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!

Monday's {ippity} Hop!

I hope everyone had a great weekend! The weather here in New Jersey was BEAUTIFUL! I had so much fun inking up my new {ippity} stamps in between spending time with my family :) and working.

The first project I made was inspired by Stephanie's Fresh Idea Friday on the {Ippity} Blog. I made this as a magnet for my friend who is going through some family health issues right now and the sentiment is perfect for her situation.

I used October Afternoon DP and one of the sentiment stamp that I LOVE from Delightful Little Things. I stamped the sentiment and then colored it in with Copics.

The next one is a very simple card using the tree stamp from A Little Buggy and Thanks from the Simple Things and more October Afternoon. The border punch is Martha Stewart from Michael's. If you would like to purchase any of these stamps, click HERE to go to my {ippity} sales blog.

Thanks for stopping by, make sure to go to the {ippity} blog to see the full list of hop participants! Hope you have a great week!

xx, Nora Anne
