Building Snowman by Lemon Shortbread Digital Stamps

 Hi friends!  Here I am again with my final Christmas card for 2020.  I made this card for the Lemon Shortbread Challenge Blog's last challenge for this year. 

http://lemonshortbreadchallenge.blogspot.com/ 

This adorable image is "Building Snowman" by Lemon Shortbread, found here:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/479419633/digital-stamp-winter-building-snowman?ref=shop_home_active_117&pro=1

This sweet image brings back such fond memories of when my sons and I used to build snowmen when they were little.  We used to live in upstate New York right off Lake Ontario, and we had so much lake effect snow. Such fun!

I drew the background and added white flocking powder to her ear muffs.  I coloured the image with my Copics and Polychromos.

I wish you a wonderful and happy New Year.  Hopefully, it will be better than 2020.  Hugs to you, Lori xx

Snowman and Birdie Friends by Conie Fong

Hi!  I hope you all had a happy weekend.  I love this sweet image and so I made a 2nd shaker card with it.  You can find "Snowman and Birdie Friends" in Conie's etsy shop here:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/545580222/sale-digital-stamp-digi-stamp-digistamp?ref=shop_home_active_26

As a DT member for Conie, I made this for her monthly Facebook Challenge. 

https://www.facebook.com/groups/396730687168777/

I used a mason jar rubber stamp, fussy cut it (leaving 1/8 inch border around the image), and used 3-D pop dots to raise the jar so I could place the shaved ice into it.  I stamped the image again on silver paper and cut the lid out so it looks more realistic.

I coloured the image with Copics and  FC pencils.  I cut the snowflake and the snowflake corner twice and offset both die cuts to create some depth.  Enjoy your day.  xx

Materials and Tools Used 

Stamp:         Hot Fudge Studio "Mason Jar" rubber stamp

Corner:        Memory Box "Snowflake Corner" die

Snowflake:  Impression Obsession "Snowflakes" die 024-x

Title:            Designs by Winther free clipart

Bells, ribbon, Swarovski crystals, Magic Scraps Shaved Ice, glittered paper, and silver paper are from my stash.

Snowman and Birdie Friends by Conie Fong

Hi!  I hope you are enjoying your weekend.  I am definitely not a summer person.  It's been in the high 80's here and very humid.  Mosquitoes and bugs everywhere.  Yuck!  I do, however, love the long days, beautifully coloured flowers, and the lush grass and trees.  

The theme for Conie Fong's Facebook challenge this month is "Always Anything Goes" with an option of "Create a Shaker Card".  

https://www.facebook.com/groups/396730687168777/

In addition to the monthly challenge, there is also a monthly Colouring Only challenge.  

I made a shaker card a few years ago, so this is only my second one.  Here is my DT inspirational card:

I used Copic markers and Polychromos pencils to colour this sweet image.  The poinsettia is handmade.  I decided to make some falling snow around the image with Nuvo glitter drops.  The shaker itself is filled with Shaved Ice and tiny snowflakes.  Have a nice weekend.  xx

Snowman with Baubles by Conie Fong

Hi, crafty friends!  It's hard to believe that Christmas is almost upon us.   We are expecting some snow on Christmas eve, so it will look like a winter wonderland here on Christmas day.  How perfect!  I have always loved snow!

I chose this delightful image "Snowman with Baubles" for my DT inspiration card.  You can find it in Conie's etsy shop here: 

https://www.etsy.com/listing/486610997/digital-stamp-digi-stamp-digistamp?ref=shop_home_active_35&crt=1

I created this card for Conie's monthly Facebook challenge.  Conie is offering an adorable free snowman digital image this month, and a couple of other freebies, too.  Check it out here:

In addition, Conie's Facebook group will give you information on some amazing giveaways that she is offering on Kit and Clowder's Facebook group.  Don't miss out on these festivities.  

As always, I have used my favourite mediums to colour this darling image (Copic markers and FC Polychromos pencils).  I wish you the special gifts of this beautiful holiday season...peace, joy and lasting happiness.  

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!  Hugs, Lori P xx
