I have admired many cards with MFT's sELFie set; I finally bought the set after it had been retired and then returned to the inventory. Still hadn't used it until now - shame on me!
Stamped the elf with ornament image & colored with Copics. Trimmed with a white border and matted in black. Added 4x5.25 striped paper to an A2 card. Added a strip of snowflake paper. Adhered the sELFie panel with foam tape. Stamped, die cut and matted a sentiment & adhered to the card. Die cut 3 snowflakes and added to the card - done! I have the selfie square die but it's at home, oh well... Oh, and funny story, I put the elf on the card with the ornament going up like a balloon - had to careful peel off and try again!!
Ready for a bonus? Yes, we just did sympathy/care concern cards in September but I needed to send one from the satellite studio. A chorus friend's husband passed away & any sympathy cards from September were at home!
Supplies: Paper - Hero Arts Dove A2 card; scraps

I used a new MFT stencil to create the background containing the diagonal band; perfect spot for the stamped MFT sentiment. I die cut blossoms and foliage from scraps and arranged them on the card. Added a few gems to complete it. Sweet and quick.
I will add my Christmas card to Darnell's October NBUS Challenge #67 since my sELFie stamp is newly used. My card also fits the mood board at Christmas Kickstart #91:
That's all for now; thanks for stopping! Hope to see you in the October Diva Gallery!

two gorgeous cards, Linda! That elf - I LOVE him, and I love that he's dressed in our colour palette too. Thanks for playing along with faith and me at Christmas Kickstart, Jo x
The elf is adorable - playful image paired with terrific supporting pieces. Sorry to hear about your chorus friend's loss. Nice that you had some products on hand to make a sympathy card.
I’m going to confirm what I commented on your DCD post… cute sELFie Christmas card. Love the colours and festive design.
Glad you realised your mistake before it was stuck fast. I have done something similar many times! Love the card and I am glad that elf has come out to play at last xx
This is a cutie elf and such a fun card. And wow, a second card with minimal tools. So very pretty.
Two fabulous cards, Linda! That little elf is always good for a smile and I like the peppermint stripes you added behind him. So sorry you needed a sympathy card, but it sure is pretty!
Made me smile!
Would have made me LOL had you not put him on the right way!
2 great cards!
