Wishing you comfort and joy

It makes me so happy when a card comes together quickly. Bonus when it uses up scrappy pieces that have been lying around for a while! (Don't tell me I'm the only one who cuts up lots of die cut pieces and then don't know what to do with them 😅)

The "falling snow" on the top and bottom edges - it could also pass for coffee beans! 😄

Sending warm fuzzies

My little Lawn Fawn Sweater Weather paper pad is dwindling, but it was good to use up some of the scraps in this card; I even did a bit of paper piecing on the toque and scarf. I like how this one turned out :) As usual, those YNS Christmas chickies crack me up!

Let it snow...

The idea for this card came from an MFT sketch from a few weeks ago. I finally completed it after getting the YNS snowy mountains edge die (woot woot for sales). I can now make lots of fun winter scenes for those mischievous YNS Christmas chickies, yay!

 Hello!

The inspiration for this card came from the Coffee Loving Cardmakers' Sunday Sip and Share:

I embossed snowflakes where the large circles are in the sketch, and falling snow where the small circles are, but they appear much more subtle than I would like, and I'm not sure that they even show up in the photo. Ah well. Live and learn!

The chickie is from the ever-adorable Your Next Stamp Christmas Chickie, and I created the sentiment using the Concord and 9th Perfectly Penned set. This letter set is completely amazeballs. It's so forgiving and I want to stamp it literally everywhere. 

This card is for Christina Hor's Cards for Little Hearts card drive - there's still time!

Christmas chickies pull tab card

I had fun making my tea bag (faux-) pull tab card recently. This card is a proper pull tab card where the chickie can happily ski back and forth.

I love those chickies from Your Next Stamp! The Merry Christmas was heat-embossed three times so it stands out.

This card is for Christina Hor's Cards for Little Hearts card drive.

Side step card - cup of happiness

 

This is my first side step card (side-step card? side step-card? My inner grammar police is still thinking about it), idea as inspired by the Coffee Loving Cardmakers' Caseing DT link-up party #13. I've used basically all the stamps in the YNS Cup of Happiness set! 

The white is a shimmery cardstock; my apologies for the brightness of the photos. Some of the marshmallow dudes are on foam dots, and some are layered twice for varying depths. There is some acetate behind the back ladder so that it looks above the fold.

Let it snow

More Christmas card fun! The sketch is from Scrapbooks and Cards Today's May card sketch challenge:

... and I think it turned out pretty cute. The pattern paper is a Michaels' Recollections paper pack that I picked up in the post-Christmas clearance :)

Again, this card is in preparation for Christina Hor's Cards for Little Hearts card drive.

Merry Christmas!

This is the earliest I have ever started on Christmas cards! But I found this suuuuuper cute Gerda Steiner Designs Christmas tree digi, and thought I would start early for Christina Hor's Cards for Little Hearts card drive.
