Polar bears like pink too

I had this fuchsia card stock and really wanted to use it along with white card stock (cuz I like the combo), but could not picture it for a winter card... that was before I saw this polar bear :) I gave her a pink/fuchsia scarf and liked the way it turned out
I also used 3D paint for the snow. Used a lot of Stickles on the sizzix embossing folder, though it's kind of hard to see it

This card is for following challenges:

Delightful inspiration - to use this sweet "winter bear"

Double delight - anything goes

Joy to the world...

I was playing with the new Sizzix die I bought and here is what I came up with... I cut "joy" out of burgundy cardstock to use on another card. But this is actually what was left after I pilled my word out and I decided to use it on top of the white cardstock

several layers, but it was so simple :)

Thank you for visiting!!!

Christmas cards...

Over last few weeks I've been working on the Christmas cards, but just didn't get a chance to post anything here :( Now I'm going to try to catch up and post few of my projects.
Here is one...

Clean and simple card with white and blue cardstock. I used Sizzix embossing folder for the background. I got this folder at JoAnn's and really like these framed snowflakes. Not much coloring here :) but I did use a lot of stickles (though it is hard to see them all on this picture).

This card is for Simon Says Challenge - make a Christmas card, but with no green or red
Thank you so much for stopping by and visiting me!

Birthday card for a neighbor girl

My MIL asked me to make a card for a neighbor's daughter for her birthday. She told me that this girl's favorite colors are orange and pink ... and she is a girly-girl. So I figured I would make a card with a 3D dress.
So I made a skirt using tulle the same way you would making a real tutu. I used orange and pink (though it's harder to see pink on this picture). Then I cut out a tank top, added glitter and attached them together... For the background I used Sizzix embossing folder. I always wanted to try sizzix embossing folders (because of the designs they have that are different from Cuttlebug), but I only have a cuttlebug and didn't want to spend money on another machine. I searched everywhere, but could not find any information online to see if I could use the Sizzix embossing folders in a Cuttlebug. Anyway, I decided to just take a chance and buy them....
Well, the bottom line - yes, you can use Sizzix embossing folders in your Cuttlebug machine, but you have to use a much-much thicker card stock (other wise it will rip).
Have you girls used Sizzix folders? Would love to hear what you have to say!
