This out of this world Santa and reindeer card is so much fun! I paired the new Out of This World Christmas Stamp Set and coordinating dies with Retro Christmas Messages Stamp Set and coordinating dies.
The moon from the Out of This World Christmas Stamp Set was stamped in the lower left corner of the card panel with Intens-ified Black Ink and masked with masking paper before being inked with Lemon Drop, Splash, and Blue Hawaii Reactive Inks. The background was spritzed with White Iridescent Shimmer and allowed to air dry.
Greetings and stars from the Out of This World Christmas Stamp Set were stamped on the background with the Embossing & Watermark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
The Santa and reindeer images from the Out of This World Christmas Stamp Set and a Retro Christmas Messages sign were stamped on smooth white cardstock with Intens-ified Black Ink and colored in with Copic Markers. The images were die cut with the coordinating dies and adhered to the design with foam adhesive. Crystal Lacquer was applied to the space helmets. Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Blizzard was applied to the planet and Nuvo Crystal Drops in Gloss White were scattered throughout the design.
For the next scene card the bottom of a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" smooth white cardstock panel was masked off with post it tape and Reactive Inks in Lemon Drop, Splash, and Blue Hawaii were applied to the top part of the background. Post It Tape was used to mask off "rays" and Sea Salt Reactive Ink was applied.
A sentiment, stars, and snowflakes from the Main Kit were stamped on the background with the Embossing & Watermark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
The car, tree, and packages from the Main Kit were stamped on smooth white cardstock with Intens-ified Black Ink and colored in with Copic Markers before being die cut with the coordinating dies.
The Pop Art Fancy Dies were die cut from smooth white cardsotck and silver cardstock from the kit. The white cardstock pieces were colored with Copic Markers. The green sign was stamped with a sentiment from the Main Kit with Embossing & Watermark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
The images were adhered to the background scene as shown with foam adhesive.
Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Blizzard was added to the bows on the packages and Christmas ornaments. Nuvo Crystal Drops in Silver Lining were scattered throughout the design. Crystal Lacquer was applied to the windows of the car.
For the cat-themed scene card the bottom of a 4" x 5 1/4" smooth white cardstock panel was masked off with post it tape and Reactive Inks in Taffy and Fruit Punch were applied to the top of the panel. The Line Dot Pattern Bold Print Background was stamped over the inked panel using the same ink colors for a tone-on-tone effect. A greeting from the Meowy Christmas Stamp Set was stamped along the bottom edge of the panel with the same Reactive Inks.
The chair, cat, gift packages, and star from the Meowy Christmas Stamp Set and the clock from the Main Kit were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with Inkon3 Fadeout No Line Coloring Ink and colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. The tree was stamped with the Embossing & Watermark Ink and heat embossed with Sparkle Embossing Powder. The ornaments were colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. All the images were die cut with the coordinating dies. The images were adhered to the background with foam adhesive.
Crystal Lacquer was applied to the ornaments on the tree to finish the card.

Your first cards were obviously inspired by the "Jetsons". Stinkin cute. But my heart belongs to the cat card because she sits so majestically in front of that clock we used to have in our livingroom many years ago. Very nice cards.
