Feels Like Frost

The mountains are covered with snow and it looks like a winter wonderland out my window.  Of course the snow didn't make it down to the valley floor so I'm happy.  I love that most of the snow stays in the upper elevations.

The December challenge for the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown Challenge was to use any challenge from 2019.  I chose challenge Sketch 52cct-February 2019.  You'll find the links below.

WWC176 - Kath's "All About Christmas" Challenge

This week Kath is hosting our "All About Christmas" challenge at the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  My card today is a very simple snowflake card with a big sentiment.  The snowflakes actually sparkle but it just never shows up in a photograph.  The tiny circles were left the die-cut snowflakes and I wanted to add a spot more of the dark blue.  They were perfect for the snowflake centers and around the card front.  I daubed them using the Blue Corn ink from Taylored Expressions.

Stamp Set:  Merry Christmas (Co-Motion Stamps)

Ink:  Blue Corn (Taylored Expressions)

Cardstock:  Sugar Cube (Taylored Expressions), Glitter Paper - snowflakes (Stampin' Up!)

Patterned Paper:  Playful Patterns - Holiday (Taylored Expressions)

Dies:  Seasonal layers Thinlits Dies (Stampin' Up!)

Other:  Clear Wink of Stella Brush

To You and Yours

This will be my last post for 2016 as I will be spending Christmas with my family.  I wanted to take this opportunity to wish all of you the happiest of holidays and I will see you again in January 2017!

Glimmer Christmas

I wanted to do a black and white Christmas card and when I came across these cards that had already been cut but not stamped, they would work well for what I had in mind.  I love sparkly so I added some red and silver Glimmer Paper.  Since I'm gearing up for another craft show this Saturday, I'm keeping my posts short this week.  I've got a lot of projects to complete and just found two new ones to add to the mix.  The fun never stops!  Those of you who are local, I hope to see you on Saturday.  Go to the Events tab above to find out time and place.  Hope to see you there!

Stamp Sets:  Christmas Lodge, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Itty Bitty Backgrounds (retired); Ink:  Whisper White Craft; Card Stock:  Basic Black, Whisper White, Glimmer Paper/Red, Glimmer Paper/Silver; Accessories & Tools:  Modern Label Punch, Word Window Punch

I love the snowy background.  It reminds me of so many nights when I'd go for a walk during a snowfall.  It's quiet, peaceful and simply beautiful.
