Happy New Year to all my blogging friends, followers and visitors!!
Hello everyone, I am here bright and early sharing my first card of the new year for the January Four Seasons challenge. We're in the midst of winter and we would love to see all your winter themed creations. We do have a fabulous mood board (see below) but it is just for your inspiration as "Anything Winter Goes".
My card features a beautiful designer paper from the Stamperia 8x8 paper pack
called The Owl's House.
Unfortunately it appears that it's been discontinued but available
here in 12x12 size for US shipping. I'm
not one to normally use a lot of patterned papers but I fell in love with some Stamperia
papers when I saw them featured somewhere in the blogging world. I purchased 3
other paper packs at the same time and hope they won't just be hoarded!!
But I do have another card to share with you soon from this particular paper
pack.
This was really easy to make too, I simply stamped the sentiment (from the
Penny Black set Holiday Snippets)
directly onto the designer paper then added the diecut snowflakes (Penny Black
Dancing Snowflakes). I added stickles
glitter onto the snowy branches and sewed around the card before adhering it
to a kraft 110lb card base from Michaels.

This is so beautiful!! And how fabulous that the patterned paper does most of the work! Thanks for playing with Cut It Up Challenge.
ReplyDeleteTraumhaft schön, liebe Ellie. Dieses Papier ist ja zum Verlieben und Deine Nähte am Rand begeistern mich total, das schaut so genial aus. Diesen wundervollen Spruch von Penny Black mag ich auch so gerne.
