Snowy Scene and Peace

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Another Christmas card for the stash.


This background was done with inky paper towel pressed onto cardstock.

The trees were die cut from smooshed sheets in my background box.

The snowman was die cut from a snippet of white cardstock and glittered up
with a very old bottle of Dazzling Diamonds.  In fact I glittered up the whole scene
with that glitter glue and it was the devil to get a decent photo!

How about a twofer...


No stamping on tis one, just dry embossing, die cutting and some more of that
ancient glitter glue, this time in gold.

The peace is cut from gold foil cardstock as well as the mat.

Your wonderful Christmas cards tick all the boxes, Bonnie! Love the colors you've chosen from that Kickstart challenge and your little snowdude looks mighty happy about them, too!
Poinsettias are a delight in white - so pretty!

Pretty scene with the paper towel background. The poinsettia card is beautiful, Bonnie with just that touch of gold. I think glitter glue is the best way to add glitter to a card. It doesn't blow all over!

Susan said...

Love the colour palette of the first one - the trees done in burgundy and mauve/grey look fabulous (I'd never have thought of doing trees in those colours but I love them!). The second card is so elegant and classy.

The white and gold is such an elegant combination, love the beautiful texture! Thanks for joining us at Krafty Chicks.

Susan said...

Should have also said in my original comment - thanks for bringing your sweet little snowman (ties in nicely to our mood board!) to the Peace on Earth challenge!

The trees almost look like stitched felt, Bonnie. Your glittery snow scene is lovely in the challenge colors. Loving that CAS poinsettia card!

Your snowman scene is so adorable. The colours are so fantastic and the texture from the paper towel is awesome. Gorgeous poinsettia card ... lovely embossing with a touch of gold, so elegant Bonnie! xx

Two beautiful Christmas cards, Bonnie. I LOVE your trees scene with your non traditional colors using your smooshed backgrounds from your stash:-) Beautiful glittering for the holidays too. Love your dry embossed background for your 2nd card and the added gold glitter glue and gold accents. A great design for making QCAS Christmas cards:-) TFS Love and Hugs...Nancy

Loving both of these cards Bonnie!! The snowy snowman scene reminds me of what Winter looks like here in West Michigan with the COLD and gray-blue skies...you've depicted it perfectly!! Your CAS Poinsettia card is SO pretty...LOVE it! I need to get busy on making more Christmas cards too!! Thanks for the inspiration!! Hugs. :0)

Dotty Jo said...

Love both cards, Bonnie! Is it ok if card #1 just shades it for me? That snowman against that gorgeous sky is just wow. Thanks for playing at Christmas Kickstart with Gundi and me, Jo x

Trina P. said...

Fabulous background on the first. Your second card is so elegant I still have not started on my Christmas card stash. 🫣

papierelle said...

Isn't it fascinating that non-traditional Christmas colors work well on Christmas cards? Your map is a good example of this, everything looks coherent and the trees look great in this color.
I am very happy that you are playing with Jo and me at the Kickstart Challenge. Gundi

TK said...

Your glittery snowman is as fun as can be, and I definitely see all the glitter -- very pretty. As for your second card? Well that's just stunning! I love the white on white, and letting all that embossed beauty shine, with pops of gold!

Leslie Miller said...

The first is so sweet with its primitive vibe and it tugs at my heart strings. The second is gorgeous with the embossing and gold. Your stash is growing nicely!

Christine Alexander said...

Two great cards, the snowy scene is so cute and the embossed poinsettia is so elegant ♥
