Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Pinkfresh Studio for their Holiday Cards Blog Hop.
My project features the Merry & Bright Toy Shop stamp & die set.
I die cut the Merry & Bright Toy Shop coordinating die onto red cardstock and then blended Lipstick Red & Schoolhouse Red in on the bottom for a gradient touch. I stamped all the images from Merry & Bright Toy Shop and colored them in with Copics.
Here’s a video to show you how I created this card.

Lee
November 2, 2018 at 9:41 amAbsolutely adorable card! And so different from what we usually see with geometrics. Loved the very soft colors of the toy interior and the gorgeous blended dark reds of the store. We could definitely hear you hadda cold and hope you feel better soon. (Try tissues with lotion and/or aloe — helps a lot with nose and lips chapping).

mypapercraftworld
November 3, 2018 at 3:53 amI also have that horrid cold, Laura … you have my sympathies … it’s tricky to make cards with a drippy, unblowable, nose! Favourite ink for using with alcohol markers … Memento Tuxedo Black … not a hint of bleeding, ever. Delicious card … such a wonderfully festive shop front … and a magical display in the windows! BTW, I could watch you colour forever … leave it in your videos as much as you like! Anita 🙂
