Snowman Roundabout

 Hello, my friends. Happy Monday. I hope you all have a great week. We are supposed to get some severe weather tomorrow so I hope we all stay safe. I hear that it is moving across the states. 

I have some cards to share today. These are from a card kit swap that I belong to on Splitcoast Stampers. There are six of us in the group and each month is assigned to one of the members which means we each have two months out of the year (one in each half). For our month we get to choose the theme we want and then the five other members send that person a card kit for that theme. The kit includes images and sometimes sentiments, designer paper, and all kinds of embellishments that they want to include. It's always exciting to see what is in your kit. These cards are from my second month last year which was in October. My theme was Christmas. These did not get done in time to use them for my Christmas cards last year so they'll get put away for my cards for 2023. 

This card was from a kit sent by Terry (terry serman). She sent a bunch of images and fun ribbons and other embellishments. I only made one card so far, so I have tons more stuff to play with. 

The image is from Newton's Nook and the designer paper is from Stampin Up Penguin Playmates. It goes so well with the images. I used SU Tranquil Tide for the card base and the mat. I also used some tiny snowflakes around the circle sentiment. I colored the image with Copics - B63; BG53, BG57; G21; N6; R17; YR02.

I'll be back with a few more cards.

You Warm My Heart - CCC Monthly Challenge

 Hello my friends. I hope you are all doing well this January weekend. I hope the weather is not so bad where you are. We are having a kind of rainy day with cool temps. I am so looking forward to spring. It can't come soon enough for me, but we still have to get through February and we have had hard freezes during February over the last two years. I'm hoping that we can break that cycle this year. We already had a pretty hard freeze over Christmas.

I have a card to share with you today. This is for the Splitcoast Stampers Creative Card Chicks Monthly Challenge. This month we were only given a theme to work with, no kit as we usually do. Our hostess this month was Debby (littledeb). Her challenge was to make a card using a snowman as the image. We were also supposed to use blues and purples and snowflakes. I got the blues okay, but missed the purples. Oh well. I think I did pretty good.

Materials Used:

  • Image - Inky Antics - Warm and Wonderful Snowmen
  • Sentiment - Same
  • Card Stock - Slimline base; Xpress It Blending Card foraA images
  • Designer Paper - Whimsy Stamps - Frozen
  • Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black
  • Accessories  - Recollections - Snowflakes, bling
  • Copic Markers - B0000; C0; G21; E23; N6; R27, R39; YR02, YR04

That's it for today.
