AAA Cards CAS Game #179 - Along The Edge + optional twist Snowflakes

 


I'm joining the current AAA Cards with a clean simple design including the optional snowflakes.  The edge was blended with distress inks.  The coffee cup is from a local stamping store and the snowflakes are from Stampin' Up!

The finished card size is 4x4.  A card base was made by cutting a Lacy Square die cut in blue card stock from SU then layering the 3.5 square note card.

Power Poppy Creative Confetti Challenge - Let It Snow!

 


I couldn't resist joining the Winter Time/Let it Snow challenge at Power Poppy.  The recent winter release is perfect for this challenge.  Who could resist this adorable Bernard Bear image??  

I picked up some digital images with their Black Friday Weekend sale with 30% of digis. 

The snowy cabin digital image was printed onto Stampin' Up card stock and colored with Copic Markers.  I also highlighted the snow with Icicle Stickles then sponged a cloudy sky with Memento ink and a scalloped die cut.

Bernard Bear from Forest Fellas was also printed onto SU cardstock, colored with Copic Markers, fussy cut and adhered to the snowy scene.  I just love him!  Marcella's details are so fabulous, down to a watch on his arm!

Your Next Stamp Challenge #152 Trios and Sketch Saturday

 


Happy Thanksgiving!  I was able to sneak in a little crafty time today and join a couple of fun challenges.  I recently purchased the adorable Photo Booth set from YNS and it paired perfectly with the Sketch Saturday challenge.  I'm hoping that the three panels from the sketch will satisfy the "trios" for YNS.  :)

The cute pup and cat were colored with Copic markers and layered onto papers from Echo Park Birthday Wishes paper pad.  A coordinating sentiment from the set finishes the slimline card design.
