Freshly Made Sketches #108 (FMS #108) and Color Me Christmas

Hey there my Stampin' friends!

 

Glad you were able to stop by today.  I wanted to give you a sneak peak at the card I am going to make with my card class friends at my next Christmas card class!

 

I had a request from one of my friends to do a card with some colouring - so what better stamp set than the new Color Me Christmas, from the new Seasonal Catalogue!

 

I just love these little characters!  There are 5 in all.  Click on the catalogue on the left of my blog and get a direct link to the pages inside! 

 

I chose to use the present image for the sample, but there is a Santa, Rudolf, a Christmas tree and a stocking - perfect!

 

I also used my favorite embossing folder ....the fab chevron!  As well as the carry over stampset More Merry Messages!  If you have trouble with what to say inside a card - this set is for you!  There are 10 stamps in this set! 

 

Well, here is my card.

 

 

The supplies I used are....

Seasonal Sayings

Hi there!

I have a very happy card to share with you today!  I just LOVE the way this one turned out - don't you just love it when the ideas in your head play out on paper exactly as you pictured them?  Well, that is exactly what happed with this card! 

I love the bright colors of this card.  I took my color cue from the Designer Series Paper, that made choosing the colors easy!  I used my markers to color the stamp instead of an ink pad.  It is an easy way to get different colors on the letters and create more interest in your greeting.  But let's not forget the chevron embossing on the Marina Mist Cardstock, my favorite part of this card!  Yummo!

And the card is.....

 

The Seasonal Seasons stamp set is PERFECT for this time of year!  You get a stamp for all of the upcoming holidays - Thanksgiving, Halloween, Christmas, Valentines and the one featured here, and it can be used for anything!  It can be found on page 32 of the annual catalogue.

Early Espresso card stock and marker
Very Vanilla card stock
Cherry Cobbler card stock and marker
Old Olive card stock and marker
Marina Mist card stock and marker
