Hello friends,
I hope you are staying warm. The snow has started coming down and the temperatures are dropping. I'm so glad I'm home and in my craft room.
I used a stencil to create the heart background. It had a lot of fun doing it. I'm not sure why I don't do it more often. I might have found a new addiction. YIKES! Do you have a favorite stencil? I'd love to hear about it.

Million Magic Wishes
Happy Monday,
I'm still using up some of the backgrounds I made. I love the way the silhouette stamps look on the these distress ink backgrounds. I can see this being addicting.

Cool Friends
Hello friends,
I created the background today by using distress oxide inks on glossy paper. I smooshed the ink onto the paper and let it dry. You can't control what pattern it creates, but I think that is part of the beauty. The polar bears are from Hero Arts (click here). You can also see the set here.
Copics used: C3, C1, C0 to add shadow on bears and snow.

Furr-Friend Faux Letterpress
Greetings,
I can't take full credit for this idea. I saw the J. McGuire do this in one of her videos. I used the die cuts to stamp and deboss the paper. It is simple, but stunning. I wanted to give it a try. I used Spellbinders dog dies to create this card. I'm glad to have this technique in my bag of tricks.
No copics today.
I finished it off with glossy accents.

I'd Be Toast without you
Hello friends,
I wanted to play with Lawn Fawn's new Let's Toast set. You can find it here. It also comes with dies and an interactive die set. I had so much fun creating with this set. Lawn Fawn worked their magic. It made building the interactive mechanism for this card so easy. There are a lot of cute saying in the set, so I know I will be using it a lot.
The inside of card says "I'd be Toast without You".

Penguin gift
Hello all,
I'm playing a little more catch up today. This penguin cutie was colored up for Christmas, but many of you thought this could be used for a birthday card. I love the creativity.

On the Fence...
Hello friends,
I have another scene to share with you today. This time I picked a location closer to home. I think the bird with scarf might be a penguin. I'm not 100% sure. I colored him brown and stuck him on the fence. Maybe he is vacationing here?

Frosty Friend
Hello,
Check out this cutie. I think he is perched on the lamp post to soak up whatever heat that can be found on this frosty night.
Stay warm friends,
Chris

As the Snow Falls
Greetings,
I used the inner rings for the second card. The card base is a soft grey. I stamped a snowflake background from Gina K. The inside stamp is from Unity. These cards are fairly simple to make, but it took some time to glue all the die layers together. I hope you enjoyed these cards.
I love snowflakes. I also love layering dies. They were a perfect for these cards. I was able to make two cards from the birch press die. I used the outer layer for the first one. I used a series of blue and purple cardstocks. The snowflakes are from Stampin Up.
