Sending You Cozy Winter Wishes

 

Today's winter card was created for both the Paper Players and AAA Cards challenges. I used the Falling Snow stencil from SSS and TCW pearl white stardust butter to create snow on a simple panel of baby blue cardstock. I cut that down and adhered it straight to the card panel. I die cut the snow drift using a SSS Drifting Edge die. I adhered that directly to the card panel. I stamped the focal elements form MFT's Winter Wishes stamp set, colored them using my alcohol markers, and die cut them using the coordinating dies. I adhered them to my card panel, some directly with liquid glue and others with thin foam tape. I finished off the card by adding the sentiment from the same stamp set, and some Stickles in Star Dust. Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I appreciate each and every comment left on my projects! Stay safe and warm. 

Believe In The Magic Of Christmas

Hello, and happy Friday! Today's card was created for the latest Freshly Made Sketches card challenge. I created my card by stamping the adorable snowmen from Close To My Heart's Snow Friends stamp set onto my card base using a Copic-friendly ink. I colored the snowmen with my alcohol markers and then masked them off using a bit of painter's tape. Using the Falling Snow stencil from Simon Says Stamp and Hero Paste in white, I added my snow. Once that dried, I ink blended several shades of Tim Holtz distress inks in shades of blue to create my sky. I stamped the sentiment from Miss Inks Stamps Season's Greetings stamp set onto white cardstock, created a fishtail banner, and adhered it directly to the card panel. This was a very simple card to create and think I might make several more of this one to send out at Christmas. Thank you for stopping by my blog. All comments are read and appreciated greatly. Have a safe and dry weekend!

 

Santa Has Favorites-Send A Smile 4 Kids

 

This month at Send A Smile 4 Kids Send A Smile 4 Kids we are celebrating Christmas for kids. I thought it would be fun to create a sweet card for my youngest granddaughter. I stamped the adorable images from My Favorite Things Jingle All The Way onto Copic-friendly cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink. I colored the images using my alcohol markers, and fussy cut them out. I then die cut a panel of white cardstock using a layering shaped die from Spellbinders. Using Simon Says Stamp's Falling Snow stencil white Hero Paste, I created a snowy background. Once the paste was dried, I inked the background using Tim Holtz distress inks in blues. I mounted the panel directly to my A2 cardbase and stamped the sentiment below it is using Gina K Designs black ink. I popped the images up on the focal panel using foam tape to create a fun, wintery scene. I added some white gel pen details to finish up this cute Christmas card. Thank you for stopping by my blog and be sure to head over to the Send A Smile 4 Kids blog and join us in this fun challenge.
