Winter Chickadee ...

Good morning! Ruza here to share a Clean and Simple Christmas card featuring several stamps from Great Impressions Stamps.

Today's card focus is the adorable Winter Chickadee (C427) which I paired up with the Seasons Greetings Sentiment (C427). I stamped the adorable bird and sentiment on my card, colored the bird with my Copic Markers, and applied distress ink around the image to represent the sky. I then used a ruler with a black and green markers to create the frame.

Now that I look at my card, I see that I should have centered the image better. Guess that's what I get for rushing. 😁

Our December Great Impressions Challenge is live. I hope you stop by for all of the details, join in the FUN, and if you use Great Impressions Stamps we'd love for you to link them up in our Customer Gallery!

Until next week ... Enjoy!

Christmas Cheer Revisited

Is this really Black Friday?  Did I really eat all that turkey yesterday?  How can we be a month from Christmas?  Oh my, oh my, oh my! This is Julie with you today from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers.  and I'm revisiting a favorite project from the past.  Since it is just one month to the day until Christmas, I'm featuring one of my favorite Christmas cards today, with one of my favorite Great Impressions Stamps on it.  I love this chickadee (G28)! 

I colored the rubber stamp G28 - Winter Chickadee with Copic markers.  It's a highly shaded stamp that doesn't take much coloring to look good (easy peasy coloring, quick results, perfect for mass producing Christmas cards).  In this case, I thought it would look striking on an easel card, so I created it using my Silhouette Cameo.  I stamped the A151 - Cheer stamp on the base of the easel card.

Have you entered the Great Impressions Stamps challenge yet?  There's still a few more days to get your anything goes entry in.  I'd love to see what you make and we've got wonderful prizes! 

Check out the Great Impressions Store for tons of wonderful stamps.  You'll find these 2, and many, many more!

Christmas Cheer

It's Julie here today, spreading Christmas cheer on a Saturday in May. I'm featuring a Christmas card today. I'm trying to get at least one, hopefully 2 cards made each month. 

I love this chickadee stamp! It's Great Impressions stamp G28 - Winter Chickadee, colored with Copic markers.  The sentiment, stamped in red on the base of the easel card, is A151 - Cheer.

The card was cut out on my Silhouette Cameo. The snowflakes are Cheery Lynn dies.  The papers have been in my stash forever.

Winter Chickadee Tag

Good Tuesday Morning, Donna Here!

I made a sweet little Tag.

 

Using the most precious Great Impressions Stamp, G28 Winter Chickadee I created an Ornament shaped tag.  Using the Sizzix Ornament # 4 die I created my base, then I stamped that plump little Chickadee on top, coloring with Copic Markers.  

 

Grabbed some wide Christmas Ribbon and tied on a pretty metal Joy Star shaped charm, topped off with Gold Twine and Adhesive Rhinestone.

 

I can picture my Nana Amy mixing up a batch of suet and filling those little cages to feed the Chickadees all winter long.  She would have LOVED this sweet little birdie!
