All aboard for Christmas!

 Good morning! only 4 more sleeps until Christmas and I'm still enjoying all the holiday crafts. My card today is using images from Crescent Creation's Holiday release I have used the Gingerbread collection and a couple of characters from the Together for the Holidays

Isn't that train the cutest???

I added all the characters to it before printing onto stamping card. It was colored with Copic markers and fussy cut.

My card base was matted with some green glitter card and some Kraft snow design paper.

My train was added using foam tape.

I decorated the train further with Wonderland Clay bits - candy canes and hard candy were on the train

but check out my little robin he's taking his stocking with him!

Finally, Crystal Glaze was added to the candy on top of the train!

I love how the little characters can be added to the train - This is because the images are png but are white filled making it easy to build a scene.

Thank you for taking time to view my card. This may be my last holiday card for the year - notice I say maybe???? watch this space!

Homemade gingerbread

 Hello - We are already for the big man in the red suit to pay us a visit. Even my cards have started doing Christmas crafts - Crescent Creation's little gingerbread people have built their own gingerbread house.

I printed out 4 images of the Gingerbread House on plain card stock and one on stamping card which I colored. I glued 2 houses together. For the next 2 I cut the sides off and glued the centers of the houses to the 2 others this gave a chipboard effect to my house. The one on stamping card was colored with Copic markers, had the sides cut off and the center adhered to the stack. The sides were glued in place this gave dimension to my gingerbread house.

I sized my little gingerbread people so they would work with the house, colored these and fussy cut them.

I matted an A2 card base with some of the gorgeous red glitter mix cardstock from Crescent Creations and some Kraft snowy paper.

My house was adhered in place. My little gingerbread man sat with his recipe book at the side of the house. He is telling is pals how to decorate the house.

Finally, I added glaze to the candy on the house and added holly and berry from the Wonderland Claybits to the door.

Tree Farm Fun

 Good afternoon from a windy rainy Michigan! It's not looking very festive out but hey there is a week to go yet. 

Have you got your trees decorated? Sunshine Bee designs Festive reindeer are visiting the tree farm, in fact I think one has already got the lights on his tree!

I made this slimline card using the festive reindeer digital stamps and the tree from Christmas Fairy digital collection.

I colored all the images and then used my scan n cut to fussy cut them. 

My card base was ink blended with distress ink before the images were adhered in place using both wet glue and foam squares.

I added glaze pen to the tree lights and the little reindeer noses. Finally, a good scattering of glitter to make the 'snow' shine.

Fairy Elves Have Trees Too!

 Good afternoon. It is bitter cold here and we have had plenty of snow over the last few days - It looks very Christmassy. We decorated for the holidays at the weekend so the inside of the house looks just as festive!

Talking of decorating - do you know who decorates the trees in town? Well it's the fairy elves of course!!! I caught a couple doing so for my latest card:

these super cute images are Sunshine Bee Christmas Fairy digital stamps. they were all colored with Copic markers and fussy cut. My card base was matted with gold mirror card and some snowflake digital paper. My tree was adhered flat to the card. 

My fairies were joined together with some twine threaded through where their hands were. The twine was then arranged over the tree and the fairies glued in place with foam squares. Finally I added some Golden Baubles embellishment mix to the tree and some glaze to the star.
