Simon Says Stamp’s Monday Challenge and Simon Says Stamp’s Wednesday Challenge combined

I made two cards that combine the themes for Simon Says Stamp’s Wednesday Challenge – Christmas Critters with Simon Says Stamp’s Monday Challenge – Ice Cold. The first one came together quickly since I was using die cuts and patterned papers to create the card. The glittered hillside die cuts add lots of icy sparkle. The second card used the same type of icy hillsides but with a Yeti for the Christmas Critter. Hope you get some time to craft during the holiday season! Supplies for the cards are listed in the captions.

The background is sheet from Papertrey’s Holiday Folk Paper Pack and the tree and bear were fussy cut from sheets of the same paper pack. The sparkly hillside die cuts were created using Papertrey’s In the Meadow Collection dies on adhesive sheets that are coated with a layer of coarse glitter. The Merry Christmas sentiment was created with Papertrey’s Christmas Cheer stamp and die set.

I love this happy Yeti image! Those teeth and that face just make me smile and we all need more reasons to smile! The Yeti image and sentiment are from My Favorite Things Beast Friends stamp set. The Yeti is colored using Copic markers. The trees are from a Craft Smart rubber stamp from Michaels. The glittered hillside adhesive sheets were created using Papertrey’s In the Meadow Collection dies.

My Favorite Things Sketch and Color Challenges

I decided to combine the My Favorite Things Sketch and Color Challenge and made this card.  The color challenge of using light pink, red, aqua and black was hard, especially when I was trying to not make it scream Valentine’s Day.

I got to pull out my new MFT mountain dies.  I’ve been wanting them for awhile and they are so much fun!  Supplies are listed below.  Happy crafting!

• Cardstock:  White, Pink Pirouette (Stampin Up); Pure Poppy (Papertrey)
