Lawn Fawn Bunny on a Sled

I made this card for Craft Roulette #316. Parameters: Project- Hello card. Colors-strawberry fields. Element-Hop(s) hopping. Random-large letters. 

The background was created by distress ink. I made some hills with a stencil and distress oxide and Versa Magic chalk ink. The letter dies are by Sizzix (665335). I cut them out of Color-aid paper and stamped them with small snowflakes by Lawn Fawn with a Versa Magic ink. 

The bunny is by Lawn Fawn, houses border by Stampendous, and winter is a stamp from another Stampendous stamp set. I colored the images with Copic markers. The bunny is on a foam sled. 🛷

Snowflake frame card

1. 
   

  The snowflake frame is by Memory Box. The patterned paper and label are so old that I don’t remember. I did apply distress Stickles on the leaves but you it’s hard to tell in the pictures. Distress Stickles are not sparkly.

I saved a Copic Background with Snowflakes

My background is the result of checking my blue Copic markers. I decided there was no reason not to use it and heat embossed a snowflake background stamp with silver powder. I colored in a few of the snowflakes to give them more recognition. The sentiment is a die by Spellbinders. Thanks for looking. HAGD!

Peace, Love and Joy Big card

This card is from Craft Roulette #244.

 The parameters were:

Project-Joy fold

Color-Bold/cold

Element-family 

Random-ribbon 

The gold paper, letter dies and the white die cut layered at the bottom of the cluster are from Sizzix. The embossing folder is by Gina Marie. The die cut that the ampersand sign is on is by Creative Expression. There’s Rick Rack on the left side of the card on top of a snowflake background stamp that I heat embossed in green embossing powder.  The joy tags on the right are sewn up there with not twine, but like hemp ribbon. 

It’s a very heavy card. I would probably have to add extra postage. Thanks for looking.

Clean and Simple Snow cards

This is a clean and simple card. I dry embossed the blue cardstock with a Fiskars texture plates. Then I die cut the snowflakes out of white glitter paper. Thanks for looking. HAGD! 

4 Snow Globe Shaker Christmas Cards

The snow globe die cuts were cards that I cut apart. They came to me in the stash of the older woman that I was lucky enough to receive her Christmas card making supplies after she had to go to a nursing home. 

The background of this card was made with distress ink and water and maybe some kind of spray/spritz. I dry embossed the red part with a Cuttlebug embossing folder and in an effort to make it look brown I continued to add distress oxide to it. Meh. The sentiment stamp is by Inkadinkado. 

For this card, my background paper is by Carte Bella.  The sentiment is by Inkadinkado. The scene is made up of stamps from Stampendous.

Manly Monday Snowmen in a bucket

I have this card with the same image

Snowmen in a bucket 2022

This reminds me of the “boys” in the hot-tub on Tuesdays for what my husband calls “Hot Tub Tuesday “. Anyway,

I colored the Stampin Up snowmen stamp with Copic markers. That’s all I know about on this one. I did mess up the back side with a stupid ink spot. So I stamped the backside with the snowflake stamp. (Thanks for stopping by and looking at my layout.

So, according to the blogger website only 5-11 people visit my blog. Lol. Leave me a comment below so I can see who the 11 people are. Lol.  Thanks for looking.

January Calendar layout Grandpa Brian

Here we go with another year of Calendar layouts on Wednesday. This one was for my brother’s 2023 calendar. The blue background is the actual calendar base. February is pink. March is green. April is blue and so on. Sometimes I used the color instead of adding anything to it.

Anyway, I used some really old products for this layout. The snowflake paper circa 2005 and is by Colorbok. The large white snowflake on the right side was cut out with my Cricut. I have not touched my Cricut in well over a year.

The border at the bottom is a blue vellum by Creative Memories. The title on top is a Sunborn die cut and I can’t remember if the letters/words were in the circles or if I stamped them. I think that the letters are perfectly straight, so I’m going to say I didn’t stamp them.

Thanks for looking. 

Cricut Snow Globe Christmas Card

The snow globe is a Cricut draw and cut out of textured cardstock. I colored it in with colored pencils. The background stamp is by Stampin Up. The Merry Christmas is a rub-on. The smallest snowflakes are sequins by American Crafts. I added Stickles to the star and snowflake punch. Thanks for looking.

Snowman Merry Christmas Card

I know very little about this card because I bought the snowman and the sentiment stamps in a bundle without packaging. The patterned paper at the bottom was left from having a friend 4 years ago. I did die cut that paper and a piece of white glitter cardstock underneath it with an eBay die The small little snowflakes are sequins made by American crafts. thanks for looking 

Dream Big Olympic card for Chalk Ah Lot

 I finally finished my Chalk Ah Lot card with the new challenge and am ready to share it with you.

The challenge this fortnightly is to use an Olympic symbol to base your project on and include chalk. HERE is the Chalk Ah Lot post which includes a Wikipedia link talking about the different symbols associated with the Olympics. I found it really interesting. 

My card's primary symbol is the Olympic rings. I used circle punches to create the rings and then adhered them to my card front with temporary adhesive. The rings stayed in place as a mask while I covered the entire piece of Strathmore watercolor paper with Sky powdered chalk mixed with Stamp N Plus paint. I love that you don't have to use a fixative on this chalk because it doesn't come off of the project like normal chalks do. 

My secondary symbol is the red, white, and blue stripes for the US flag and then I chose to add the snowflakes for the Winter Games. I used a snowflake and sentiment stamps by Stamp N Plus for my card with Colorbox pigment ink. You can find other snowflake stamps by Stamp N Plus HERE. If you prefer this one in my card you would need to call Luann to order it at 715-271-1873. The sentiment is one of a set that would also need to be ordered via phone. I'll include the rest of the set at the bottom. The patterned paper is by Basic Grey and the letter stickers are by K and Co. 

Christmas Cards all year Round monthly challenge

A new monthly challenge at Christmas Cards all year Round. It is quite simple to play at this lovely blog. All you need to do is make five Christmas cards using this months theme (they can be five of the same cards or five different as long as they follow the theme) and link them up to Mr Linky for your chance to win a wonderful prize. The following is this months theme/challenge: 

July Challenge 

With summer weddings coming up, white should be a main "colour" and then we'lll need some bling - gems, plearls, glitter, etc. Added challenge for fun - Flower(s) of some kind too!!! 


And these are my examples:

The silver paper is actually glitter paper and then there are rhinestones in the center of the those snowflakes)

(There is sparkle on the middle sticker and the ribbon too)

(hard to see but my sparkle is on the white die cuts. I sprayed them with Perfect Pearls and water. Can you also see the tulle that I used just under the green paper? I cut it using the Cuttlebug and a Spellbinders die.)

(The hats on these snowmen are "colored" in using Stickles and the fiber is also sparkly)

So I hope to see you join in on this months challenge. Check out the other DT members examples for inspiration on the CCAYR blog.

Join the group and write on the wall or send me a message that you would like a freebie. And poof just like that I can get you one. I have been trying like crazy to get people over there to play but have been getting the sound of crickets at night instead. So if you are not a member at SNR it is worth the sign up. If you are worried that you will get a bunch of emails from joining you can set your settings so you don't receive any emails from them. Basically

Best wishes for a happy holiday weekend. My husband was diagnosed with pneumonia this morning. Poor thing is not doing well. So any prayers that he's able to fight it off with antibiotics at home would be really appreciated.
