Winter Cheer!

Hi Everyone my day to post at
oh you need to hop over
some beautiful cards this week and on
Wednesday the most adorable gift card holder!
Today I am featuring one of Mary's
newest stamp sets
I made both these cards in no time at all
this little snowman has stolen my heart!
He's from
"Winter Cheer"


I inked him with versa fine and heat embossed
with clear embossing powder.
I add some stickles and glossy accents
on a base of white glitter paper.
and a bow.

on this card I did some water color inking with
some Tim Holtz distress inks
I put all three of the snow flake stamps from the set
on a block and stamped them randomly on the card
with versa mark ink. I heat set them with Hero Arts
Detailed white embossing powder.
I added some real buttons and a little holly on his hat...

Two Christmas cards done
many more to go but it's a start!

Hope everyone enjoys their day!
