Merry Christmas Snow Buddy - Paper Craft Crew Challenge #16

Well, I made another snowman card, this time using the other image from the Snow Much Fun stamp set.  This card was made  using the sketch challenge with PCCSC 16 here
One thing I learned today.  Never make a card and try to bake shortbread cookies at the same time.  You guessed it!  My cookies burned - not enough to ruin the taste, but enough that I can't use them for company.
My card turned out okay.  Here it is:

 

Stamps:  Snow Much Fun, Petite Pairs

Inks: Black Stazon, SU Markers

Papers: Real Red, Whisper White, Snow Festival DSP, Silver Glitter, Gumball Green

Accessories: Scallop border punch, Square Lattice embossing folder, Circle die #2, Mat pack & Paper Piercer, Word Window punch, Modern Word Label punch, Vintage faceted buttons, glue dots, small circle punch.

The image was stamped onto Whisper White cardstock die cut with the Circle die #2 and was then colored with markers.  Before mounting it onto a Red circle, the mat pack & paper piercer was used to pierce holes all the way around the circle.

The base card is Real Red layered with Whisper White and then strips of DSP and Gumball Green card stock, the latter of which was embossed with the Square lattice folder.  The Gumball Green cardstock was mounted onto silver glitter paper, which was edged with a strip of scalloped Real Red cardstock.

The embellishments used were faceted vintage buttons underneath which were placed a small circle of silver glitter paper - so they showed off a bit better.

Bordering on Romance Birthday Wishes - Create with Connie & Mary NC2

Hope this post is finding you all well as the weather has been so hot here, and so dramatic elsewhere.  I hope no one is in the path of the wildfire in Colorado, or the tremendous storms in the East.
This card is based on the sketch by Create with Connie & Mary here

The focal image was colored with watercolor crayons and an aqua painter.  The edges of the circle were pricked with a paper piecer and mat pack.

Jolly - Try Stampin' on Tuesday #38

Brrrrr!! There was a heavy frost on the ground this morning and for the first time I had to scrape ice off my car window.  Halloween is tomorrow, and then the Christmas season goes into full swing.
For Try Stampin' on Tuesday  here I made another Christmas card.

I used the Letters to Santa designer paper to provide a background for the images.  It was double embossed using the Starburst embossing folder and Iridescent Ice embossing powder.
