Some new samples...

We have been busy making holiday samples here these last few weeks. I will post a few of them here, with some simple instructions. First up is the snowboarder, from MFT, colored with Copic markers. Also, the snow is from one of their border dies, cut out of felt.

These next six samples are all done with the Memory Box sets of dies and stamps. Cardstock is mostly Bazzill cardstock. Images are mostly colored using Copic marker techniques. The peace word is cut out using the Tim Holtz die, then an oval punch to give it an oval shape, and hand-trimmed for the red glitter edge. In the "deer" card, the background paper is Basic Grey Nordic line, with the frostyville border and deer trio from Memory Box. The wreath card has the Memory Box wreath embossed in Hero Arts white Ep, and die cut with the matching die.

This is the large memory Box window frame, with a silhouette stamp from Flourishes. Snowflakes are embossed with hero Arts white EP, and the snow comes from the very cool "Snow Writer." The snow globe and stamp are both from Memory Box. Gift tags are Ranger kraft small tags, trimmed to the height of an ATC, with Memory box matching stamps and dies, colored with Copics.

This frame is a set by Darcie. It includesd all the die cut pieces as well as a matching clear acrylic piece, in case you want to include shaker material. The reindeer are hand punches, flying over the pine tree background from Impression Obsession, and colored using the Ranger Perfect Pearls over VersaMark clear ink.

Here we have Melissa Frances' miniature houses, that come plain and unassembled. Using Ranger's Picket Fence Stain, it was quick and easy to paint. It is also super easy to add decorative paper. Just adhere to the paper, and trim around the edges. Everything went together with a glue gun.
