Little Snow Globe Bear--So Cute!
I will say it again: Lawn Fawn is brilliant. Not only did the Little Snow Globe sets from November's release rewhet my appetite for the Reveal Wheel that's been in my stash gathering dust for ages and ages, they are so darn cute!
I mixed together some older sets along with the new to create this adorable scene. I'd like to think the cat is helping to carry the snow globe but in my house, the cats would be trying to wrest it away from me. LOL!

Popcorn Garland
While growing up we regularly made our own Christmas decorations, including popcorn garland. I didn't particularly like making them because creating a string of it long enough for the tree took forever and a day.
These from The Greetery were much more fun for me!

Cozy, Glittery Fireplace
I had leftover Lawn Fawn Reveal Wheel parts out from my mega cardmaking session a few weeks ago and used them up. I'm on a roll!
I used the Lawn Fawn Shadow Box Card Fireplace Add-On to create a softly colored fireplace with the picture frame above displaying a variety of gold embossed holiday messages. So very merry!

I'll Have a Blue Blue Penguin

With Immense Joy
I played around with the Penny Black Immense Joy die this weekend. I made a couple of cards pairing it with the Altenew Poinsettia 3D and Stampin' Up Linen Embossing Folder. Talk about quick and simple and with that glitter--amazing!
I'm entering this one in Color Throwdown #772 Cobalt Blue, Aqua & Gold.
The other card happened because I thought the sort of coppery glitter cardstock was so pretty but when would I use it? How about right now as a non-traditional color for a holiday card? Yes, please!

CAS on Friday - Black, White and One Color
I had a brilliant idea of using a variety of red washi tapes that I would then cut out to create a tree for the latest CAS on Friday #272 Black, White and One Color Challenge. It could have been so much cooler but it didn't occur to me that the washi design wouldn't count for much after I cut it out with a bottle brush tree. Duh!

Let It Snow Penguin
I found this paper in my stash. I recall buying it a few years ago with the intention of creating a make 'n' take for friends but that didn't happen so I'm using it now along with an older Lawn Fawn penguin. I should send this one to someone associated with UW given the purple and gold colors.

More CAS Christmas Cars
Crunch time on holiday cardmaking! I copied myself and made variations on my car card from back in April (whoa--where did the time go?!). I love that changing out the paper on the road makes such a difference and makes it easier to come up with colors for the cars.

CAS on Friday - Christmas
Are you ready for another CAS on Friday challenge? I know you're not ready for Christmas, surely not, so am happy to say our latest challenge helps build your holiday card stash.
I used the Ellen Hutson All Wrapped Up set to create a one layer card colored with alcohol inks. I thought about cutting out and layering some mini Xmas lights I have or maybe covering these with Glossy Accents to give it a bit of dimension but decided to keep it easy peasy.

Get Away from That Snow Globe, Cat!
I used the new Lawn Fawn Reveal Wheel sets and combined them with some of my favorite holiday sets--Purrfectly Wicked and Furry & Bright. The rug is from LF Christmas Dreams cut from LF 6x6 Knit Picky cardstock; I used 12x12 Knit Picky paper for the background.
The reveal wheel templates made it so easy to position the images and sentiment inside the snow globe. They don't help you determine which order you should stamp your images though.
I wanted the scene to be snowy, snowier, snowiest but instead got snowiest, snowier, snowy so let me stamp that again in reverse order. LOL.
