Christmas All Year Long

Visit our new Christmas All Year Long Blog.  You can find a list of participants and a slide show of their cards if you don't have time to hop.  You can always go back & check each blog for details on their card.  You can also find all the info on how to join in with us next month.  Of course you have to be apart of our Magnolia-licious Yahoo Group.  To purchase one of these darling stamps, visit the Magnolia-licious Store.

February is all about LOVE and thus my decision to use this Loving Edwin, revamped for Christmas.   What better time to think of love than at Christmas. "We know what love is because Jesus gave his life for us."  1 John 3:16.

 

  

 

Images: Loving Edwin, #128...Ink/Sentiment:  printed on computer...Paper:  Stampin UP Always Artichoke & Real Red; BasicGrey Dasher Designer Paper...Jewelry:  Silver (from jewelry department at Hobby Lobby)...Copic Colors: Face:  E000, E00, E02...Clothes:  Stampin Up Watercolor Crayons Earth Elements...Heart Balloon: R29, R37, R27

This was my first attempt at a side-step card.  I found the instructions at Splitcoast Stampers.  It was a bit tricky at first.  But, I think the more I do this type of card the easier it'll be. 

Your next stop is Mae Wisor.  Enjoy!

What an inspiring idea to use this sweet Edwin with the heart to express the love God has for us. Love the little cross hanging from the heart. I've never tried a Stair Step card, but you did an excellent job on this one. hugs...Barb

What a neat card! I love how you used a non-Christmas image, but yet turned it into a perfect Christmas card =)

I love these stair-step cards...and your card is absolutely adorable. I agree that after you've made a few using the directions on SCS, they will go together very smoothyly. What a beautiful card!

Lori, terrific card. Love how you used this non-christmas image of Edwin for your Christmas card. Beautifully coloured. I like the style of your card--am starting to see it all over the place--must have a go at it myself.

Hugs.
