Ice Skating in the Winter Park

I really wish that you could see how pretty and sparkly this card is in real life.. I used Crystal Lacquer on the Ice Skating Ring and covered the whole thing with chunky glitter!!  SO SPARKLY!!  Oh well.. You'll just have to trust me and use your imagination ;-)

Just lately I became absolutely obsessed with Tim Holtz products.  I have admired them from afar for way too long, just didn't think they were my style..  But once I started, there is no way back!!  It seems that every single project that I've made lately has at least one of Tim Holtz's products on it.. It's an obsession, I am telling you!!  an obsession!!!  On this card I made the scene for Marci with Tim Holtz Christmas Tree die, I embossed those trees with Cuttlebug embossing folder and then sponged with Distressed Ink.. LOVE it!!

This is the second card for my upcoming "Christmas Marci and Luka" card class at Jazzy Crafts in Castro Valley, CA.  We will make three Christmas cards in this class, all different designs.  To see the first card please click HERE.

Country Christmas

Please see the post below or click HERE for information about our upcoming Trunk Show in San Jose, CA!! 

I made one more card with Caroling Luka, this time he is out in the Country ;-)  You can now buy this stamp along with all newly released La-La Land Crafts Winter/Christmas stamps in our online store, HERE is the link.

This will be one of the cards for my upcoming "Christmas Marci and Luka" card class at Jazzy Crafts in Castro Valley, CA.  We will make three Christmas cards in this class, all different designs.  This class is scheduled for:

Thursday, December 2nd, 6 pm to 9 pm

can't believe I am already scheduling into December, where did this year go??

Please bring your favorite dry adhesive, foam tape, scissors to this class.  Please also bring your Copic Markers for your personal use in the class.

Please call Jazzy Crafts at 510-583-1472 to sign up for this class.

This card measures 6" x 6".

I used my "tile" technique on the Country background image behind Luka.  It is oh so pretty in real life, I really wish the picture would show it!!  Background stamp is by Stampendous called Forest Cottage Scene.  After I embossed the whole layer with UTEE twice, I colored on the top with Copics (BG72, BG75, G99, E39, R27) and White Sharpie.

Martha Stewart Fence punch.. I usually use this punch for Halloween, but it also looks like the fence on the background stamp.. country like.. The snow on the bottom of the fence was made with Snow Paste by MuddPuddles, I bought mine at Scrapbook Island.

Caroling Luka was colored with these Copic Markers:

Skin - E00, E01, E02

Hair - E13, E35, E37

Hat, Sweater and Mittens - R22, R24, R27

Pants - YG91, YG93, YG97

Jacket and Boots - E11, E13, E35, E37

Wreath - YG03, YG63, R27

Stampin' Up corner.  Copper brads in the corner and on Luka's jacket for the buttons.

Swirl stamp is from clear stamp set by Prima.  Sentiment inside of the card is from clear stamp set by Hero Arts.

Hugs!!
