If Kisses Were Snowflakes...

Hi friends!
 Happy February!

I hope you are all doing well!

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:

 How cute is that little snowman! He just makes me smile so much! I was inspired by the pop of red against the snow in the inspiration photo and this card just fell into place. I started by using some glittery texture paste and a snowflake stencil to create some background paper. While that was drying, I stamped my little snowman and colored him with my Copic markers. I stamped my sentiment onto a smaller piece of cardstock and lightly inked around the perimeter with some Stormy Sky Distress Ink. I adhered it to a piece of red patterned paper, that I die cut out using a postage frame die. I wrapped some thread around, tying it off with a bow, and added it to my snowflake background. I did some more inking around the perimeter before adding the entire panel to a white card base. I completed my card by adding my little snowman along with some snowflake sequins and Nuvo drops. I think it turned out so cute!!

Copics Used:

--Snowman: B0000, B000, YR14, YR16, E35, R20, R00--

 Hi friends!

I hope are having a fabulous day!
Today starts a new challenge over at the
  Addicted To Stamps & More Challenge Blog and it is...

Here is a look at the Christmas card that I created to share with you today:

I went a bit non-traditonal for my card and created one that was more on the pastel side. I recently purchased this stamp set from Clearly Besotted during Stamptember and since unicorns just scream pastel colors to me for some reason, I just went with it lol! I colored the scene with my Copic markers and used a circle die to cut it out. I fussy cut the unicorn and gift and popped them up onto the scene with some foam tape. I die cut a zig zag circle from some white cardstock and glued my scene on top of it. I created my card base from some lavender cardstock and added a strip of polka dotted paper.  I stamped my greeting onto some white cardstock and backed it with some silver glitter cardstock, added some purple thread and added it on top of my polka dot panel. I popped up my little scene with foam tape, added some glitter to the mountain, some shimmer to the rainbow and glossy accents to the ornaments and my card was finished. My photo taking skills are not capturing how much shimmer is on this card. It is so sparkly in person!

Copic Colors Used:

**Present/Mountain: BV000, BV01**

Let It Snow

 Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are all having a fabulous day!

Today I have a sweet little MemoryDex style card to share with you that I made for a crafty friend.

I started by creating my Dex card from some Bristol Smooth cardstock using a metal die from Heidi Swapp. I used some distress inks to create my night sky along with some water droplets. Next I created the snowy hills by using the same Dex die and then the stitched hillside borders from Lawn Fawn. I added a bit of glitter to the top edges and adhered them to my card. I die cut that adorable little cabin and some trees from the Shadow Box Moutain Add On set from Lawn Fawn and tucked them behind my top hill.  I stamped that adorable snowman along with a couple of those sweet little birds and colored them with my Copic markers. I used my Scan N Cut to cut them out and added them to my card front with some foam tape, after I stamped my greeting. I completed my scene by adding a bit more snow by using some snowflake sequins, Nuvo Drops and a white gel pen to get some different textures and interest. I also added a bit more glitter to the snowman's hat and some glossy accents to his little coal buttons. 

Copic Colors Used
--Birds: B41, B21, B23, W5--

--Snowman: B0000, B000, YR04, YR02, C7, C5, R20, R00--

Spring Blooms

Hi everyone!

I hope you are having a good day and staying healthy! 

I've been getting quite a bit of crafting done since we are staying home and I made a card for a few challenges. 

The challenges that I am entering are as follows:

**Crafty Gals Corner: #205 Use Flowers**

**The Sisterhood Of Crafters: Spring**

**The Paper Shelter: Flowers Of The Spring**

**Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes**

&

**Mojo Monday Sketch #534**

Here is a look at the card that I created for the above challenges:

I started my card by creating a A2 card base from some heavy weight white cardstock. I matted some fun patterned papers from Doodlebug designs onto a piece of light pink polka dot paper and added that piece to my card base. I created my fun little scene, colored it with my Copic markers and matted it with more of the polka dotted paper. I popped it up with some foam tape onto my card front for some dimension. I stamped my greeting, notched each end and popped it up with more foam tape. I completed my card by adding some white Nuvo drops to the flower centers and a bit of sparkle to the flowers in the tree. I bought this stamp collection back in September 2019 and never got around to using it and getting it inky until now! 

The above challenges were the perfect time to put it to use!!
