Hello! Today I’m sharing a CAS Christmas card created with Avery Elle supplies.
I used the Falling Snow die to create the background for the Copic-colored Santa (I also used colored pencil on his boots and belt).

Snow Day
Hello! Today’s I’m sharing a CAS, winter-themed card. Here in the Pacific Northwest, we’ve just had our first significant snowfall of the season in the mountain areas.
I rummaged through my dies to find a wreath that would work with the Small Winter Sled finding the one in the Holiday Arbor Accessories set to fit well. I heat-embossed the sentiment from Snow Day with silver embossing powder and cut the white cardstock with one of the dies in the Stitched Hillside Border set. The patterned papers are from a Lawn Fawn pad purchased several Christmases ago.

PB Simplicity – Winter Village Die-Cut Scene
Hello! Today, I’m sharing a CAS winter scene created with Penny Black supplies.
I Distress-Inked the background panel with Blueprint, Salty Ocean, Wilted Violet, and Milled Lavender. Once dry, I heat-embossed the Santa and reindeer from the 40-406 Snow Dasher set with silver embossing powder.
I die cut 51-156 Tiny Town and backed the openings with silver foil. I finished off the card with a stamped sentiment from the 30-259 Wonderful & Jolly set.
I hope you’ll head over to the Penny Black Simplicity blog where I recently shared this winter-themed card using the same Distress Ink colors.
From Witch to Girl Elf!
Hello! I’m sharing a CAS holiday card featuring a female elf (who just happened to have once been a witch!). For the August Taylored Expressions release, I created this card with the Roly Poly – Witch die set. With just a few modifications, she’s an elf for Christmas.
I die cut the pieces from the Roly Poly – Witch set and used corresponding Taylored Expressions ink colors to the die-cut pieces. In addition to that set, I used the cheeks from Roly Poly – Santa. To finish, I added a frame cut from gold cardstock with the Picture Perfect – Vertical set.
As Buddy the Elf, the inspiration for my card, says: “The best way to spread Christmas Cheer, is singing loud for all to hear.”
Supplies: Background paper – Doodlebug Here Comes Santa Claus patterned paper

An Autumn Day – Penny Black Simplicity
Hello! Today I’m sharing an autumn-themed card created with Penny Black supplies. The leaves are almost off the trees here in the Pacific Northwest, but just a week ago there was quite a color show. I think I appreciated the fall leaves this year more than I ever have before.
To create the trees, I colored watercolor paper with Distress Inks and then cut it (once dry) with the 51-208 Trio of Trees die set. I colored the trunks after I die cut, using several brown Distress Inks. I also watercolored a background on a watercolor panel with one of the colors in the Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolor set and stamped it with a sentiment in the 30-350 Sentiment Collection set.
