Snowy Hug Step Card

Hello crafty friends! Today there is a new challenge at Addicted to Stamps. The theme is

Frosty Friends (Snowmen)

To match the challenge theme, I have created a step card using Magnolia “Snowy Hug” stamp from Merry Little Christmas 2010 collection. I wanted the winter scene on the step side so I added snowy pine trees behind Tilda and snowman. I used EK Success punch and Doohickey die to cut out those trees. Then, I applied snow paste on the bottom of the card to create snow texture on the ground.

I decorated the snowy ground with snowflake confetti and some sequins.

On the left hand side, I added a sentiment from LOTV stamp and heat embossed the text with white embossing powder. Then, I decorated with die cuts from Doohickey Vol 12 (Snowman), Vol 7 (Icicle), and snowflake.

I colored the stamped image with distress ink. I also added Wink of Stella Clear Glitter pen to created frosty effect on snowman.

I would like to enter this card to these challenges.

Here is my card featuring this new stamp.

I think this new release collection is perfect for pastel colors. So I used mint-peach color combo for this card. To get soft and sweet image coloring, I colored the stamped image with color pencils that I just recently practiced using them. The flags and alphabets die cuts are from Magnolia and Die-Versions. I finally added some ribbons and sequins to finish this CAS card.

Today we are showcasing January New Release Day 1 image. This stamped is called “Florish”.

I have colored the image with distress ink and created a sweet pastel card. The card base is from Magnolia pop up box. Patterned paper is from Maja Design. I decorated the card with die cuts Doohickey, Cheery Lynn Design, and Spellbinders. I have also added paper flowers right below her watering can to make it looks like she is watering those flowers.

The ‘With Love’ tag was cut and embossed using Tonic Studios die.

Sparkle New Year

Happy New Year everyone! I wish you all a happy crafty year with lots of energy and creativity.

Let’s begin this year with the new challenge at Magnolia Forever. This year we have changed our challenge into a monthly basis with more sponsors for each challenge. The theme for this month challenge is

Celebrate

Since I’m in the mood for New Year celebration, I’ve created a sparkle double-star shaped card using two Magnolia stamps. They are “Tilda with Holiday Sweater” and “Singing Napoleon” stamps from Aspen Holidays 2016 collection. To create a mood for celebration party, I’ve hand-drawn a party hat for Tilda so that it looks like she is having fun with her cat. The Star shape is from Little B dies and star trellis die cut is from Doohickey Box Vol 10.

The banner is also from Magnolia Doohickey. The sentiment is from LDRS. They are currently having a huge bargain including this sentiment stamp set.

Close up for Tilda and Napoleon. I’ve colored them with distress ink.

I would like to enter this card to these challenges.
