Happy Fall

This card is created using the Joseph's Coat technique.  On Glossy cardstock, I brayered Kaleidacolor Calypso ink.  The Hero Arts leaves were stamped with Versamark and embossed with clear embossing powder.  Black Versafine ink was brayered over the embossed image.  The leaves were buffed to reveal the Calypso ink, layered on blue Bazzill cardstock and placed on the base of the card.  The background is cardstock from Jillibean Soup stamped with the leaf stamp in the same Kaleidacolor Calypso ink.   The words are from Memory Box and were stamped with Versafine ink on Bazzil blue cardstock and punched with a Marvy oval punch.  Ribbon is from May Arts.

Snow Globe

This card began with a white oval circle stamped with green Versa Color ink.  The Rubber Soul penguin was stamped with black Versafine ink and colored with Copic markers.  The circle was sprayed with spary adhesive and covered with DeNami glitter to look like a snow globe.  The snow globe was mounted to a 4 1/4 square card from red gingham cardstock from A Muse.  The red cardstock was cut around the globe to make it look like the base of a snowglobe.  The ribbon was tied in a knot and adhered to the card base (source unknown).  The card opens on the right. 

Let It Snow

An acrylic Memory Box stamp set was used to create this card.  The snowman was stamped on white cardstock with black Versafine ink.  The hat, scarf, mittens, and sign were stamped on Magenta cardstock and cut and pieced on the snowman.  The snowman was layered onto a pink Bazzill cardstock.  The same Magenta striped cardstock was layered onto a red shimmery cardstock.  A silver Pearl Pen was used on the corner of the snowman cardstock.  A red Pearl Pen was used on the buttons.  An orange Copic marker colored the nose.

Shopping Girl

The A Muse shopping girl was stamped on white cardstock and colored with Copic markers.  The image was punched with a Marvy oval scallop punch.  White Liquid Applique was added to the cuffs and trim on the coat.  The base of the card is green Bazzil cardstock.  The background paper and pink oval scallop punched with a larger Marvy oval scallop punch are from Heidi Grace Designs.  A green ribbon was added to the card (souce unknown).  Silver glitter is added to the Christmas packages.

Poinsettia

This poinsettia stamp from Impression Obsession was stamped twice on watercolor paper.  It was colored with Twinkling H2O's and cut out.  The poinsettia was layered with dimensional tape and mounted to gold cardstock.  The words from Hero Arts were stamped with green Versa Color ink.

Noel

The base of this card is Jillibean Soup cardstock.  The Great Impressions branch was stamped with green Versa Color ink.  The Hero Arts ornament was stamped in black Versafine ink on the Jillibean cardstock and a piece of red carstock.  The red ornament was cut out and pieced on the base of the card.  The Hero Arts word was also stamped with black Versafine ink.  Stickles was added to the tree branch and the top of the ornament.

Embossed Snowflakes

Various snowflakes from Technique Tuesday were embossed on silver cardstock with Versamark ink and silver embossing power from Judi Kins.  The cardstock was brayered with Skyblue Brilliance ink.  The snowflakes were buffed to remove excess ink.  The words were stamped with Versa Color royal blue ink on silver cardstock and layered on blue Bazzill cardstock.  The snowflakes were layered on silver cardstock and then blue Bazzill cardstock.  A silver ribbon was added to the card. 

Embossed Ornament

This card was made with green Bazzil cardstock and red glitter cardstock.  The ornament was created with three layers of gold Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel (UTEE) on white cardstock.  After the third layer, the embossing enamel was stamped with a Holly Berry House snowflake stamp.  The words were stamped with gold ink and embossed with gold embossing powder.  The words are from Hero Arts.  Finished card is 4 1/4 X 5 1/2.
