Hot Chocolate and Cocoa

 Good afternoon. Are you looking forward to the holiday this week? 

Well before that Crescent Creations has a new release and are doing a blog/you tube hop to celebrate where you could win yourself some goodies. I have used Sweet Christmas for my inspiration:

I resized the cups and placed them together, they are great for building a scene because although they are png images they are solid images so you can layer them without the worry of the back image showing through. The sentiment was added before printing on to stamping cardstock.

The images were colored with Copic markers I then added glaze to the tall glass to make it look more like glass.

I matted an A7 card base with green glitter card, this card is part of the new release and is great because although the glitter shines amazingly it doesn't shed!

My image was added to the glitter card stock I felt the card needed something more so I used the lights from Christmas Gnomies digital stamp set, colored and cut them a few times and strung them along the top of the card.

To take part in the hop you have to stop at each of my teamies blogs/you tube channels and leave us a comment. The winner will be announced on 30th November on the Crescent Creations channel and Instagram. It would be amazing if you could subscribe/follow all the design team's channels as you hop!

You hopped here from Tammi and the next amazing inspiration is Heather's. If you get lost along the way head back to Crescent Creations for the full list!

Thanks for stopping by.

 Good Afternoon! We had a fab Thanksgiving day yesterday, a lot quieter than normal but I'm good with that!

It's the Kawaii new release day over at Stamper's Delights and I say this every time but the images are sooo cute! Meet Xmas Elf Gift:

What I Did:

I resized him and printed onto stamping card. In my graphics program I cropped the image so I only had the gift, I resized this 3 times and printed onto stamping card. my little guy was then cut out using my scan N Cut and I cut the extra gifts out by hand. All were colored with alcohol markers and I added glaze to the pompoms on his collar and the scissors.

There is a sentiment included with the elf, I added this multiple times to my graphics program, recolored them and printed onto white cardstock.

A white A7 card base was matted with red card and my sentiment layer was added. Finally I added the little elf with foam squares. The gifts were stacked at the side of him again using foam squares.

What I Used:

Digital Images: Stamper's Delights - Kawaii Xmas Elf Gift

Stamping Card: X-Press It

Alcohol Markers: Copic

Glaze: Gelly Roll Glaze Pens
