It’s inevitable where I live though! We had a few flakes earlier in the week! I’ll just stay in and stamp! haha! The challenge for our stamp club swap was to create a Christmas card with non-traditional colors. I made a flakey Christmas card! I love the new Mittens dies from CC Designs Cutters! They are so cute and love the embossing on them too! I used a Hero Arts Holiday Background
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Weekend to you!
Don’t you love cute, cute snowmen with awesome names?! Four delightful new snowpeople from CC Designs Sweet November line, illustrated by Amy Young, in the store HERE. Chill E. Pinebough is in for a freezin’ good time on this tag!
Snowman Wish U. Goodcheer is telling us to sparkle! Both tags have sentiments on them from the new Amy R Stamps Snowman Sayings set. So FUN! The November release is in the store HERE!
Here’s what I did…
I stamped the snowpeople with Spun Sugar Distress ink on this kraft card-stock.
I shook up the Picket Fence Distress Stain real good, then dabbed it on in the areas you want to be white.
After the white distress stain was dry, I inked up the snowman with Versafine Onyx black ink and with my stamp a ma jig, I stamped over the image again.
OK, I cheated on Chill E.’s stocking cap, I painted the stain on those stripes.
The rest is color pencil.
For Wish U.’s hat and scarf, I stamped on another piece of kraft, cut them out and glued them on top, then colored with color pencils.
Tombow Mono Multi glue to hold the vintage glass shard glitter on.
Twig Distress ink on the edges of the tag, applied with the ink blending tool…then Picket Fence Distress Stain dabbed on.
Martha Stewart snowflake punch. The ribbon is probably May Arts or American Crafts.
Click over to the ATS blog HERE, to see the other two snowpeople…Adorn D. Yard and Dazzle M. Nightly. Don’t you just love the names… I know… I already said that! Link up for a chance to win too!

Birgitta is back and waving hello! Oh, she’s a doll and so fun to color! love her outfit and cute shoes! I stamped her with Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Paper Trey Ink select white card-stock and colored her with Copic Sketch markers. A combo of reds and warm grays to get the color to match the flowers on this pattern paper. I colored R22 then W2 over the top of that… then R24 and W3 over the top…then E07 and some W5, 7 and 9 for shadows…might be able to skip the R22 and W2 but since I started out that way, I just kept doing all the red that way. Her hair is E30 first, then E31, then E23, 25 and 27. To get the cream color, I started with E50 then Y23, then Y21 (because Y23 is lighter than Y21) and then a little Y26.
CC Designs Swiss Pixies Hello Birgitta is NEW for November! ‘Tis the Season and warm Winter wishes are too! Both sentiments are from the NEW Snowman Sayings set… a must have! In the store HERE. Click on over to the ATS blog to see what the other ATS DT gals created… a fabulous post again today! A chance to win stamps each day of the previews too! I started writing the Preview and Review posts for All That Scraps in July. If you wonder why I disappear now and then, it’s because I’m up to my ears in composing posts. I love it though! I’m honored to work for them and I hope you enjoy them too!
The ribbon I used is from May Arts and the pattern paper is a new line called Simple Stories. This 6×6 pad is named Generations. It’s very cool! The tree square and the frame…all in the pad!
I’m linking my Hello Birgitta Christmas card to the Christmas Inspirations Challenge Blog…the theme is Bows.

Only the first of November and this cute snowman has already lost a mitten! I did find with the girls in their growing up years that when it was time to go outside we needed lots of mittens and we were glad we had radiators/hot water heat. They always had mittens laying on them drying! I made a front panel step card and used CC Designs Cutters dottie trim and clouds dies for snow! I LOVE it! I was inspired to use the clouds for snow by this card that Jay Jay created, it’s on her blog HERE. Then the adorable NEW Mittens die to go with the adorable NEW snowman! It embosses the lines too! I filled them in with white pen. Hero Arts little clear gems here and there just add so much!
oh Yes, were just going to ask about the sentiments? They are NEW this month too! Snowman Sayings! You will want them… I can here you groaning… lol! Pure Winter FUN!
I had to use the new Tim Holtz mini tree die…it’s a great size! whoo hoo! Cosmo Cricket 6×6 Winter pad from last year… is it called Mitten Weather? I edged a some of the pieces with the new Twig Distress ink from the Fall Limited Edition set in the store HERE.
I’m linking to the Crafter’s Companion Challenge blog – let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! Linking to the Cupcake Craftroom Challenge blog – Sweet Christmas… mine is “sweet” Christmas snowman! : )
