Adorable Snowman Card

Hello and welcome!

My kids, Tyler & Shara, just closed on their new home! We are so excited for them!!! I thought it would be fun to mail this cute snowman card to their new address.

The adorable snowman is a stamp by Penny Black. This is my new favorite winter stamp! He is colored with watercolor markers. The dimensional snowballs beside the snowman were created with Liquid Applique. The sentiment is by Hero Arts and was heat embossed with Ranger's Princess Gold.

The holidays are in full swing here at the Swart household.

Snowflake Ornament Card

Hello and welcome!

It is a busy time getting the tree up, buying gifts and finishing up the dozens of cards that must be mailed soon. Here is a festive card I created:

I used my new Hero Arts' Snowflakes and Ornament Fancy Die. My friend, Barb, also got this die and I can't wait to see what she does with it. The beautiful sentiments are also by Hero Arts.

I love the look of the lacy snowflakes. Here is a close-up so you can see them better.
