A Winter Card

Here is a card I made a couple of weeks ago which I never posted.  It is a graphic from Dezinaworld of  two girls in the snow with a large muff.  The graphic had a lavendar tint to it so I put it on  a lavendar piece of cardstock to bring out the color in the image.  The small flower is from an unknown rubber stamp I borrowed from a friend.  I did not stamp the entire image as I wanted just a part of it in the corner.   As a final touch I used two brads on the upper right side.

Challenge #33 - "Let it Snow"

Happy New Year everyone! My new Design Team is starting off the new year right with a familiar theme. "Let it Snow" They are showcasing some great images from Dezinaworld. The images are from a newly released sheet. Aren't they beautiful?

I thought this was the perfect image for a wall hanging.  My picture doesn't show it, but the canvass is completely covered with lace.  I first made a wash of Gesso and acrylic paint and then applied the image.  Afterwards,  I completely covered the background with lace.  The word "snow" was from an embellishment that I found at Wal-Mart.  It was a border, but I cut it apart and used on the word with a couple of snowflakes. 

The flower is made with a Tim Holtz die and was cut partially from glitter paper and partially from blue cardstock.  Behind the flower are some blue and silver ribbon loops.  Finally I finished the wall hanging with just a couple of snowflakes cut from glitter paper.

I've altered a drink coaster with Gesso and paint and stippled blue paint through some sequin cut out to make the background look like snowflakes. I used some textured pink paper and little "Winter Wonderland" tab also from Dezinaworld plus some pink braid to make a little hanger and finish off the bottom.

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a very good start into the New Year! I had the pleasure to play with some wonderful images from Dezinaworld, this month's sponsor at the Cheerful Stamp Pad. These two girls look so sweet together with snowflakes swirling around them. To continue the snowflake theme I used a 'giant' cardboard snowflake as base. It is glittered with Stickles Star Dust and layered with musical note paper (Kaisercraft), a little rosette made of crepe paper and the image which I glittered around the edge with Stickles as well. The final touches are some blings and a printed sentiment on some patterned paper (CosmoCricket) cut with Nestabilities labels.

Living in northern Michigan's snowbelt, I love to decorate with snow items after the Christmas decor comes down.  I wanted something I could hang on a pegboard so I came up with this little piece.

First I cut the frame out of chipboard using my Cricut and Sure Cuts A Lot program.  I painted it white, added crackle paint and sparkly Stickles.  I then cut acetate snowflakes which I pounced pearl alcohol ink over.  I attached them to the frame using 3-D ScrapDots.  The large snowflake has a clear gem in the middle and all the flakes have Liquid Pearl details.  The photo was printed on cardstock, matted and placed behind acetate.  I stamped "Snow" on top of the acetate and finished with a beaded hanger.

I love Dezinaworld images and there is such a great variety of treats to choose for your art.  I loved the pinks in this image so I set it off with pink and silver papers from the Paper Temptress.  I kept it simple since this lovely image is so special.

Hi - I'm Jenn, and I decided to stick with the "Let it Snow" Christmas carol as my theme, so I used some musical DP from My Mind's Eye.  I printed my sentiment and image on Very Vanilla cardstock and roughed them up with brown ink and Log Cabin Smooch Spritz to maintain that vintage look.  Vintage brads were the final touch.

Dezinaworld

I am thrilled to have Dezinaworld as my sponsor for my  first challenge in 2012.  The majority of the images that the Design Team has used in the above creations are from the image sheet that they just released.  Go to their site and check out all of their wonderful images.  I am sure you will find something there that is perfect for your next project.  They  will be furnishing a very nice prize for the winning entry which will be chosen by the random generator.

More Warm Ladies from Dezinaworld

We are beginning the second week of "Let it Snow"  The DT has made a few more inspirational pieces.  Now we want to see what you create using snow as the theme. All of the women dressed to keep warm are lovely digitals from Dezinaworld.  The challenge will close at midnight on January 15 so you have plenty of time to enter.

 I decided to make a collage tag.  I  had started the background of this tag about a month ago and was hestitate to finish it as i didn't know what else I wanged to do.  This girl with her sled was the perfect answer.  A couple of punched snowflakes was the final touch.

Michele

I love this "Winter Warmers" set from Dezinaworld and could not resist making another piece with it! For my ATC I also used a Dezinaworld background called "Fur." I used some Tim Holtz tissue tape, a lacy border and a little blue snowflake from a border set by K & Company. Please join the fun!

Petra

Another delightful image from this month's sponsor Dezinaworld - I used it to create a little card. The base is A6 white card which I layered with patterend paper from BoBunny. After attaching the image I added a doily, a strip of patterend BoBunny paper and a corner embellishment for the image. Buttons, small satin ribbon, big bold letters covered with Star Dust Stickles and little glitzy snowflakes are the final touches for the card.

Sharon

I've used another beautiful image from June's "Winter Warmers" collage sheet along with a background which is also from Dezinaworld. I've sponged "worn white" paint over the entire card to look like snow!

Cindy

I made a tag using the foil/acrylic paint embossing technique Tim Holtz demoed in his recent "12 Tags of Christmas". On top of that is a foiled chipboard frame that I glued Diamond Dust glitter to. I printed this cutie with her sled on cardstock and mounted it to the frame behind a piece of acetate. A foil rosette, fabric brad and vintage tinsel top the tag. Painted and stamped bingo markers spell out "Snow". The bottom of the tag is finished with sparkly lace and more tinsel.

Valerie

Hi you all. I have made a tag from patterned paper, covered with a piece of blue sparkly gauze. I have kept to snowflakes for the decoration and 2 little TH houses. The whole tag has been framed, to make it look like the view through a window!

Jenn

This is Jenn - I made a simple little mini card, sprayed my cardstock with Cherry and Bubblegum Glimmer Mists, added some pink pearl stickers and pink ribbon, and kept it simple.  

A Thank You Card

I love the images from Dezinaworld, my sponsor for the current challenge. Their images are so versatile. You can do so much with them. This lovely lady wears a victorian hat with many feathers. I did not use any particular technique for this card as the image is the main focal point.  

I made this card for a special friend as a thank you for giving me a large pack of kraft-colored cardstock for Christmas.
