Jingle All the Way ~ Minkie Jingle ~ The Greeting Farm

 Happy Christmas in July crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing some fun holiday inspiration with a fab mix of clear stamps and digital stamps from The Greeting Farm. The adorable Minkies are putting on a Christmas play and everyone's invited!

This was such a fun card to design. I stamped the adorable Minkies from the Minkie Jingle stamp set and a couple Minkies from the Minkie Christmas stamp set. I colored them up with Copic markers, fussy cut them all on the line, and colored the edges of the fussy cutting with a black marker. While I was fussy cutting, I also cut out the windows on the bus. I wanted some of the background to show through.

I created a fun stage for this production using the table from the Build a Craft Room digi stamp set and the trees from the Happy Winter digi stamp set.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11

Hair: Y11, E21, E23 

Mouths: R000, R20

Black: N2, N4, N6

Red: R20, R14, R27

Green: YG11, G24, G46

Brown: E21, E23, E25, E57, E29

White: C00, C2

Bus: BG000, BG01, BG72, C00, C2

Star: Y11, Y08

Reindeer Bell: Y08, Y28

Stage: E21, E23, E25, N2, N4, N6

I ink smooshed a fun background using Frayed Burlap and Stormy Sky Distress Inks and then I blended Chipped Sapphire over portions of the panel and Black Soot Distress Ink around the edges. I dried the background with a heat tool and spattered it with white acrylic paint. Once the spatters were dry, I trimmed the panel to 6-3/8 x 4-3/8" and adhered it to a 7 x 5" card base of black card stock.

I'm playing along with the Christmas in July 2025 {BYSHC} Linky Party and I'm so happy that The Greeting Farm has joined us for this event as one of our fabulous Sponsors! Today is the last day to participate so grab your Christmas or wintry stamps and papers and create a brand new card or tag (or any paper project really) to enter in the fun. The linky party closes at 11:59pm PDT. You can check it out at the link above.

I stamped the sentiment, trimmed it, and adhered it to the card. I wrapped the tree with a bit of burlap string for a bit of texture. I had a blast making this card! I hope I've inspired you to get inky!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Inky Hugs,
