Snowman with Plaid

This cute snowman is called Snow Posh, by .Creative Bug   one of the sponsors of the cuttent challenge at the Crafter's cafe.  The theme of the challenge is Use Lace and/or Christmas, and it runs for two weeks.  We hope to see you there - check out the prizes, rules and other details here. 
I used more of the plaid cs to paper piece his hat and scarf.  The sentiment is computer generated.
Sadly, Becy's month of Christmas challenges is drawing to a close -  I did not actually make it to "S", but I had fun trying.  Maybe next year!!

DT card for QKR Stampede ~ ATG with Snowman option

This week the challenge at QKR Stampede is once again Anything Goes. If you wish, you may do the Snowman option - there are so many cute snowmen out there!  (Right now, I am sure a few of you have seen enough snow to last you for a while!)  The challenge is open through Thursday at 4 p.m EST, and you may enter as many as 3 times.  Winners receive digis from QKR - more if you use one of their images.
This digi, from the QKR  collection, is called Snowman Couple.  I thought it would make a cute anniversary card - but I will decide later and add a sentiment then.  I used a bit of shiny red gel pen and enhanced it and the DP with red glitter.  The horizontal panel is actually a bit of gold mesh.  When I stopped at the 99 Cents Only store I found a few Christmas items on sale for a quarter - could not resist the rolls of mesh and some tissue paper!  The bg uses the Snowflake embossing folder by Cuttlebug.

Double Gate fold

I have made gate fold but never double ones!  I have lots of double sided paper and this is a good way to use it.
There is a tutorial at SplitCoastStampers.

Snow Couple ~ QKR DT ~ Challenge #224

The QKR Stampede challenge for this week is to feature snow or snowmen.  You may enter up to 3 times by 3 PM EST on Thursday, Jan. 5.  If you are a winner, you will win some cute digis from the QKR Stampede shop.  This week I chose to use this adorable digi couple and the accompanying sentiment.  There are two anniversaries in our family this week, and this theme seemed appropriate.  In fact, the card is already in the mail!  I used Prismas for coloring.  The card is completed with the snowflake embossing folder (Cuttlebug) (on the top half of card only), some Washi tape, and a punched snowflake with glitter.
