Snowman

Here's another card I created for a swap hosted by Stephanie Drewa. I do believe her theme was snowmen or snow or something like that. I love how cute this snowman is! Simple. I colored the image in using my Marvelous Markers by Stampin' Up. The snowflakes are punched out using some punches that I have. Then I sprayed them with some glitter spray. The little circle piece is what we, on my fav. MB, refer to as "Skittles" not sure who came up with that name! They are actually sold in the flower section of a local (Big Box) crafting store. You can get a whole bag of them for like $5! Someone in the crafting world caught onto what we were doing and marketed them under a new name, in various colors for $3 for a tiny container! What a rip off! I actually had bought a bunch of them a couple of years ago when the craft store had them on Clearance for $2 a bag! I probably have about a Zillion of them! So I thought it was about time to start using them!!!! :)
The second picture is of the inside, where I stamped "let it snow" and added another snowflake.

Christmas In July SWAP-Snowmen

It's that time again! The Christmas In July Card Front Swap on my favorite MB! This year we had a few different themes to choose from. This one is for the Cold Twigs, Warm Heart (aka Snowmen) theme. I first stamped the snowman onto a plain piece of white cardstock, then created a mask. I also created a mask for the moon using a circle punch. I sponged on some of Stampin' Up's Basic Grey, then Bashful Blue all around. Then I colored the snowman in using various Stampin' Up's Marvelous Markers. The edges I embossed with my new favorite toy, the ScoreBuddy which I ordered at a recent Convention.
More Christmas cards to follow, I am spacing them out over the next couple of days! Oh and PS sorry for the angle of the photos. I need to get down lower next time, but on the upside you are able to see the embossing!

Winter tags for a swap

So it has been a while since I posted some of my creations! Sorry I am such a slacker! Ok so I made these little cuties for my Tags, tags and more tags swap that I am hosting on my favorite Message Board. The papers are from a winter stack of printed papers. I cut all of the circles, and the pieces for the little guy's hat and noses, from scraps. The blue cardstock tags weren't from scraps, but I did cut the ovals from the scraps for the tags! Talk about using everything! LOL. I had to use two different papers since I had used the swirly paper for the Christmas in July Card fronts. I was pretty excited how they turned out!
I used the 3/4", 1 " and 1 1/8" circle punches, and the 3/4" square and 1" square punch for the hat. The little noses are cut freehand, so they may vary in size, but then again all carrots are not created equal!!! :)
