Let it Snow, let it snow, MAKE IT STOP

Happy July 1st Canada! There are a ton of celebrations going on in my neck of the woods, how about yours? Its also the first of the month so a new release from Doodle Pantry and what a release it is! I'm a little behind in my Christmas cards so I chose Doodle Pantry's Quirky Snowmen to work with.

I did a legal size card so I could get all three snowmen on. The first snowman has a few snowflakes falling, the second a few more, the third snowmen is in a blizzard, lol! The snowflakes turned out pretty light so if you click on the photo you can get a better look. Take a look at Doodle Pantry's Digi Grab bag, the items in there are marked down 25%, what a great deal! DPDC#25 starts at Noon EST hop on over and give the challenge a try, there's a free digi in it for you!

Snowman Fun

I had promised myself that I'd do at least one Christmas card a month and it seems like its been forever since I've done one. I decided on a circle card they look so nice and are fast...usually.

I used the spellbinders circles and added the snowflakes 

Added some stickles and clouds and it only took 3 hours to decide what to do. See very fast, lol!

Snow Buddies

I had another fantastic day stamping with my friend Glenda and this is the card I made.I had originally coloured the snowmen's hats black but decided to change them to green. 

They were coloured with alcohol markers so I used the colourless blender to erase as much of the black as possible. Then I coloured over them with green, the result is the hats look like felt IRL. The photo doesn't do them justice. 

The inside says "Merry Christmas from your snowbuddies!"
