Hello,
Friends and Happy Hump Day! The Midweek Magnolias Design Team has a new
challenge for you and with the start of November we are celebrating with a new
Christmas Challenge every week before we go on break. This week our Christmas theme is “Winter
Wonderland” so I hope you join in for the fun and get all those Christmas cards
done.
Hop
over to Midweek Magnolias for some lovely inspiration from the DT and leave
some love on their blogs. When you join us for the challenge you’ll have a
chance to win a fabulous mystery prize from Magnolia Sweden.
My card this week features “Ski Edwin with Snowflakes” from the Christmas Story Collection. I colored Edwin with
Copics and used some Stardust Stickles on the snowflakes for extra sparkle. I cut Edwin and his frame from two Quickutz Nesting Scallop dies.
My cardstock is from Bazzill and
the DPs are from two Magnolia Holiday paper collections.
My daughter and I recently
attended a Scrapbook Expo here in Denver and I got these awesome Tim Holtz Snowflake border and Dimensional folded Snowflake dies
from the Sizzix booth. I also won a $20 gift certificate door prize from this booth
and added several more dies to my collection. What fun we had! All
snowflake dies were run through my Xyron
sticker maker then I sprinkled MS clear glitter on the adhesive side before
folding and adhering for lots of sparkle. I also added Stardust Stickles to the middles of my
folded dimensional snowflakes.
I added some silver embossed sheer
ribbon and a bow which is from Michaels. I finished it off with a sweet
sentiment from Whimsy Stamps that was heat embossed with gorgeous blue jewel
tone embossing powder. Just the right touch to match my blue cardstock and papers.
The inside of my card has similar
elements from the front with a Magnolia sentiment that was also heat embossed.
I’m entering this project in
the following Challenges:
Make It Monday – Anything Goes
Tilda’sTown – Winter Weather
Through the Craftroom Door – Anything Goes
Cards for Men – Anything Goes
Kaboodle Doodles – Anything Goes
I hope my card inspires you to
join us this week at Midweek Magnolias. Happy crafting…
Hugz,
