Less is More #455 - Winter Whites

 Hi and happy Saturday!

We Whisk you a Merry Christmas

Hello!

Over the last couple of days I did this card bit by bit. I'm not well at the moment so when I could, I stamped the images. Later I coloured and die cut them. Then, today I assembled everything together and completed my card.

I have a couple new Lawn Fawn sets (is there an online addiction group??? I need help....). 'Baked with Love' was added to the collection to pair with my other newish set 'A Creature was Stirring'. 

I think these sets are just adorable!

Magic Picture Changer

 The Lawn Fawn magic picture changer die has been around for some time, but I have only just added it to my stash. I've loved making interactive cards for years and any die set that will help me create them easier, I have to have!

I started with a fairly basic scene for my first time making this card. I stamped the dog then created a mask so I could stamp the fireplace and rug 'behind' him. The trick was stamping it a second time and trying to get the colouring somewhat similar.

I also used the Magic Picture Changer Add-on (the rectangle die) to frame my scene.

When you pull the tab, it is revealed that on the night before Christmas, the dog is dreaming about a yummy bone!

I had some spare presents that I had already coloured to add. The sentiment was heat embossed and die cut using LF Extra Sentiment Banners.

All stamps (except the previously coloured presents) are from the LF Christmas Dreams set.

The base of my card is a panel I had previously created with brusho and mica powders.

I would like to enter my card over at the following challenges -

Christmas 24 (Christmas Night), Christmas Crafts all Year 'Round (I = Interactive Card), 12 Months of Christmas (Anything Goes), Crafty Catz (As cute as you like), CRAFT (Christmas), Fezziwigs (Sentimental), Watercooler Wednesdays (Any Occasion), Simon Says Stamp (Four Legged Friends), NBUS (Anything New Goes)

Thank you for popping in today, enjoy your weekend xx

Christmas Slimline Card

 Creating this slimline card was fun :) I stamped and coloured a HEAP of images then die cut them out.

I cut out the snow slopes with the Lawn Fawn Hillside Border dies and adhered them to my card. With them in place, I started arranging all my pieces for a fun scene.

I took a photo of the set up for memory purposes then tried another couple of arrangements. This is the end result.

I have used a number of Lawn Fawn stamp and die sets creating this card -

Tiny Christmas, Winter Village, Home for the Holidays, Car Critters Add-on, Snow Globe Scene, and Ho-Ho Holidays.

I would like to enter my card over at the following challenges -

Christmas Crafts All Year 'Round (Something starting with H - Homes), Crafty Hazlenut's Christmas (Anything Goes), Crafty Catz (Anything Goes), Colour Crazy Challenge (Anything Goes), Cut it Up (How's the Weather - Snow/Cold), Cardz 4 Girlz (Slimline Card)

Thanks for popping in today :)

Christmas Reveal Wheel

 I made this fun Christmas card using the Lawn Fawn Reveal Wheel die and fun stamps and die sets.

I actually started with the Reveal Wheel square add-on but then added all the snow layers down the bottom because I wanted to pop the little car in the scene.

I stamped and coloured my images from the Lawn Fawn sets - Reveal Wheel Sentiments, Reveal Wheel Holiday Sentiments, Winter Village, Car Critters Add-on, and Home for the Holidays. I die cut the silver stars using the Snow Globe shaker Add-on. I also added the Reveal Wheel Arc Frame Add-on for interest.

As you can see, the sentiment changes when you spin the wheel :)
