Happy Holidays Poinsettia Card

I am enjoying card making so much. I did this Holiday Greetings Poinsettia card for two challenges.

1. Clean and Simple Cards Challenge - Sketch #298

2. Allsorts Challenge Blog - Week 493 - Poppies and/or the colour red

I did not find a poppies stamp in collection readily. So I went with the color red instead. I used this Poinsettias from PTI's "Year of Flowers: Poinsettias" Stamp set. I stamped them on a text printed paper and then colored over it with Copics. I love how elegant this CAS card looks.

The sentiment is also from the same stamp set. Overall, this card turned out great and I would reuse this sketch to create a few bulk holiday cards. The scalloped border adds very good detail.

PP418 - A Color Challenge

I am not really sure how long my creative streak will last. I am hoping at least till end of this Month for sure, so that I have bunch of Christmas cards to mail to my family, friends and business partners.

Here is another Christmas card that I created using Lawn Fawn's Ornate Ornaments stamp set using The Paper Players - PP418 - A Color Challenge.

The colors were as following. But since I do not buy Stampin Up products, I used the closest colors that I had in my stash.

I used some Grey striped paper from Simple Stories paper collection. I colored the ornament in The Orange red combination that I hope resembles Poppy Parade color. A sentiment completed the card. I I popped up the cut out ornament to give it a bit more 3D effect. I love how this card turned out.

Holiday Happiness Card for MFT Sketch 411

Hello Friends,

Hope you have been busy creating handmade cards and paper crafts. I have been away from this blog for a long time and somehow had lost the creativity mojo. But with Kathy's The daily marker challenge, I have felt revitalized. I have pulled out stamps that I have not literally used since I bought them and have been coloring them and creating cards. So, quite happy and excited. I absolutely love this hobby of mine and glad to be back at it.


Today, I created a card using Taylored Expressions Wings of Joy stamp for MFT Sketch Challenge 411. Sadly, while I do own quite a few MFT stamps, not any Christmas or Holiday stamps. I will rectify this situation soon.

I took some liberties with the sketch and used the hanging socks and mitten stamp from this set as the horizontal line that appears in the sketch. This is a very CAS card, but I just love how it turned out and this is the first time I have colored over a patterned paper and it was fun.
