Merry Monday Early

My Merry Monday card is late again this week, but earlier than usual.


I tore some Whisper White to resemble drifts.  I've seen this idea several time on the Internet and love the look.  Dazzling Details on the edges gives them a frosty look.

I used my new Labels Collection Framelits for the trees.  (They're not SU.  I found them on clearance at a craft store.)  I cut the label in Whisper White and Bashful Blue and used my Stamp-a-majig to stamp the trees on both.  Then I measured with the drifts to cut the top off the white label before adhering it to the blue one.

The sentiment is from the Four the Holidays set and white embossed on Bashful Blue.  I used my Scallop Trim Corner Punch on the ends to give it a tag look.

The next card was easy peasy thanks to Leslie!


I won the blog candy on the Merry Monday site last week and this sweet snowman was in the package all mounted and everything.  Thanks for the help Lesley.  It was perfect for this week's challenge!

The sentiment on the little sign is from a retired set and the bird is from Itty Bitty Bits by Stampin' Up!

By the way, here's the sketch Lesley gave us to work with.


My first card veered from the sketch just a bit.

Two more Christmas cards down.

I'm so glad you popped in today.

Enjoy!

These are charming...I love the snow as the bottom layer and the sign with the snowman is a creative touch!

These are super Christmas cards Bonnie and I particularly like the way you stamped the label on the top one to fit in with the landscape.

Your cards are adorable, Bonnie. Those icy, snow drifts make me cold just looking at them...perfect for those Christmas cards.

Really spectacular winter cards, Bonnie! I love how you lined up those trees just so, in the Framelit.
