Time for even more Christmas Cards... :)

Ho ho ho together... It's time to showcase my new Christmas Cards... :) And to add them for the Christmas Challenge from Scrapping Everyday Miracles!
Both cards are for my coworkers, the one wanted a winter landscape, the other asked me to use something soft and plushy. 

And this is what I came up with: 

I wrote the sentiment by hand, since I don't have any polish stamps ;) I did the icicles with some glossy accents and sprinkled some distress glitter over it while it was wet. Really like how that turned out! The cutting dies are from Marianne Design (except for the Christmas trees). 

On that card I used white felt for the snowflake, to make it look even softer :) 

These circles are my new christmas stamps from Joy! Crafts. Really LOOVE them! :)

Thanks for stopping by and feel free to comment if you like ;)

Oh Snow! Two challenges at once

Hey Crafters!

I've had a fabulous weekend and a crafty sunday. It's getting really cold outside and I wanted to create a winter layout. I found that amazing sketch-challenge at StuckOnUSketches and just joined in! Besides I used the word "inspire" in my subtitle, so I joined the Bird is the word challenge, too :) Just a great thing to combine these two wonderful challenges in one layout.

I chose a two-year old picture from our farewell weekend with my classmates. We were in a cottage and all throughout the night it started two snow like crazy. On the next day we made ourselves a cold white buddy :) It was a really nice weekend and I enjoy remembering our time.

I used some plain chipboard pieces from Maya Road and covered them with gesso. Once the letters were dry, I used some withe Distress Stickles to give them a snowy look. 

Two of the snowflakes were wooden embellishment, which I first covered with some pigment ink, and after that I used some Perfect Pearls to make them shine.

In the middle of my snowflakes I put some light blue and blue crystals. For the background, I did some masking with molding paste and spritzed some silver Perfect Pearls Mist, to make everything match together. I did the masking on the background paper as well as behind the picture. You can't see a lot of it, but I really like how it turned out. 

That's it for now! Have a great day you guys and thanks for stopping by!
