Christmas Parade

I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving holiday.  My husband’s mother has been with us for a couple of weeks and this made our holiday very special.  I have not been able to post on my blog for several days so I thought I would show several of my projects today.  I also decided to create a new blog banner for the holiday season. 

I used the Peaceful Wishes image as a base for my bird and evergreen sprigs.  I stamped the bird with a linen background image.

I have had the Thomas Kinkade Stonehearth Hutch image for several years but was too intimidated to try and color it.  I finally took a stab and just did a spotlight portion for this project.

I created this dimensional country home using my Kittie Kits Farm Life. The cabin and trees were all cut out and popped up over the sky layer.

Here is another night time winter scene and it matches my new blog banner.  You can see a tutorial on how I created this project here. You can also see my multi loop bow tutorial here.

Here is a clean and simple project using a retired Stampin’ Up! set A Tree for all Seasons.

And finally a simple and sweet gingerbread boy.

  1. Your cards are beautiful Kittie! I love the cabin with the trees, so much dimension and I also love the night scene with the moon casting its glow over the firs, so beautiful!

  2. Great cards, always love the birdies perched on branches, neat framing on the next one and love the dimension on the trees in the 3rd card, love how you colored the tree for all seasons, I am thinking about using that punch for my grown neices and nephews, great inspiration!

  3. Oh, Kittie, what a beautiful collection of cards today! Of course they are always so pretty, but today’s group really struck me. I especially love the red bird in Peaceful Wishes and bow “nest” and the Tree for All Seasons ones; SO sweet! Thank you for sharing all your talent and projects with us.

  4. Oh LOVE LOVE the cabin card! LOVE all of them really! You are making me wish that I didn’t give away Tree for All Seasons! You already made me cringe about Watercolor Minis…that had been sitting un-used for ages, and then I literally found your stuff at SCS ONE WEEK LATER, eeek! But I do have Happy Winter, so maybe I can make a cute little snowman card tied with a mini gingham bow 🙂

  5. I know that it is a bit late to be seeing and commenting on this lovely night with full moon card, but I am in love with it.
    Your tutorial however is for the White Moon snow scene. I really like the Yellow Moon and would love to know in the masking process and how you achieved the yellow cast and the yellow glow on the snow. It may be a dumb question for more experienced stampers but for me it is a learning process. THANKS
