This is the THIRD post for today. SCROLL DOWN!

Yeah, totally crazy, I know ๐Ÿ˜€ But isn’t it fun to see so much in ONE place?

It’s a lot of TYPING, and who knows if you are READING it, but if you skip that long winded mess I usually type up daily, I can’t say I blame you ๐Ÿ˜€

Now lets PRAY I remeber all the info you need, and get everything done without forgettign something major.

Im loving Melissa’s Lily & Billy Winter set. Its from Pink Cat Studio and is being released Thursday the 6th. The samples are all from one set, and today I have 2 cards to share!

Also don’t miss theBLOG, for more samples,ย and your chance to win!

The first one use the entire image-

There is NOTHING as awesome as red & white together. Im not a red & white person but I adore the color combo. Maybe its a subliminal message from my TARGET loving receptors in my brain ๐Ÿ˜€

I wanted some really cool POP of color, and I love how the red brings out all the other colors I used too. The blue, green and orange really look nice against it.

More using my chunky glitter! Get this Martha Stewart has some chunky glitter. I was told about it, and RAN to Michaels. Well, itsย not as chunky as this, for $10 for the large jar! Mine was only $2.99!! AND I think its prettier. I warned you that you would be seeing this on like every creation I make this week ๐Ÿ˜€ Im loving it. I think it makes it look like they actually pushed through the snow, don’t you?

On Lily’s jacket I did whip out the Liquid Applique! That is a winter card time staple for any paper-crafter.

Now my cool snowflakes in the bkgd, THAT my friends is the pink snowflake punch from Marvy. I punched out some sticky sheets I got from Scor-Pal. You can make any shape sticker, or use it for lots of cool things (ideas to follow ๐Ÿ˜€ soon). I then stuck the sticky punched snowflakes and glittered them up. Looks totally cool in person.

Now I have 2 more samples-one is really cool, but Im saving it for the release day :C sorry!

But this one is cool too-

Dashing through the snow…………

He’s down………..

This is an interactive card. I used the SAME image as the card above, I just cut Billy out, and made him able to JUMP, up and down in the snow ๐Ÿ˜€

Now he’s up………

Pretty cute huh?

I just used the slider card idea to make him do this.

He jumps up & down in the glittered snowhills.

I love the guava and pumpkin colors together! Who would have thought, cute snow card color? Its different, and I really like non-traditional colors like that. I actually made this for the Pink Cat Studio challenge, then remembered we couldn’t use a new release :C So I had to wait.

Oh well, better late than never.

So for my bkgd I used an OLD SU! punch. One of my faves. I just punched some flakes and then lightly tapped on some white craft ink! Its dulls the guava, and makes it more “snowy” looking. Add some white flakes using a singlo gel pen and you are ready for a snow-day!

For my sentiment, I was going for a soft & subtle look so I applied my vellum OVER the sentiment instead if behind. It give a nice & soft look, that doesn’t overpower the main image.

I love it. You can tell I had fun using those lil clippies and polka-dot ribbon too. I think when you enjoy something, or the creative process just flows you can really see it in the end result! So remember to have FUN!

OK I need to go now. Its late at night, and I may noe make sense anymore. Plus family calls. Wait till you see my last card using this set on Thursday! Oh boy! REALLY cool ๐Ÿ˜€

As always, thank you for reading.

Later
