Where oh where did I go?

Hi all!  So sorry I have been absent.  Work has been really busy, and I have been hard at work making cards.  Here are some cards I just made.  I recently purchased my very first Copic markers and aside from being intimidated by these little markers, they are really fun.  I stamped this Santa image below and colored it in using R29-Lipstick Red, I colored in Santa's suit.  I tried blending multiple colors, but that didn't work out so well, so I just stuck with the solids for now.  Didn't he turn out cute!
 
I ran my mat through the Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots folder.  I was going for the whole "Santa Suit" effect and thought the dots gave the paper a fabric feel, and then of course his black belt which was just a 1" strip of black cardstock.  For a little bling, I added Stardust stickles to his pom pom and used a gold pen to color in the package he is holding.  Just love it!!

My next card I just LOVE!  I stamped the tree with the Trimming Tree Trio stamp set from Papertrey Ink with Versamark and embossed it with Pearlescent embossing powder.  Then I took my blending sponge and added a cloudy effect of Jenni Bowlin's Stick Candy ink around the tree.  Since the tree is embossed, it resists the ink.  Doesn't this just look so elegant....

The sentiment is from the Trimming Tree Trio as well.

And for my last card, my little snowmen.  I just love how cute these turned out and they were so simple to make.  I actually took the snowman image from my clip art and then matted it in the center of my card.  I rand the white mat through my cuttlebug with the snowflake folder and then put that onto a red cardbase.  This is certainly a good one to keep in the pile for making multiples. 



Hope you all have a GREAT DAY!
