Christmas Cards:Day 3

Hello friends!
I am LOVING getting to make 30+ Christmas Cards this month!!  I will have a whole set ready before October even gets here!! 

Today I have a card using our newest HYMN GIRL from our ever-expanding HYMN LINE of stamps, HYMN GIRLS: HEART TO CHEEK:

I colored her with Copic Markers: E00, 02, 11, 23, 35, and 37.  The reds are: R20 and E07.  The greens are:G20, 24, 28.  I used BG72 for the shadow under areas of her (its the blue you see under her dress bottom, her arm, her hair, etc)

I paired her with the Merry Christmas saying above her head (another reason to love clear stamps...they bend!) and the Scripture from the Inspired Stamps Stamp set:  CHRISTMAS VERSES (which is on sale!):

I hope you are enjoying this start of our 30 Days of Christmas Cards SHOWCASE with Inspired Stamps!  More tomorrow!
Blessings,
Antoinette

Christmas Card using scrap papers: Christmas In July with Inspired Stamps!

 Hello friends!
Since the last couple of cards have had lots of details and embellishments, I wanted to share a card that I just used scraps to make!  Here is a card that would be great to make in batches, maybe changing the colors up if you want each card to look a little different!  Super simple, yet enough layers and embellishments to dress it up a bit!

Tomorrow is our CHRISTMAS TAG BLOG HOP, and I know the DT has been working extra hard to make these something you will want to make once you see them too!!  Be sure to stop by and see us...there will be 3 Giveaways, too!!

Happy Christimas in July!!
~Blessings,
Antoinette

Nesting Inspired Stamps Christmas Cards

Hello friends!
I know with the unbearable heat and lack of rain here in the mid-west some of you are probably scratching your heads, wondering why you are seeing Christmas Cards now, in June!  But I have taught a 5 card class each month from May-October every year for many many years, so that we can have 30 unique cards ready to go before November even gets here!  So I thought I'd share May's cards:

                                                             front and inside of card

                                                      

If a card didn't have a inside that showed through to the front, it got a 1.5 inch Christmas Circle stamp:

I hope this inspires you to get inside on a hot day and get started on those Christmas Cards!

I'll be back soon with more artwork!

Blessings,

Antoinette
