The Stash Grows. . .
Three more Christmas cards are in my stash tonight! I used my new Cosmo Cricket Wonderland 8" x 8" pad in conjunction with my Elzybells Bethlehem stamp. 
I stamped several images, and after determining what colors I wanted to pull from the printed papers, I colored the images with the following Copic markers: Y21, E31, C1, T5, 0, W2, R59, YG95, and E27. After I colored the images, I used my Spellbinders Nestability dies (plain rectangle, and both plain and scalloped oval). Ribbon is SU's Artichoke grosgrain. Plain card stock is Prism Prismatics Herb Garden Dark and Blush Dark Red.
Finally, I added the little A Muse star-shaped twinkle stickers in the center of each star. The lovely Wonderland** paper really made these cards pretty simple! If you have your markers (or coloring medium of choice) out, it really doesn't take significantly more time to color two or three cards than it does to color one.
**If you don't have a source for Cosmo Cricket Wonderland
paper, I found some tonight at All That Scraps. I think that Lindsey/ Jacksonbelle usually carries it as well, but I didn't see any of the 8" x 8" pads there tonight.
Also, since I've had a couple of people ask in the past few days, the underlined blue type directly links you to products if you click on it. I am providing these merely because I was spending so much time answering questions about where I found items online. I'm sure that there are multiple places to purchase almost everything! I'm just listing some of the ones that I am aware of or have recently shopped at. Thanks for stopping by!
Very cute cards but the 1st is my favorite!

it's really nice how using the same paper and colors you can make so different and unique cards, I wish my card stash could grew as yours!
Hugs!

I know what your book should be called! It just came to me! This is so cute - you are going to die. . . "A Ribbon Runs Through It."
Okay, maybe not die, but it's clever and it suits your work so well!
By the way, I love how you ticket punched the edges of that embossed rectangle - Enjoy your day!

I swear..the Copics are the ONLY item that you have not yet forced me to buy and I am teetering on those! I just love all of your creations, Debbie. They're always so clean and neat looking. Great card...I almost bought this Elzybell, but got the girl with the sleigh instead!

Gosh, these cards are just stunning! (As always!) I love your work, and am thinking that I may *need* to purchase some Copic markers!

These are great! I like the markers~ do they cover smoothly or is it just the way the user colors with them? Anyways, you do wonders with them!

That stamp has to be the next one I buy! Hopefully, my LSS has the paper too! I love seeing 3 designs all with the same materials; makes perfect sense to do a bunch at once while you have everything out! Thanks for sharing the reminder

Your cards are really beautiful. The paper as you indicated is perfect with the Bethlehem theme -- the design is perfect for that part of the world. Great work. I am really trying to learn from your use of the COPIC markers. Thanks for sharing.
