Holly Jolly

I have a yummy sweet candy cane card to share with you this Monday! 

Just look at all these canes! Now I'm craving a cup of cocoa! Ohhh...with whipped cream and cinnamon on top! Yummy yum! 

I used the candy cane stamp from the Holly Jolly set to create the background. Then I painted the canes and gave them a sprinkle of Sparkle Dust for a sugary effect. 

So that I didn't cover up all my pretty painted candy canes, I made a tag for the sentiment with a negative cut snowflake. And for a little more sparkle I included some sequins and Tinsel Trim. Ooh la la!

Holly Jolly Christmas

I'm not a big fan of winter because I don't like the cold, but I do love the beautiful of falling snow and I enjoy making snowmen with Christopher and then running inside for a cup of hot cocoa! This card, made with the Jolly Friends stamp set, reminds me of those snowman building and cocoa sipping memories. 

To add touches of color to Mr. snow dude I used the Fun Stampers Journey re-inkers and Fusion Blending Solution. To get that really light blue color to outline the snowman in I used Cool Pool....I really like the subtle look. 

I used a mix of stamps for the snowy stamps from various sets for background and a snowflake die for the cards 'window.'

There's that Tinsel Trim I can't get enough of! It's so delicate and I love the bit of shine and texture it adds. 

Lastly, I added a sprinkling of sequins for a little more glitz and snowy effect.
