Holiday Door Step

 Good afternoon! do you realize we are almost half way through October - time please slow down!

My post today is to celebrate the new release from Crescent Creations and the holidays are coming! To celebrate the new release we are having a blog hop  I have used 2 digital stamp sets from their new digital collection, Front Door and Christmas Gnomie. The Front Door collection is a great set that comes with all the components of a stoop and decorations to dress it up. The Christmas Gnomie works well with this set too, and I have decorated both inside and outside of the card with them. Like all of their digital collections the images are PNGs which opaque inside and clear on the outside making them great for scene building. 

For this card I resized each image so that they fit well together. I printed them off as individual images and colored with my Copic markers.

For my house wall I used a brick embossing folder on brick red cardstock. I then inked this with distress ink to make the brick work pop. This was then added to an A7 card base.

I added my steps first, centering then on the lower edge of my card and lining up with the bottom of the brickwork. My door was adhered above this and wreath and ribbon placed on this. My Christmas trees were printed with one flipped so the décor on them was more symmetrical. These were added either side of the stoop. I had originally colored the ornaments on the wreath and trees with Glaze pens but this didn't give the dimension I was looking for so I added gold half pearls in various sizes. I colored the ribbon in gold and added this to the wreath. My first Gnomie was colored and positioned on the stoop.

My sentiment, which is also included was foiled and fussy cut using my cameo and foil quill. I fixed this in place with foam tape.

Finally I added some crystal glaze to the windows above the door to make it shine like glass.

I then decided to decorate the inside of the card with some of the other images. Gnomie 2 is decorating the tree in the house behind the door I colored all the images in, I die cut an oval topped piece of red card from the Fall Theme Cardstock mix and adhered this inside. this left white space for writing in the card. My images were then arranged with Gnomie climbing a ladder to hang ornaments.

 Good evening, I hope everyone is well and has had a great Christmas!

My post today is to share a gift I made for a friend - in all honesty I didn't want to part with it when it was finished - it look many hours to make and I'm sure it will be loved in it's new home. 

This Christmas Scene Alarm Clock is a cutting file I bought many years ago from Tina Fitch and finally decided to make it. It is cut in layers and if you look hard you can see trees, deer, squirrel and pinecones all housed in side while the clock face it set on the outside.

I cut it all in white cardstock and added sparkle with a glitter pen to the sentiment, trees and pinecones. This is difficult to see in the photo.

To house the clock and protect it a box cutting file is also included:

This again was made with white cardstock but with acetate windows.
