One more Ice Cold entry from an ice-cold part of the country (30 below zero windchills forecast for later today. Now that means BRRRy cold!) I'm glad that this little cutie from All Dressed Up, has a furry friend to keep her warm.

     Note- this digi doesn’t appear to be available on ADU’s Etsy site, but for a short time it is one of the many free digital images available from an FB Advent Challenge. You can find details, HERE.

Supplies: 

·   Digi- All Dressed Up Digital Stamp (Christmas Bear)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Assorted Snowflake Stickers- Hobby Lobby

Outlawz Challenge- December 2022 Linky

The monthly sketches at the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers group {BYSHC} usually inspire me to use some of the many scraps of my patterned papers. I liked the December sketch so I pulled out my scrap box and got busy. I found two patterns of snowflake paper that were almost big enough… but did require some piecing together “behind the scenes” to match the sketch. Computer-generated sentiments adhered atop a few strips of another snowflake paper, and some die cut into circles of vellum, provide a base for the tired elf in a cup!  

 

Supplies: 

·   Digi- The Paper Shelter Digital Stamp (Nap In A Cup)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Sentiments- Computer Generated (except Merry Christmas tag is from my scrapbook stash)

·   A small feather, patterned paper, and  other items from my stash.

My final card for this blog features a yummy digi from Beccy’s Place that just explodes with Christmas. So of course, I had to give it center stage on a card that includes a party with lots of color, layers, and shapes, plus a bit of bling on the inside sentiment. So fun!

I’m entering this card into several challenges including Cupcake Inspirations- Happy Holidays (both the cupcake in the photo and the mug are mounded with clouds of yumminess. They remind me of  the many treats we’ll have in the coming weeks. And that I’d better get my fat pants out!!)

Supplies: 

·   Digi and inside sentiments from a Beccy’s Place Digi Set (Christmas Cheer)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Front Sentiment- QKR Stampede Digital Stamp (Merry Christmas) Also available in unmounted or cling-mounted
