ll three of these cards were made with Stampin' Up Christmas papers from previous years. I thought it was about time I started using them.
Christmas 97 & 98
Here are cards 97 to 98 out of my goal of 100. The top card is from Whimsy, I believe. I still need to double check the manufacturer. I colored it with pencils. The next is a die set from Silhouette. I am pretty pleased with how this one turned out.
Four More Christmas Cards to Reach 100, WhooHoo!!!!
I got this B&W image on Etsy. I colored it with Copic markers. Something I didn't notice before I purchased and colored the image was that his left eye had, what looked like to me, a metal eyeglass frame around his left eye. There is no frame around his right eye. I colored the frame in with a dark gray and fortunately you can hardly see the frame anymore.
This image is from Lily of the Valley. It is colored with Copic markers and pencils for the smaller details. Stickles were added to the snowflakes and tree ornament..
Mitten Mouse
I have had this image in my "to be colored" file for about two years. I finally decided to do it today. I still have not learned the lesson to pick my paper first, then colors. Fortunately, I did have a purple Christmas paper. It was the only one and it's by Stampin' Up.The image was colored with Copic markers. I originally colored the bell silver. The more I looked at it, the more I felt it needed something. Coloring over the silver bell with golds did the trick! Stickles were added to the pompoms. The image is by Mariola Budek and is available on Etsy.
This is #91 of my Christmas stash. I was going to stop at 90, but hey, I absolutely love making Christmas cards!

Ethan
These dies are from Tim Holtz The paper is from my stash.
Ari
This is another image from Silhouette. The paper is from my stash.
Christmas Pageant
I love this Christmas Pageant design. It's by Lily of the Valley (digital). I really prefer digital images to actual stamped images. First of all they are so much easier to store. Secondly, I don't make a mess with them. I am dangerous with a stamp pad in my hand I could have ink all over my desk top. The image is colored with Copic markers. The paper is from Stampin' Up.

Santa Moon
I have had this image forever. It was in a file on my computer labeled Christmas Freebies. I have no idea who the maker of this image was. I colored him with Copic markers and used Stickles on his hat brim and the star. The paper is from Stampin' Up. A nice simple card!
Big Love in Blue
This is my personal favorite of the two cards I made with this image. You can see the rose image below. That's my husband's favorite. This image is called Big Love. It's by Mariola Budek and it's available on Etsy. I colored her with Copic markers and Polychromos pencils. The papers are from Stampin' Up.

Big Love in Rose
The image I used is Big Love by Mariola Budek available on Etsy. This is my rose version. I have also done her in blue. My husband and I differ on which we like the best. I like the blue and he likes the rose version. I used Copic markers and pencils to color this image.
Cute Christmas Tree Girl
I used an image from Mo''s digital Pencil for this cute little lass. She is colored with Copic markers and pencils. The paper is from Stampin' Up. I added minature gold beads for the garland.
Mini Stash of Extra Christmas Cards
These are pre-colored images I used to make a few Christmas cards while my eyes were not so good. The first image is from Jan's Digital Stamps. Card #2 used an image from Mo's Digital Pencil. I have no idea where I got the image for Card #3. I think it was a freebie. Card #4 uses an image from Fred She Said. I have complteted my goal to have two years worth of Christmas cards completed!
Now back to birthday cards.
Die Cut Christmas Card
I had forgotten that I had made this card...life has been hectic! I bought the die set on EBay. The paper is from my stash. I loved making this card. The only thing I don't like are the stockings. I would have much preferred solid stockings.
Christmas Light
I found this image in NoriArt on Etsy quite a while ago. I fell in love with her beautiful face. I finally got glasses that got rid of my double vision on try number three. Unfortunately, some people adapt to the prisms quickly and require stronger and stronger prisms. This is my last try with prisms. If these glasses don't work after a while I will require eye surgery. So we'll see. At least for now I can color again! This image was colored with copic markers.

Bassett Hound
I made this card for my final CT entry for Morgan's Art World. I am struggling with vision problems. I have had three sets of glasses made with prisms and so far my vision although, improved is not really great for coloring detailed images. I see double quite a bit of the time. They are also watching me for glaucoma. They are not ready to diagnose me with that, but have me using eye drops. I have always loved this image and have colored it many times.

Blue Eyes
I made a couple of cards with my Blue Eyes design. I am always mesmerized by her eyes. The image is by the ArtByteShop on Etsy. I colored the image with pencils and pastels. The papers are from Stampin' Up This image I started coloring two years ago. I usually get bored coloring an image with so much detail and the image was fairly large. I put it away and finally took it out recently and decided ti finish it. Since there was no way I would color it more than once I scanned it and reduced it significantly so I could use it on a few cards. This is it for this one. I usually don't like to repeat cards.
