Joe Kool visited our city bearing snow and cold yesterday! He decided it was SNOW time! It was still here this a.m. but the sun was out strong and melted it all away by afternoon…I’m sure Joe Kool will be back! haha Gotta have a white Christmas!
I really hesitated signing up for this online class… didn’t register until Sunday! In the past I’ve always struggled making the time to complete any of the assignments. For this session there is a day between classes and that was just the break I needed to make one of the assignments! hip hip hooray! I hope I can do some more!
What fun! I love kraft, red, black and white! Throw in the washi tape, twine and a snowman and I’m smilin’!
Joe Kool is just one of the many awesome snowmen from Printworks Collection. You can find him in the store HERE. The sentiment snow time HERE and Happy everything HERE.
I stamped Joe with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers. Get a load of that sparkle!!! You’ve heard about the Wink of Stella glitter brush markers?! WAY cool, like Joe! Check them out HERE! I used the white, red and dark green ones. (brushed right over the coloring) They dry fast too!
Inside…a gift card holder crafted with vellum and washi tape. I didn’t have a gift card to put in the pocket, so I put a piece of green card-stock in there for the photo. Now you can see the white embossed happy everything! (don’t mind the few specks of white…insert TIP…when you’re embossing on vellum… put a dark paper behind so you can see said specks! Just pretend they’re snow! All better now)
Snowflake punch is this one… HERE.
