Gnomes & Julie Nutting Doll Christmas Cards

Hi guys! I have some more Christmas card ideas for you in two NEW and quick YouTube videos! In these tutorials, I shared how I created my own Gnomes and how I used Julie Nutting's doll stamps on my cards. They are both fun ideas.

Let's look at the Gnomes! I printed images to make a template for these 6 x 6 sized cards. Then, I traced them on my card base and on patterned paper to make their body and the hats. Finally, I painted them and added their cut out hats. So cute! I hope you give them a try.

Used Kaisercrafts patterned paper.

Here is the video tutorial "Christmas Cards & Gnome Tutorial with Paper, Paint & Pen." Link Here

The next video is featuring Prima's Julie Nutting doll stamp. I just loved making cards with her. I make two sizes, 5 x 7 and a slimline style. I bought this stamp from Demali Handcrafts. Demali Handcrafts Here

The stamp is called "Phoebe."

This doll is over 7 inches long and worked better on the slim line card.

Are you making cards this year? If you are, I hope you found some inspiration here. Thanks for stopping by and have a terrific day.

Soul Sistah Painting

I love trying new things in art. It is like an adventure and a hearty challenge. So after I saw this picture of the soul singer Ledisi, I just had to try it. Love the dark eye shadow and the head tilted. So dramatic! When I first tried adding the blue eye shadow to my painting it looked cool to me. But when I had my hubby look at it he nicely told me the blue I did made her eyes look hollow! LOL! So I went back and added a lighter blue and that did it! So here are some pictures showing the progression of my version of Ledisi. Thanks for stopping by! Have a super day.

My Birthday Blog Party

Welcome to my Birthday Blog Party! I am starting my celebration early to fully enjoy my day. My actual birthday is May 29th but why not start early right? :) When I think of birthdays past, they were always such exciting times for me. Many of my birthdays were celebrated with fun parties from my childhood to my young adult years. I loved all of those special parties and to this day, I still love it. Maybe this is where my love for event planning all started. At my 3rd birthday, my parents gave me a big one. I don't really remember but the pictures are so cool. I had lots of kids there, a clown, a little merry-go-round ride and lots of games. I had a white little outfit on and was looking so cute for a Spring party. Boy, I looked so happy! Also, I was brave not to be afraid of the clown, too. My mom was holding me as I blew the candles out. Another year, I had my first slumber party. That was so fun! I invited several friends and a cousin. It was so great to have m
