Snowman

The coaster calendars were a big hit at the holiday fair on Saturday. So, I've been busy making a few more of those for friends. I finally got my Gift Box Punch Board out of the box and made this cute snowman. I've seen several of these posted on the web. I pretty much followed the pattern on Dawn Olchefske's blog. The differences being the googly eyes on mine and the added scarf using chevron ribbon. I also pulled out a retired embosslit for the buttons (but you could use the new Little Pieces embosslit).

Isn't he cute!

Three Quick Cards!

These three cards went together very quickly. The top card uses two pieces of the Color Me Autumn Designer Series Paper cut at 1x4 and 2x4 inches in the instructions. I cut them down to 1x3-3/4 and 2x3-3/4 inches since I wanted more layers on my card. The middle card uses a 3x4 inch piece of DSP that you score at 1/2 inch and then fold over. Quick and easy trim! The bottom card uses a 2-1/2x3 inch piece. The Banner Framelits makes for quick cutting of the banners in the top and bottom cards. 

The Give Thanks... expression and acorn come from the For All Things stamp set. The middle card's expression is from the Feel Goods stamp set. 

The top two cards are embellised with the Mossy Meadow ribbon and the bottom with a piece of Chevron ribbon. 

Stamp, cut, layer, add ribbon! You're done! I love Designer Series Paper because it gives you a color scheme to work with and adds lots of pizzazz to your cards!
