I am super excited to share some cool news with you today! I have been working with the amazing and kind Lori over at Imaginisce Paper for a little while, and today I am being featured on the Imaginisce Blog as a guest designer! I am super grateful for the opportunity and hope to be working with them on a continuing basis. I have always loved Imaginisce products - surfing penguins, adorable snowmen, and that Apple Cider collection this year? OMG. Crazy good stuff. I hope you will go on over to their blog and check it out, and also sign up to be an Imaginisce facebook fan. You could win a prize today by leaving a comment!
Today I'm posting four cards made exclusively with the Imaginisce Cottage Christmas Collection (paper, ribbon, rub-ons, embellies) for this Winter. Cute gnomes, beautiful snowflakes, sweet little houses, and another interesting color scheme. Thanks for stopping by today and Have a great week!
Card #1 is made with my favorite paper from the collection - the gorgeous snowflakes on the bright red background. MMMMM. The stripe is the other side of that paper. All the papers are double sided. The sentiment is a rub-on that I put on some thick white cardstock. The clear snowflakes were attached with silver jump ring so they could dangle. I attached clear blingees in the center of some of the snowflakes using the i-rock tool, also from Imaginisce!
Card #2 is a clean and simple design. I cut a strip of the paper with the trees/presents and then layered that with a pretty red scallop border. I attached the big chipboard sentiment on the top...couldn't be easier. You could make a lot of these for Christmas cards.
Card #3 is made with the cute gnomes! I love their silly faces!! So festive. For this card I used two big chipboard shapes (the large gnome and the sentiment), Some strips of paper, snowflake ribbon, rub-ons, and two big bling snowflakes! There's a lot gnoming on! hahaha. Okay, not really that funny.
Card #4 is back to clean and simple design. I took a long card, made from craft cardstock and added two strips of paper - the green and the houses - and then made my own embellishment out of the stickers. I added a strip of red ribbon and a big bling snowflake to finish it off.
Thank you again for stopping by my blog!

Hi Wanda ... I "do" cards too, and I'm inspired by your projects to get back up to the Craft Loft and put my I-Rock to work! Thank you for your many great ideas -- I love the dangling snowflakes on the edge of the sentiment. And the gnome for the holidays ... very punny! Congrats on Guest Designer shot. I'll be following along!
