Peeking Santa

Hello Friends and Happy Friday!  I have a quick share today featuring the Peeking Santa image from Mo's Digital Pencil.  He was an October 2025 Freebie for her newsletter and Patreon members and she hasn't offered him for sale yet, but she has some amazing digital stamps in her shop.  I've always loved Mo Manning's artwork and this Santa is drawn so realistically, this is the exact Santa I remember from my childhood. 

I've kept the image fairly large so he would take center stage, only adding a bit of patterned paper to represent a wall or door and added a bow for whimsy.  I've colored him with Copic alcohol markers and added Crystal Stickles to his hat fur.

I've fussy cut around his fingers and edge of the image so he would fit around the plaid paper, and now he goes in the post.  Have you started posting your Christmas Cards yet?  Time is flying by so we better shake a leg and get them sent.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Christmas Joy Mug - Santa

Hello Friends and Happy Wednesday!  I've got a quick share today featuring an image from the adorable Christmas Joy Mugs Set by Angie Blom. This digital set contains 8 different mug images and sentiments, and I'm working my way through all of them, coloring each with Copic Alcohol markers.

I've kept the design fairly simple, letting the Santa Mug take center stage.  I've never had a Hot Cocoa topped with red whipped cream but there's always a first time for everything!  The Buffalo plaid paper is from the 12x12 Christmas Plaid Kit by Reminisce. 

To finish the card, I've added red sequins around the focal image and Crystal Stickles on the Pom Pom and cup lip.  The images in the set are super cute and easy to color.  That's all from me today, I'll be back soon to share more of the Christmas Joy Cups.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Penny's Paper Crafty Challenges #456

Hello Everyone, it's time for another challenge at Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge Blog.  The theme this round is Anything Goes and our sponsor is the adorable Digi Doodle Studios.  For my design team project, I had the pleasure of creating my card with the so sweet image Santa's Eve.

My card measures 6"x 6" and I've used Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers for the coloring.  The designer papers are 12"x 12" individual sheets I picked up at Hobby Lobby (they have some great loose papers for a very reasonable price).  I added some Wink of Stella to Santa's white trim, mustache and beard along with the bows on the prezzies and the Teddy.  A ribbon, bow and card candy to finish the design.  I'm happy with him and just love his Pink nose!

Please join us at Penny's this week, we would love to have you.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
