Ida 2.0 and Christmas stash for the win!

 Good day, Fine Feathered Friends!

I come bearing more cards, this time from my most recent visit with Ida.  While we ended up going for lunch, I thought it wouldn't be appropriate to bring crafts so I went empty-handed and Ida came bearing more adorable images.  Sorry, Ida...  Bonus!  Most are Christmas, so here's to adding to my stash -- thanks, Ida!

Card #1 (not so Christmas-y) ~
Unity - Reel Great Guy; Darice - Argyle

Card #2 ~
Unity - KOM August '24; Splb - A Little Message sentiment

Card #3 ~
Unity - KOM Sept '24; Splb - Ski Lodge ef; Alt - Nested Slim dies; PFS - Magical Holiday sentiment pp

Card #4 ~
Unity - KOM Sept '24; PFS - Intricate Tiles & Frames

Card #5 ~
Unity - Simply Holiday Deer Oct '24

And a close-up... if you look really close, tilt your head to and fro, crank your screen around, you may be able to tell that I "lightly" inked a sky background, masking off a drift.  The drift was then outlined with Wink of Stella... well, at least I tried to capture it, but it's pretty IRL!
ETA - there also a couple of trees that I didn't dare fussy-cut, so those were added inside, to frame the inside sentiment.

That's it for me today, thanks for popping in and sharing a bit of your day.  Off to make more cards!

Hugs,
TK

Lots and lots of cards TK and every one of them are wonderful! I'm especially loving the one with the doe and the butterfly (too sweet!!) and the last one with the sparkly snowdrift and sweet ornaments hanging from the deer's antlers! Great way to keep your Christmas stash growing and I love them all! Hugs. :0)

Oh, I see it - and love the attention to detail you've so lovingly added to all of these darling images, TK! That little mouse stole my heart away - and THEN this beautifully colored POINSETTIA! [I'm callin' dibs!] The simplicity of that skinny-legged deer and the cute little label sentiments was the topper!
What a great collection of cards - you must have had your Christmas music playing!

Your cards are all so gorgeous and beautifully designed! That was so nice of Ida!

Wowee, you've been busy and I'm loving the results! Like Marcia, I think that little doe is extra sweet, but then so is that little mouse! Wonderful cars, TK!

Wow this is a fun filled post. - First off I am so glad you enjoyed the images that I stamped for you. - We have such fun times on our get togethers. - Your cards are all wonderful. I especially liked the colors and embossing on the first card. The little deer is just so sweet and your foil sentiments look great with it. Again another awesome embossing folder paired with the adorable little mouse image, beautiful coloring on the poinsettia and the deer card is just darling. Well done my friend.

I'm sure Ida is thrilled with how you used her gifts! Such a wonderful variety of images! A perfect fisherman or fisherwoman card! An adorable deer and mouse. A beautiful poinsettia and last but not least, I love this deer standing in the snow!

You had a productive day, TK. What great images Ida has and you took advantage of them with your beautiful coloring.

LOVELY array of cards TK. They are all so lovely ... especially LOVE the gorgeous fawn - so beautiful!! All of your cards are wonderfully coloured and I did notice the sponging behind the reindeer, but glad you pointed out the sparkly snowdrift. xx

What a fabulous set of cards, TK! All of them are amazing, but the card with the poinsettia really captured my heart with the final card coming in a close second. And yes, I see the little snowdrift you created!
