Snowy Greetings

 The Paper Girls have a snowflake challenge going on.  Here are my flakes:

The patterned paper is from my hoarded stash of DCWV Winter Wonder,  The silver snowflakes were cut with Lawn Fawn Mini Snowflakes die.  I'm also linking up with the Jingle Belles.  Thanks to their challenges throughout the year, I have plenty of cards to use this Christmas!

Blue (and White) Christmas

I am a paper hoarder.  There, I said it out loud.  What if I used it all?  Then what would I do?!?  I really do think this was, but I am trying to change.  I included some resin pieces as the embellishments, and highlighted the critters with some Wink of Stella, since the Believe was sparkly.  Here are some of my Winter Wonder and pearl papers, sacrificed for a couple of great challenges:

First up, Try Stampin' on Tuesday sketch challenge (with die cut option):

And the Jingle Belles Critter challenge.  Thanks to the Belles, I think I have most of my cards made for this Christmas!!

Christmas All Year 'Round

I am trying to make a few Christmas cards every week this year.  I hated that I sent some store bought cards last year. 

Love this Winter Wonder paper paired with the Lawn Fawn die cut and accented with three clear jewels.  Sharing this with Jingle Belles: Text Me and the Try Stampin' On Tuesday sketch challenge with the optional metal theme.  

Come play along with us Words 2 Craft By for our New Beginnings challenge through February 7!!

Lawn Fawn Bonus Sketch

It is Lawn Fawn week at the Operation Write Home Birthday Bash.

This is their Bonus Sketch:

Here is my interpretation:

DCWV Winter Wonder papers, SU! Bundle Up stamps, Cuttlebug embossing folder, Glossy Accents.

Had to include this one, too.  The irony of the bottom paper didn't escape me!!!!  Bundle Up paper, Bundle Up Stamp set...

  

OWH VCMP - Snowflakes But Not Christmas

Cindy;s Card Company is stop #3 on the Operation Write Home Virtual Card Making Party.  Her challenge is to make a card using snowflakes, but not a Christmas card. 

I am a paper hoarder.  Not all paper, just some super special ones.  For me, the Winter Wonder Stack is one of my favorites.  I love to look at the papers, pet them, dream about them.  But use them?  Cut them?  Perish the thought!!!

But this is the perfect project for them.  I used OWH Sketch #68.   The background paper has tiny purple snowflakes.  When I make another one, I won't make the middle strip as wide.  I think it is a bit out of proportion. 

Paper DCWV Winter Wonder Stack, the Thank You is a sticker from doodlebug design, snowflakes are Favorite Findings. 

Here is version #2 - narrower middle, and 1 embossed background with a snowflake folder.  I like it even better!
