Happy Saturday! It’s time for another Saturday Blog Hop and we have been inspired by Christmas Carols over the past few weeks! Our fourth Christmas Carol theme is “Walking in a Winter Wonderland”…cards that have a winter theme.  I love this song!

SNOW FRONT

One thing I love seeing in the winter are cardinals.  We have a lot of them in the woods behind our house.  Love the pop of red against the white snow!  I always feel it is my grandmother visiting!  And, since I’ve sent out my Christmas Cards already, I made this one a winter birthday card.  There’s a sneak peek of a new Occasions stamp set that I’m SUPER excited about…do you see it?  I also went out of the norm and made a square card!

 

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 4-1/2 x 9 Seaside Spray cardstock, scored at 4-1/2 and folded to form a square card.
• A 1-1/2 x 4-1/2 piece of the polka dot print from Come to Gather Designer Paper was added vertically along the left side, then a 2-1/4 x 4-1/2 piece of the woodgrain print from Come to Gather Designer Paper was added horizontally.
• The tree from Snow Front was stamped with Early Espresso Ink on Whisper White cardstock, then cut with the largest Stitched Shape Oval.
• Two cardinals from Snow Front were stamped with Real Red on scrap Whisper White cardstock, hand-cut and added to the tree.
• The ground was stamped with Seaside Spray Ink and the snowman with Smoky Slate Ink.  The oval was popped up on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Happy Birthday from Label Me Bold (new Occasions stamp set) was stamped with Real Red on Whisper White, then hand-cut and added to the front with a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional.

I must admit…I think this turned out to be a VERY pretty card!  Next up on our “Walking in a Winter Wonderland” blog hop is our Create with Connie and Mary website, then on to creative Mary Brown, or head backwards to see Melissa’s fabulous card!

Happy Thursday!!!  It’s time for another Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge…a beautiful color combination this week!

Although the colors are beautiful for fall and leaves, I thought I’d try to step out of the box a little and use my new Snow Front stamp set.  It’s not just for winter!  The deer remind me of the ones that come visit the woods behind us every night.

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Pretty Peacock cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
• The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Crumb Cake cardstock was stamped with the “sprinkle” stamp in Snow Front and Crumb Cake Ink in the upper left and lower right corners.
• A 1-1/4 x 5-1/4 strip of Come to Gather Designer Paper was added across the front.
• Some Linen Thread was wrapped around twice and tied in a knot on the left side.
• The mountains from Snow Front were stamped and stamped off with Cajun Craze Ink towards the top of the 2-1/2 x 3-3/4 piece of cardstock.  The ground and cabin stamped next with Crumb Cake Ink.  The trees were stamped and stamped off with Pretty Peacock Ink.  The deer were stamped with Crumb Cake, then darkened with the Bronze Stampin’ Blends.
• The Whisper White panel was added to a 2-3/4 x 4 piece of Cajun Craze cardstock, then added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Let’s Celebrate You from Itty Bitty Birthdays was stamped with Pretty Peacock Ink above the “scene”.

I love this set…really easy to create fun looking landscapes!  Check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this color combination over on Create with Connie and Mary!
