NCC ~ Santa Buford ~

Good morning!  I hope this note finds you snuggled up with a nice cup of cocoa!  The weather has taken on a decided chill and a few snowflakes even made their first appearance of the year!  I'm excited to sit down with family and friends this week to celebrate Thanksgiving.  I have many things to be thankful for this year.  Sometimes in the hectic schedules we all keep, it is easy to lose sight of them!  

And tomorrow marks my very first Merry Monday post!  I will share a Christmas card each and every Monday until the big day.  (And I may just keep this tradition going all year...)  Because just like many of you, I have a number of obligations that keep crafting time to a minimum.  So why not get a jump start and create ONE Christmas card each week?  By this time next, year I will have 52 cards complete!  WOW!!!!  

Today I have a fun card to share using North Coast Creations' Santa Buford image along with a sentiment from the Cactus Lights set...

and a few fun items from our sister company, Our Daily Bread Designs 

Thanks for stopping by...  until next time...

Blessings...

 

Welcome to North Coast Creation's Latest Release

Welcome to the November Release for North Coast Creations!  We have some super cute stamps to share this month.  The designers each have special projects to share.  So let's dive right in with the first card featuring the new stamp Cactus Lights...

I started with a salmon colored base and added a white mat.  I chose a "non-traditional" pink DP from Christmas Paper Collection 2014.  I stamped, colored and fussy cut my image before nestling it on a die cut oval base (ODBD's Ovals Die & Stitched Ovals Die.)  I used a Hollyhock colored die to stamp my sentiment and cut it down to the desired size.  

So here's the set...

And for my second card I chose the new Christmas Tree Maxwell set.  I just love Moose...  I suppose that is plural???  lol

I started with Kraft card stock for my base and added a bit of mat gold matting.  For this project, I pulled out Our Daily Bread Designs' Christmas Card Collection 2015.  I stamped the image on Copic compatible paper and colored him before sponging in a sky blue ink for the background.  I added a pit of sparkle glue to the star and ornament for fun and once dry adhered the panel (with Kraft mat) on the top of my card.  I highlighted the sentiment panel with a wooden button and bit of baker's twine for a bow.  

And here is the set...  Isn't Maxwell super cute!???

How could anyone resist that Moosie face?  OK, is moosie even a word???  lol

Be sure to visit the rest of the design team (AKA the "Coasters") and check out their creations!  Have a wonderful day!
