Winter Scene

For my last post as guest designing this month for Double Trouble Challenge Blog, Challenge #18, since December has an extra Monday we have an "anything goes"!

Inside "But first, coffee!"

I used the set Warm Hearts from Paper Smooches and colored with Copics. The circle of cups was created using the Gina K Wreath Builder Kit. The background doily is a die cut from Prima Dies, the stitched circles are from Gina Marie Designs, and the stitched hillside was cut with Lawn Fawn's Simple Stitched Hillside Borders. I used Tulip Fabric Paint for the puffy snow and a white gel pen for the falling snow.

Cross Stitched Snowman Card

Anything goes this month over at  the Paper Smooches January Challenge. 

I am loving these new Stitched Circle Die and the matching Embroidery Hoop. It took a while to embroider this little snowman, but was well worth it (and, fun to do in front of the TV in the evening!). First, I used a stamp of a snowman from the Warm Hearts stamp set on a matching circle die to use as a reference for stitching. I'm not a cross stitcher so I'm not sure how to make round objects, but I still love the way he turned out! It is popped up over the frame.

 I also used the pretty Ribbon die topped with clear Nuvo Crystal Drops. The fun frame shape, Antique Frame, comes from Penny Black.
