Snow Happy

Hi Crafty Friends,
I was inspired by Lawn Fawnatics #188 Lets Celebrate Challenge with these snowmen who are celebrating winter and snow! Perfect timing because we are currently getting a blizzard of snow here in PA already up to 6 inches. They are holding coffee and hot cocoa cups for Caffeinated Christmas Challenge #37 Coffee and Snowflakes. The snowmen are from Lawn Fawn Frosty Family Stamp Set and Frosty Family Add-ons and the sentiment is Lawn Fawn Let It Snow Die.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Have you gotten any snow where you live this year?
A: Me? yes!

Nordic Hugs Valentine

Hi Crafty Friends,
I wanted to show you how the Poppy Stamps Nordic Elves can be used for more occasions than just Christmas so I made a Valentine's Day Card with these cuties.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Who will be your Valentine this year?
A: Me? My puppy Maddie is my Galentine

Step #1: I started my card by using the Poppy Stamps Nordic Motif Stencil with Distress Oxide Candy Apple Ink on Kraft Paper. Next, I die cut the Poppy Stamps Scallop Pinpoint Hearts die in red for the border and white for the center and mounted it in the center of my card at an angle.

Step #2: I used Memory Box 6x6 Blush Cardstock Paper Pad and Memory Box Yuletide Plaid 6x6 Paper Pad to create my Poppy Stamps Nordic Joyful Elves and Poppy Stamps Nordic Sweet Elves.



Step #3: I mounted my elves on the hop leaving space at the top right corner of my heart for my sentiment and surrounded them by little hearts.
Step #4: I finish my card by adding the Poppy Stamps Moonlight Script Hugs Sentiment with the background shadow paper plaid to match the elves outfits.
