"Gift Card"

While I had my Hero Arts Snowman die and stamp on my desk I decided to make a card for the current Simon Says Wednesday Challenge "Gift It" . I used my Avery Elle tag die for the card base, I also used another panel of  a Waxed paper embossed background that i had in my stash (see here for the details on how to make this ) Next I cut a piece of card big enough to hold my coffee gift card and also added a glitter card panel to that.  My stamped and die cut snowman is raised up on foam tape for added dimension.  I shall also add this to the a2z scrapbooking challenge "Make it a Tag". All ready now to give at Christmas!!

Its a beautiful sunny Autumn day here in Dorset , I hope the sun is shining where you are.

A Trio of Snowmen!

I have been playing with the cute new snowman and die cut from Hero Arts, here are three more cards for the current "Bring on the Bling" challenge at the Hero Arts blog.  Here I have stamped the snowman with the Merry Christmas message from the Holiday Messages set, before colouring with copics and adding a paper pieced scarf and hat band.

 For this version I have watercoloured with Distress Markers using a brown palette only for a vintage feel.

With the last card I added an acetate window stamped with snowflakes and added a large snowflake attached with an acetate strip so it moves.

Hope you all have a great week.

Snowmen!!

Just a quick post today with a couple of tags made with my new Hero Arts Snowman stamp set and die.  I have been after this set for ages after seeing all the fabulous creations on the HA flickr site.  Its been really hard to find both the stamps and the die in the UK but at last the lovely lady at my local Stamp Shop managed to source them for me.  These sweet tags are the first inkings of my stamp and I am thrilled with them.  I have paper pieced the scarf and hat bands and added lots of glitter,  The hat has been coloured with a Sakura Glaze pen for added shine and I have added Glossy Accents to the eyes and nose.

I am off to play some more,  hope you have a fabulous weekend and thanks for looking!!
