Elves

Elizabeth Craft Designs has some new stamps out for the holidays.  One set is called Elves - SO SO cute!  I used it to make today's card.

Cuteness overload!  I colored this sweet elf with Copic Markers:

Hair:  E21, E23
Skin:  E000, E00
Clothes:  R81, R83, R85, BG53, BG57, Y23, Y26, C3, C5
Lights:  R27, G46, Y18

I kept the rest of the card simple using a sentiment from Classic Christmas stamps on a Fitted Circle Die Cut.  I die cut the image out with a Fitted Oval, and to frame it, I used a Dotted Scallop Oval (that I cut in half and used to create a small border.  The paper is from the Unconventional Christmas 12 x 12 paper pack.  I finished the card off with some lace, ribbon, twine and Nuvo drops.

Pumpkin Decor

A girlfriend and I recently had a craft day where we decided to decorate pumpkins.  There were a ton on Pinterest with ribbons and more with flowers, and we decided to try some with ribbons and flowers.  Here's what I did:

Fun!  The flowers are all made from dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs.  I used the Shasta Daisy, the Forget-Me-Not, the Nasturtium and the Berry Branch along with a couple ribbons from my stash.  I think it makes a great centerpiece for my table :)

Poinsettia

Elizabeth Craft Designs has some NEW and AMAZING stamps designed by Krista.  Like the one I used to make this:

LoVe!  The background is created by stamping some of the smaller images from the Poinsettia Clear Stamps and coloring them in.  I then die cut it with the Dashing Rectangles dies.  The large flower is also part of that stamp set and is die cut with the coordinating die set.  The Copics I used were:  R35, R37, R39, YG61, YG63, YG13, YG17, E42, Y26 and B000.  The sentiment is from the Classic Christmas Sentiments set and is die cut with a Stitched Fishtail Banner die.
