Another Snowman Card

Hello Crafty Friends!!!

Happy Sunday! I am popping in with another card for some challenges.

The challenges that inspired this card are The Sketch n' Scrap Challenge and I used the sketch #238 for my card. I also was inspired by The Color Throwdown #839 and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge-Stitch it.

The "stitches" are created using a Spellbinders Winter Borders die set. I used the colors in a lighter shade of aqua on my card instead of the dark color.

The pattern paper is Penny Black's Festive & Frosty Pad. The embossed background I created using Spellbinders Seaside Cardstock and a Simon Says Stamp! Snowflake Visions embossing folder. I then brushed some Hero Arts Unicorn White Ink over the top.

The snowman is the Village Snowman die from Simon Says Stamp. The polka dot pattern paper is from my stash and I die cut it using a Pinkfresh Studio die set. 

That is all from me. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!

Let It Snow Card

 Hey Friends!!

Just popping in with a card that I created for a couple of challenges. This is my last weekend of freedom as school starts this week and I have to start on Monday. I don't want to go back to work!!! I enjoyed my time off this summer not doing much-including all the cleaning I planned to do.

My card was inspired by TWO challenges. I had to play with this weeks Freshly Made Sketches #700. Can you believe they have been around for FOURTEEN years? I love sketches and am so happy that they are still posting new ones after all this time. I did not want to create a square card so I decided to make an A2 size. My snowman replaces the center square.

The other challenge that inspired me was this weeks  The Color Throwdown #839.

I dug through my stash and pulled out some things that I never used. I dug out the Simon Says Stamp Village Snowman dies for my central image. 

The embossed background I created using Seaside Cardstock from Spellbinders and the Snowflake Visions Embossing folder from Simon Says Stamp. I then used some Hero Arts Unicorn Ink and Pinkfresh Studio  Aquamarine over the top with a light hand. Before I adhered the panel to a white card base, I distressed the edges.

The squares were die cut from paper scraps. I added some snowflakes from my stash. I am ADDICTED to snowflake dies and I probably have about 15 different sets. Some contain multiple types of snowflakes in style and size, and others only contain one snowflake die. Are anyone else obsessed with snowflake dies?

My sentiment is from the Christmas 2023 Tim Holtz Sticker Set. I added it using foam adhesive. The last thing I did was add Deco Art Snow-Tex to my snowman. I LOVE how this came out!!

That is all from me. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!
