This is an old CMH stamp set (Frosty Friends) that literally fell out of my stamp cupboard this afternoon. I did have another card planned but this one just seemed to call out for some paper piecing. So paper piecing it was. I used textured AC card stock, two pairs of reading glasses and snipped away! A bit of glitter ink on the hearts (tough to see in the photo), a hand doodled border and a TAWS sentiment stamp (Holiday Sparkles).
Here is the list of the rest of the Inspiration Crew! Grab a nice hot cup of coffee and enjoy the tour. Remember to leave a comment here on my blog for a chance to win a mystery prize. The random draw will be held on December 22nd.
Aww, Geri ... could this little snow family get any cuter ... they're completely adorable! The paper piecing is as perfect as ever and the colours of their warm winter wrappings (and carrot, bird and tree!) are luscious and vibrant! I love the doodled border ... it mimics the sketchy snowies brilliantly and is a wonderful frame for your cutie patootie scene! Sweet, sweet, sweet, dear friend! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteI just love this snow gang, Geri! And been there, done that with the two pairs of reading glasses trick!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun card! I love that image and your paper piecing makes it so fun!!
ReplyDeleteIt must be the time difference - it's only Day 3 here in Toronto! (your title says 4) lol! But that doesn't change my opinion of this lovely CAS card - the doodled frame is really perfectly matched to that image and sentiment - it all works perfectly together!
ReplyDeleteFully, madly, and totally in love with this!!! What a darling stamp!! And you pieced this???! Wow, girl, you are amazing. Perfect colors, perfect sentiment, perfect fussy cutting, and well, perfect card! Love this. : ) Bev
ReplyDeleteSome times it's the happy accidents that work out the best what a great and fun card good job with the paper piecing
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, you used two of my all-time favourites - paper piecing and a hand drawn border! So of course I LOVE it already!! And, on top of that, well, it's just plain awesome!!! That stamp is ADORABLE! And what you have done with it...magic! Seriously, you are amazing! Perfect sentiment for this too - perfect placement, and perfect because the card does sparkle!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, man, am I ever glad this stamp fell out of the cupboard at you, Geri! It is adorable, especially with all your brilliant paper piecing! The icing on the cake is that perfectly drawn frame. I really think it must have made a world of difference and this image just cries out for it ~ you are a genius designer, AGAIN!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteLove this sweet snowman family and the whimsical touches are just perfect!
ReplyDeleteSerendipity - the stamp falls into your hands, you 'take the hint' and the outcome is this perfectly executed, delightfully charming, dazzler of a card. Those snowmen are adorable; the doodled border and TAWS sentiment are wonderful complements. LOVE this!! Day brightened and heart-warmed!! I have 'nearly' 10 tags done on my tag-making marathon...yayyyy!
