Reindeer Christmas Card

This card is very similar to the one I made for my brother and sister-in-law for Christmas. I liked the papers and the layout so well that I made a couple of cards like this. This one I gave to my boyfriend's step-mom for Christmas. We had a gift card for her so I made sure it would fit inside the card first.

• The card base is from Stampin' Up.
• The snowflake patterned paper is from the DCWV Christmas and Winter 180 stack. Since the paper is so similar in color to the card base, I inked the edges with black ink.
• The gray dotted paper is from the Sparkling Sleigh Ride stack from My Mind's Eye.I bought that stack on clearance a few years ago from Hobby Lobby (I don't shop there often but loved this stack when I found it).
• The reindeer image is from Hampton Art. It was colored with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers.
• The red rhinestones were from my stash.

Go Blue Christmas tree card

I woke up this morning and realized that I forgot to wrap the gifts for our Christmas family get together today. Since one of the gifts was a gift card, I needed to make a holder or a card to put it in.

I decided on a card.

The card base is from Stampin Up. I bought it from a beautiful woman who, due to health issues, couldn't craft anymore. I don't know the name of them or the color.

The snowflake patterned paper is from the DCWV Christmas and Winter 180 stack.
Since it is such a similar color to the card base, I inked the edges of all of the papers used with black ink.

The gray dotted papers is from the Sparkling Sleigh Ride stack from My Mind's Eye. I bought this stack on clearance a couple of years ago.

The image is from Hampton Art.
I stamped and colored a bunch of images, including this one, weeks ago with my Spectrum Noir markers.
I have much to learn with these markers but I think it turned out pretty cute.
 

My brother and sister-in-law are big fans of University of Michigan so I decorated the tree with their team colors.

The rhinestones are from my stash.

I also made tags from previously stamped and colored images but I did not take pictures of those.
