Christmas Stash (B)

 

I have come to the realization that no matter how many Christmas cards I have it isn't enough.  To make possible selling them in future years I am changing my mark on the back.  I have a stamp that says "Merry Christmas from Tom & Diane."  I am going to leave that off the back so someone else can use them , if necessary.  The above card uses an image from Mo's Digital Pencil.  I colored it with Prismacolor pencils.  The paper is from Stampin' Up.

 

 

I cut out some stars quite a while ago.  I think they were from Stampin' Up, as is the paper.  The sentiment is from Spellbinder's.  According to Pinterest I have completed 157 cards this year.  That's the most I've made in a year.  I also did a few art pieces.  Busy, busy!  Now to start my new Pinterest folder

 "My cards 2026."

 

I am having a hard time finding where I put this stamp.  If I find it, I will list the manufacturer.  It is colored with Prismacolor pencils.

Snowmen

 

I could not resist making a few more Christmas cards.  Tom was watching Stranger Things, three episodes, and I don't care for horror shows.  So I kept myself busy with making a few cards.  I purchased this image on Etsy a while ago.  I thought he was adorable  I used papers from when I started card making about fifteen years ago.  Super simple!

 

 

 

Grandkids' Birthday Cards for 2026

I figured since my Christmas cards for 2026 are done I should focus on birthday cards.  All the grandkids cards are now done.  Although, they each also get a special card for each holiday throughout the year.  All images are from Mo's Digital Pencil and colored with Copic markers.

 

This card is for Lucas, who will be turning 14. The paper is from Stampin'Up.

This is Ethan's card.  He will be eleven.  The paper is from Stampin' Up.

This is for Logan.  He is turning five!  The paper is from Stampin' Up.

This is for Aidan.  He is turning three in 2026.  The paper is a very old one from my stash.

This card is for Ari.  He will be two years old.  The paper is from Stampin' Up.

Morning Dove

 

This image was in my "Birds" folder listed as a freebie from Tidbits in 2013.  The papers are from Stampin' Up.  It is colored with Copic markers and pastels.  My birthday stash is in desperate need of  men's birthday cards so that's what I will be spending a majority of time on for a while.

 

 

Drummer Boy 2025

 

I use this image once every year.  It's one of my favorite Christmas images by Mo's digital Pencil.  I think for the coming year I will try to do a new Mo's Christmas card each week.  The paper is from Stampin' Up.  It was colored with Copic markers and chalks.

I am entering this card in the following challenges: 

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge - Christmas/Anything  Goes

Jingle Belles - Christmas 

Pattie's Creation - Anything Goes

Birthday Stash (A)

 

This card uses an image from Dr. Digi.  My Dad is very Italian.  I thought this mob guy would be perfect for his next birthday card.

These two card use a die set from Tim Holtz, I think.  I really wish I would have labeled items better when I initially bought them.

Christmas Stash (A)

 

I enjoy making Christmas cards so much I keep adding to the stash!  I already have enough done for next year so I'm working on 2027.  The above card was made with a die set from Honey Bee.

This card was made with a tag kit from Stampin' Up.

The above card image is from Whimsy Stamps. 

  

I believe this image is also from Whimsy Stamps.
