Hello my friends!
Today is the start of a new challenge at
Our sponsor for this challenge is The Cutting Cafe.
And this is the inspiration photo:
What a gorgeous little girl. She's so excited, I can almost hear her squealing with happiness!
How will she inspire you?
Maybe it's the colours, or the gift, or her mittens and bob cap?
Remember our challenge is always Anything Goes, so you can make anything you like - it doesn't have to be a card. We'd love to see your project!
I was lucky to get a cutting file from The Cutting Cafe. Now, I don't have a cutting machine, but that's not a problem since as well as SVG and WPC files, the download includes a PDF file for printing out, then hand cutting. There are full instructions in the download on how to assemble the projects.
Here is my Snowman Shaker Card:
I hope you like him!
I printed the PDF files out onto white card. I cut out the snowman card shape and all the accessories. I decided to heat emboss the head and feet section, as well as the shaker front, using Snowflake Tinsel embossing powder. The hat, mittens and scarf were cut out of patterned card. I decided to put some Fluffy Puffy Stuff from Inkilicious onto the mitten cuffs and hat headband - this is heat activated and fluffs up to give dimension and texture. The bob on the cap is a tiny pompom from some trim I had in my stash. The holly berries on his headband are tiny ivory flat back pearls which I coloured with alcohol markers. My snowman has moveable goggly eyes and his nose has glossy accents to make it shine. His tummy is filled with iridescent glitter and tiny stars.
Thanks for stopping by today.
