McMahon Five Designs- More Holiday Projects

 I have all of the Fall cards I need, so have started on some Christmas Projects......   I used new releases from McMahon Five Designs for my projects today.

 I just got my new Cd from the Technique Junkies- The 3D and Fun Folds Paper Crafts- and I found a number of projects that I want to try......this is the first one- it is called a feestanding pop-up.  It was quick and easy to put together.  I used an image and sentiment from the Funny Little Christmas set. I colored the image with Copic Markers- I sponged on a sky (using Soft Sky and an oval scalloped punched out scrap), and stitched around the edge in a Zig-Zag stitch.  There are Versamark Dazzle stars stamped on the Pop-up base.  HERE is the link for more info about the CD- Oh- say hi to Pat for me if you decide to order a CD!

 Here is a close up of the image and sentiment:

 I could not resist the Vintage Santa image, 'Santa's Song' - and had to give coloring him a go- Copics and Reds can be a touch challenging to me, but I was happy with how the card came out......

  The background paper is My Minds Eye and the rest is from Joann Fabric stacks.  I used Technique Junkies Out of the box and Wisped Frames for the image. I colored with Copics and added liquid applique to Santa's fur and beard. I used Ranger Antique Linen distress ink for sponging around the Nestability frame. There are also Sakura Gelly Roll Pen accents on the card- which was printed on Cryogen White cardstock- so it is very shimmery to start out with.  I added a letter to Santa...and a sentiment from Create with TLC. 

 Have you started making your Christmas cards yet???

Thanks for stopping by!
