating birthdays in winter and it's the Winnie Winter Celebration collection!  Another fabulous batch that I'm just in LOVE with!!!

I'm sharing this image called "Invitation", which I've colored using my copics.  I used papers from "Gnome for Christmas" and "Peeling Paint".


I also decided to add a light to the balloon!!  Sooooo cute!!!  


I know it's crazy to think we need birthday card when we're so focused on Christmas cards and I feel for anyone who has birthdays in December.  Somehow it's not fair.  🤣🤣

Have a great weekend and I hope you get some crafty time in!!  I think it's needed now more than any time with all the stress that's involved with Christmas.  Although this year I've been lucky and somehow managed to avoid any stress.  Possibly because I almost finished all my shopping in November and I had my cards finished last year!!   That never happens and may never again.  LOL!!  

Warm winter hugs!
Eulanda
