Poppy Stamps - PSC40

When it's subzero, it's crafting weather, and the themes between Memory Box and PoppyStamps are just two similar to not make a second card...
Poppystamp's challenge was to create a card with the theme, "Snow Day." Here's what I came up with... (Incidentally, this also works with the Daily Marker's coloring challenge!)

Materials
Stamps/Inks: Memento - Tuxedo Black,  Poppystamps - Snow One Like You
Cutting/Embossing: Poppystamps - Snow One Like You coordinating dies, Snowflake Breeze craft die, and I think the pine tree border is also Poppystamps - but I'm not sure - let me know if you do know!
Misc: Copic markers, dimensional adhesive, stardust stickles
Paper: Misc. Bazzill cardstock

Memory Box Challenge

It's been a little quiet on the blog- lots of Christmas card making, knitting, and teaching tag/giftwrapping classes... but no time to post. Maybe I'll catch up on that later.

But, due to to the frigid temperatures here in MN, it's only appropriate to participate in this month's challenge at Memory Box. The theme is: Snow and Winter.

The snowman heart collage die is just beautiful - I also have the snowman collage craft die, which is somewhat similar. Love snowmen! Anyway, this card was not terribly hard to duplicate, so I made a bunch for some post-holiday thank you notes. It would be very simple to change the sentiment and make these into Valentine's cards, as well!

Materials:
Stamps/Inks: Memento - Tuxedo Black, TH Distress Oxide inks (soot, worn lipstick, twisted citron, wilted violet, tumbled glass), Darcie's Stamps - Thanks
Cutting/Embossing: Memory Box - Snowman Heart collage, Newton's Nook - Frames and Flags die set
Paper: Memory Box cranberry notecards, Neenah - solar white, misc. Bazzill cardstock, watercolor paper, Swirl DP from Impress
Misc: Black nuvo drops and Crystal clear nuvo accents, sheer glimmer mist and gold spray

Still plugging away...

Just a quick drop in -lots of crafty projects going on over here! These are using some new-to-me yarn --- scrubby (variegated, plain, and sparkle) from Red Heart.

I used a fun pattern called, "Tribble." I modified the pattern due to gauge of yarn - casting on 16. Quick and cute. Size 6 needles.

Day 7...

I'm back with another card inspired by Justine's12 Days of Christmas series. After a weekend away, and a flurry of planning for an upcoming office event, where I'll be teaching some Christmas tags, I've definitely not been lax in my Christmas card prep... just in posting photos!

Watercolor background with a simple copic colored bear and a heat embossed sentiment.

And onto the tags - I tried to keep these simple, easy to put together, and a variety of styles - two are gift card holders (the santa belt tags and the Lil Inker Designs flap tag with the Poppystamps deer).

A little zig clean color watercoloring...
