Snowy Greetings Card

Good morning!  I'm so happy it's Thursday- it means tomorrow is Friday and I've got some fun crafty shopping planned!  I can't wait!  :)  It also means that it's my day to share a card on the Newton's Nook Designs blog!  I used the new Flaky Friends set to create this one:

I started with a piece of white cardstock and drew a hill with my pencil so I could place my snowmen in sort of a curved line.  I stamped them all out and erased the line.  I colored them all using Copic markers, adding just a bit of glitter to each one for some fun sparkle!

When I was finished coloring, I pieced the hats and scarves on over the snowmen.  Then I fussy cut around each of them, only going to where the pencil line connected them all so that the hill below them was intact.

I used some fun patterned papers from Lawn Fawn and Doodlebug to really make these cute snowmen stand out.  I also stamped my greeting onto a banner and added it to the bottom of the card.  The sequin snowflakes are from Stampin' Up!  They are so cute!!

I made a snowman for each person in my family- isn't that fun?  I love that they included a cat and dog in the set- I can include Morris, too!  :)

Hope you have a great day!  Thanks for popping by!

Newton's Nook Designs Holiday Release-Flaky Family

Hello!  Are you ready for the third set in Newton's Nook Designs holiday release?  Today we are featuring the new Flaky Family set- it is all about the snowmen!  

Flaky Friends is such a fun set!  It comes with three different sized snowmen that you can decorate with hats, scarves, and other things to give each one their own personality.  There are also doggie and kitty snowmen!

I kept my card simple, stamping out the snowmen and snow doggie onto white cardstock.  I colored them with colored pencils and added the sentiment to the top.  I also decorated each image with a bit of glitter!  It sparkles so nicely under the light!

Cute, right?

Thank You Cath!

Today along with so many card makers from around the world, we are celebrating a woman who can only be described as Moxie Fab!  Cath has been part of my everyday for many years, writing a blog called Moxie Fab World for Paper Crafts Magazine.  She updates it all week long, providing endless bits of inspiration and inspiring me to create pretty things.  It just won't be the same with out her!  I'll miss you Cath!

If you're following along with the hop, you've probably come from Lori Craig's blog.  There are so many people hopping along- what a fun way to say farewell to Cath!

I decided to share a card that I love today- it's cute and colorful and has a touch of sparkle!  All things that feel so Moxie Fab to me!  This one makes me smile:

The snowman stamp is by Darcie's Heart and Home.  The patterned paper is by Pebbles, Inc., and the sticker sentiment is by SRM Stickers.  The sequins were from the You Are My Happy collection by Teresa Collins Designs.  I used my Prismacolor pencils to color this little guy in and afterward, I added some glitter to the snowflakes around him.

 So, Cath, merriest of wishes to you!  I'm sure you're off to exciting things!  Thank you for the years of inspiration and challenges that have helped me become a better card maker!

There are literally hundreds hopping along with us today but please pop over to Courtney Kelly's blog next!  Thanks for stopping by today!
