You're Cool by Lesley Croghan


Happy Friday! Hooray! The weekend is near! Today I am sharing a card I made with a small little mouse stamp called Mouse (Sku#F3307) that I just HAD to have! I inked him up with my Copic Markers and then fussy cut him. Isn't he adorable?! I popped him up on a snowflake and added an old sentiment from my stamp collection. This is a retired sentiment...but I thought the sentiment Brrrright (Sku#G3054) would look good with this mouse too!


Did you see the fun challenge we have on? I am entering this mouse card into the challenge...he is cool but also all bundled up!


Come play along by clicking HERE...


Yesterday I shared a card I made for the Feeling Frosty Challenge! I used the Jolly Snowman Set (Sku#4315) and I was happy to ink him up! I wanted to keep my card Clean and Simple...and I used some Lawn Fawn paper for the sentiment...I thought it worked perfectly!


Thank you for stopping by!

Merry Merry Merry by Sherry Eckblad

Hello Ai Fans!

Sherry here today sharing with you a card I created using one of my FAVORITE stamps!

I think I love polar bears just as much as I love snowmen.

Meet Polar Phil!


(Copics used: N0, R20, YG05, YG13, YG23)

To create this card I used my distress inks to create a background panel then I put some water in the palm of my hand and dropped it onto the panel. I let it sit there just a couple seconds and then dried any remaining water using a paper towel.

Next up I ripped some white cardstock to create the snowy hills and then stamped my sentiment Polar Christmas Sku#4085 to the right. I adhered the mod tree and lastly I put foam adhesive on the hills and Polar Phil and adhered them to the card.

Quick and Easy! My favorite kind of holiday card to make.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stamping.
