Hello Sunshine

Hi Crafty Friends,
I made a shiny summer card for my best friend inspired by the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #200 Celebrating Friendship. My card features Lawn Fawn Hello Sunshine Die and Lawn Fawn Sunray Backdrop Die. In the background is Thermoweb Ray of Sunshine Toner Front with Thermoweb Color Harmony Shades of Orange Decofoil.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Where have you been enjoying sunshine this summer?
A: Enola, PA ;) I hate traveling

Christmas Snowman Slimline

Hi Crafty Friends,
It's Christmas in July with Brass & Bliss. I have a slimline snowman Christmas card featuring Brass & Bliss Snowmen with Presents 3336, Brass & Bliss Slimline OPC Scallop Die 5322-01D, and Brass & Bliss Merry Christmas with Shadow Die 5515-12D. I just love how whimsical these cute snowmen are and they are perfect for each window of the die.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Have you ever bought a Christmas present for someone in the summer?
A: Me? No, I would totally forget where I stored it. 

Step #1: I die cut the 3 scalloped squares from the Brass & Bliss Slimline OPC Scallop Die in three different pattern papers. Next, I die cut the outline out of red cardstock and mounted my background on white cardstock.




Step #2: I colored the Snowmen with Presents with Copic Markers Reds: R39,R37,R29, Darker Greens: G28,G09,G05, and Lime Greens: YG07, YG05,YG03. I arranged them in the various windows of the die.

Step #3: I finished my card with the Christmas sentiment die cut from green and white cardstock and mounted at the bottom of my card.

Brass & Bliss Snowmen with Presents 3336
