Celebrate Winter Birthdays

Tracy here from Idea Closet. I hope you had a very nice Christmas and a great start to the new year.

I don't like winter ,and I really don't like the cold, but January and February are full of birthdays at our house so we still have lots of celebrating to do.

To get started on the birthday card list, I made two winter cards to help celebrate.

The first card is the Sled 3D Gift Card Holder and is part of the JGW Made of Snow Collection. 
I love this card and it is super easy to put together.  

On the underside of the sled is an envelope to hold a gift card.  

Makes a great gift, big or small for someone special.

I used wood printed paper for the top of the sled and then tied red twine to the steering bar.

Next is the Snowman Box Card.

I love box cards because they can be folded flat for mailing and then displayed on a desk or shelf.

I cut the arms and the roof to the house from the same wood printed paper.

To add a little interest to the Snowman I added glitter to the bottom of each panel.

I also chalked up the cheeks a little bit.

To finish my little snowman, I tied a scarf around his neck using the same red twine. 

Both cards together would make a great little gift or use them separately.

Thank you for joining me today and stay warm.

Winter Fun

Hello! If you're anything like me, you can't wait for the white gold to start falling and for Jack Frost to make nature sparkle and glitter. Winter is definitely my favorite season (that is when it behaves the way it should and not the foggy, rainy, warm winter) so that is what it's all about today.

 

I just couldn't help myself to make the cute Igloo from the SDS Frosty Friends kit

 

It is made out of AC Cardstock in White and Blueberry and decorated with Sparkle Paper in White and Maja Design Paper "Joyous Winterdays". Just follow the instructions found here and you'll be all set - easy peasy!

 

I also wanted the Igloo to look inhabited, so I made a small sled for the owner.

 

 

The sled is from the JGW Made of Snow kit. It's made of AC Cardstock in Chocolate, Slate and Black along with some wood patterned paper from KaiserKraft. I used a tiny black brad for the steering pad and some twine. The small rivets are made from small dots of Enamel Accent from Tim Holtz. I did size this one down to match the size of the Igloo. You find the tutorial for the sled here.

 

The owner is also keen on skis, so I made him a pair from the JGW Winter Wonderland Wreath

 

These skis are made a bit bigger to match the size of the Igloo and sled and are made from AC Cardstock in Chocolate and Charcoal and with patterned paper from KaiserKraft. These are soooo easy to make and you find the tutorial here.

At night the igloo lights up with a cozy light ;-)

 

 

So now the small but lucky owner of the Igloo is ready for the upcoming frosty season and I look forward to many more cool and glittery projects in my warm and cozy craft room :-)

 

Thanks for visiting today - please leave a small comment on your way out <3

Oh and enjoy this small video

Skellington on a Stick

Hello - hope you're having an amazing Tuesday today :-) Mine's been pretty lazy so far but I guess soon I'll have to go stretch the old bones and go for a walk.

 

Talking about bones....I was so inspired by Annita Kristine Schøtt Pedersen's cute snowman on the SVG Attic Fanatics FB page yesterday, so I had to make one myself. I don't know how the idea popped into my head, but I realized that I wanted to make him into Jack Skellington from "The Nightmare before Christmas"

 

 

He is made from the Spring Spiral Snowman from the  JGW Made of Snow kit. All I had to alter was the face (found one in the Silhouette Design Store #156604), make the butterfly by welding two bats from the Silhouette Design Store (found here and here) and draw some white lines with a Sharpie.

 

I also cut some "hands" in white and added to the arms on both front and back and finally I made a button from the skeleton on the Mourner's Hat from JGW Raven Quest.

 

I used AC Cardstock in Black and White along with AC POW Glitter paper in Charcoal and a tiny bit of black floss for the button.

 

Thanks for stopping by and remember to leave that little special comment for me to read ;-)

Bird Houses ~ with Cyndy G.

Hello.  Thank you for stopping by.  Today I am sharing with you a project from SVG Attic using SDS Home Tweet Home.  These little bird houses are so cute and very easy to put together.

The cute little tag is from JGW Made of Snow.  The stamp is from the Graphic 45 - Time to Flourish set and the paper is Enchanted Forest.  I tied it all off with some Krazy for Kraft Trendy Twine.

Last week was National Volunteer Week and I made 20 of these as a Thank You gift for our  

Master Gardener volunteers that came for a luncheon to honor them.

May Day Baskets with Beth

Hello all!  Beth from Beth's Beauties with you today and I am sharing the May Day baskets I created for my boys.

 These baskets were a great use of seasonal files that had nothing to do with this occasion!  The basket file is from JGW Easter Eggstraordinary and I used the smaller basket in that kit.  I omitted the liner inside the basket so it could hold more candy.  The monogram on the front was created by using the top two layers of the SDS Nested (Layered) Alphabet.  I kept the proportions of the letters and made the shadow layer 1" tall and that was the perfect size for the front of the basket.

 The final addition was a tag from JGW Made of Snow (Smooth Sledding tag) which I resized to 2.3" wide.  I cut everything using DCWV's Marquee stack.  A double bow of In The Navy Trendy Twine attached the tag to the basket.

There is one more week until May Day.  What will you create?

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Spring Snowman

Hello all and welcome! Tanya from Crafting on Caffeine here today. I'd like you introduce you to my Spring Snowman!  I've been wanting to make him but I'm so over the snow. Well, we just had a snowstorm of course and I thought, wait, a spring snowman! So here he is! 

I started with the "Spiral 3D Snowman" from JGW Made of Snow. I omitted the snowflakes  from the cuts.

Paper used is from BoBunny Double Dot Collection and Doddlebug "Under the Sea" and "Springtime" Collections

I used Trendy Twine's Totally Lemon and Raspberry Cupcake.

I also used Jaded Blossom's White Christmas, Spring Dies, and the top of the Ticket Book Die

I so couldn't have done this without my silhouette, Cut n' Boss, Xyron X create a sticker and 510 Creative Station

Hope you enjoy! Please check back soon. LOTS coming up!!!
