SNOW MUCH FUN WINTER BIRTHDAY CARDS | with Karen

Hey Doodlebug fans! It's wintertime and in my household that means two things - birthdays and birthday cards! So I love sitting down at my crafty table and taking some time to make some winter-themed cards. I am not sure if that is because I am Canadian and we spend so much time in the snow and ice, but it has always seemed perfect to match this season's birthdays with the weather outside. And anyway, with cute collections like Snow Much Fun, who wouldn't want a winter-themed card?

    

For this little set, I started with the coordinating Cards & Envelopes. They are the perfect base to work on and then I don't have to scour my drawers for envelopes that work! In this case I actually even decorated the envelopes up a bit with some die cuts from the Odds & Ends pack just to add a little something extra to the envelope. I am actually not sure why I haven't done that more often as I love the embellishment!

   

As for the scene on each card, I started with a bit of matted paper from the 6x6 paper pad and then just used more die cuts from the Odds & Ends pack together with some sentiments from the Chit Chat pack. Some foam adhesive on some of the die cuts allows me to create a little more dimension and interest on each scene - and it allows me to get more cute shapes on there too which is always a bonus!

   

These cuties - especially that snowman making a snowman - just make me smile. The theme isn't overtly birthday/thank-you, but that is kind of what I love about them.

   

 Whether you are sharing in the ice and snow right now or basking in the sunshine and warmth, I hope these cute little cards inspire you to get crafty. Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,

SNOW MUCH FUN WINTER COFFEE STATION | with Miguel

Creating projects that are both functional and decorative is something I really enjoy, and this time I created this beautiful coffee station using the Snow Much Fun collection. These designs make you want to grab something warm to enjoy on this cold winter day! Haha!

 

My project is made with cardboard to give stability to the piece, I covered it with various designs from the collection to make them all stand out. 

I decorated my box with Icon Stickers,  and in the middle part I made a sliding box to accommodate the chocolate or coffee packets in any position.

I added more decorative touches like this mug and this beautiful teddy bear to make my project even cuter! And that's how you create a super functional and decorative project for this cold season. 

See you soon!

SNOW MUCH FUN - SNOW HAPPY TOGETHER LAYOUT | with Nathalie

Hey there! It's a new year, fresh start, and if you are in the Northern Hemisphere, then it is Winter time here.  So, what better way to get some of our snowy memories documented using the Snow Much Fun Collection.  Let me show you what I created!

I had this picture of my hubby and on a Winter outing.  I had leftover pieces from a previous project, so I decided to repurpose them into this project.

I started with a 9" circle piece of Frosted Friends Paper (leftover), this was trimmed in half and adhered to the corners of the Snow Much Fun paper.   The half circles already provide the placement for everything, so it was easy to get the rest of the page together after this.

Using papers from the 6x6 Paper pad, I backed my photo and placed it on the right of the top half circle.   I created two clusters at the top and bottom left corners of the picture using icon stickers, odds and ends, puffy stickers, and cardstock stickers.

I created a scene on the other side of the page (bottom circle) using a selection of  embellishments.  I made sure that spanned throughout the width of the circle so that it touches the photo on its right side.  Chit Chat is always the best way to create a title.  I just added a few more stickers and sprinkles to complete this layout.

I hope this inspires you to pull your Snow Much Fun  to document your winter and chilly memories in style, or any other crafty project.   Cannot wait to see what you will create. XO
