Double Trouble Challenge #96

Troublemaker at Double Trouble Challenge is stuck on the letter "T".  Hence the current challenge is to make a Tall card using Thin Dies.

I used rectangular Dies from LDRS Creative and a wreath die from SU.   The Twinkley little snowman is a dazzles sticker, as are the Two birds.  Teal is the color of the background mat and the bottom wreath.  I added Three snowflakes and tiny red gems in Three sets of Three.  The Merry Christmas, a CTMH stamp, was stamped directly on printable glitter paper. 

This looks so much prettier in person with all the white glitter against the red glitter mat.

 

 For another fun snowman card, check out my previous post where Olaf makes an appearance for Send a Smile 4 Kids.

My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge # 524

This Beautiful Bloom stamp and die from My Favorite Things turned out to be perfect for their current sketch challenge.

The flower is colored with pencils and waterbrushed to blend.  The middle one also has a heavy layer of clear Wink of Stella to give it a pretty shine and popped on a piece of craft foam die cut in the same shape.  I used an embossing folder from CTMH to emboss the top and bottom of the card.  There is a light pink vellum banner under the sentiment banner.  The sentiment is also from MFT.

Tall & Skinny Christmas Card

For those who send out Christmas letters with their Christmas cards, these tall and skinny cards are perfect.  I put my letter on top of the card before sliding it into the envelope.  That way the center brad on the flower won't poke through the envelope.

I saw a card similar to this on Pinterest.  This is my version with the card front featuring gold dazzles and Sizzix die cut poinsettia and sentiment.
 

 

The inside has more gold dazzles (they show up much better in this picture), rectangle die cut by SU, green circle die cut by Sizzix, and sentiment stamp from Sparkle n Sprinkle.
