Doggone Wonderful!
>> Thursday, September 5, 2019
Good morning to you!
This first card is a very simple design using a window
frame die and the little Santa pup. My background is an embossing
folder that looks like it's snowing but it has no name
on it so I have no idea who makes it, sorry.
The pup has white Liquid Applique added to the fur on his hat,
then I used a heat gun on it until it puffed up. When
I add the Liquid Applique I do it with little dots so that when it puffs up it looks very textured like fleece does.
I used DRS stamps: Santa Puppy and Doggone Christmas Greeting.
The wall in back of the pup is just white linen that I sponged with Antique Linen Distress ink.
Because of the paper's texture it looks like a plaster wall painted ivory (that's my version anyway!!).
This second card is kinda fun with the star die by Sizzix on a background made with watercolor
paper and dunked in a pool of ink (super easy way to make some backgrounds to have handy. I have them with multi colors and with just certain colors, love them all).
I used a colorful background panel behind the stars to get so fun color in the stars.
The DRS stamps I used for this are: Christmas Rooftops, and From Our House at Christmas
The house tops are topped with glue that dries white and glitter to look like the remains of snow (because it snowed the week before!!).
Hope this gives you some easy ideas for Christmas cards!
Thanks for visiting today now go get inky!

Robin, some really special Christmas cards! Love the Santa puppy with the puffed up texture and your pretty framing. Super cool multi-colored stars on the second. You have the coolest ideas! It is definitely Christmas card time. Hugz
Wonderful Christmas cards Robin! Your puppy looking out the window is adorable!! So cute with the simple snow background and the couple of stars in the corner! Thanks for the tip with the liquid applique too!
Your rooftops card is just plain FUN! Your colorful background behind the stars just takes this card to a totally new level!
Beautiful Christmas cards, Robin. That Santa puppy is adorable! The cut out stars with the colors behind looks fabulous with the house top image.
These are wonderful, Robin! Love the embossing on the white layer around your puppy. And your stars above the rooftop card is terrific. Love the rainbow of colors showing thru.
That pup is too sweet! I love the texture on his Santa hat...And the colorful starry sky on your second card is so beautiful! Awesome holiday cards!
