Wintry Birthday Card

 Merry Christmas everyone!

This is the last card I want to share with you this year. It's a birthday card with lovely snowmen that I think fits perfectly at this time of year.

I have used a digi image that I colored up with my Copic pens. I also added some Glossy Accents, dry glitter and Star Dust Stickles. For the frame I used the Large Frames Frilly #7 dies from Go Create. The numbers were die-cut with Mama Elephant dies and for the Grattis (Congrats) I used one Gummiapan die.

That´s about it, I think.

Thanks so much for stopping by this busy time of year!

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Hugs, Birgit

 Hello there crafters!

I have a card to share today using Sizzix Tim Holtz "Mr. Snowman" dies. It fits well because we have had an early winter here where I live, cold and snow.

I colored the snowman with my Copic Pens and Distress inks. I have also used Mandys God Jul die. The background was made with the Endearing stencil from Panny Black and some Crackle Texture Paste which I colored in with green ink. I also stamped a few different snowflakes and finished of with some pearls.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

 Hello and Happy December everyone!

For today's Christmas card I have used the Poinsettia Wreath stamp from Penny Black and watercolors. Also, I have dusted off an old corner die from Nellie Snellen, it is one of the first ones I bought many years ago but never use for any reason...

...for this card, I thought it turned out well. I also used a die from Memory Box to create the bow. For the sentiment I used a Svenska Textstämplar stamp and white embossing pouder. Some Gold Stickles, Pearls and Rhinestones finished of my card.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!
