Hello Friend

Happy Saturday!

Hopefully, you've finished all of your Christmas cards, wrapped all of your packages, and baked all your cookies!  I did finish the cards this week, with the help of my hubby!

Here's what I made using these Great Impressions stamps:

H-247 Decorating Snowman

E-772 Falling Snowflakes

~ 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........

Three Snow Friends

Happy Friday everyone and thanks for taking the time to visit the Great Impressions Blog. Hope you have been enjoying all the new releases this week. The design team has shown such wonderful cards with all the new stamps.

My sample today is done with 2 new stamps -three snow friends J107 for my image. I colored these with prismacolor pencils and gamsol and paper pieced the pink scarf and hat. Added white polar flower soft on this layer as well. The snowflakes are glittered with a Sakura clear glitter pen.
The background snowflakes are falling snowflakes E772 and stamped in marina mist ink.
My blue panels are designer paper and the other is a snowflake embossing folder.

I added some mesh ribbon over my top red panel. This would be an easy card to mass produce so if you are looking for an idea for your Christmas cards-I just gave you one. All you need to do is order the stamps.

That's my card for today so until next time....... inky hugs!!!!!
