I'm featuring this sweet NEW YNS Digi stamp called Tobi's Dearest Dear...how darling is this little girl Tobi and here sweet woodland friend. I had so much fun colouring up this festive image with my Copics.

I made the card 6X6 and used BasicGrey Aspen Frost 6X6 paper pad. I cut the image out with Mini Album Bracket Die-namics and re-cut it so that I had the bracket edge on both sides of the panel.  I left the image in the die and inked with Tumbled Glass Distress ink. I also added some Liquid Applique for the snowflakes and puffed it up with the heat tool. I cut a few snowflakes from glittery corrugated cardstock with the Let it Snow Die-namics.

I also added Stickles for a little sparkle and stamped a sentiment on a tag and attached it with a Sno Cone button and hemp cord.

Catered Crop, Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and DS128...Cuddle up and Keep Warm!


Hello stampin' friends! Well, we have snow here and all I want to do is cuddle up and keep warm with a cup of cocoa, just like this sweet little bear and his friend! I made this card for the FUN challenge over at the Catered Crop Recipe Swap - Animal House! I'm SO honoured to have the chance to join the Catered Crop DT for this week's Catered Crop Swap challenge...make a card or project with an animal image.  I also used the great sketch that they have at the Deconstructed Sketch # 128 and the challenge over at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge - Let it Snow.  the KKSC was the perfect chance to use this sweet little Rachelle Anne Miller Stamp - Cuddle up & Keep Warm stamp that I won from entering the KKS challenge # 204....thanks, Kimmie!

I made my card 6X6 from Kraft cardstock and matted with MFT Replenishments Heavyweight Card Stock in Red Hot, Gumdrop Green and Natural and I used BasicGrey 25th and Pine 6X6 paper pad.  I paper pieced the little Cuddle Up and Keep Warm bear and shaded with my Copics. I cut the image out with the Pierced Circle STAX and left the image in the die and inked with Spun Sugar Distress Ink.  I added a few corrugated snowflakes for the "Let it Snow" challenge over at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge, with the Let it Snow Die-namics. I added Red Hot buttons tied with hemp cord to the centers of the snowflakes. I stamped the sentiment that comes with the Cuddle Up and Keep Warm Stamp set with Red Hot Premium Dye Ink on Primitive White Heavyweight Card Stock and cut it out with Fishtail Flags Die-namics.

Here is the inside...I stamped a shadow image of the Cuddle Up bear in Gumdrop Green Premium Dye Ink and used a sentiment from the KKS Santa and Pup stamp set. I also added a little Holiday Trinket from the KKS Holiday Trinkets Stamp set.

Thanks SO much for stopping by and havin' a wee peek at the card that I made for the Catered Crop Recipe Swap - Animal House, DS128 and Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge - Let it Snow!

I used MFT Replenishments Heavyweight Card Stock in Kraft, Sno Cone, Steel Blue, Chocolate Brown and Primitive White. I pulled out the fabulous LJD Snowflake Splendor and the coordinating LJD Snowflakes Splendor Die-namics and stamped some pretty snowflakes with Steel Blue, Kraft, Chocolate Brown and Sno Cone Premium Dye Ink. I added Kraft buttons tied with hemp cord to the centres of the snowflakes.

I also used the Peek-a-Boo Dots Die-namics and the Pierced Circle STAX and Circle STAX Die-namics. I stamped one of the sentiments from the Snowflake Splendor Stamp set in Chocolate Brown Premium Dye Ink.
