Simply Delightful Christmas

Hello, fellow stamp lovers!  It's Julie with you today from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers. This week, Great Impressions Stamps is sponsoring the House of Cards Challenge Blog.  
Here's the inspiration board for the challenge:

Using the board, I created this:

I used Great Impressions rubber stamps F620 - Joyful Harry and D453 - It's Christmas.  I colored F620 - Joyful Harry with Copic markers.  I stamped D453 - It's Christmas onto a premade Christmas tag. 

A new challenge will start Sunday on the Great Impressions Challenge blog.  It's always Anything Goes, but there's a mood board for inspiration if you'd like to follow it.

Don't forget to check out the Great Impressions Online Store.  They have many wonderful Christmas stamps -- or stamps for ANY occasion!

Frosty Friends

Happy Friday and thanks for taking the time to visit the Great Impressions Blog. The countdown to Christmas continues and it's now only 11 days away. Hope all your plans are on target.

I have another Christmas card to show you today. I wanted to experiment with distress markers and an aqua painter water brush. This super cute snowman stamp - "frosty Friends G289 was the perfect stamp to use.

I paired my image up with patterned paper from the Basic Gray "fruitcake collection".
Added a twine bow, a banner flag with my sentiment from the stamp "It's Christmas - D453 and that completed my card.

This would also make a great card for a winter birthday or a Christmas thank you note. All the stamps are available in the online store.

That's all from me for today so until next time...........

card recipe:
Stamps: frosty friends (G289) and it's christmas (D453)
Paper: naturals white, water color paper, basic grey paper "fruitcake collection"

~ It's Christmas ~

Happy Friday everyone and thanks for taking the time to visit the Great Impressions Stamp blog. Only 18 days until Christmas. Whoo-hoo  - I can't wait!!

Are you still looking for a card idea? Well I have one for you today. It's using two of our new release stamps. This one could be easily recreated. So here are the details.

The new stamps are the Christmas penguin - D454 and the sentiment "It's Christmas" - D453. Aren't they just the cutest little guys. I colored them with Copic markers and then fussy cut them for their downhill sliding adventure. On the trim of their hats I used polar white flower soft for fur.

On my background I used the Great Impressions Stamp - "falling snowflakes"E772.  The snowflakes are stamped in bashful blue ink onto bashful blue cardstock. My tree and slope are die cuts. On the tree I used some red rhinestones for accent. On the slope, I used flower soft in polar white for some flaky snow.

To complete my card I stamped the sentiment in bashful blue ink. I think it is such a fun Christmas card. All the stamps are in the online store. If you click on the stamp name above it will take you right to the store for easy ordering.

Well that's it for me for today. Time to get to my Christmas trees. I put up 3 of them. See you next Friday........
