Christmas Wine Card

 Hallo,

   Made this card for a coworker for our work Christmas gift exchange. She had wine on her Christmas list and this was a cute digi I found from Sal Scheibe (Etsy) I had a couple other digis from this artist from back when I was a design Team member for Sweet Pea Stamps and was glad to find them on Etsy again!!!

   I colored her with prismacolor and polychrome pencils and embellished with red rhinestones and a die cut Merry Christmas.

  Have a very Merry and Blessed Christmas !!!

Festive Christmas cards

Hallo,

   Trying to use up stuff I have had in my stash for awhile - someone gave me a box of craft items a couple years ago and it included some Christmas themed stickers and such so I decided to make a couple cards with them.

So ows your Holidays so far???

Hallo,

  Sows your Holidays shaping up? I couldn't resist using this one for a few Christmas cards - can't even remember who makes it. I colored her up with prismacolors and added a die cut Merry Christmas with copper shiny paper and bronze pearl drops.

   So far I have made 60 Christmas cards and would you believe it really hasn't even made hardly a dent in the stack of Christmas papers I have....I probably have enough paper to make a couple thousand Christmas cards at this rate....

   Have a great day!!!

Ornament cards

Hallo,

  Just a short post before work this am. 

Some coloring, some die cutting, some fussy cutting all on a kraft card base for a vintage type look.

   Finally getting close to the end of my Christmas card making frenzy - only about 20 cards to go( I send out over 70 cards every year). I finished off about 25 cards over this weekend.

Harley Santa

Hallo,

  Well another weekend has flown by here for me - yard work, house work, some studio time and some time in the craft room finishing up some more Christmas cards. I have been coloring the images on the couch in the evenings while watching TV with the hubby and then putting them together usually goes pretty quickly.

   This is a digital image from Sheep Ski Designs, colored with prismacolor and polychrome pencils. Edges with a silver krylon pen and snowflakes dies from Spellbinders.

    Have a great day!!!

First batch of Christmas cards 2020

Hallo,

   Well I have finally got a start on my Christmas cards. I don't know if I will get all 80 or so that I usually send out made up(instead of store bought) but last year I didn't get any made so I am at least a bit ahead of the game this year.

   Last year I was working up to a big remodel on my house and was sorting, packing and purging in almost every spare minute for almost 6 months ahead of time - spare minutes being hard to come by .....

  The stamps I used are from one of my favorite companies - sadly no longer in business - Flourishes. Colored with prismacolor and polychrome pencils, a spellbinders die, gold krylon pen and some gold pearl drops.

   I don't take as much time for crafting/rubber stamping since I started painting more  but still love it just as much!!

    All for today - Take Care

Christmas Bulebirds

Hallo,
   Well as you may have noticed, this is the same stamp as I used for the Christmas cardinals post only in a different color this time to make 'Bluebirds'. It is a really pretty set from Flourishes - sadly no longer in business.
   Taking the day to run errands and clean house so I guess I better get started.

More Christmas cards

Hallo,
  A few miscellaneous themed cards today - anyone have cats as pets. I have 2 but they are both about 10 years old now and hardly even notice the tree - the pups are a different matter. My younger dog 'Duke' has already 'opened'  2 packages.....my older dog hasn't bothered them this year. The pups are 3 and 5 years old so maybe settling down a bit also....
   All the images are colored with prismacolor and polychrome pencils(my sets are all mixed together...)
        I mostly use cryogen white cardstock as it is a nice smooth cardstock and great for coloring both with pencil and copics.
  All for today ya'll

Bethleham cards

Hallo,
  Just a few more Christmas cards for you today - sorry the second one is a bit blurry - was trying to get all the photos done so I could get them in the mail. I was a bit later getting my cards out this year than usual.
  Off to work I go....

