Festive alpaca

I have two sisters. Both knit. So, anytime I hear alpaca, I think wool. And I think them. This card is for the sister who seems to dig shaker cards. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The Fuse tool sure does make shaker cards easy. :)


The alpaca is so adorable! I colored him gray because I thought it would look nice with the purple, and I added some white stripes to his scarf using a white gel pen.

Knitting sheep

This card is for one of my sisters. She is a big time knitter, and I just knew that I had to use Lawn Fawn's Baaah Humbug stamp set for her card. I stuck with traditional Christmas colors and really like how my card turned out.


The next photos show all the sparkle that I added to my card. I used clear Wink of Stella on the string of lights and the Santa hat, and I used a glitter pen to add little dots to the packages and the bow.

Christmas wreaths

I made another batch of similar cards for the lovely folks on my Christmas list. I went back and forth between two different green inks and ended up with a couple of looks. I'm not sure which green I like better.


This is definitely a CAS card for me. I didn't even add sequins or Wink of Stella!


I did use glitter cardstock for the bow, though. I had to add just a little sparkle.


I was going for a more masculine card, and I really think I nailed it.
