Creative Vision Stamps Week and Giveaway: Day #2...Elf This

Hello again, my crafty and creative friends!
Today is Day#2 of Creative Vision Stamps Week & GIVEAWAY
here at my blog!
(*Details re this week;s GIVEAWAY(S)  are posted at the end of this blog post)

I've got some fun cards to share with you today...
each created with a Creative Vision New July Release stamp set called ELF THIS.
(You can see the entire release... stamps and Foilables... HERE)

I think that you're going to fall in love with these adorable, spunky elves
just like I have!

Today I'm sharing 4 cards with you...
Each one was created with one of the 4 elves included in the ELF THIS stamp set.

So here we go...
get ready for some big elfy-personality!
(These guys are too cute!)

 This stamp set has the cutest elves...and some sassy sentiments.
One of the sentiments is "Elf this"
Another is.... "that"

I paired this exasperated looking shoveling elf 
with the "White Christmas?" & "Elf this" sentiments.
I colored the image with Copic Markers...
and die cut the image piece with a Wonky Stitch die.
I chose a Wintry print that went well with the colored image.
I used metallic green card stock for matting the print... 
the image layer and the sentiment pieces.
I positioned the matted image layer with fun foam for added dimension.
I finished the snowy area of the card with Clear Wink of Stella.

I created a second card with the "White Christmas?" sentiment
and this time....I paired it with the "Elf that" sentiment
for some more elfy-sassiness.
Again...I colored the image with Copic Markers...
 Chose a print...matted the layers with silver metallic card stock.
and positioned the image layer with fun foam.
The sentiment pieces were matted with black card stock.
I used silver thread as an embellishment to finish the  card.
Clear Wink of Stella was brushed over the snow areas of the image.

I chose a fun sentiment about Santa for this card...
It's perfect I think...
for this image.
I used a cloud stencil to create the clouds...
Colored the image with Copic markers...
and added clear Wink of Stella to the snowy areas.
I die cut the colored image with an arched die.
I chose a print that went well with the image ...and matted it with red card stock.
I stamped the sentiment on a die cut and inked banner...
and positioned the image piece with fun foam.
All of the elements came together nicely to create this fun card!


After creating 3 cards with  3 hard-working-snow-shoveling elves...
I created the last of today's cards
with this fun loving little guy on a flying saucer sled!
I colored the image with Copic markers...
and used a rectangle stitched die to die cut the image.
I added silver thread and a mini jingle bell to the matted image piece.
I chose 2 prints
and I matted each layer with black card stock.
The image layer was positioned with fun foam.
I like the print combination 
and how the image and print colors all work well together.
(The red print reminds me of a Nordic sweater....very Wintry)

So now...it's time for me to ask...
Are you totally smitten with these elves...like I am?
(For me...it was love at first-inky-sight!)
Look at these pointy-eared cuties!

Are you in Christmas-in-July mode now?
(I am!)

and...because Christmas usually involves gift giving...
I've got one of this adorable ELF THIS stamp set to give away!
To be in on the GIVEAWAY you just need to have a USA mailing address...
