Papertrey Ink November Blog Hop


Hello! I am joining the Papertrey Ink November Blog Hop today with a card I made featuring one of my favorite things, snow! I know I could have been more creative and made a shaker card or something fancy with glitter and sequins and such, but I was pressed for time, and put this quaint little snow scene together this morning while trying to do a hundred other things at the same time! Haha! 

I keep thinking, well as soon as I get this done I can relax... it never seems to happen, more stuff comes along. Oh well, it's all good and a lot of it fun :)

So here's my snowy card!




For a country girl I sure do love the City Scene stamp set from Papertrey Ink. It is one of my very favorites! I just love all those tall buildings! So cute!

I just stamped some little snowflakes from In The Meadow, and sponged some inks over that to create my snowy background. I added a snowdrift and stuck the little buildings and trees just under the edge. I then added the white panel with the circle cut out over that, and then added the snow die cut with foam tape, and stamped "much fun" under that.

I also have a really cute card up on the Poppystamps blog today. If you want to feel warm and cozy after looking at my snowy card, you need to go take a peek! It was not a quick and easy one, but it was super fun to put together!




Thank you all so much for stopping by! 

Hugs,

Kay

  25. I am madly in love with your card! I love how you used City Scene, one of my all time fave sets. Brilliant to put it in that window and combine it with the Snow word. And, love your sponged sky and snowdrift hill. You are super pinned!

  26. Um...HELLO, but your quaint little snow scene is nothing short of creative, stunning and all around impressive; so much so that I'm ready to pack my bags and go for a visit in that sweet neighbourhood! The buildings, the snowy sky, the trees with their dusting of snow, the colours...a gorgeous combination! Although your sentiment reads "Snow" the card evokes only warmth, cheer and invitation. I LOVE this!!
