Today I am featuring a card using images from the Winterwood collection.

I stamped Dandy & Little Roo onto Copic friendly cardstock, colored with Copic markers and then fussy cut out. The background was prepared by stamping three swashes of neutral color to represent movement onto white linen cardstock. The image was attached with foam dimensionals. An inlaid snowflake and the sentiment from the previously released Holiday Time set stamped with blueberry sky ink finished up this clean and simple card.

Today I am featuring a card using images from the Whispering Pines collection. 

I stamped Perfect Pines onto Copic friendly cardstock, cut out with an arch die and colored with Copic markers. I also stamped Doe & Hart, colored with Copics and fussy cut out, adding them to the snowy scene. A preprinted sentiment strip finished it up.

While I had Doe & Hart out I decided to make a small tag also. After stamping the two deer, I masked Doe, then stamped the Little Pines image. After coloring the images I masked the pines and blended on tumbled glass distress ink and cut out with a small arch die. I added a tag topper and threaded ribbon and metallic twine through it and tied in a bow.

{The Cat's Pajamas} You've Been Good

I am sharing another card using a digital image from The Cat's Pajamas October release. Sketchy Santas was a physical product previously but is now available in digital form. 

I resized the santa with tree image and snow flakes using Silhouette software and printed onto Copic friendly cardstock. These images in the set were quite small in the physical set so it was fun to make santa much larger not to mention easier to color. After cutting out the image piece with a circle die, I colored with Copic markers and added some random red dots to accompany the red snowflakes. The sentiment was with a stitched edge die and the image circle was attached using a layer of craft foam, then a few enamel dots were randomly placed.

Today I am featuring a card using an image from the Tofu & Friends-Season's Greetings collection by Pei. 

For this card I went monochromatic, coloring the Christmas Igloo image with a variety of purple hued markers, then fussy cut out. Before attaching the image piece to the wild wisteria background panel using layer of craft foam panel, I slipped a wintery cluster underneath. The sentiment from the Santa's Sentiments set released last year was stamped onto smoky shadow cardstock using Versamark ink, then white heat embossed. A few purple flat backed jewels added a bit of sparkle.

A New Illustrator for Purple Onion Designs

Today I am featuring a card using images from the Winterwood collection. Holly is the newest artist and she has illustrated a delightful mix of Christmas and winter images. 

After stamping Benjamin (badger) and Finn (fox), I masked both and then stamped the Snowy Forest. All images were colored with a combo of Copic and Caliart markers. I masked the trees, then blended on tumbled glass and broken china distress ink to represent the sky. After adding a strip of patterned paper at the bottom, I cut out with a stitched edge die, then added a strip of cardstock for a border. The sentiment from the previously released Merriest City Sentiment set was stamp using cherry kisses ink, then attached with foam dimensionals.

Merry Christmas from Purple Onion Designs

Purple Onion Designs has a Christmas treat for you with three different collections by illustrators, Whispering Pines by Stacey Yacula,(@staceyyacula), Tofu & Friends-Season's Greetings by Pei (@chillezegraphy) and Winterwood by Holly Mabutas (@hollymubutas).

Today I am featuring a card using images from the Whispering Pines collection. 

The background was prepared by blending tumbled glass, broken china and salty ocean distress ink onto  the panel. I mixed some white acrylic paint and water, then tapped onto the background piece using a fan brush to emulate snow. I added a snow bank cut from white linen cardstock using a stitched edge die. For the image, I combined Frosty & Sweet Pea (snowman and mouse) and Murphy (squirrel) with the help of a bit of masking. I colored with a combo of Copic and Caliart markers and then fussy cut out. After stamping the sentiment from the previously released Merriest City Sentiment set using cherry kisses ink, I attached the image piece with foam dimensionals. BTW, the sentiment set has been marked down and has several really cute Christmas greetings.
