SNOWMAN CARD

Hi everyone! It is yet another day of blowing and drifting snow and subzero temperatures here in Northern Indiana. Church was cancelled today and school is already cancelled for tomorrow and it sure is not looking good that the kids will have school again on Tuesday (they didn't have school last Thursday or Friday). My daughter Johnna and I have been having fun creating in my craft room together. Today I have a cute snowman card to share with you that I created using Taylored Expressions The Cool Crowd stamp set, Taylored Expressions Make a Snowflake Die, and Want2Scrap® Rhinestones in Pink and Silver/Clear.

Hopefully, the weather is better in your neck of the woods! Have a good day and stay warm!

Supplies:

Paper: Little Yellow Bicycle - Ski Sweater; Cryogen White Paper; Bazzill
Stamps: Taylored Expressions – The Cool Crowd

WINTER HOME . . . WITH WANT2SCRAP

Last week we received over a foot of snow, waist deep snow drifts and wind chills of 40 below zero! How has your weather been?

Today I am sharing a card in which I created a winter scene using Nina Brackett's cardstock shapes from Want2Scrap. With a sponge I added DecoArt® Metallic Lustre - Iced Espresso to one of the houses from Houses by Nina Brackett - Card Sized, DecoArt® Metallic Lustre - Gold Rush to one of the fences from Fences by Nina Brackett - Card Sized, and DecoArt® Dazzling Metallics - Peacock Pearl on several clouds from Clouds by Nina Brackett - Card Sized.

The 6" x 6" card base is created with cardstock from the Tradition Collection from Authentique and the Noland Paper Pad from Farm House Paper Company. I then adhered the House by Nina Brackett - Card Sized to the card front and with Art Glitter Designer Dries Clear Adhesive I adhered Polar White Flower Soft to the rooftop. With Forest Moss Distress Ink I stamped the trees from Heartfelt Creations HCPC 3432 - Magnificent Spruce Trees on the card and then with Dries Clear Adhesive I added Art Glitter Ultratransparent Glitter - Crystal to the trees. Then with small pop dots I added the Fence by Nina Brackett - Card Sized in front of the stamped trees. I added the Clouds by Nina Brackett - Card Sized above the scene with pop dots. Finally, beneath the House and Fence I added Polar White Flower Soft on the ground to complete the snowy scene.
