Here is my 1st card for this blog hop:



Ingredients:

Sentiment stamp
White card stock
Blue paper
Green paper
White paper
Black ink

For this A2 card I started with White card stock for the base of the card.  I took the word paper from the Carta Bella "Let it Snow" paper pad and added that to the card.  I took the dark blue paper and the Kat Scrappiness Stitched Heart Tags die and cut out the tag and attached that to the card.  I took the Pine Forest Globe cut in die and some green paper and cut out the trees. I took some white paper and the Die-namics Stitched Dome Frame and cut that out and added that to the card.  I placed the Pine Forest cut inside the Stitched Dome Frame, colored in the background with a blue marker.  I took the sentiment stamp and some black ink and stamped the sentiment inside the Dome Frame.

Here is my 2nd card for the blog hop:



Ingredients:

Stitched Tag die
Warmest Wishes die
White card stock
Blue snowflake paper
White shimmer paper
Faded Jeans distress ink
Blue & White Bakers Twine

For this A2 card I started with White card stock for the base of the card.  I took a piece of Blue snowflake paper and added that to the card.  I took a piece of White Shimmer paper and the Snowflake Background die and cut out the snowflakes and added that to the the card.  I took the Stitched Tag die and some more of the Blue snowflake paper and cut out the tag.  I took more of the White Shimmer paper and the Warmest Wishes die and cut out the sentiment and added it to the tag.  I inked the edges of the tag with Faded Jeans distress ink and added it to the card.  I took the Blue & White Bakers Twin and wrapped it around the card several times and then tied a bow at the top of the card.
