Good Sunday morning, Friends! I hope your weekend is going just great! We will be doing Christmas tonight with my brother and parents. A little unconventional but tomorrow we will drive to my sister's house to do Christmas there and then my brother has to go home on Christmas day. This is the first time that my brother's and sister's jobs have prevented us from doing Christmas all together. Yes, it's a bummer but at least we can see each other for a bit. And for that, I am very thankful!
Today's card uses the Frosty Friends single stamp. Such a cute stamp! There isn't much to this one but I wanted to use it for a Christmas card so here is what emerged. I took a piece of Whisper White and ran it through the Big Shot with the Northern Flurry embossing folder. Then I stamped the greeting from More Merry Messages in black StazOn. This is then popped up onto the card base of Whisper White. Then I stamped the image onto a piece of Whisper White in black StazOn and cut it out using the Ovals Collection framelits dies (these will be available in the new spring mini catalog to debut in January). I colored the image using Real Red, Old Olive, Sahara Sand, Pool Party, and Pumpkin Pie markers. Then I popped the oval up onto the card. Thanks for stopping by and have a super day! Go Broncos!!

Today marks the last of the Create with Connie and Mary Card "Create"tions Holiday Edition. :( I have had the best time being a part of this and I feel so honored that I was asked! Thank you Connie and Mary!! As you know, on Saturday we show you all a small favor that we have created using our featured stamp set. I used Frosty Friends this week. What a truly adorable stamp! I am all about snowmen! I really haven't met a snowman I didn't like - lol! My favor today is a little ornament. I had some trouble coming up with something using just this one stamp but I think that this turned out really sweet! I used the Oval Accent die to cut two shapes from muslin. On one piece I stamped the image in black StazOn and colored it in using a blender pen and ink pads. I used Real Red, Gumball Green, Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie and Crumb Cake. Then I put the two shapes together and used some linen thread and a needle to sew the two shapes together. Before sewing the whole thing closed, I stuffed some poly fill into it to make a little poofy. Then I sewed it shut. I found some old wire and weaved it through the stitches and shaped it. Then I added some Victoria crochet trim, linen thread and a bronze button. Too fun!!
