Challenge # 194 We Love Snowmen at FCCB

Hi! everyone. I love snowmen but where I live this card is the closest I will come to making a snowman. I made my snowman traditional, with a top hat and buttons as well as a carrot for his nose and coal (black pearls) for his eyes.  I cut my snowman from Doodlecharms at 3".

The paper I used is Recollections Holly Day Wishes 6x6 pad and Kraft paper for the base. I cut the first layer of the snowman  in Kraft so his arms would look like branches. The second layer is cut from white card stock and I glittered it using Martha Stewart glitter.  Before I put the layers together I attached the little blue button brads. For his scarf I tied a piece of red gingham ribbon around his neck and frayed the edges.  The hat is cut from Paper Doll Dress Up. I used black Glossy Accents for the band and adhered a tiny snowflake. I added a small blue gemstone for some bling. I think all the additions really spruced him up otherwise he was pretty boring. 

The banner is made using a Christmas stamp set from Cosmo Cricket. I stamped it on white cardstock and then colored it with markers. I cut each of the flags out and glued them to a piece of twine and attached with brads. The Let it Snow tag is from the paper collection. I attached it with another red brad.

This week our sponsor is Jaded Blossom. They will be giving away a stamp set to our lucky winner so make a snowman and link up to our chaleenge at FCCB.

Hope my snowman has inspired you as well as the DT snowmen.  There are a lot of variety using different cartridges and snowmen cuts. So check out our blog.

Bye, Bye for Now

Fall Party at The Shabby Tea Room

Hi everyone hope your having time to craft today. I have made a challenge card for The Shabby Tea Room "Fall Party". Requirements for this challenge: banner, fall theme, yellow and orange and a cupke/cake.  I believe I met all these requirements in my Fall card.

I used a Halloween stack from My Mind's Eye for my papers. The base and second layer are kraft paper. I made the banner and strung it on some matching twine and brads. I punched a yellow circle and used brown glitter stickers for FALL.  The cupcakes were stamped using a .49 cent stamp from Tuesday Morning which I colored with Inkadinkadoo watercolor markers and a water brush. I like the cupcake toppers, an acorn and a pumpkin. The label and harlequin banners are cut outs from the paper pad.  I used Tim Holtz Vintage Photo to distress ink all the edges.

Join this fun challenge at The Shabby Tea Room.

Bye, Bye for Now
