Poor Old Frosty the Snowman

Hello Friends.

I have seen a TON of cute snowman cards this winter but by far the cutest one I think is the melting snowman.  
 
As far as my neighbourhood goes, so far this year there are no snowmen in sight!
Not yet at any rate.
Because let's face it - Despite the fact that I live in CANADA, we just haven't had snowman weather!  The first 2 weeks of December have been unusually warm here (~10 C / 50 F).

Melted puddle below Frosty.....

So here is my version of how December feels right about now.   I used the Sprinkles of Life stamp set and Tree Builder Punch to create my melted Frosty.  And a sponge dauber with versamark and clear embossing powder did the trick to make the puddle.

I will try to get a quick video up and running in a day or 2 to show you how quickly and easily this card goes together.  For now though, enjoy the card and have a wonderful week ahead!

God Bless,   ~Cynthia    <><

Curvy Keepsake Olaf!

Good Mornin' Stampin' Friends

I just couldn't wait to show you one of the projects that my club members will be making tonight!

Pinterest is filled with ideas created using the Curvy Keepsake Box, and today I am adding in my own creation.  

Introducing....
Olaf, everybody's favourite snowman, from the movie, "Frozen".  My own daughters, although they are all teenagers, were quite smitten with this little creation and have decided they each want one to themselves!

I hope my club members are as happy with him as my girls seem to be!  

And, of course, there are 3 gorgeous cards to make at club this month too.  A shaker card and 2 that use sponging and glitter to maximal effect.  Yes friends, that *is* my Founders Circle swap card that club members are making this month!!  And the Shaker card (Jennifer Gulch) and Blue Pines (Evelyn Wood) were 2 other swap cards I received at Founders Circle.  They are gorgeous and I thought my club members should get a chance to make them for themselves!

If you'd like to join us as a guest, just ask.  Wed, Fri and Tues night from 7-9 pm  (Oct 15, 17 and 21) or Saturday morning form 10 till noon (Oct 18).

I hope you'll consider joining us to make these beautiful cards.  And Olaf too!  In the meantime, enjoy the rest of your week and God Bless,     ~Cynthia     <><
