Snow Alert!

Scared you, didn't I? Nope, no snowfall here - just more typical fall temps after last week's heatwave! I'm playing along at Christmas Kickstart Challenge #103 where Jo and elf Loll would like to see snowy cards. Here's my take using a bunch of dies:


Supplies: Paper - Recollections A2 card & glitter cardstock;
Neenah Solar White; Paper Studio assorted cardstock; scraps
Dies - Lawn Fawn Build-A-Snowman &
Other - foam tape; white gel pen; 
Hero Arts white iridescent shimmer spray

I went to my Lawn Fawn box looking for the snowflake frame. Found it, plus the snowpeople set that I bought when it came out a few years ago but hadn't used yet. I decided to combine the two. First I sprayed a shimmery A2 card with a white shimmer spray, then set aside to dry. Next, I die cut the frame and all the snowpeople pieces, then assembled. Added a stitched hillside behind the frame & added the frame to the card. Tucked the snowpeople into the snowbanks & added a die cut sentiment from the bits box. Doodled some details with a white gel pen - done!

Aren't those snowpeople the cutest??!! Since my snowpeople are newly used, this card will also go to Darnell's October NBUS Challenge #79.

Next I have another Christmas card using pieces I made during the Tim Holtz STAMPtember Festive Workshop. I was inspired by last week's SSS Wednesday Challenge (closed) to think pink which worked with how I'd colored my TH poinsettias.


Supplies: Paper - Bazzill A2 card;
Spellbinders Oh What Fun patterned;
TH Distress Watercolor & gold kraft metallic;
Recollections glitter cardstock
Stamps with dies - Tim Holtz Festive Watercolor Bundle (sold out)
Dies - Simon Says Stamp Festive Words Dies (sold out)
Other - foam tape; SSS Starshine dots;

The scalloped card was pre-made from Bazzill (hoarded in the stash). I added a piece of patterned paper on the card's inside & then put a trimmed down sentiment panel from Taylored Expressions in the center. The scalloped portion is the card front.

Arranged my flowers & foliage on the card, then added the sentiment and dots. Sorry, the metallic card stock is hard to photograph, plus it took on some shimmer from the glitter cardstock.

I will share this card in the gallery HERE for anything made for the Tim Holtz Festive Workshop event.

That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by & have a crafty day!!
