Frosty the Snowman

It's time for another challenge at Winter Wonderland and our theme is 'Use Red and Green'.  We are sponsored by Dr Digi's House of Stamps who are offering the winner two digi stamps of their choice.

To make this card I used:
     7" x 5" red embossed card blank
     Dr Digi's House of Stamps 'Frosty the Snowman digi stamp
     Imagine That 'Snowman Trio' digi sentiment stamp
     Promarkers
     Dark green and white matt card

I'm entering the following challenges:
     Bugaboo Weekly Challenge 'Anything Goes'
     Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge 'Anything Goes'
     Merry Little Christmas Challenge 'Anything Christmas Goes'

This is my final month on the Winter Wonderland Design Team - I've so many other projects at the moment that I've stepped down from DT duties.  This was a hard decision to make as I've been on the team for over three years.  A big thank you to Helen and the rest of the team for making it such fun to be part of this lovely DT.

With Love at Christmas

It's time for a new challenge at Winter Wonderland.  This is our Tribute Challenge to Eileen who was the former owner and DT coordinator of the blog.  Eileen sadly passed away a couple of years ago and this is our annual challenge in her memory.  We are sponsored by Dr Digi's House of Stamps and our theme is 'Anything Christmas Goes'.

I'm entering the Crafty Gals Corner 'Clean and Simple, challenge, Imagine That Digistamp Challenge 'Anything Goes' and Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge 'Anything Goes'.

5" x 5" white matt card blank
Dr Digi's House of Stamps ' Mistletoe' digi stamp
Lawn Fawn ' Outside In Stitched Square Stackables' die
Kars tan embossing mat
Computer generated sentiment 'Tempus Sans ITC' font
Promarker
Green textured card and white matt card
Glossy Accents
Wink of Stella

I trimmed the green textured card and attached it to the front of the card blank.  I resized the digi stamp and added the sentiment before printing onto white card.  This was die cut and embossed before the leaves were coloured with a green Promarker.  I cut a small piece of white card and attached it to the rear of the image before attaching the panel to the card front.  I added Glossy Accents to the berries and a Wink of Stella to the leaves.

Last Tree in the Shop

It's time for the final Winter Wonderland challenge of the year and our theme is 'Anything Christmas Goes'.   We are sponsored by Dr Digi's House of Stamps who are offering the lucky winner two digis from their online store.

I'm entering the Alphabet Challenge 'S is for Season's Greetings', ABC Christmas Challenge 'Z is for Zero Embellishments', Cardz 4 Galz 'Non-traditional Christmas colours' challenge, the Merry Little Christmas Challenge 'Anything Christmas Goes' and the Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge 'Anything Christmas Goes'.

Card blank: 7" x 5" white matt
Stamp: Dr Digi's House of Stamps 'Last Tree in the Shop' digi and Imagine That 'Snowman Trio'
Card: Purple pearlescent and white matt
Other: Wink of Stella

I resized the tree and sentiment digis and merged them in a Word document before printing onto white card.  I trimmed the panel and coloured the tree and baubles with Promarkers.  The panel was layered onto purple pearlescent card before being attached to the card front.  To finish I highlighted the star, baubles and sentiment with a Wink of Stella.

Rescue Squad

It's time for a new challenge at Winter Wonderland and our theme is 'Outdoor Fun.  We're sponsored by Dr Digi's House of Stamps who are offering the winner two digi stamps of their choice.

I'm entering the Cardz 4 Guyz 'Things with Tails' challenge, Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge 'Anything Christmas Goes' and The Merry Christmas Challenge 'Anything Goes + Christmas'.  I'm also heading over to the playground at Pixie's Crafty Workshop.

Card blank: 7" x 5" white silk
Image: Dr Digi's House of Stamps 'Rescue Squad'
Sentiment: Marianne Design 'Ice Skating Don' (magazine freebie)
Punch: Woodware Snowflake
Ink: Versafine Crimson Red
Colouring: Promarkers
Other: Stampendous White Fun Flock, Pearl Diamond Spray and Sparkle, Wink of Stella
Snippets: Tree background paper, red matt and white silk card

I trimmed the background paper, popped it into my MISTI and stamped the sentiment in the top corner - stamping it a couple of times to get a deep colour.  I layered the paper onto red card and attached it to the card blank.  I resized the digi and printed it onto white silk card.  This was fussy cut before being coloured with Promarkers.  I added Fun Flock to the edge of the hood and then attached the image to the lower corner of the card with foam tape.  I punched three snowflakes from white card and sprayed them with Spray and Sparkle before attaching them to the card.  To finish I highlighted the sentiment with a Wink of Stella.
