Caffeinated Christmas Wishes at Penny's

Today I have used the Christmas Frappe digital stamp from Little Blue Button Stamps, one of our generous sponsors for this challenge, to make a pair of Christmas cards.

I opened the image in Silhouette Studio and sized the image for both cards, printed on X-Press It blending card, heat set then coloured with Copic markers.

The Holiday Cheer card is 6 1/8" square.  I die cut the image panel (4 1/4" diameter), layered it with an offset contrasting die cut circle and doily, then finished it off with a die cut sentiment and sparkling red rhinestones.

The 'TIS THE season to be JOLLY card is 5" x 7".  I trimmed the image panel, matted with black cardstock, cutting the perfect edge by using the 1/16" Perfect Layers Ruler.  The sentiment is a digital font (details & link below), I printed it on cardstock, trimmed to size and matted.  I made a card base from white cardstock, covered it with a jolly candy striped paper panel then layered the matted sentiment and image panel on top.  I finished the card off by adding a touch of sparkle with a Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.

. . . and of course there are some more photos to share

As You Like It Challenge - Favourite Santa or no-Santa  on a Xmas card (& Why)  I love seeing Santa on Christmas cards but I confess my favourite is NO-Santa when I make our cards, as I struggle colouring with lots of red and he wears too much red.  Perhaps I should work on a Summer Santa instead :)
