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! 

Cozy Vibes

 

Hello, happy Monday! I cannot believe that Thanksgiving is this week. I am way behind on creating my holiday cards this year, so the Freshly Made Sketches and Inkspirational challenges was not only fun, but useful in helping me get another card into my stash. I started by layering some pretty green snowflake patterned paper from My Mind's Eye Oh What Fun paper pad onto my card base. I die cut a white panel using a Paper Rose stitched rectangle border die and adhered that down. I created a fishtail banner using a banner die from Unity Stamp Company and adhered that to the focal panel. Using Echo Park's Wintertime Branches dies and paper from K&Co designer mat pad, I created the pine branches and glued them down behind what would be my focal image. I stamped the mug, gingerbread man, candy cane, holly sprig, and sentiment from the Essentials By Ellen Cozy Cuppa stamp set and colored them using my Copic markers. I fussy cut around the images and popped them up off of the card using thin foam tape. I finished the card off with some white gel pen details and sparkly clear confetti from Pink & Main. I appreciate you visiting my blog today!
