Santa's Helper?

I am on a last minute Christmas card making kick.  There are a few people on my card giving list who will look like this after Christmas dinner, especially after dessert! "Santa's Helper" is the perfect stamp for one of these people don't you think? 

It looks to me like someone found Santa's cookie and milk stash and has over indulged! 




After colouring up this fun stamp with alcohol markers, I cut it out using a pleated circle die and added some Stickles to his hat and coat for a bit of sparkle. The sentiment is one long sentiment that I masked off and "layer" stamped to fit my card design.  Some matching glittery ribbon and gumdrops finish off my card.

Stamp: Santa's Helper - High Hopes Rubber Stamps
Sentiment: Not Even A Moose - High Hopes Rubber Stamps

Good morning HHS friends,
I am here today with a vintage Christmas card.
I wanted to created a soft and Vintage Christmas scene, with just a little sparkle!

So today I am using  "Let Us Adore Him"

I started with stamping out this beautiful image on Copic friendly paper. Them used stitched squared die. For the background I used distress ink softly in the inside, hard in the edges. For sparkle I added my Winkle Stella pen. It's kind of hard to see...lol!

The pattern paper and sentiment are from my stack.
To finish I used espresso cardstock, some ribbon, white pen and gold rhinestones. 

Here is a close up!
I LOVE how my card turned out. I hope this Vintage Christmas card have inspires you today.

Pillow Box & A Tag With HighHopesStamps!

Good morning,
I am excited to shared my project today.

Today I'm sharing a set of 3 Christmas pillow boxes I had created with an old but super adorable snowman stamp. Perfect to use as decoration on your table this Holidays or just to give with some goodies inside! 

 So I pulled out one of my favorite snowman stamps this week

The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored with Copic markers. Once the images were coloured I fussy cut it leaving a small white border. Next I used my Sizzix Thinlist 660660to die cut the pillow boxes. I used foam tape to pop my snowmen. The ribbon and baker twine is from my stash.  

I finish my boxes with a handmade heart garland and the word JOY

Best Fishes

Seems like Santa has been getting some R and R and doing some ice fishing before his big day! 

I have a few people on my card giving list that love fishing! They sleep and dream in fishing and yes, ice fishing included. 
"Fishing Santa" paired with the "Christmas Fishies" sentiment is perfect combo for the person who loves fishing on your card giving list! This card is made for a gentleman so my challenge was to keep it masculine and Christmasy all at the same time. 



After colouring the stamp with alcohol markers and a touch of Prisma pencil, I hand fussy cut it leaving a thin white edge. I added some stickles - not too sparkly or colourful to his hat and set him aside to dry. I coloured his buttons and the reel on the fishing rod with a silver gel pen - gotta get a bit of sparkle in there for Christmas right?! 
Paper from Echo Park's Celebrate Winter collection was perfect for my masculine theme. The sentiment comes as one large sentiment so I masked it and stamped it separately just for fun. 
A touch of a fish net die cut and some matching sparkly gumdrops finish off my card. 

Card Recipe 
Stamp: Fishing Santa - High Hopes Rubber Stamps
Sentiment: Christmas Fishies - High Hopes Rubber Stamps
Patterned Paper: Celebrate Winter - Echo Park 

Tuxedo Black Memento ink, Misti, silver gel pen, fish tail banner die - YNS, fish net die - Tutti Designs, Twinkle Stickles, sparkly gumdrops - YNS


Spectrum Markers: FS1 FS4 TN2 TN4 CR7 CR11 DR6 BG5 BG7 BG10 TN1 MB1 MB2 TB8 BT9 TB9 YG1 YG2 YG3
