some snowman soup?

Hi there,

nice to see you today. Finally I had time to participate in some challenges, yeah!

Korin at The Sweet Stop has an awesome sketch this week - I couldn't resist ...

And I just figured out that this card can even be a take for this cool challenge - check it out!

A while back I ordered this set from CC Design - LOVE it!!!!!!! The snowman is just gorgeous and doesn't need fancy coloring when you throw in some paper piecing, right?

I had so much fun coloring this cutie that I had to work with him again. Watch out for tomorrow's post, ;-)

The paper is from Bo Bunny's Kitchen Spice Collection - so warm but nevertheless so matching for Mr. Ice! And the Dazzling Diamonds look like snow falling down ... (well, at least to me ...)

Thank you for stopping by today and for all the nice and wonderful comments - I so appreciate each and every one.

Take care

Tanja

Christmas Vol. ?

Hi there,

are you getting tired of checking out my Christmas cards? I'm sorry but I'm in Christmas cards mood. And due to the fact that we need still a bunch of those I can't help but always grab a christmas related stamp when it comes to cardmaking **grin**.

This time I participate in the challenge from Stamps and Smiles/ Our Creative Corner. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE this sketch. I'm a fan of the clean-and-simple style (not always but mostly ;-) and so I put this card together in less than 20 minutes. The DP is so gorgeous that I wanted it to stand for itself - I put it on dimensionald to give it more depth. And the sentiment is embossed for a 3-D look.

For the accessories I used my Martha Stewart snowflake punch and ran it through my Xyron then give it a glitter bath and here we are ...

stamp: Christmas Poinsettias from Sweet and Sassy Stamps; ink: whisper white craft SU

paper: choc chip, ww, Christmas Cocoa DP; others: clear EP, dimensionals, soft suede ribbon, MS snowflake punch, Xyron, glitter

That was so easy and fast that I just used the rest of the cs and made a second card with the specialty paper from the same Christmas Cocoa line from SU. It is way too adorable, what do you think? ... I mean the paper!

stamp: Christmas Poinsettias from Sweet and Sassy stamps; ink: whisper white craft

paper: choc chip, ww, Christmas Cocoa DP SU; others: clear EP dimensionals, Playground buttons SU, threat, Sleigh Bell ribbon SU

I think you will see some more cards here with this layout. Like I said - it will be one of my favorites -hehe!

Thank you for visitng me today and thank you for all the wonderful comments you left on this blog. They are very much appreciated.

Hugs Tanja

It's ugly

Good afternoon!!!

Do you wanna see an ugly card? Go ahead and have a look at this.

Have you ever been there? You have an idea, you have exactly the perfect stamp and it doesn't wanna come together? That happened to me with this "creation"

I wanted to play the Sweet Stop Challenge, liked the sketch and had this beautiful wreath stamp from their shop. Coloring was okay and then ... blackout! But well,.... next time I will be better ;-) , right?

Thank you for popping in - take care, my friends!

Hugs Tanja
