Christmas Trees

Christmas Trees is our theme this month at Christmas Craft Creations!

I have had this image for a long, long time ... I bought it from DigiStamp Boutique - Percy and Xmas Tree.  I wish this company was still around, they had so many adorable and unique images.

I used Copic Markers to color the image and added some glossy accents to the lights.  I cased the layout from one of my fave bloggers, Shani over at Papereese.

I hope you enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by!

Let's Get Sporty Challenge

Summer's here so it's a great time for our men to get in shape!!  Fitting that our challenge is "Let's Get Sporty" at Cards for Men!

Our sponsor for this challenge is That Craft Place. 

 I used an image from DigiStamp Boutique for my sporty card ... this sports-minded fellow is Weight Lifter Alf.  I colored him with my copic markers and did some distressing around the sentiment also from DigiStamp Boutique and can be found here. 

This is my first shot at a buckle card ... modified it a bit and am very happy that it turned out.  Will have to make some minor adjustments next time but at least I know it works!

The papers are from the Celebrate Collection by Authentique Paper.  For the star border on the inside of the card, I punched out the stars from the left over paper and glued them to the edge.  The sentiment was a freebie from The Alley Way Stamps.

Sunshine Day

With all this rain I felt a little sunshine was in order!

This  little ray of sunshine is Rosie from the DigiStamp Boutique.  I colored her up with my Copic markers and decided to make a tag instead of a card.  I distressed the manila tag with distress inks by Tim Holtz (Pumice Stone, Antique Linen and Barn Red). I added the flowers and butterfly from my stash.

I hope this added some brightness to your day!

I purchased these glass blocks years ago and every Christmas I promise myself I will make place setting cards. Well, this is my first year!

The cards looked so lonely that I had to make napkin rings to go along with them. I know I'll have to make more once I know how full of a house we'll have for Christmas dinner ... I may have to buy more holders too!
Supplies: Christmas Doodles Collection by Digi Stamp Boutique, liquid applique, Tim Holtz Distress Inks, Copic markers, variety of Christmas paper.
