Crazy 4 Challenges ~ Snowmen &/or Snowflakes!!!!

It's Saturday!!!! YAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!

I have to take Mary to field hockey and then tonight she has a birthday party to attend. I hope to fit a little stamping in somewhere in between! Today's C4C challenge is to make a snowman and/or snowflake card!

This is a really easy card based LOOSELY on Julee's Mojo Monday sketch from over a week ago! I didn't add the little tag off to the left so that is why it is LOOSELY based on Julee's sketch! I also used last weeks CAS color challenge of using brown and red!

The base of this card is Chocolate Chip and is 4 1/4" square. The next layers are first Shimmery white CS and then THIS DP from Imaginisce. I used my Janome Sew Mini to stitch around the snowflake paper. The trees in the center are from Verve's, Christmas in the air and were stamped on the shimmery white CS using Chocolate Chip ink. I stamped them again on other patterns of DP from the same Imaginisce DP collection. I then cut them out and mounted them on top of some mounds of "snow" that I made from the Shimmery White CS which I covered with clear Martha Stewart glitter. I cut the image using my circle Nesties and then while the image was still in the die, I free hand pierced around the top portion. I matted this image on a circle of Chocolate Chip CS.

Here is another card I made using the same snowflake paper ~

The base of this card is Kraft CS with a mat of PTI Vintage Cream CS and then the same Imaginisce DP. The top and bottom decorative piece is THIS Spellbinders die which I used to cut the decorative frame from PTI Vintage Cream CS. I then used THESE Spellbinders dies to make the Vintage Cream "frame" around the image. The image is from Serendipity Stamps and is called Christmas Chapel. I stamped the image on Kraft CS using Black Momento ink. I did a little highlighting using my Cool Shadow Copic marker and then added clear Martha Stewart glitter using my Quickie glue pen. The tree and star were stamped again and cut out then popped up using dimensionals. I added the small white pearls from THIS Zva pearl set and to add color to the star, I used Christmas Red Stickles.
