Hello friends. Recently a new shop, The Paper Cottage, opened in my area. The owner, Brenda, has been a scrapper and cardmaker for years and finally decided to open her own shop! Anyhow, Brenda carries the adorable Paper Smooches stamps and I made some samples for her shop.
I used the Warm Hearts stamp set for this card. As you can see, this cute little frosty fella requires minimal coloring so it's a fast and easy card. I did add some Glamour Dust to the snowman and the snowflake cause you know I love my sparkle! The sentiment is part of the stamp set too. The paper is Winter Fun by Carta Bella - love the patterns and the blue/brown colors. I used My Favorite Things Dienamics - Fishtail Flags Layers Stax to cut the banner.
Just so you know, The Paper Cottage, is having a Holiday Open House on Saturday, November 24. There will be snacks, holiday ideas, and some special discounts that day. If you are in the area, be sure to stop by - I know you'll love the shop. Brenda will be celebrating her birthday that day, so be sure to tell her Happy Birthday!
Thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend and stay warm :-D
Hugs, Anita
