Christmas Girl

Happy Thursday everyone.  Did you all make it through the Holidays ok?  I know my Christmas was Wonderful!!  I love having my children all together at home.  Having the grandchildren there too is a fabulous bonus!!   Love them to pieces.   

Well today is my day to post for Jen's Digi stamps. I just love her stamps, so so cute :)  Today, even though it is not Christmas and it has passed us by, I still wanted to do a Holiday image, so I chose "Christmas Girl".  You can purchase her here.  I hate to see the Holidays end.

I used pink Core'dinations card stock for the base, for this Center Step card.  I started with a 5 and 1/2 by 11 card base.   Measured one inch in on both sides of the card and then cut from the one inch mark to the 6 and 1/2 inch mark..... Scored at 5 and 1/2 inches in between the cut lines and then scored at 1" and 2" and then 6 and 1/2".  Mountain valley fold and there is your center step card.

You can see the tutorial at SplitCoast Stampers here.

I used the red Stickles for her ear rings.

Design team post

Good morning all you crafty people,today is Tuesday, December 4th and i can hardly believe it.  Another year gone by so fast.  Christmas is right around the corner, and it sure feel like it outside.
Well for today, I am doing my first post as a design team member of Jen's Digi Stamps. I am so excited, she has some of the cutest images to color.  Love the faces.  For todays' project, I did a Christmas card using, Cottan and Candy as Santa Digi.

In the spirit of the Holidays, Cottan and Candy as Santa is FREE for my followers to download and try coloring for yourself, after you are done you are going to want to buy another on I am sure, they are all  so cute , look great on cards and the price is amazing:) Merry Christmas from Jen's Digi Stamps.

I colored with Letreaset Pro markers and 2 of the markers were from Close To My Heart.

I cut a banner from the Artiste cartridge, and stamped Merry and Bright in Black Close To my heart Ink.  I used light blue chalk and a cotton ball to lightly color around the image to soften it up and put a few red rhinestones from Bo Bunny,to have a little bling:)
 For a final touch I used a white gel pen to outline the card and a black gel pen to outline the banner.

I hope you enjoyed today's card, and hope you stop in to Jen's Digi Stamp shop and take a look around:) I am sure there is an adorable image waiting just for you:)

Happy Crafting.......Cathy
