Sending Christmas Cheer

Good Morning! Almost half way through October - How did that happen. I'm skipping the next few days as I turn 50 and that is just not happening!!!

It's Tuesday so of course that only means one thing - Digi Choosday! yes a new challenge is about to start!

This time the design team are looking forward to Christmas and sending a little cheer with an envelope on their makes. I decided to do a card on a card using the super Cute Holly Hedgehog mail:

What I Did:

I arranged Holly and a sentiment and printed on stamping card. I colored the image with Alcohol markers and added a bit of sparkle with glitter to Holly's hat. I then printed a piece of digital design paper, using a template I made an envelope with this.

A 8x8in card base was matted with green and red cardstock and my envelope was added to the center. I then partially slid my image into this at an angle so Holly and the sentiment are still on view.

Finally I added some glittery enamel dots.

What I Used:

Digital Image: Polkadoodles - Holly Hedgehog Mail

Sentiment: Polkadoodles - Winnie White Christmas Sentiments

Digital Paper: Polkadoodles - Winnie White Christmas Papers 3

Paper for Envelope: Crafter's Companion

White Card Base: Craft UK

Green and Red Cardstock: Core'Dinations Premium

Glitter Enamel Dots: Gina Marie

Glitter: Chloe

Waddy picking out his Christmas Tree

 Good Morning! The sun is still shining here and temps are still up so who knows when fall will start!

I'm back today with another inspirations design for the Polkadoodles Too Cute Release. Waddy has been to pick his Christmas tree:

What I Did:

I started by resizing my image and sentiment and then printing them on stamping card. I colored the image with Copic markers and added glitter to Waddy's hat 

I then die cut him using an oval nesting die. I also cut the frame and the one next size up from green cardstock.

To make my design paper I opened a design paper from Pretty Sweet  in my graphics program, I then layered images from Baked With Love Foliage in a random design. This was printed and matted along with green card stock onto a 5x7 in card base.

I then added my image to the center of my card and layered the green frames around it. 

My sentiment was matted with green cardstock and adhered to my card with foam tape. Finally I added some glitter enamel dots to balance the design.

Digital Image: Polkadoodles - Too Cute Waddy with Christmas Tree

Digital Paper: Polkadoodles - Pretty Sweet Mini CD

Images on paper: Polkadoodles - Baked with Love Foliage
