3 cards! (Glass Baubles again!)

Hi, everyone!
I made many cards today. Because I have to rush to make many Christmas cards to mail them soon. I sent part of them already, but I need more...
So I tried to make them taking on Hero Arts 'simpleholiday' challenge, this week.

Well, I introduce you another design card. This would be the last design today, I've thought about a few similar designs in another colors and styles already though. I have no power to continue...

Here are the cards.
I also have got some inspirations from my previous card, '6" x 6" card - Season's Greetings'. Again, the Glass Baubles design! Ha.
This time I made these Antique Brocade Cling stamp for the baubles. The base cards are HA Kraft notecards.

And this is a closeup of one of the cards.
It took about 20 minutes per a card. So I could finish them. :)

6" x 6" card - Season's Greetings (Baubles)

Hi, evereyone!
Finished to make one more card! This was a big one and also for Hero Arts 'simpleholiday' challenge.
Actually, I had a small inspiration for this card when I made the bauble shaped slider cards in this early morning. So I tried it.

再び、クリスマス・グラスバブルのデザインで、大きめのカードを作ってみました。こちらは、今朝方スライダー・カードを作っている時に、アイディアが頭の隅に湧いて来て、それを実現させるつもりで作ってみたもので、サイズが約15×15cmになりますが、使い残りのスタンプしていた紙などを使いましたので、約20分ほどで出来上がりでした。*^^*

Here is my result.
Used the Elegant Brocade and the Antique Flower Background stamps like decoration patterns and a metallic part of the big bauble. The color of the suede tape is kahki green. So this has a little traditional Chiristmas colors.

Here is an another angle photo.
The center strip in a small bauble was a left over paper which the Antique Flower Background was stamped. And the vellum in a big bauble was also a scrap left.
I just diecutted the baubles and did distress inking, embossing, and layering. After that, I put some embelishiments or ribbonon, and two stitching lines on it. So it took me about in 20 minutes or so.

stamp used:
HA Design Block Antique Flower Background / S5264

HA Clear Design Holiday Cheer / CL359
Technique Tuesday stamp

Simple and flat Christmas card

Hi, there!
I just made one more design for Hero Arts 'simpleholiday' challenge to use very popular Sparkle Clear 'Merry Christmas' stamp among us, HA fans.
But this is the first time that I used it.
While looking at the stamp, I hit upon this design.

Here is the card.
This is just a simple and flat card.
The coloring for tree and the row of snowmen are color pencils, blending with copic colorless blender on the stamped image to use oil based stamp ink. I also put Fun Flock and Distress stickles for the snow.

stamp used:
HA Sparkle Clear Merry Christmas / CL364
HA Clear Design Holiday Cheer/ CL359 (partly use)

Christmas Bouble slider cards (スライダー・カード)

Hi, there!
Made these quicky cards for Hero Arts 'simpleholiday' challenge.
I went out from Thursday and came home Sunday evening yesterday. So I tried to make these for it. It's Monday morning (midnight) here.

こんばんは♪ 久しぶりにココに日本語を書きました!
昨夜一緒に遊んでいた私の友人達は、こんな真夜中に何をしているのか?と思っているかと思いますが・・・、1時間程(50分くらいかな?)で簡単なスライダーカードを3枚作りました。 おとぼけ顔の鳥達がかわいいでしょ?(笑)

Here are my cards, 'Christmas Bauble slider cards'.

and the pic of  the slider card open.

Sorry the photos above weren't in good condition.
All the colorings into the stamp images are copics. The snow hills were drawned by the dark brown marker and put Fun Flock by Stampendous.
It took me in an hour (approximately 50 minutes) to finish these three cards. I enjoyed making them! :)
