"Joyful Snowman" winter frame with Art Impressions

Hi there and happy friday! 

Today I'm sharing a little frame I made to decorate for the upcoming winter season with the adorable Joyful Snowman set by Art Impressions.

Aww look at this little guy, he's so happy he makes you happy! 

I love he's dressed up for the festive season and I had so much fun watercoloring him :)

Of course I followed the packaging image as my coloring guide ( cause I love it!) and I'm so happy about how my snowman turned out. Now I can't wait to color all his friends in the set - eheh! 

I paired him with some snowy watercolored trees and I kept my frame design really simple, just watrcoloring a bright blue sky as my background. I tought about adding snow but then I realized my favorite part about a snowy landscape is enjoying it with a lovely bright blue sky and the sun shining :)

It just snowed for the first time all around my town and I'm wondering if we'll get snow this year.. for now I'm just creating snowy scenes at my desk ;)

**Please notice, I remove the glass out of my frame just to be able to take pictures :) I actually recommend to frame it with glass to protect your piece and flatten it out if your paper got a little warped by using watercolors without taping it down onto your surface first  - as I always always do.. eheh! 

With this little winter frame I'd love to enter the Art Impressions November Monthly Guest Designer Challenge

Snowy shaker card with Art Impressions

Hi there, 

today I'm sharing a fun shaking card I made with the adorable Christmas Truck set by Art Impressions.

Awww .. I love these images so much! 

I created my background with distress inks and watercolors, colored all my images with copics and created my card with fake snow as shaker embellishment.

I'm not gonna lie, now there's fake snow everywhere on my desk, but it's so much fun playing with this card it's totally worth it -eheh! 

Shaker frame is by Heffy Doodle and my sentiment is from Mama Elephant .

This is my first Christmas card for 2024 and I'm so happy, creating for the Holidays is always special to me and even if I'm so ready for Spring it's so good to get a start onto Christmas cards and get them done easily throughout the year - I can't wait to create more with this lovely set - I mean look at the snowman smile - adorable! 

I'd love to enter the new AI challenge with this card: it's challenge 371 "Shake it up" 

Thanks a lot for stopping by today!

Skating pups with Heffy Doodle

Hi there, today I'm sharing a fun winter card featuring the Ice Pups stamps by Heffy Doodle.

These doggies are so cute and I love creating ice skating / hockey winter cards so much.

First of all I stamped all the images onto some copic friendly cardstock and colored them with my copics, then I die cut them all out with their coordinated dies.

I also die cut a little speech bubble from the Look Who's Talking set out of more white cardstock.

I created my cardbase that's 9.5 x 15 cm out of white cardstock and covered the front with the blue patterned paper from the The Greatest Show Patterned Paped set. Then I die cut a smaller panel out of white cardstock using the Mini ScallopedMetric Rectangle Dies and the partial die cutting technique. 

I inked the scalloped panel with Speckled Egg distress ink and I used the Heffy Memo Tape to help me mask it in some places in order to build the ground scene for my images.

I stamped both my sentiments and glued the panel down, then added all the images with foam adhesive.

Finally I added some snowflakes sequins and this card is ready to make someone smile :)

I hope you like this card and all the new products as much as I do :)
