A Snowy Hello

 Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are all doing well and, if it's cold in your area, staying nice and warm!

Today I am sharing a super cute Hello friendship themed card that I created using a new clear stamp set from Ink N Splatter titled, Sporty Penguins.

I started by creating my card base from some white cardstock and then covering it with some fun patterned paper from Doodlebug Design. I used a scallop rectangle die to die cut my white glitter paper and attached it to the front of my card. To build my background scene, I used a stitched rectangle die to cut a piece of blue patterned paper from the Twinkle Berry Winter 6x6 paper pad to act as my sky and added a dark gray house, that I also die cut. I used some white cardstock and more stitched dies to create my snowy hills. I adhered one of the hills in front of the house, stamped my sentiment on the smaller hill and then popped it up with some foam tape. I colored those sweet little penguins from the Sporty Penguins stamp set with my copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Once I had them cut out, I placed them onto my scene, added some light purple thread and added my scene panel to the white glitter scallop rectangle. I completed my card with some snowflake sequins and a few Nuvo drops. Don't they look like they are having fun? So cute!

My daughter recently got engaged and I wanted to make her a card to congratulate her.

I love the colors in the photo from The Card Concept and these little flamingos were just perfect for my card! I started by creating an A2 card base from some white cardstock and layering a light pink scallop rectangle on top. I cut some patterned paper, along with a small strip of black glitter paper, and added  that to my card front. I stamped my flamingos with some black ink and colored them with my Copic markers before running them through my Scan N Cut to cut them out. Once they were cut out, I glued them onto a light pink die cut heart and popped it up onto my card with some foam tape. I stamped the sentiment, notched each end and used more foam tape to adhere it to my card. I completed my card with some black enamel dots and a fun black and white polka dot bow.

Snowman Friendship Card

 Hi crafty friends!

I hope the new year has been good to you so far!

Today I am sharing a sweet friendship card that I created using a new clear stamp set from

 Ink N Splatter titled, Snowbird Snowman.

How cute is that little snowman hanging out with his little birdie friend?? So cute!!

My card was pretty simple to make. I started with a white A2 card base and used a stitched rectangle die to cut out a piece of pretty blue patterned paper from the Twinkle Berry Winter 6x6 Paper Pad and adhered that to the front. I used the same stitched rectangle to cut a piece of light pink patterned paper, also from the Twinkle Berry Winter Paper Pad, trimmed it down and added that on top of the blue. I die cut some scallops from some white cardstock using a die from Jaded Blossom and placed them above and below my pink panel. I stamped that adorable little snowman from the Snowbird Snowman stamp set and colored him with my Copic markers. Once I had him colored, I used the coordinating craft die to cut him out. I stamped my greeting onto a piece of white cardstock, used a label die to cut it out and  popped up my greeting and snowman with some foam tape. I added a few snowflakes, some white Nuvo drops and some white doodles to complete my card.

Copic Colors Used:

--Bird & Blanket: R83, R85, B91, B93, R20, YR14--

--Snowman: YR14, B0000, B000, R00, R20--

Winter Wonderland Wishes

Hi friends!
Happy Happy 2022!!!!

I hope this new year brings you all health & happiness!!

Since it is the first of the month, it is time for a new challenge at 

The Four Seasons Challenge blog!! Yay!!

Here is a look at the photo inspiration for this month: 

The picture is for inspirational purposes so if the picture doesn't strike your fancy, you can enter a WINTER themed project. The picture is purely optional.

Here is a look at the card that I created:

I loved all the snow in the inspiration photo so I decided to create my own little scene on a mini slimline style card. I even managed to use a couple of different stamp sets that I have had for awhile and never used! Yay me! One of my goals this year is to buy less and use more of what I have, or at least try to haha! 

I started my card by creating my mini slimline from some white cardstock and covering it with some diagonal striped patterned paper. I die cut a white scalloped rectangle and adhered that to my card front and added some snowy patterned paper on top. I stamped my little snowman, masked him off, and then stamped my background scene onto a piece of copic friendly cardstock. Once I had it colored, I stamped my greeting along the bottom and fussy cut around the trees and snow drift so that I could pop up my scene with some foam tape onto the front of the card. I completed my card by adding some Frosted Lace Stickles to the snow in front of the houses and a few random White Nuvo Drops to add a little more visual interest for the snowy scene.

Copic Colors Used:

--Trees: YG03, YG05, YG61, YG63, G94, G46, E25--

--Houses: E23, E25, E49, N3, N5, Y11--
