(VIDEO) Holiday Littles with Christy

Posted by Christy Reuling | Nov 27, 2023 | Uncategorized

Hey friends, it’s Christy here with a cute Christmas card using our new Holiday Littles stamp set. Aren’t these characters just so darling? And there’s so many different ones to choose from! For this card, I stamped out half of the characters, plus most of the accessory images, colored them with Copic markers, and trimmed them out with the matching dies. Next I took the Gallery Frame #3 and die cut it out of some festive patterned paper, adding a snowflake print in the background for the sky. Then I trimmed down some white cardstock using the Hill and...

Hey friends, it’s Christy here with a sweet Halloween card featuring the Candy Crew cuties! I’m a big, giant baby when it comes to scary stuff. I want all of the vibes with none of the venom. So these adorable critters in costume are right up my alley. I wanted them to have matching outfits, as if one of their mom’s sewed them using the same fabric, while still showing off each of their personalities. Boy, do I remember those days! I colored the images with Copic markers and trimmed them out with their matching dies. For the background,...

Hey friends, it’s Christy here with a fun card using the darling new Peek-A-Boo stamp set. My favorite animal is the red squirrel, so of course, I had to use the squirrel image and have her popping out of our new Autumn Acorn die, which is sized perfectly to fit! Of course the nut needed a branch to hang from, so I pulled one in from Oh Nuts, and added in some extra squirrels for good measure from Word Buddies Woodland. I colored all of the images with Copic markers and trimmed them out with their matching dies. And...

Hey friends, it’s Christy here with a fun fall card featuring Bloomin Happy. Yes, you read that right. Even though Bloomin Happy seems like more of a Springtime set, I think it transitions beautifully into the Autumn season when combined with a few fall images and a lovely, warm color palette. I pulled in the smaller set of mushrooms and the worm from Garden Party (yes, another Spring set) and also brought in Fall Banner Buddies for the acorns and leaves that will take this right into the current season. I colored the images with Copic markers and trimmed them...

(VIDEO) Little Hugs with Christy

Hey friends, it’s Christy here with a sweet square card featuring our Little Hugs stamp set. I adore these sweet mama (or daddy) and baby critter pairs! Aren’t they just super darling? I chose four of them to feature on the front of my card, which left one for the inside. I colored the images with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies. For the background, I used the Gallery Frame #7 as a template to paint a quick and easy watercolor background on Bristol Cardstock using Distress Oxide Inks. I painted on some Salvaged Patina...
