GOOD MORNING!!!
It's THE day you have been waiting for!
The day Fresh Brewed Designs releases their NEW Christmas digital stamps.
I had So much fun drawing these digis.
I love everything about Christmas.
The happiness, joy, togetherness, love, and magic it brings.
And the only reason for that is because our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ was born. What a wonderful reason to celebrate.
I have seen so many people complaining about Christmas lately.
Decorations are out too soon.
We shouldn't do this or that.
If you are a Christian, you shouldn't teach your kids about Santa.
I am going to now tell you that I don't agree with any of it.
Bring on the decorations! More time to celebrate!
Santa is not 'bad' as long as you keep CHRIST first and the center of it all.
I am so super excited about the release of new movie SAVING CHRISTMAS
by Kirck Cameron. (I encourage you to check it out and watch the trailor)
I will be watching this at a theater near me soon! :)
Now enough gabbing and back to the reason I am here,
to share our NEW DIGIS WITH YOU!!!
The digi I chose to create with today is called:
This card also features a new Christmas sentiment
Wishing you a warm and cozy Christmas.
For this card I used papers from the American Craft Hot Cocoa paper pad.
I used PTI Black cardstock and white cardstock by
Cardstock Warehouse Paper Co .
Embellies: pompom, confetti snowflakes, enamel dots.
Challenges for this card:
Jingle Belles: Creatures (elves were listed... does Santa count too?)
Now another card using the same image:
For this card I used the pebbles Home for Christmas 6x6 paper pad,
a piece of dotty basics red paper from Papertrey Inc, and white cardstock by
Cardstock Warehouse Paper Co .
The glitter is all by american craft. I used a glue pen to add the dots to the blanket
and a strip of double sided tape to add the glittered 'santa belt' to the base of the card.
The ribbon and other embellies were from my stash.
Challenges for this card:

Both are great cards but I think I am partial to the one with the Santa belt at the bottom. I love the little pompom on his hat and the gole belt buckle is a very creative idea. Love that tiny tree, too.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very cute design ♥ I like seeing it in two different colors♥

Love your cards. I appreciate the Christian message that you share.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are really cute. I like the first one just a wee bit better. The Kraft, Black and small pops of color is a great combination.
ReplyDeleteVery fun Christmas cards. Thanks for joining us this week at Christmas Card Challenges.
ReplyDeleteThat such a fun image. I think both cards are fab and I do like the soft neutrals of your first card. Thanks so much for playing along with 52CCT this week!
ReplyDeleteThese are quite adorable! Such a cute image! Thanks so much for playing along with the Get Krafty Challenge on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog!
