Color Me Christmas

October 29, 2013 By Connie | 3 Comments

This is the first time I've showed a card made with Stampin' Up!'s Color Me Christmas! The little reindeer is my FAVORITE in this set! I used an older sketch from a Create with Connie and Mary and came up with this card design.

OK…here are the details!

I cut the 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Cherry Cobbler and folded in half for the base card.
I added a layer of Crumb Cake cut 4 x 5 1/4.
I added three 1/4 x 4" strips of Chocolate Chip along the left side.
Next I cut a 3 1/2 x 1 3/4" strip of Season of Style Designer Paper (love that Chevron in this package!) and placed towards the bottom.
For the reindeer from Color Me Christmas, I stamped him with Black Stazon on Whisper White, then water colored him with the AquaPainter and Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip and Crumb Cake markers.
I cut him with the second from smallest Oval in the Oval Framelits. I layered it on the Cherry Cobbler third from smallest size Oval…piercing around with the Oval Mat and piercing tool. It is popped up on the front with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Finally, I stamped Holly Jolly from A Banner Christmas with Cherry Cobbler on Whisper White, cut it out and centered it along the stripes on the left side!

Isn't he fun? LOVE him!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 23 years and just had my 22nd Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Lewis Center, Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Westerville, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!
