Last Day of our Hero Arts month of February


  Are we Hero Arts Fans?  Yes I am!


The Challenge for this month is
Red and/or Pink Colors
As long as red and/or pink are the predominant color(s) on the project, it is good.
Be sure to enter your project by 9:00 p.m. Pacific time tonight.
I got this cute snowman for Christmas and he can be dashing in his top hat or comfy and warm in his Santa hat.  I like the contrast of the red background and the snowman in the first card.
I like the comfy and fun feel to the second card.

I don't see this Hero Arts Peeking Snowman on the HA website, so I feel very lucky to have purchased it while still available.  There are darling Peeking Bear, Elf and Reindeer dies available though.

1st card with Top Hat

2nd card with Santa Hat
The dies were fun to put together and they were perfect for the theme.

Enjoy your card making.

February with Creative Crafters

   The Creative  Crafters starts a monthly challenge every 15th of the month and I've made       as inspiration for this month. 

This challenge is always "Anything Goes".  
Be sure to join The Creative  Crafters challenge! 

After I made this card, I actually almost tore it up, but knowing how I see some creations right after I finish as something that didn't turn out the way I wanted them to and that I was so disappointed in it that I had to hide those projects away for some time.  The same thing happened here.  I put it under some dies I had out and then when I rediscovered it, I actually fell in love with this.  These were actually some leftovers and new products Santa dropped off for me.

Supplies:
Whimsy Comfort and Joy stamps & matching dies (apples)
Waffle Flower Wonderful Christmas Combo stamps and dies (I do not see the dies online) - sentiment
Poppy Stamps Stained Glass Snowflake (no longer at Poppy Stamps)
Paper in stash
Copic markers used on apples
Unknown brand for the Stitched Arches but I think they are Die-namics from years ago.
Altennew enamel dots
Vagabond die cut machine

It's January's Card Chain Challenge Reveal Today!

It's a Card Chain Challenge Reveal Today


My card has layers of dies and distress inks and it's a gift from Santa Claus and the first time I've used the dies.
Yes, I believe in Santa Claus because he always brings me what I want.  LOL

I wondered how hard this would be to put together - the Die is just ONE die for the box and then little dies for the different little things you can stick on the cupcakes, such as a strawberry, blueberry, cherry and flags.  You can use the stencils to sponge your color on each part of the box, very easy to use and this was such fun to work on.  

Supplies:
Waffle Flower 
Boxed Cupcakes Die-n-stencil 
Waffle Flower Hello Friend Stamps and Dies (not available)
Distress Inks
Vagabond die cut machine

I'm entering the following challenges:
NBUS Challenge
A Cut Above February challenge
