Snow Business

Here's my version of the punch snowman who appears to be looking up at the sky.  The card base is Baja Breeze again with Naturals White.  This was an easy card to make and has quite an effect.

Snowy Day

They're predicting more snow in the area the next couple of days so I made another snowy card with Baja Breeze and Naturals White featuring the snowman image from the Holiday Mini.

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Although our snow has all melted here, this little bunny is so cute that I just had to make a card with him.  He is from the stamp set Merry Crittermas and the saying is from Bright Christmas.  I thought the combination would make a nice "Thank You" card for after Christmas. 

The marina mist ribbon is woven through the slits created by the spiral punch.  The "snow" dots on the top and bottom of the baja breeze card base were made with the white gel pen.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you all!!!  I've created a page using My Digital Studio from Stampin' Up just for you!

Christmas ... revisited

Here is the Christmas card I gave my parents:

And here is my version of Angie's cocoa treat box as originally seen here:

I made 20 of these little guys using the advent calendar kit from Stampin' Up.  Inside each one was a packet of cocoa, marshmallows (a.k.a. "Freeze Dried Snowballs"), and a mini candy cane.  I think they turned out cute!



Christmas Greetings

I like how this turned out.  I love the little girl image from Greeting Card Kids!  I watercolored using Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke, Basic Gray, and Soft Suede.  The Christmas Collage makes a beautiful background on Always Artichoke.  I like the vintage look of this card!



Frosty's Visit

Frosty has come to visit via the Jolly Old St. Nick stamp set from the Holiday Mini Catalog.  I used Stampin' Write Markers to color in Frosty's image:  Basic Gray, Baja Breeze, Pumpkin Pie.  I used the Northern Flurry embossing folder and my Big Shot to get the snowflake image on the Baja Breeze cardstock.  As you can see, I had trouble deciding where to place Frosty so I have 2 versions of this card.  Which one do you like best?



Critter Raccoons

This layout is similar to the picture in the Holiday Mini for this stamp set.  It took me several tries but I think I finally achieved a good color combination for the little raccoons.  Once again I mounted the image on the embossed real red card.

Critter Beaver

Merry Crittermas once again with the beaver image featured today.  Isn't he a cute little fellow?!  I watercolored the image using the colored pencils and blender pen.  Another simple but cute critter card for Christmas!
