Welcome to the North Coast Creations December Release! We have some really cute images & matching papers for you! These Christmas critters are just adorable & so fun to color!
For my first card, I used this caroling trio. After stamping & coloring, I die cut & added a silver glitter die cut Fancy Circle behind it. I used some of the little All the papers are from the matching Very Merry paper pad & the greeting is from a fabulous set of Holiday Words.
Here’s the inside & the Copic colors I used.
My second card uses another image from the set & more of the coordinating papers.
After stamping & coloring I again die cut w/ the Double Stitched Circles dies. I lined up where the circle would be & stamped the branches again on the blue layer. I wanted it to look like the owls were in front of a huge moon w/ the dark blue sky behind them.
I also die cut a couple of the Elegant Emboss embellishment ornaments out of white then snipped out the snowflakes to add on the blue background.
Here’s the inside & the Copic colors I used.

Such a wonderful inspiration site Stacy chose! I’m sure a lot of people are familiar w/ Shutterstock..they have so many fabulous photos & clip art. I was inspired by THIS picture. I started w/ a new set from North Coast Creations w/ cute little critters & my card just evolved into what you see.
After stamping & coloring the polar bear family, I added a stitched circle frame then a stitched rectangle frame w/ a smaller stitched rectangle window on top of it. I die cut some white & snowflake paper hills, added them to the bottom & then attached my little fussy cut penguin. The greeting was die cut & colored w/ Copics as well as the narrow blue frame around everything.
Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used. For the snowflakes, I punched some different sized snowflakes in a piece of scrap paper & used it as a stencil to sponge on the ink

A big congrats to Vicki, the newest Featured Stamper! She has such a fab gallery & always leaves the sweetest comments. After much browsing, I chose THIS to case. I kept the gold embossed tree & Christmas theme but used different images & different dies. Also as a nod to her living in Hawaii, I used a beach shells tropical themed tree.
I gold embossed the image on some confetti sand card stock then I added just a touch of color w/ some Prismacolor pencils. On the darker sand c/s, I gold embossed the Splatter Bg on the lower section then used a curved die to cut the lower part of the tree layer. The new greeting was also gold embossed & die cut w/ a circle die. I added some gold thread tied in a bow just under the top of it.
Here’s a look at the inside.
