Twinkle Twinkle

Everything is green over at MelJen's challenge blog, so I decided to play along.  This is one of the of this week's freebies over at the MelJen's shop and you can grab it HERE!  I thought he'd make a great all occasion card.  Good for a Baby or anyone who loves to gaze at the Heavens.  Their challenge this week is Green so I added lots of it.  I coloured this little twinkle with prismas and then inked the edges of the image with some green ink, matted it to some cardstock from Stampin'Up and layered it on some fun paper from K & Company.  I printed the sentiment out on my computer, cut it up and inked each piece.  The  fringe ribbon and star brad are from Portafolia and I thought they were perfect for this card.  All of this is popped up on some textured cardstock from Stampin'Up.  I just love all the hues of green with the gentle touch of yellow.

No friend like a Snow Friend

My daughter helped me arrange this card.  I had a couple of snowmen left over from another project and didn't know what to do with them.  My daughter said "Mom, they should be holding hands".  So that's where this one all started.  I layered them on some textured cardstock from Stampin' Up and then used a EK Success border punch on the bottom.  I chose some fun papers from K & Company and used some Tim Holtz old paper distress ink around the edges of it.  My daughter while I was doing this was pulling out ribbon from my ribbon boxes and decided that the yellow would be perfect.  I added a couple cute tickets from Scribbles by Sandy (without the edges) and inked them just a bit.  Then I layered the materials all together and stitched the image cardstock to the card and some fun green star buttons on with some green embroidery thread.  The final touch was adding the green star to the middle of the snowmen.
I really enjoy crafting with my kids, they have some marvelous ideas!
I am entering this card in The Stamping Boutique's challenge - Winter/Holiday

Winter What?

Winter What?  That's what I think a cat would say if he looked out through his window and saw snow coming down.  I've created this card for Digi My World's challenge Winter Wonderland.  I just love little Oliver and thought he'd need a scarf for this one!  I framed the card as if he were looking out and the patterned paper is to make it look kinda like the reflection in the glass of lots of snow falling.  I made a tree and used a flourish stamp to add boughs to it then added some glitter to the edges of the boughs to give it a snow look.  I added some fun foam snowflakes a friend gave me with some rhinestones.  Then to finish it off I thought that the sentiment from Scribbles By Sandy was fitting.  Do you feel like Oliver when you see the snow falling?  If so, curl up in a chair and watch it from inside!!!
