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!)
