Let it Snow

Winter's here! After an unusually warm December and Christmas winter arrived this week with a bit of snow on Monday which inspired this wintry card. 

I can't believe that just last week I was vacationing in Savannah, Georgia, enjoying all the sights wearing a t-shirt all day, everyday. It was glorious! 

It is winter, however, and here in North Carolina our state tree is the long leaf pine...reminiscent of the pine branch and pine cone stamps on my accent tag. 

Though I'm not a fan of the cold, there is so much beauty in the wintertime! And it's perfect for spending time in my cozy craft room!

Let it Snow

I love all the snowy scenes I've been seeing on Facebook and Instagram lately. All that pretty white stuff makes me want to get out my snowy stamps and dies and play. 

When you create your own paper snowflakes you can step outside the box and make them any color you like! 

Red, white and blue and a few stars too...looking a little patriotic and oh so colorful! 

Maybe the next time it's snowing in your neck of the woods you can craft up a little snowstorm inside? Enjoy!

Let it Snow

A couple weeks ago I shared a photo with you on Facebook and Instagram of some stars I made with Fun Stampers Journey Treat Box and Glass Glitter. Well...I finally put a couple of those sparkly stars on a card. 

I thought they would look great with some white embossed snowflakes. 

I also used one of the wooden Star Frames to cover in glass glitter. I like, how about you? 

Looking at this reminds me of all the snowy pictures I've spied on Facebook lately. There's a lot of snow falling! Stay warm and enjoy!

Let it Snow

Today I have a clean and simple snowy card to share with you. This one can be done quickly with just one stamp set, making it easy to duplicate for sending multiples. 

I love the Winter Wonderland stamp set I used for this project because of it's images of nature. 

I used a couple of the smaller stamps, the pine branch and pine cone, to make a patterned paper looking edge on the right side of the card. 

To separate each side, I used Cocoa powder gingham ribbon and added a bit of twine on top.

I considered adding glitter to the snowy branches of the tree, but I liked keeping with a more organic feel.

Let it Snow

Like it or not...here comes the snow! I don't like shoveling snow or the cold it brings, but I do love making paper snowflakes for cards and scrapbook pages, how about you? 

I created this big beautiful flake with three different dies and topped it with a Sparkle Drop accent to give it the sparkle of a real snowflake.

The background is a combination of a Script background stamp, some silver Splash and a couple Whip Cream stamped snowflakes. 

Accents include River Stone Satin Ribbon, sequins, and Whip Cream Journey Thread. I really like this soft and snowy color palette!

Let it Snow & Giveaway

What a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend it has been! The tree is up and the decorations are set out. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here! And last night I managed to squeeze in a little crafting time and created this snowy card.

The snowflake and 'Let it Snow' sentiment are Papertrey Ink stamps from their Tiny Treasures Christmas collection.

Do you love the big glittered snowflake? My friend and I found a bag of them at my local Goodwill store on one of our recent outings. I was tickled pink to find them because I knew they would make great accents on my holiday projects!

I have enough of these snowflakes to sell in my Etsy shop if you would like some click here. I would also like to give away a set of three to one person who leaves a comment on this post. I will randomly draw a name from the comments left between now and Thursday, December 2nd. The winner will be announced this Friday, December 3rd! :)

Thanks for stopping in! I'll be back tomorrow with a scrapbook page share. Hope to 'see' you then! :) Kathy
