The Card Concept: Winter Warmth

 


Happy 2021 everyone!
The Card Concept has a new challenge and the photo is sure to inspire!


The colors were the first I saw, red and white with a touch of cocoa. The cup 
of course, and the tiny bit check on the bottom right.


I used the Greetery's Cozy Cup stamp and die set to create a Clean and Layered card.


The sweet cuppa just oozes cozy warmth, don't you think?
Challenges are for 2 weeks, and don't forget to add our challenge photo to your post.
Happy New Year, and happy creating!

Inspired By: Melted Snowman

 


These Inspired By Card Challenge has the most intriguing challenge this week... 
take a look


I had to play along, especially with friends on the design team who came up 
with the most clever interpretations!


The colors, of course inspired my card, but a melting snowman? I had nothing.
So, instead I used just the head of a new favorite, a Tim Holtz Thinlets die set,
Cool Yule. He looks rather perplexed at having a monocled eye and only a head, 
and I love his sassy wide eyed stare!


Inspired By gives us this sketch to use, which I did use, loosely (perfectly admissible!),


the Greetery's Snowflake Soiree set comes with a series of stencils, giving you the 
option to change colors with your snowflakes. I didn't really change my colors as
much as use a lighter touch with the B stencil. Betsy even included a stencil that lets you
shade or color below the snowflakes. The wonderful sentiment is the Greetery's Simply
Wonderful.


Had to include the polka dots in the inspiration photo with the dotty bow tie! 
Theres a lot of shimmer on my card too, like it's been out in the frosty air.

Well, that's it folks. Think I came close to the inspiration, but if you want to 
see some brilliance, check out the designers at:

Anniversary Card


Happy New Year! 
I have an anniversary card to share with you. My daughter and my SIL are 
celebrating a winter anniversary, and I just recently got the Greetery's
Inside & Out Berry Branch. They sold out, and I was so happy Betsy restocked
it so soon.


I really wanted to keep the feel of winter with the elements and color,
so kraft and grey was where I started. 


The gorgeous bow was another late purchase (also sold out until recently),
and I doubled it with pale pink underneath the red.


The sentiment is a combo of 2 sets, Just Mason Around and Bountiful Wreath.
I love the loose script on the blessings, not to mention I LOVE including the
word Blessings to any card!

Have you had a chance to use any of the Greetery's new sets? They glam up
a card front like no other! Love the new frame too!

Blessings to you in the new year! 
And welcome 2020!

Faux Stained Glass


Merry Christmas! 
Can you believe we're at the end of 2017?
Just had to play along despite the busy time. PTI's MIM this week, is with Laurie and
creating Faux Stained Glass.


Laurie suggested a cover plate, and I chose Winter Woods.
My vellum is colored with copics, and I loved the effect it gave through the trees.
Silver White Winters snowflakes and the tops of the trees
were sprinkled with glitter, rather hard to see.


You can see a bit of the glitter in this closeup.
