Snowman Wonder--#tgifc292

Magical Christmas is the theme challenge this week at TGIF Challenges.  To me, there is nothing more magical than the beauty and wonder created by a Winter snow--which I don't get to experience very often any more.  I pulled out my Snowman Season stamp set (#150458) and the perfect sentiment from the Wrapped in Christmas stamp set (#153481) to create my entry in the challenge:

The snowman was stamped in Balmy Blue on Whisper White, die cut with the largest circle in the Stitched Shapes dies (#152323) then layered over a scalloped circle die cut from Balmy Blue glimmer paper (#153513) using a Layering Circles die (#151770).   The sentiment was stamped in Misty Moonlight onto Balmy Blue card stock and die cut using a Tasteful Labels die (#152886).

The Misty Moonlight layer was embossed with the Woodland embossing folder (#152881).  A piece of Misty Moonlight/silver baker's twine from the Flowers for Every Season ribbon combo pack (#153620) was wrapped around this layer and tied in a bow.  A Balmy Blue card base completes the card.

Hope you have a magical Christmas season!

A Snow Family--#tgifc237

It's time for another TGIF Challenges sketch challenge.  I took a few liberties with the sketch this week: widened the left panel and flipped the sketch 90 degrees.   Then I fussy cut a snow family!

There are four different patterns from the Let It Snow specialty designer series paper pack (#150393) used on this card.  The Real Red and Coastal Cabana stripe is layered on the card base and the Coastal Cabana snow flurry is the sky behind the snow family.  The mom and pop were fussy cut from one pattern and the child from another.  I thought they looked like a happy little family together.  The snow covered ground was cut from a piece of Whisper White card stock, then heat embossed with Snowfall Accents Puff Paint (#150691).

The greeting is from the Snowman Season stamp set (#150458).  It was stamped in the sky with VersaMark ink and then heat embossed with Black Stampin' Emboss Powder.  The card is finished with a piece of Whisper White baker's twine tied in a bow.
