Hello! It’s Mindy from My Creative Scoop and I’m so excited to joining Dana for her 2019 Got Joy Christmas Card Series! I’ve been card-making for going on 13 years! My favorite part is coloring with my Copic Markers – I just love to bring a stamped image to life. I live in Southern California with my hubby and our 3 kids, Ralphy 20, Belle 16 and Katie 12. I’m fortunate enough to have made my hobby a full-time business where I teach online and local Copic classes. Thank you for joining me today and I hope I will inspire you to create your Christmas Cards this year!
Today I’m using a stamp set from My Favorite Things, Tweet Holiday’s. All my images with Memento Black Ink and Stamped onto my Copic Xpress it Blending Card using my Misti.
I used the following distress oxide inks to create the colors behind my Snowflake Window Die:
Barn Door, Picked Raspberry, Broken China and Mowed Lawn.
The Copics I’m using to color are: E41, E42, E43, B00, B12, YG61, YG63, R85, R83, R81, N3, N1, C00
I hope you enjoy my video below!
I absolutely LOVE the way this card turned out. I hope you feel inspired and ready to create!
Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a great day and a Merry Christmas!

![Hello everyone. I hope you are having a wonderful Thursday. Unfortunately I will not be able to complete my holiday card series this year. The strain of sitting in my craft room for long periods of time is causing my back to endure more pain. In August I had my second back surgery in 18 months and was hopeful that my back pain would be resolved. My healing process has been a LOT SLOWER than I had anticipated and while trying to rush back to crafting, I am not doing my body any good.
With that being said, I am trying to keep my spirits positive and create the best I can right now. That means limiting my time in my room and resting my body. On top of everything I ended up with Covid a month ago and I still have lingering side effects. However I have a strong faith and I know this is just a hiccup in the road of life. Things will be better, my body will heal and I will be refreshed to return to the crafting I have loved for over 20 years. Feel free to catch up on my precious holiday card series in my playlist to keep you going on your holiday cards. Link In bio.
I wish each and every one of you a Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday and let's bring in the New Year healthy! Until then, stay safe and I'll see you back here soon!
P.S. I did try Amber's @ [17841400753513434:@damasklove] felt holiday wreath while sitting on the couch. Oh SOOO cozy!
