Frosty the Snowman?

We all know that Frosty was a jolly, happy soul, and so he is on this card!  This stamp is from JustRite Stamps and he was colored with copics.  Used Spellbinder dies to cut out and mat the snowman.  Used the Vintage Blue Flower  buttons because they reminded me of snowflakes!

Here is a close up of Frosty and his frosty flakes.  I also love the look of the lacy snow on the card.  Just the right touch.

Guest Designer Trudy Sjolander's Projects

Hi Everyone!

True :D here.

I used to be a regular on the Creative Charms team so when Midori asked if I would like to be a guest designer this month, I jumped at the chance! I LOVE Creative Charms!

Basic Grey spoiled me by sending me a huge box of their latest releases to play with. They won't be in the stores for shipment until October so I'm a very lucky girl to have them! Luckier still is how perfectly the "Picadilly" papers match Creative Charm's -Amber Vintage Flower Buttons and Amber Gradient Gem Stickers.

Ranger Ink also sent me some fun stuff to play with including some Perfect Pearls Sunflower Sparkle Mist which I sprayed on the entire card, concentrating more on the floral grouping and embellishments. Gotta love that extra sparkle!

Remember, you can click on the pictures to enlarge for a closer look. :)

My next project is done with Basic Grey's "Little Black Dress" collection which will be on the shelves in October also. See how awesome Creative Charm's - Vintage Velvet Poppies go with it? I removed the white brad from the center of the larger one and replaced it with a Grey Vintage Pearl Brad. I also added a few Black Gradient Pearl Stickers to the label.

I almost forgot to mention the pretty Black and Silver Dotted Leaves that came in one of the past Kits of the Month. I love the Kits of the Month because there are sometimes different items that are only available in the kits. ;)

My final card was done for a Clean And Simple challenge that starts tomorrow for one of my other design teams. I thought I would share it here a day early! :)

I illustrated the "Fuzzy Ducky" clear stamp for Clear Dollar Stamps.

See the sweet little cornflower blue flowers he's holding? I had to keep it clean and simple but I didn't think a single flower that matches his flowers would hurt. 

Here is a True :D tip: Buy extra white and clear embellishments so you can color them with your favorite medium to match what ever your little hearts desire. 

In this case, I used a blue Copic marker on a White Sparkle Flower for the exact color I needed. I also hit the center gem with a touch of yellow Copic.

Well...that's it for me today. 

Thanks Midori and girls for letting me pop back in and play awhile!

I would love it if you left me a bit of love below! :)

I am also giving away a Basic Grey's Picadilly Page kit before it is even available to the general public plus some extra goodies from my stash so come on over! :)

Hugs,

Quick & Easy Cards!

Happy Monday everyone! It's Lisa Dickinson here, and I wanted to share a few quick and simple cards with you using some of the many fabulous Creative Charms!

blank card & envelope, dotted paper (Creative Imaginations) + stickers (Basic Grey) + ribbon (Ribbon FX) + brads & charms (Creative Charms)

I used a bit of a flower border sticker across the bottom of the card, topping it off with three flowers from the Butterfly Garden Medley Vintage Brad set. I used the fourth flower on top of the metal butterfly. I love the subtle bit of dimension these charms add to the card:


For another quick card, I used some Creative Charms to spruce up a pre-printed monogram card that I got in the clearance section at Target:

card & envelope (Target) + ric rac and button (Creative Charms)

I added a bit of Red Velvet Ric-Rac by slicing on each side of the "D" and threading it through. Then I clipped the shank off a Red Vintage Flower Button and glued it down to adorn the monogram. A super easy way to make a store-bought card just a bit more special!

Finally, I used some of the orange Groovy Petals to make a happy flower pot on this card:

card (Creative Imaginations) + string flowers (Creative Charms) + patterned paper & stickers (Scenic Route)
Hope you'll be inspired to create some of your own quick cards!
