Hi All!
I’m really starting to get into the swing of Christmas cards. I love them! Today I used Stampin’ Up!’s Holiday Home set. This set is awesome because (a) it has so many pieces for detailing and (b) it covers several holidays and occasions.
I used Copic markers for the main home and some masking for the background. I’m also really enjoying my WOW Sparkling Snow embossing powder with glitter.
This weekend I will be participating in a very exciting blog hop, so please come back to see me. In fact, I will actually have TWO videos! Can’t wait to share them with you.
Enjoy the video and have a great week.

Very nice card!! It looks easy to reproduce! Thanks for the great idea and the video. I always love learning by videos because I can pick up subtle nuances that the artist takes for granted.

Oh Darlene, I just got this set a couple of weeks ago and I love it, all of the images are so detailed and so cute, I didn’t buy the die set because this little houses are so very easy to cut out.
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful Christmas card.
Margaret
I love your card. Thank you again for your tutorials. I learn so much!

Hi Darlene,
Fabulous card! I love all the little details, really make it stand out.
Had an opportunity to go to the Hero Arts Factory store today and what a great place that is!
Didn’t know they had such a thing but they do! Got some great stuff at 50% off and more! I haven’t done much with Hero Arts but see the work you do with them and they are becoming one of my fav companies!
Thanks again for all our inspiration!

Just love how the house in the front stands out so beautifully against the outline image of the other ones!

Very creative as usual. I was anxious to find out how you did the shadow for the houses. So easy after watching your video. The moon adds an extra pop too. Thanks.

I have been absolutely loving your blog and your cute cards! I am wondering what kind of Neenah white cardstock you use. I know you mention Solar White, but which weight? I would like to try it with my Copics. Thanks for all the inspiration! Terrie
