Snow Day

We're back with a brand-new challenge at Creative Knockouts!

This time, the theme Snow Much Fun - we’d love to see how you incorporate snow into your card — whether it’s snowflakes, a snowman, sledding, or anything snowy and fun.

Our amazing sponsor for this challenge is The Paper Shelter, and they're offering a fantastic prize - so don't miss your chance to play along!

I wanted to showcase a digital card to show just how easy and versatile The Paper Shelter images can be. This image is Snow Angel and I selected digital papers and elements from the “I Love Snow” collection that I purchased on Snap Click and combined them to create this card.

Be sure you check out the amazing and inspiring creations from our talented Design Team, then share your masterpiece with us!

Happy Crafting!

Snow Much Fun at Get Creative Challenges

Happy New Year! A new month brings a new challenge at Get Creative Challenges!  Our theme this month is Snow much Fun. 

We are a JUST FOR FUN challenge and I hope you will play along for your chance to proudly display our Winner or Top 3 Badges.

It's pretty hard to see the snow falling, but it's there!  I ran out to grab some texture paste and ended up grabbing Sparkle paste, not quite the effect I was looking for but it works!  The lamp post was created using the Cricut Joy,

Thanks so much for stopping by and make sure you hop over to Get Creative Challenges for some inspiration from our fabulous Design Team!

Snowy Penguin

Join me for our new challenge over at Christmas with the Cuties!  Our theme for this challenge is "Something SNOWY" - don't forget, your creation must be Christmas themed and feature a cute image.  

We are a JUST FOR FUN challenge and I hope you will continue to play along for your chance to proudly display our Winners or Top 3 Badge.

This darling image is Snowball Tree Theo Penguin by Polkadoodles. I colored the image with Copics then went to work on fussy cutting (ugh).  With that out of the way I went to work on creating the background with Wild Honey, Spiced marmalade and seedless Preserves distress inks.  The falling snow was creating using Frosty Snowflakes stencil by Simple Stories and Moonlight Gold Cosmic Shimmer Luna Paste.

Now it's your turn to show us your Christmas project and make sure you check out the Design Team's creations for some inspiration and remember - projects must be Christmassy and have to be Cute!

Let it Snow

This month at Winter Wonderland our challenge theme is Let it Snow.  We don't have a sponsor for this month so this month's challenge is Just for Fun!

I have had this Tiddlyinks image for a few years, even printed it out and there it sat, waiting to be colored.  The image is called Ricky Winter Lights unfortunately, I don't see that it's available anymore however there is a girl version Winterlights Wryn.

I had intended on creating a CAS card but it looked too bare so I decided to color in some winter lights.  Not perfect but it was my first shot at it! To add some falling snow, I used an toothbrush with a bit of water and white paint.  It it a bit messy but this is one of my favorite ways to add an overall snow dusting, it adds a nice soft and serene look and for this image, I think it's perfect.  To finish it off, I used some shimmer spray.

Now it's your turn to show us your Christmas cards and for some extra inspiration, make sure you check out our Design Team's creations.

Silent Snoozing

It's time for another fab challenge at Creative Knockouts!  Our theme for this challenge is "Snow Much Fun".  We are getting closer to that time of year and this is the perfect challenge to make that Christmas card you've been putting off!

Our sponsor for this challenge is Dr. Digi's House of Stamps and the lucky winner will receive 2 images of their choice!

I love working with Dr. Digi images and for this challenge I chose to work with Snoozing Santa.

I used Copic markers to color the image and OOPS, I just realized I was going to add some Nuvo Glitter Drops to his hat!  The background papers are from the Celebrate Christmas Collection by Echo Park and Believe Paper Pad by Heidi Swapp.

The sentiment is by Lily of the Valley, Christmas Tag Sentiments.  I fussy cut around the tag, punched a hole at the top and added some black & white baker's twine.  I applied foam squares to the image and banners and left the sentiment tag flat on the background paper with regular adhesive.  

Thanks so much for stopping by and hope this puts you in the Christmas Spirit.

Make sure you check out the amazingly creative creations from our Design Team then it's your turn to start creating!

Snow much fun at Winter Wonderland

Winter Wonderland has a new challenge this month, our theme is Snowmen & Snow.  Our incredibly fabulous sponsor for this challenge is Jodie from Bugaboo Stamps!

I chose to work with this cute image, Three Snowmen. I love the whimsical feel of this image and had fun coloring.

I used Copic markers to add color and placed stickles to the snowflakes for a bit of wintertime sparkle. I love the sparkle of the snow when the sun shines down, ah those clear, beautiful wintery days!

I am in love with this card, I love the adorable image and the bright colors in the background papers.

As for the background papers, they are from the I Love Snow Paper Pack at Snap Click Supply Co.  .  Thanks to fellow blogger, Shani, she connected me with Snap Click and I have already spent a small fortune! They carry a variety of digital papers of all themes from multiple designers.

Thanks so much for dropping in and I hope you have a wonderful day!
