You Warm My Heart

Hi all,

Claire has the monthly Clean & Simple challenge for the Paper Players blog this week with a winter animal theme. I have many stamp sets that work for this, I just seem to struggle with the clean & simple part, LOL. In fact, I actually made three cards and decided the first two were not really CAS. I'll show them at the end because they turned out super cute. (and now I have 3 holiday cards for 2022 already, so it's a good thing.)

This card is a mini-slimline style. It's one layer, stamped using my Misti, and colored with colored pencils. Not sure if kitties count as winter animals, but in this Anita Jeram set, they are, walking through a snow storm.

I used very few supplies. The white card stock is Gina K Designs Heavy weight. The Black Onyx and Sea Glass inks are GKD, and I used Prismacolor colored pencils, and of course, the Misti to stamp everything. The stamp set is called Kittens & Mittens and it's by Colorado Craft Co.

Here is the inside. This stamp set has two images and three sentiments. I managed to use all of them on this card.

Here are the fronts of the other two cards. I made the bears with the night sky first, decided it wasn't CAS and made the snow angel card, which is even less CAS, LOL!

The stamp sets for this card are Lawn Fawn Winter Skies and Avery Elle Starry Scene. To make the sky look night-ish, I first used GKD Blue Denim ink, then stamped over that with GKD Wild Lilac and Lovely Lavender. The images are colored with Copics.

The stamp set for this final card is called Snow Much Fun by Lawn Fawn. The background is made with an ancient SU wheel stamp. (I forget how fun they are.) This is also a mini slimline style card, and the images are colored with Copics.

The card stock and inks are all by GKD. The night sky card uses Hero Infinity rounded corner rectangle dies on both the card base and the top panel. I used GKD Master Layouts 7 dies on the snow angel card to cut the top panel.

Thanks for looking in,

Colleen
