CUTE AS A BUTTON DECEMBER INSPIRATION

Hello There Crafty Friends,

I would like to share a card I made with you all...

Using the beautiful 'North Pole' and 'Snow Fox'

...So without further ado here's my card...

...Here's what I used to make it...

Digistamps 'North Pole' and 'Snow Fox'

Marco Raffine Colored Pencils

Aleene's Glitter Snow

Paintbrush
Lawn Fawn Ink Cube 'Peacock'

Darice Embossing Essentials Dies 'Snowflakes'

Score-Tape 'Double Sided'

 White Cardstock

...For this card...

I colored the images and sky with colored pencils. 

Then using a paintbrush I added Aleene's Glitter Snow onto the North Pole sign and ground.

Using Score-Tape I adhered the image to the card.

I made a big booboo on the image. I was so upset with myself, ugh, lol. See where the two snowflakes are on the top right...when I was suppose to be cutting the tape off, I cut across the image. From now on, I think I will cut the strip of tape first, then add it to the paper. Anyways, pretty snowflakes covering the cut, saved the day. :)

I hope you like my card and it gives you some inspiration.

CROPSTOP GUEST DESIGNER

Hello There Crafty Friends,

I am so excited and honored to have been asked to be a guest designer for...

...I had a lot of fun making this card...

 ...Products Used...

Digital Image By Luna Girl

Sizzix BIGkick Machine by Vintaj

Darice Embossing Essentials Dies 'Snowflakes'
Signature Collection By Sara Davies Contemporary Christmas Dies 'Festive Trio'

Plus Tape Runner
Beacon Gem-Tac Glue
Ad Tech Crafter's Precision Glue
Black/White Cardstock

...For my card...

I embossed a piece of green ColorCore Cardstock 'Glitter' using Darice Embossing Folder 'Holly Vines'. Then I die cut the largest snowflake from the Darice Embossing Essentials Dies 'Snowflakes'. Next I die cut the snowflake three times from the Signature Collection By Sara Davies Contemporary Christmas Dies 'Festive Trio'. I then cut a piece of paper from the The Paper Studio 'Tattered and Worn' Paper Pad a little larger than the green glitter paper. Then I made my card with white cardstock a little larger than the patterned paper. Using the Prima Marketing Distressing Tool I distressed around the green glitter paper, the patterned paper and the card. Then I went around both papers and the card using the Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pad 'Tea Dye'. After the ink dried, I applied tape to the back of the green paper and attached it to the patterned paper. Then I applied tape to the back of the patterned paper and attached it to the card. Next I cut a piece of coffee stained lace and glued it onto the card. Then cut a piece of Darice Fabric Tape and attached it across the center of the lace. Next I glued the three snowflakes onto the fabric tape. I had an idea to use natural twine to make a wreath. So I wrapped like eight strands around my hand and glued the ends in back. Then I cut a piece of Darice Hemp Cord 'Natural' and wrapped it around the strands to make the wreath. I tied the ends together and glued them in back. The holly berries floral stems were in my stash, thought they were perfect for this card. I stuck one in the wreath and applied glue to the back of it. I wanted the digital image to look like it came from an old family photo album, so I cut four black triangle shapes for the corners and glued them in place. Next I glued the larger snowflake onto the upper left side of the card. Then I cut a piece of coffee stained gauge and glued it onto the right upper part of the card. After placing the image partially inside the wreath I added glue to the back of the wreath and at the bottom of the image, then glued them over part of the gauge. Next I tied a piece of Darice Hemp Cord 'Natural' on the other holly berries and glued them to the bottom right of the card. My dear husband had brought me some cedar tree pods in from outside to dry overnight, so I was able to glue them onto the wreath. I think they add the perfect touch for my wreath. :)
