Santa!

 

Hi friends!

It must be Santa!

I just adore this clear stamp set from Whimsy Stamps!

The sweet look on Santa's face with his bag of toys

is just dreamy <3

It's hard to believe 

the. holidays. are. already. here!

But I do know that the man from the North Pole 

will be here in 35 days!!!!

It's been a whirlwind here for our family and

honestly .......

I don't even know what day of the week it is most of the time!

Just keep it movin', that's my motto!

For this card, I used Santa at the door clear stamps

and colored it with my prismacolor markers.

I also added a die cut Drippy Frame Die for the falling snow.

This is a great staple die to have in your collection ~

it's perfect for oooey gooey at Halloween,

snow in the winter,

frosting for the birthdays!  

Endless FUN!

You can see this card and others here on my Instagram

and keep an eye out for an upcoming REEL! :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Got COOKIES?

Hey friends!

I'm up on the Crackerbox Stamps blog today :)

Santa will be here in 34 days!

And he's checking in to see if you

Got Cookies?!

This card was so much fun to make!

I started with the adorable Side Santa and Reindeer sm.

and I'm showcasing the cute Santa.

I just love his little peek-a-boo face!

I paired Santa with the sentiment stamp set called

Sign Post Words set of 3, using Got Cookies?

To really make Santa shine, I chose designer paper

with The Nightmare Before Christmas wording.

Santa's Day Off!!

 Hi friends!

If you ever wondered what Santa does in his free time,

I'm pretty sure it's this!

Karaoke!

 

Tee hee!

I just love this card :)

I love making cards just for the fun of it - 

being inspired just by being silly!

 

Santa is from Jingle all the way from MFT Stamps

and probably one of my favorite Santa stamps.

For this card, I used my Ranger distress oxide ink in black soot,

masked off a section to leave unmarked to resemble a spotlight

and blended and blended until it was finished.

For the sentiment, I heat embossed WOW white embossing powder

on red cardstock and created the funny song he's singing,

popped him up on foam for dimension and that's it!

Super fun, super cute!
He was actually part of a series I had planned to make ...
but like most of my best laid plans, I never have the time!
You may - or may not - see another one or four before Christmas!

Thanks for stopping by!
Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥

Shhhh ... I hear Santa!

Shhhhh ... I think I see Santa! :)  

Hiya!!  I'm back today with another Riley and Company cutie -- 

Old World Riley in his jammies + nightcap

 tip-toeing past Santa!  

Today's card is for the new bi-weekly challenge that's hosted by ... me! :)

The challenge this week is to create a card using the color scheme Burgandy, Old Olive and Cream and as a bonus, create a card/project with a theme of gratitude and thanks!

For my card for you today, I used papers from my stash:  Bravo Burgandy, Old Olive and cream to create this charming Santa Riley card, added some ribbon and buttons *smile* and ta-da!  I'm really tickled with how this came out and might have a new contender for "the" 2012 card! :)  Be sure to enter your cards on the Riley Blog HERE!

Be sure to stop by the Riley and Company DT to see what they have created as well!  If you want to add your card to the gallery, please use the keyword Riley2412.

Big hugs,

Bigger Blessings!
