Just another Colorado Craft Company Friday FUN day!

Yes, I have been posting more than usual.  I'm on a mission, determined to have 365 cards to donate next Christmas!  So Christmas will continue for a bit, and then I'll leave you in peace for the Holidays!

I know a few of you have enjoyed my Colorado Craft Company cards ... here is a trio made with Christmas Presents and dies by Anita Jeram.  All colored with Prismacolor pencils.

I colored the second gift in his stack like a steak - do you think he will wait?

This guy is pretty protective of his family's presents... I think his bark 
is bigger than his bite!


Perhaps my favorite of all ... something about that creamy natural cardstock 
from MFT makes my heart go pitter-patter! - the hexagon, and Merry were found in my snippets bin!  A bit of gesso snow never hurts!

PTI Holiday Words dies, The Stamp Market Hexagon dies - embossed with a stencil?

Hope all your shopping is done, and presents wrapped ... 
I don't know about you, but I could use a long Winter's nap!

Oh these are just so delightful, Michele! You can post any time you want to and I won't complain one little bit. You have an ambitious but totally worthy goal. I've no doubt you can and will achieve it! Keep creating and sharing, my sweet and talented friend! Hugs!

Looks like Christmas came early for you, Michele! And you made great use of your presents! I don't think either dog is going to wait even a few more days for their Christmas treats! Perfectly colored and fun! Love that stacked speech bubble and the colors of the third card are so pleasing! That's my favorite too. Good for you getting a head start on next year!

LeAnne said...

Oh my gosh, these are ALL so cute...but I admit that last one really tickled my fancy! Cutie patooties!

You do have a way with these sets! These are all adorable, but the last is my favorite. I have a thing for bunnies!

Vikki H said...

another darling set and your third card made my heart pitter patter! I continue to make Christmas cards also because being able to send my out early this year was due to having a dozen ready from last December. The W+9 dies arrived today!😍

barb mann said...

Michele - LOVE all the cards + so many more that you post daily!!! Please let me know who makes the merry die you have used on today's bunny card. Also I'd like to know about your source for the hexagon die. Thanks so much. Your coloring always amazes!

JulieP said...

Fabulous trio and I agree, I love that last one best. 365 cards for donation???? Wow. You go girlfriend!

I haven't yet purchased any of her stamps but I think the New Years one with the cocktails is going to have a home in my craft room soon.

HilaryJane said...

No that dog will never wait as soon as he thinks no-one is looking that steak and bone will be gone. my favourite is your last card too. Those colours are just perfect and I love that embossed hexagon and the splatters xx

Rachelle Oltean said...

Three fun and adorable critter Christmas cards, Michele. I love your soft pencil coloring and all your CAS designs. TFS my friend. Love and Hugs..Nancy

Bobby said...

I think those images lend themselves to pencil coloring, Michele. Just like a children's story book. The cards are adorable. Keep them coming!

Birgit said...

Oh gosh, these are as cute as can be Michele! Who could resist such cute critters. I don't think that steak gift would last even a moment in my house. Your coloring and designs are all perfection.

Mac Mable said...

Super adorable Michele and nope that cute dog is never going to wait until Christmas day.....x. Keep these coming and wow to a target of 365 cards x.

Papercraft Boutique said...

All three are so adorable, Michele! Love the steak-look present (card 1), the shifted speech balloon (card 2), the natural color tone (card 3). The third card is my favorite too. It just melts my heart. Wonderful way to use the sentiment for grounding the bunny!

TK said...

All so darling, her images are just adorable, as are your cards!

Ros Crawford said...

I absolutely adore these!!! LOVE those colours on the last card but all 3 are frame worthy... I just can't get enough of these my friend! Have a beautiful Christmas!

Jen W. said...

Love love LOVE these! You know I'm a sucker for a pooch on a card but I must say your bunny design has really stolen my heart. Merry merry Christmas to you and your family, Michele. Sending big hugs!

Viv said...

I adore these stamps and your lovely cards of course too. Wishing you and your family a very Happy Christmas too ;) hugs Viv xx

Cindy Beach said...

I love this set and your cards highlight it with such style! In studying the details - I'd love to know what kind of glitter you used to get that chunky CLEAR look? I've bought three kinds now, but they are holographic when dry.
Your coloring gives them such personality. I love the third card best too!

Linda Callahan said...

Oh these images are the sweetest! I love the soft look of the colored pencils....adorable cards!

Barb Ghig said...

Hello, my sweet friend! I hope you and Tom had a lovely Christmas :)
Three really cute cards, Michele! I love the Kraft card base and your coloring is fabulous! Great idea to use the hexie on the last one..so fun!
