Believe In The Magic Of Christmas-Send A Smile 4 Kids

 

This month at Send A Smile 4 Kids, we are celebrating all things hearts or snowflakes. I chose to use snowflakes. I adhered a piece of patterned paper from My Mind's Eye's Oh What Fun 6x6 paper pad directly onto my white A2 cardbase. I die cut a large circle using die from Gina Marie Designs and used a drifting double edged border die from Simon Says Stamp, I created a snow drift. I inked the background of the circle die with Tim Hotlz salvaged patine distress ink. I stamped the polar bear and sign from My Favorite Things Cool Day stamp set and colored them using my alcohol markers. I fussy cut them out and popped them up off of the card using thin foam tape. I stamped a few of the snowflakes from the same stamp set using my salvaged patina. I added clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh around the images. I stamped the sentiment below the focal image using Memento tuxedo ink and Miss Ink Stamps Season's Greetings stamp set. I finished this card off with some star dust Stickles on the snow drifts and the sign. Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Be sure to stop by the Send A Smile 4 Kids blog and see how everyone else was inspired. We would love for you to participate in our challenge too! 

Merry Everything

 

Today's card was created for the latest Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge. I created my card by stamping the adorable bear from My Favorite Things Cool Day stamp set and coloring him in using my Copic markers. I then cut some frames using my paper trimmer and cherry cobbler cardstock from Stampin' UP and black and white striped paper from the American Crafts Christmas 6x6 paper pad and layered them on top of my focal panel in a wonky fashion. I stamped and hand cut the sentiment banner using My Favorite Things Jingle All The Way stamp set and Versafine onyx black ink. I popped the whole panel up off of the card using 3M foam tape for some fun dimension. I die cut some snowflakes using white cardstock and a die from Simon Says Stamp and layered them around the focal image. I topped them off with some glittery white gems from Honey Bee Stamps Fresh Brewed gem stickers. To finish off my card I added some white gel pen detail to the bear's cheeks.

Hello! I am guest designing for the latest 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown challenge. To create my card, I started by layering some navy cardstock from Hobby Lobby's Recollections onto my white A2 card base. I then layered some patterned paper from My Mind's Eye Oh Christmas Tree 12x12 paper pad. I then die cut a circle panel using more navy cardstock using a stitched circle die from My Favorite Things, embossed it using a snowflake embossing folder from The Paper Studio, and adhered it directly onto my card. I then stamped all of the images from the My Favorite Things Cool Day stamp set onto Copic-friendly white cardstock, colored them using my alcohol markers, and fussy cut them out. I popped the images up off of the card using Stampin' UP foam dimensionals and then added white gel pen details to the images. Thank you for stopping by my blog today!
