The Character Cafe Christmas Scamp and SU Patterned Pines

Happy Sunday, Friends! I was busy last night creating a few cards! I'm getting myself prepared to be crazy busy this week finishing up ALL of my Christmas creations and such. Hopefully, I'll be able to remain focused and not go off and do other things which I tend to do!!

I decided to work on using this cute "The Character Cafe" image. Isn't this litle pup the cutest or what? He just melts your heart. . .he is also a naughty little puppy because he is playing with the Christmas lights! LOL! This cutie's name is "Christmas Scamp". I colored the image with my Copic Markers, added a bit of puff paint to the cap, and a bit of glitter to parts of the snowflake background.

Okay, I was a little ambitious on this set. I not only made one card but 3 cards and to me, that's being ambitious. Actually, not really. . .the cards are very simple in design but I had fun making them. I embossed the images with white embossing powder on to a silver metallic card stock and added a bit of Scribbles paint to the Christmas tress to create the dots. That's about it.


Metallic card stock really can make a world of difference by making your card look very elegant. I bought a package of metallic card stock which by the way were on the clearance rack at Michaels. Do you know, before I head anywhere else at Michaels, I always check the clearance rack first. With a little imagination, you can really find some really good stuff. You just have to be able to imagine what you can make with them while you're there. Sometimes it's fun to find bargain stuff and create something really nice with them.


As you can see I embossed the Christmas trees on to the metallic card stock. Simple stuff so these cards were actually quite fast to create. . .that's the reason why I created 3 of them. .. :) The simpler the better.

To create the snowflake, I embossed the image using white embossing powder and cut the image out. I then punched two holes and tied a bow at the center to dress up the snowflake.

Anyway. . .I'm not gonna chit-chat much today because I really need to get started on my Christmas projects and cards so I can get them done by the end of the week. I am hoping I can get them finished so I can concentrate on perhaps relaxing a bit during the holidays. . .:)

Before I go. . .stop by my organization blog "Project Organization 365 Days of the Year" and check out today's challenge. It focuses on your craft room today!

Hope you all have a beautiful Sunday!
