A Card for Facebooks Sundays with Santa Challenge

Good Morning Crafters, well you can tell me off I know Ive not been the most prolific poster of cards but as Ive been busy with looking after the neighbour its not been possible for me to do much in the way of crafting, hopefully now that shes in hospital I might be able to catch up with myself and this card Ive posted today is the start of it.
This is a Heartfelt Xmas image and to be honest I have not inked it up before and this was the theme for last weeks challenge over on SWS and I thought it would make a nice Xmas card and Im so glad I have used it.
I stamped it onto white card then used my copic pens to colour it plus some metallic pens in gold and silver. I then used my rotatrim to cut it out and mounted it onto a piece of gold card.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" card and I have used two papers from one of my Sweetshoppe Digi paper set, and Ive used play background and a green one on both there is a design of holly leaves. I then used more gold card as the first mount and the papers were cut in halve and then a piece of red ribbon around the middle.

Making Christmas Cards for Sundays with Santa

Last weeks Challenge over on Sundays with Santa on Facebook was all about using sentiments as the main topper, and I thought I would give these two Heartfelt stamps a airing and created two cards with them.
I have stamped both of the sentiment stamps onto white card with Versamark ink pad and then scattered on gold embossing powder before using my heat gun to emboss it. I then used my copic pens to colour the leaves and the scene in the P on the top one, afterwards I used for the first one Nestabilitie Labels Die No.28 its a decorative one, and for the second is a Grand circle die. I also cut out two mounts with the top one by drawing around one of the Labels 28 die and cutting it out by hand, and for the second one I used a large circle die both of them have been cut out of red card.
The base cards are A5 cards and then for the first mount is a piece of red card, on top are a A4 pearlescent card cut in halve but before doing so I have run it through the Ebosser with a holly embossing folder.
Then around the middle I have used two ribbons and attached the to the back of the red mount before placing them both on white cards.

A Card for Sundays with Santa

Good Morning, oh wow yes its snowing a real blizzard here in the west and laying, already we have at least 6 inches of snow and Im beginning to get a bit worried as I have a hospital appointment on Monday and I need to be 20 miles away for 9am just hope we dont have any problems with the roads just hope it clears by then, keep your fingers crossed as I dont fancy having to go through the preparations again its not something Im looking forward to.
Anyway todays card has been created with one of the Heartfelt Tree Stamps and I used a grey flannel ink pad to stamp it with it several times to create this snow scene. This was cut out with my rotatrim and layered up on a piece of black card.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of black card and on top I have used a piece of pearlescent card that has been run through a embossing plate and my ebosser, across the bottom I have wrapped a piece of black ribbon and on top I mounted my image and across the bottom corner I have used a diecut sentiment.
