HMFMC #457 Midway Inspiration ATG or Winter

House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge

#457 Midway Inspiration

Anything Goes

with the option theme of

Winter

Hosted by our Talented Teamie - Cari

love all the glitter

Wishing for Spring

Muzzy is trying so hard to be patient! With this crazy weather-aren't we all? We normally measure snow here in my neck of the woods by feet and we have had maybe 1 inch so far. I am waiting for the snow!

For my card today I made my little domed snowflake card in the Silhouette software. I know there are some cool dies like this you could probably find online. I am impatient so I just welded a snowflake to an arched opening and made my own.

Image is colored with copics. With the meece masked off I blended the sky with distress inks. I added some glittery snow and a fancy glitter ground too. I tell you, I get glitter everywhere even when I try my darndest to contain it LOL! The nice little sentiment is one of three sentiments included with Muzzy. The other 2 sentiments are My thoughts are with you and Where flowers bloom, so does hope. Lady Bird Johnson.

Tiny Tinsel
Snowflake Season

I am a bit late with my Penny Black Saturday Challenge, but better late than never! This is one of my favorite new Penny Black releases. Cute Critters are my thing!

I wanted to make a pretty snow scene for my critters. I used the beautiful Ski Lodge embossing folder from Spellbinders for my background. I added a few misc tree die cuts and a Lawn Fawn die slimline stitched hillside border to complete my winter wonderland.

Something New

Hosted by our Talented Teamie - Lols

Hold On RSC-018 Spellbinders

Love this cute little snow scene! That little mouse hanging on for dear life is too funny!

I colored with copics and used Lawn Fawn rectangle and lacy rectangle dies. I used the Simon Says snow stencil with Lawn Fawn white stencil paste. It's a bit hard to see the snow in this picture, but it adds a nice texture to the card. I embossed one of the sentiments that is included in the stamp set. The other sentiment is Have an "ice" Holiday Season.

Penny Black Mid Way Inspiration=ATG or Snow/Snowmen

Penny Black Saturday Challenge

Mid-Way Reminder

December Challenge

Anything Goes

or the optional theme-

Snow/Snowman

Tiny Tinsel 31-158 (SSS)

Slimline Zig-Zag 51-733

Modern Xmas Tree 51-400

Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders

When I saw this adorable stamp set, I knew it was designed just for me LOL! I just fell in love with it and had to have it. So so cute. I stamped, colored and cut out the critters for my slimline card. (there are matching dies for this stamp set but I didn't have them).

To start my card, I used two slimline pinked panels for the card base. I then blended a bit of sky colored ink on the background before starting my little scene. I then glued on my hillside. I colored the modern x-mas tree die cuts to match the little critters outfits and tucked them in behind and in front of the stitched hillside, along with the critters. I then stamped the sentiment that is included in the stamp set and added few little misc snowflakes on the hillside for the finishing touch.

So cute! I adore Penny Black critters!

'Something New'

and

Christmas Tree and Snow Card-Silhouette file 281136

My something new is the stamp set as well as the cut file!

I cut this fun background base card with my Silhouette and added a sponged sky piece to the back. I colored my Snow People and cut them out with my Scan N Cut. I added them to the front scene with pop dots and stamped a simple sentiment from the stamp set. I think it made for the cutest little winter scene! This set would be easy to make as a winter or a holiday creation-love the double duty!

Lori Whitlock November Blog Hop

Flat Fold Tudor House Bundle

Aren't these so fun??? I love all the detail on these houses. (Lori's Store, Silhouette Store House 1, House 2, House 3)

In Lori's store you can purchase them in a bundle or singly.

I cut them in a festive color theme and decorated them with bits and pieces from several other Lori Whitlock files. I used the swag and trees from Christmas House Card (Lori's Store, Silhouette Store) and the wreath and red bow from the Gingerbread House Treat box (Lori's Store, Silhouette Store).(I resized the decorations to fit the Tudor houses)

Notice the details on all sides of the houses too!

I added in the inside window pane piece and then added vellum over the window openings. (cut pieces for all that included). I will then add some little battery lights inside so the light shines through the windows. These houses fold flat for storage or mailing.
