"Christmas mini card set" featuring Lawn Fawn !

Update: This "Christmas mini card set" received the "Honorable Gnome" title!! I'm so so happy! thanks!! :)

Welcome!
I'm super happy today because i have some new goodies to show you! 

YAY! My new Lawn Fawn stamps arrived!! :) Their collection for the Winter Season was amazing!! So many beautiful stamp sets and new dies!! I waited some times because i really didn't know which set i like the most in order to buy it.. but when I saw these mice - the special set designed with Simon Says stamp - i fell in love!! 

 These are tooooo beautiful, cute and mice!! ihih!!  :)

And the little alpaca?! Super sweet! 

I stamped them this morning, I didn't have sooo much time and i wanted my cards to enter the Lawnscaping challenge, so i decided to create a cute and super whimsical "Christmas set" of mini and one-layer cards!

Here are some other pictures...  :)

 I keep evrything very simple.. that's what i like to do when i want the critter to be the focus of the card. I stamped all the images twice, first on my card and then on some masking paper. Then i fussy cut the second image and i covered the one on my card. I inked the backgroung with my distress inks trying to soften all the edges.. and then i revealed my stamp pulling off my masking piece. Only after seeing I loved the background i colored my critters.. because if anyting doesn't go well... i don't wanna waste Copic color! :)

I did the same thing for these two card too, but for the second one i first masked one alpaca, i stamped the other and then i masked them all to ink my background!

For finishing all my cards i added some red bows or twine and i drew some details, like my white snowflakes, with a white gel pen and some stitching profiles with a black pen.

Challenge: 

Hope you like my project and thank you so so soo much for stopping by today!

Dreaming about.. Christmas and winter.. sweaters!!

Hi there! 
Today.. it's the DAY! It's time, they are back! My favourites are ready for the winter season!

My first sweater of the season!! : )

You know that i'm in love with this sweater stamp by Simon Says Stamp! I always enjoy it so much, and i always try to find little critters that fit perfectly in the sweater ..this kitten is super cute, sweet and pretty! Isn't it?! 

I stamped the cat and the little present and i fussy cut them, then i glued the silver twine under the cat tail and under the little gift - it's like a Christmas balloon! :)

I created this soft pattern on my sweater, drawing some pois with a white gel pen and i die cut the sweater twice to make a mini card. Who doesn't love cute and mini card?!

"Celebrate".. a Christmas card featuring Ellen Hutson!

Update: I'm a Top 3 Winner at Christmas Card Challenges! I'm so happy! thaks a lot! :)

Happy monday :)
These days i'm focus on winter projects.. so.. here's another Christmas card !

I fell in love with this super elegant deer die by Julie and I decided to create an elegant Christmas card.

I love critters and making cute and sweet scene, I always make cards of that kind...so.. for today.. I decided to challenge myself trying something new and i used a shaped silhouette!

It's not visible in the photo, i'll try to take a picture from all the angles, but I wasn't able to catch the texture of this gold paper.. It seems a regular kraft cardstock here, but in real life it is full of very very very little glitter that make it shines a lot! It's a super smooth cardstock, you do not see the glitter themselves.. It's like a super fine mixture of glitter perfectly blended into the paper..trust me.. it's amazing!! 

Here's a detail of the background i created with some Lawn Fawn little stamps..
