Snowman Thinking of You

I picked up this cute Great Impressions snowman stamp last week while visiting Pat and Lee at One Little Spark. I thought he was just so adorable and couldn't wait to get him inky.
I paper pieced his hat with one of the patterns from my Cosmo Cricket Circa 1934 6x6 mini deck and colored the pine on his twigs with a green Copic marker (also from One Little Spark). I added some silver Martha Stewart glitter, I liked the look of silver with this card rather than a clear or white glitter for some reason.

I cut him out with an oval nestability and then a scalloped oval in black bazzill to frame him. The cute black scalloped border is from My Favorite Things, I am really loving their Die-namics, have a long wishlist there-haha! The scrappy wishlist never has an end, does it?!
For my triple loop bow, I followed THIS tutorial that I stumbled upon on SCS and finished it off with some punched snowflakes and a pretty pearl brad by Recollections.

This is one of my favorite cards in a long time, this Cosmo paper is going to get A LOT of use from me, just LOVE it!

Oh, and how can I forget, the "thinking of you" sentiment is from the new Ippity release set "How YOU Doin". Click HERE if you'd like to check it out along with all the other adorable new releases!

Getting a Little Shabby!

Hey there, friends! I got down and dirty with my card today, ending up with something a little shabby inspired by the "Fresh Living" image on the Shabby Tea Room blog! Nice and messy with distress inks, glimmer mist, stickles and some liquid glue.

I started out with some Amuse off white cardstock and then distressed with Ranger tea dye distress ink. The background was distressed then ran through a Sizzix embossing folder that was sprayed with olive green glimmer mist first.

The doily stamp from Unity's KOM was stamped with Ranger Embossing ink and then I sprinkled it with Tattered Rose Distress Embossing powder and heat set it, then cut it out. I distressed it with tea dye distress ink, then stamped the sentiment from {ippity's} So This Is Love, in stock HERE and ready to ship!

The flower was a bit of experiment. I used the rolled flower die from MFT and cut some off white felt. I rolled the flower, then sprayed it with a few different colors of glimmer mist, then stickled on top of that. Topped it off with some pink glitter! I hand cut the leaves from the off white felt and sprayed with olive green glimmer mist.

Thanks for stopping by today! I enjoyed sharing my card with you :) You can find today's full list of "Friends with Flair" on the Unity blog!

Have a great weekend :) xx, nora anne
