Color Hues # 124

 Hello! 

We woke up to snow flakes and gray skies this morning.  It was the perfect atmosphere to “build” a snowman with paper.  lol.  


The color palette chosen is part of the current Color Hues Challenge #124.  To play along, please visit the link (HERE)


Assembly:

To make this card, I began with an older Memory Box snowman that cuts a sillouette.  


(Memory Box 100% Steel Charming Snowman Collage Cutting Die- 94498) 


I cut a small panel from Smoky Slate (SU) cardstock.  I used a scrap of white to cut the sillouette, and then used the same rectangular mat due to cut around.  The two pieces were stacked together to show the gray shadow underneath.  

The snowman was embellished with wiping Versamark ink direct to paper and heat embossed with Ranger Snowflake tinsel embossing powder.  I took my finger and brushed away a little, just to provide a little highlight along the edge.  

The sentiment from Gina K. Designs - Hand Lettered Holiday was heat embossed on a scrap of Cherry Cobbler (SU) cardstock.  

I cut another rectangular mat, and embossed with Stampin Up’s Timeworn Type Embossing Folder.  

To finish off the card, a small bow was added to embellish the snowman.  

Thanks for stopping by! - Valerie Kaye

    The EF is a perfect texture for your sweet snowman card. The twin bow as a nice touch too! Thanks for playing at Color Hues.

    It was certainly snowman building weather here earlier this week but sadly none were built but there was plenty of sledging! The subtle use of grey against the glittery body of the snowman works really well. Thanks for joining us at Color Hues. :)

    Love this snowman and the sparkles, Valerie! This is the best kind of snowman as your mittens don't get wet and cold! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Color Hues! (I would love to see some snow falling outside my window!)

Easter Fun Fold

Hello!  I saw a great technique today, that is a Z - fold card with a cross design. The card technique is from Lynn Dunn.  She has both a video and a very helpful download with all the measurements.  Thanks Lynn!  This is a great card for many occasions!  What I like about this design is that the cross is very prominent by the Z-Fold. You can find Lynn’s link:  (Here)   One of the most helpful tools for this project is a simple engineering ruler.  I watched a video from Jennifer McGuire a while back, and it’s a tool she uses often.   I ordered it, and it makes life so much easier.  This ruler is easy to read with all of the markings.  It has both metric and standard markings. (Amazon Link) I looked through my papers and made this card with Stampin Up’s Thoughtful Journey DSP.   The embossed cross pattern is from an Anna Griffin - Border embossing folder.  The pattern is called Blooming Damask.   The sentiment is from ...

Positively Peanuts!

 Hello!  The current challenge for the Double D Blog is Love and friendship.   To join in on the challenge: click the link  (HERE) I couldn’t think of a better friendship than Snoopy and Woodstock’s!  I was gifted the Creative Stamping Magazine, issue 156 from my Sister In Law!  I had kind of given up on these stamps, and she happened to see the magazine sitting on the shelf in the bookstore, and was nice to gift me the magazine.   To create this shaker card, I used a frame cutting die from the Past Unity Stamps Whit Kit (No Place Like Home).  I stacked  2 - panels for the top, and 4 - panels for the bottom, using Unity’s Basic Black cards stock. The bottom frame was glued to a slightly larger frame cutting die from Coastal Cabana card stock (SU). The hearts were added from a mini paper punch, with a few extra small beads.   Snoopy and Woodstock were stamped with Versa fine onyx black ink, colored and fussy cut.  I stamped the senti...

Blue Door Wreath

 Hello! Today was the first day I played with my Greetery, Shortbread Embossing Folder!   My parents usually visit close to the Holidays to celebrate a birthday and exchange gifts with one another.   My Mom graciously gave me a card with money, so I online shopped with the Greetery to pick up some things I had been eyeing.  (Thanks, Mom! ❤️) I started by cutting the Shortbread outline with the coordinating die first, then lining the the cut piece up and embossing as usual. For the card base, I cut a side folding A2 sized card.  I took the Shortbread Shapes die, letting the cutting edge hang off the crease.   I adhered the embossed panel on top, and trimmed the bottom edge. For the wreath: I started by cutting the outline with two nesting half circle dies, and taping one inside the other. Then I grabbed 3 -shades of scrap blue cardstock (Seaside Spray, Misty Moonlight, and Night of Navy) - SU and cut leaves from an older Concord and 9th Christmas Set. The fu...
