I sent out all my Christmas cards and even sold some at a sale at my church - and I sold a few more at work - and then I had none...... so, of course, I found I needed a few more!
I knew I could find some great inspiration from the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge.
My winter fun - dashing through the snow - was created using several dies
The tree and one horse open sleigh are both from PTI and the snowy fields were created with Stitched Landscape dies by Poppy Stamps. I layered the sleigh over the white scene with foam dots and stamped the sentiment from PTI along the bottom.
I made a second card to send to my 6 year old grand nephew, Landon, whose kindergarten class has been making snowmen crafts this month.
Here he is with two of his snowman crafts
This one is painted bottle caps.
and a foam ornament (love the hat on his friend!)
They also have a program where the student sends you a note and you send one back to him at school.
So the winter fun on this card is building a snowman and will go to Landon!
Again, I used a lot of dies - the landscape dies again, a window die from Poppy Stamps, and the snowman, garland and wreath are from PTI. I used another sentiment from the same PTI set as the sleigh card. I removed the panes from the window die and added the garland along the top - popping the window up on foam dots.
I think I'd better make a few more Christmas cards - just in case! They are predicting snow here tomorrow - 3" - 6" so I can stay inside nice and cozy and do some stamping! What better way to spend a day??!!
