Snowy Friend

 Hello, 

It has been a few weeks since I posted.  I took a break from making cards over Christmas.   I managed to finish seven scrapbook layouts.  It felt good to see the finished pages in my book.   I'm hoping to get a few more done this month.  

I put my Christmas stamps away and pulled out my snowman stamps.  Gosh, I love snowmen.  This one is so sweet.  She looks so peaceful.   I love this card in pink, but I might have to explore colors.  What colors would you suggest? 

Thank you for Splitcoaststampers for showcasing my card.   I had several people ask about where to get the stamp.  It is a digital image.  You can find it here.

Good at Being Naughty

 Hello friends, 

For about three years now, I've been wanting to make some silly Christmas cards.  It is hard because I know that not everyone enjoys that style of card.  I thought that with everyone being stuck in quarantine that this year might a good year to bring a little extra laughter into the mix.    My next few posts are going to be featuring some silly stamps.  I hope you get a chuckle out of them. 

This frog made me smile the instant I saw him.  The expression on his face is just perfect.  I used a reverse masking and a stencil to create the cloudy background.

Penguin Tree

 Welcome, 

I have another new stamp to share.  This is Mama Elephant's Penguin Tree.  It was release a little while ago.  It was an instant hit and sold out everywhere.  I was lucky enough to snag one and couldn't wait to ink it up.   This pile of penguins is adorable!

I added glitter using sparkle glitter pens to lots of the tiny items the penguins are playing with.  This is optional.  My one regret is that it made the sand in the fishbowl dark brown.  I liked it better in a lighter brown.  Oh well... lesson learned.

Another Flake

Beauty of the Season

Do you want to build a snowman?

 Okay, I cheated these snowman come mostly assembled from Honey Bee stamps.

I look a little like these snowman.  I think we all had a little too much to eat at Christmas dinner.  I hope this note finds you relaxing and enjoying a little rest.

Beautiful Snowflake

Hi everyone!

I was on the fence about coloring her dress blue or red.  I needed a few more Christmas cards, so I went with red.  What do you think?  Would this be a winter card if her dress was blue?  I guess the hat always confuses me a bit.  We associate it with Santa, but do we wear those outside of Christmas?

Snow Simple

Hello friends.

I have another simple card to share.  I went through my die collection to find a embossing folders, punches, and dies that could be used together to make a snowman.   I love the silver glitter paper on the hat.  It needed a little shine.

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

Have a Cool Day

Welcome,

 I like trying new things...and today's card falls into the new things category.    I used a stencil to create the snow.  It was a lot of fun, but hard to control.  With a little practice, I think I can I'll get better.

Extreme Birthday

Welcome,

I know the Olympics have been over for a bit, but I was so busy enjoying them that I got a little behind on the blog.  I made this card to celebrate all the winter sports.   I thought this bear looked a little nervous about his trip down hill... so I have him a squiggly path.

Snow Cool

Hello all,


I hope you enjoyed my week of birds.  I had so much fun coloring them.   The theme for last month's copic class was texture, light source, and blending two different family groups together.  This is one of the cards we made to practice.    They did a great job.   There is a lot of detail in this card.  I'm so proud of how their cards turned out.

Happy Monday!

Thanksgiving week has finally arrived.  Connor and I are getting ready for his parents to visit.  It has been a while since we have seen them, so it will be nice to catch up!  What are your plans for the holiday weekend?

These two are so sweet!

A Snowy Hello

Greetings, 

I love today's card.  This guy is just adorable.  I wanted it to look like he was going down hill, so I cut the matte off center.   It was really easy to do.  I glued the card stock to the card and then trimmed the parts that hung off the edges off with scissors.

Cute Snowblower

Happy Monday,

It has been really cold here in NY.  Each morning we wake up to a fresh coat of snow on top of everything.  My Facebook feed has been full of silly stories of my friends shoveling the driveways.  It inspired me to color up this cutie.

Wouldn't having a pet elephant be awesome?

Snowflake Wars

Happy Tuesday,

Another quick card for you today.  I really like the layout of this card, but wasn't sure what colors to pick.  I started off making this card in brown.  Connor (hubby) thought it looked drab.  I went back my paper box and pulled out some blues.   I'm still not sure which one I like better.  I'm tempted to make a few in pink and maybe purple.  What colors do you think would work best?
