12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop Day 5

Welcome to the Twelve Days of Christmas Blog Hop!  You should have come from Inga's blog.  If you are starting here and wish to hop from the beginning of the hop, please visit Lisa’s blog.  This is 12 days of Christmas, with each day offering a different project on each blog. Each crafter is sharing something new each day of the hop that has to do with Christmas.  Hopefully, you’ll pick up some great ideas for your own Christmas gift giving this season.  You don’t want to miss a day so, grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and enjoy!

Here is my project for DAY 5:

 The owl is a Hampton Art stamp, which was stamped and embossed and then cut out. I colored it with Copics and used stickles for glitter. I popped it up on cream paper and distressed the edges, then put it on top of  Recollection's Christmas paper, then another piece of card stock.   The sentiment is a Rosie Road Show stamp, which was stamped and embossed. It was punched with a Stampin' Up oval punch and then distressed with Ranger Ink Firebrick Red. It was then mounted on top of a Stampin' Up scallop  punched piece of red card stock and popped up. 

The inside of the card is the same Christmas paper that was used on the front. The sentiment stamp is Stampendous. It was stamped and embossed in red.

Your next stop on the hop is Kerri’s blog.  

 I am offering blog candy, but you have to participate with a comment every day.  Don’t forget to come back every day and leave a comment for your chance to win this stamp set from Pink By Design.

More Alice In Wonderland Cards

I will have to come back and describe the items I used for these cards, because I have to make this post quickly. Today is my daughter's 32nd birthday and we have dinner plans. Happy birthday to my darling daughter, Alyssa.

This card is an easel card. I love this style for this card. This is a "Tea Party" birthday card. I'm unsure of the brand of the stamp. I bought it as just a rubber stamp last year at the Heirloom Stamp Show and then put my own backing on it.  I started out with blue card stock and made the easel. If you don't know how to make an easel card, it is rather simple and you can find a tutorial on Splitcoaststampers.

This next card is my favorite so far, of my AIW cards that I have made. I think it's because of the sentiment and the image fitting with it and the wood paper. As soon as I bought this stamp I knew what I wanted to do make with it.

I used green card stock for the card. The lighter green textured paper, on the front background, is a piece out of a DCWV stack pad - "The Guy." I punched the corners with a Fisker's "Flowers" corner punch. The seed stamp is a Stamp Oasis acrylic stamp. I cut the middle out, along with the bottom of the stamp, which had a tree for each season. I used copics to color it. The inside wood paper is from My Mind's Eye - Stella Rose- Mabel "Joy" Woodgrain Paper. I cut the "knot" hole out separately and popped it up. The Alice In Wonderland with the rabbit is from TJ Designs Rubber Stamps "Down the Rabbit Hole. It was a square stamp, but I fussy cut out Alice and the rabbit image. I used copics for the color.  The words stamp is from Invokearts #6516-D2. I used Stampin' Up craft ink and embossed it with Stampendous clear embossing powder. The ladybug is a button with the shank cut off, out of my button bin.
