Snowman Snowball!

Happy Saturday!
Today I wanted to share with you a card I made using the super cute Snowman Snowball! I just love how the Snowmen are all part of the big snowball and look like they are having a blast! I can just picture them barrelling down the hill arms and heads going everywhere LOL!
I'm using paper from the Echo Park The Story of Christmas 6x6 collection today. I've added my favourite thing.....you guessed it Clear Glitter Wink of Stella to each of the Snowmen! The sentiment is from High Hopes Stamps (Lora's other store) and is called "Dot Warm Winter Wishes". A few red YNS gumdrops, some twine and a really cute Snowman charm finish everything off.
On the inside the High Hopes sentiment is called "Unassembled Script".
Copics Used:
Snowmen: B0000, YR04, R11
Reds: R22, R24, R27, R29
Greens: YG61, YG63, YG67
Browns: E51, E53, E55
Hat: W1, W3, W5, Gold Wink of Stella

I hope that in all the Christmas rush you have time to relax and get crafty! Then you can enter it in our December Challenge using a Christmas/ Winter theme! Head on over to the One Crazy Stamper blog for all the details!

Let The Bells Jingle!

It's Fabulous Friday!
Wow it's December already and Christmas is fast approaching! I made these cards using the adorable snowman from the new Ai Shakers set called "Bells Ring" (#4682). I love that the Ai Shakers come with the image, sentiment, action wobble, "bum" image and die to cut it out. Makes it super easy to assemble!
For this card I used paper from the Doodlebug Home For The Holidays 6x6 collection. I love the bright colours and designs in this pad! I added ribbon, sequins and a stripped candy button as my embellishments. I also paper pieced the snowman's coat and hat, For added fun I glued on bells to his bum that jingle when you make the action wobble shake!
See my short video below to see the bells in action!
Copics Used:
Snowman body:C1
Reds: R20, R22, R24
Greens: YG03, YG05, YG07
Holly: R89, G63, G67
Ground C1, C3
Outline: B000
On the inside I used the sentiment called "Holly Jolly" (#4168)

Now I'm off to finish some Christmas decorating! I love the decorating part but hate the "putting it all away part" LOL!

Happy Stamping!

Snowy Couple!

It's me again LOL!
I have 2 posts today as it's my High Hopes day to post plus it's the New December Challenge over on the One Crazy Stamper Blog. Click HERE to see my OCS Challenge post. My card today is very bright, cheerful and showcases the High Hopes Stamps called "Snowy Couple"and "Think Snow"!
I love the Doodlebug Sugar Plums collection! The colours are so bright and cheery and the patterns so much fun! I decided to paper piece the snow couples outfits for a fun change from colouring with markers. I found a new to me product called Liquid Appliqué. It's amazing!! You put it on like a marker and then heat up with your heat tool and voila it puffs up. I used it on the snow below the couple and to make it look like snow in the sky. I also sprinkled glitter on top of the wet product before heating to add some sparkle. The little gumdrop and candy stickers are from the same Doodlebug collection and tie in nicely to complete my card.
The inside sentiment is also from High Hopes Stamps and is titled "Work of Art". Used the MFT Stitched Rectangles for my sentiment and base layer. The bottom border is from Pretty Pink Posh and is from the Stitched Borders 1 set.
Copics Used:
Snow couple: B000, YR04, R11
Hat: T3, T5, T7
Black Gel pen
White Gel Pen
White Liquid Applique
