To create this card set, I used:
- 2 sheets of 6x6 Christmas paper from Crate Paper
- 1 Walzingmouse die
- 1 type of twine
- and the fabulous stamp set from Mama Elephant called Alpine Carolers
Nothing says happy like Christmas lights! I colored these with copics and put them on 2 pieces of the the patterned paper. Pretty easy and timeless layout.
For this card, I used the die cuts on patterned paper. I colored this mini cutie with copics and stamped part of the sentiment for a banner.
Here is a close up of the little guy!
I kept the same color scheme on each card. For this one, I *cough**Jocelyn Olson*cough**colored the purse. She reminds me of a girl who loves a little retail therapy!
