Winter Skies

There’s no place like a cozy little igloo for Christmas—at least this adorable bear family thinks so! I created this card for the current Lawn Fawnatics Challenge – Christmas Past and Present, and it was the perfect excuse to unwrap some treasures from my stash. I paired the older Winter Skies stamp set with the new Build An Igloo for a merry mix of old favorites and new fun. And what’s Christmas Eve without a little magic? I made this a slider card so my cozy little family could catch Santa flying past the moon. Here’s hoping he makes a special stop at their snowy little home!

For my background, I started with the Nighttime Sky Stencil.  My moon is layered with Lost Shadow Distress Oxide Ink.  The rest of my sky is Tumbled Glass, Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire and a little Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink. 

Once I inked my sky, I used the Slide on Over Die Set to make my slider opening and then heat embossed some snowflakes using the snowflakes from the Winter Skies Stamp Set and white embossing powder. 

I place my cozy little family on a snowy surface cut from white cardstock using the Stitched Hillside Border Die.  I dusted up the edges of the snow and igloo with a little Broken China Distressed Oxide Ink to give it a little dimension.  The igloo’s inside glo was created by blending Squeezed Lemonade and Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide Ink. 

I colored my little friends with Copic Markers.  My bears were a combination of W00, W1, and W3.  The scarves were blended with reds and greens.

I don’t know about you, but I sure would enjoy spending Christmas Eve with these little guys.

I created her with the Holiday Hustle Stamp from Unity Stamp Co., and she has all the fabulous flair of a 1950s holiday hostess—equal parts merry, mod, and marvelous. I set her against patterned paper from The Tinsel Years collection, the perfect backdrop for all that retro sparkle. I am completely smitten with this paper!

Snow Laughing Matter

Maybe it is the moonlight, or maybe it is the glow from the streetlight, but this goofy little snowman has one very important question: does this carrot make his nose look big? Decked out in his Santa hat and looking as cute as can be, he seems just a tiny bit concerned about that perfectly pointy nose. Personally, I think he is snow much fun and absolutely just right!

I created this playful little card using the new Snow Laughing Matter set by Pajama Crafter Stamps, and it was such a fun one to bring to life.

This card came together pretty quickly, which makes it even sweeter! After masking off my stamped image, I ink blended the nighttime background and added that bright little streetlamp glow to help our frosty friend shine.

I colored this chilly little cutie with the following Copic marker colors:

• G03, G16, G19
• Y00, Y02, Y06
• Y18, Y35, YR07
• R08, R46, R39
• B0000, B00
• W1, W3, W5
• BG90
• C0

So what do you think—is his carrot nose “just right”? Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today. I hope this sweet, silly snowman inspires you to create a flaky little friend of your own!
