High Hopes Snowflakes

This weeks High Hopes Challenge is to use Snowflakes. I went overboard! I love using snowflakes as embellishments. First, I love finding new snowflake Dies/Punches/Templates. I love how the basic snowflake has evolved over the past few years.  This one uses some very basic Martha Stewart snowflake punches. Oh My Gosh....I used Martha Stewart and basic in the same sentance! I cut out the big snowflake using my Cricut and the When It's Cold Outside Cartridge. It's one of the few cartridges I still have. Most of the time I use the Sure Cuts A Lot Software with my cricut.

Supplies Used:

Stamps: High Hopes Snowy with Flake PTI Sentiment

Ink: Copic Markers

Cardstock: Retired SU Vintage Violet

Paper: Webster Pages

Accessories: Snowflake Button and Brown Suede Ribbon from my Stash, Star Dust Stickles

Thanks for visiting! I hope you get a chance to participate in this weeks challenge! I know you have lots of Holidays cards to create!

High Hopes Anything Goes-Take 2

 I prepped my post for this weeks  High Hopes Anything Goes Challenge by posting my picture in the DT folder and adding the picture to my prescheduled post, thinking I'd go back and "write" my post before it went "live"  I've been side tracked getting ready for my first craft faire that I forgot to put any content in my post. So I am "re-doing" my post and giving you some extra pictures.

You might remember my wreath post during the last High Hopes Release.

Here is it again:

I am donating this wreath to the raffle for the craft faire!

But I had so much fun making the first one, I decided to make 2 more to sell at the faire! Here they are:

All of the projects pictured above use Snowmen from the latest High Hopes Release, and Basic Grey Nordic paper. Which is perfect for the latest challenge I've "discovered" BasicGrey Challenges. I don't know it has taken me so long to find this challenge. I found it on my detailed inspection of all the challenges listed on the Feline Playful Blog. My favourite designer paper is Basic Grey. I love just about every collection they release.  So these wreaths are perfect for the anything goes challenge # 56

So for the Basic Grey Challenge Team: The Basic Grey item I am using is Nordic Paper.

Thanks for visiting!

And Don't forget to participate in the High Hopes Anything Goes Challenge!

Hugs
