Category: Winter

Happy 2013! I created this card for the “Anything Goes” Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge.

I’m embracing the colors and cold temps of winter! (It’s a sunny, cold day here in the Pacific Northwest.) My card uses some of my favorite card making techniques – paper piecing, die cutting and embossing.

Supplies: Echo Park Winter Wishes; Stampin’ Up cardstock (orange); The Twinery twine; McGill tag punch

For me, the holidays represent an opportunity to embrace the winter season. I also tend to be more reflective at this time of year. I wanted to create a card expressing the quietness and beauty of winter.

 

This card uses the same design that I used for the Sparks Challenge in October. I simply replaced the yellow birds with the red cardinal and added a glittery, soft blue background.

Supplies: Spellbinders circle dies; Stampin’ Up cardstock (red); glitter paper (Michaels); Encore ink (silver)