Christmas Cardinals

Hallo,
   Well it has been awhile again since I posted but I have been busy. I started my Christmas cards months ago by coloring up the main images while relaxing on the couch in the evenings - that part takes the longest. Then I spent a couple evenings cutting out the snowflakes with my cuttlebug - I used left over cardstock from my Daughters wedding invitations. The white and teal are a beautiful sparkley paper and made great snowflakes.
    Then it took me several days(before and after work) to put them all together - 58 total handmade this year so you will be seeing several more posts of Christmas cards this week!!!
   It feels like it has been a busy fall - Only did one craft market this year as a seller and several as a 'buyer' (but didn't buy too much)
   My Daughter was home for Thanksgiving - the Hubbys Birthday was on Thanksgiving this year so she surprised him. Was nice to have her home - too bad her Hubby Josh couldn't make it as he is deployed right now....
   Really haven't been up to much else - hobbling around with my cane, I finally have a date to get my left knee replaced. Jan 7th. It will be nice to have 2 good knees again!!!!
   All for today - Take Care

A bit chilly...

Hallo,
  Well we are a bit chilly this am here in NW Florida - the breeze is just a bit nippy. The pups love the cool weather and so do I and makes the morning walk a bit quieter as few people are 1 - out as early as the pups make us go and 2 - few go out when its this chilly. So all I have to watch for is squirrels and cats so my big boy doesn't yank my arm off....
  I have 2 more simple cards for you today - the pretty cardstock is from Paper Temptress and is so shimmery!! Then I just used some stickers and a little shaker box (and forgot the shaky stuff - I need to go back to AC Moore and see if they have more of the shaker stickers so I can do some with some glitter snow in them...)
    I spent most of the day yesterday in my studio playing with a couple encaustic paintings I am working on - have to put on about 2 more layers of color for the 2 big ones and then I can start carving them. The carving is done on the smaller on so will start on the texturizing
   I picked up some leaves on my morning walk that I will include in the  next painting I have planned. I really liked the small painting I did at J.C. Campbell with the ginkgo leaves - so I found some on Etsy and now have a bunch to play with - The background will be 3 shades of teal/turquoise and then I will add the ginkgo leaves and probably one or 2 of the pretty red ones that I found this am - not sure if I will do a shellac burn on this one or not....
     All for today - take care!!!

More simple Christmas cards.....

Hallo,
  Well the pups made us go for an early walk - walking of some of that turkey and pie.... and I am headed for the studio for a good part of the day. No shopping for me - believe it or not I am pretty much done with shopping for Christmas - maybe one or two little things....and if I can think of something good for the hubby....
  A couple more simple Christmas card for you today - found the cute jar shaker at AC Moore  - and then forgot to add shaking things....sigh....
  But they still are cute!!! Pretty shimmery cardstock from Paper Temptress and some cute stickers.
  All for now - gotta get in gear....

Quick and simple Christmas Cards

Hallo and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!,
  Happy to be lounging around today smelling the turkey bake, watching the Thanksgiving Day parade....
  Showing you some Christmas cards I did last weekend - a few quick and simple ones that still looks great!!!
  The first one is just a couple stickers onto a really pretty shimmery cardstock from Paper Temptress. The shimmery paper really makes the card!!!
  The second one is on one of Paper Temptresss' columned paper with a bit of their ribbon also as well as a few stickers and the little clothespins.
  I have been playing in my art studio a bit too and will have some pictures soon of what I am working on there - doing a few bigger pieces. And I have a new site for my art also - www.vangoart.com - under Tera Fujan - I currently have 4 pieces up for sale with a few more awaiting approval - they are a juried site which means better for me because there wont be a ton of the same stuff to sift through, and currently they don't have a lot of Encaustic works so will see if I can sell a piece or two (then I can replenish my dwindling wax supply...)
   All for today - Have a great Thanksgiving!!!

Shepard boy - red

Hallo,
  Last Christmas card for the week.
Another card using the 'Little Shepard' from Aurora Wings. He is colored as almost always onto cryogen white paper from Paper Temptress with prismacolor pencils.
  The base cardstock is also from Paper Temptress from the 'incandescent' line called 'Rooso. This is a great red for Christmas cards - a fine texture and a wonderfugl sparkle!!!
   All for now - have an Art reception at the gallery tonight, should be an interesting show - shades of blue only - no teal or turquoise or ect....
