Two Snowmen are Better Than One

Especially if they are as cute as the two snowmen in the Snow Much Fun set! I was going through my photo files and cannot believe that I forgot to share these two cards back in December?! (Wonder what else I had going???) Everything but the DSP is still current and since many of you are smart and make your Christmas cards all year instead of waiting until the last minute like some people (me!) I thought I'd still share them today.

Here's another version using the same supplies & layout, just instead of the embossed Designer Frame I used  the Window Framelit for my image.

Colors used are: Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue & Island Indigo.

It looks like a good day to go out and build a snowman here in Michigan. It's sunny, not too cold and there's several inches of fresh, fluffy snow on the ground. Hmmmm....maybe I'll just stay indoors and stamp instead! Whatever you are up to...enjoy your day!

Snow Much Fun Luminary Easel Card

While browsing the SCS gallery one day I came across this beautiful card and thought it was such a fantastic idea to create a luminary from an easel card...so of course I had to try one!

I love the sparkly snowflake cut from Silver Glimmer Paper using the Snow Flurry Bigz Die! I colored a Basic Rhinestone with a sharpie marker to coordinate with the Gumball Green Stitched Satin Ribbon. I got my color combo of Baja Breeze, Gumball Green, Cherry Cobbler & Primrose Petals from the cute Snow Festival DSP. I used those color markers to color the cute snowman image which is embossed using Silver EP on Cardstock Vellum. The snowflakes from Snow Swirled were stamped using White Craft Ink. The "Warm Winter Wishes" sentiment is from my retired Snowflakes set. Here's a look at what they look like lit with a flameless candle.

Snow Much Fun Artisan Entry

Here is the first of my two 3-D projects I had to submit for the Artisan Award Contest.

I ended up working on both of my 3-D projects last because I just couldn't decide what to make. I created a Halloween luminary a while back that was completely my design using chipboard coasters, so I thought I'd create another version for Chrismas using the Snow Much Fun set. Here's a closer look.

The coasters are covered in Shimmery White card stock, so along with all the rhinestones, silver embossing and Brushed Silver card stock this had a lot of sparkle & shine. I embossed and stamped a small design all the way around too...

Here's what it looked like lit by the battery operated candle.

I thought it turned out cute, but I knew going in that the 3-D catagory was going to be my weakest, since I don't sew. Some of the other non-winning entries I've seen so far are spectacular...makes me wonder what the winning entries looked like?

With the heat we've been experiencing around the country this week, I'll bet this snowman probably looks really good! Have a great weekend!

Tall, Dark & Handsome

Well, I guess two out of three aint bad!

Another creation using the Snow Much Fun set along with the Northern Flurry Embossing Folder. The Shimmery White Card stock adds a nice sparkle and is so nice to watercolor on.

Cutest Little Snowman

I don't even want to be thinking about snow right now, but I couldn't resist inking up the super cute new set Snow Much Fun. I couldn't wait to pair it up with the Northern Flurry Embossing Folder for a simple one layer card that would be easy to duplicate for making multiple Christmas cards.

Tied to the center of the bow is one of the Mini Jingle Bells...which is just one of the new accessories that will be available in the upcoming Holiday Mini Catalog.
