Winter's front door !! Brrrr

Hello Ai Fans !!
Winter is here , when I made this card we had snow and I thought many of you could relate to this front door scene I made. The kids go outside and play and all the stuff ends up right outside the front door , lol .This is was alot of fun making , I am loving these Ai doorways , today I am using the Door sku#3386 and the Ai Dec /Jan set sku # CS3371.

I stamped all the pieces and then colored and stickled them , then fussy cut them out , I popped the all up so they were not flat to the card , it's always good the add texture and dimension to your projects so the come to life.I ran the front layer thru the big shot using Tim Holtz brick embossing folder , I added flower soft Christmas mix to the wreath  , you always color it first , so if some places don't cover its okay  , I also added a red bow on top of the bow on the wreath , instead of the door at the bottom middle  , I set it back and to the side and then tore silver glitter paper to create the glistening snow , however you make you doorways they are sure to turn out so very cute and so easy to do , hope you give them a try.
Thank for stopping by and please leave me a commit , I would love to hear from you .
Have a Happy scrappin day !!!

Up and Away Christmas

Hello Ai Fans !!!
I hope you all had an amazing family filled Christmas as I did . Today I chose to used the limited edition Girlfriends  Up and Away sku # UMY4231  stamp , all proceeds are donated to  Open Arms  International  , this stamp is only available for a short time so be sure to scoop this one up for your collection and support a great cause . 

I wanted to give a little Christmas dash to this stamp ,so I paper pieced red plaid paper to the balloon ,created a cloud background using pan pastels and a cloud line stencil ,I then die cut two clouds and popped them up on glue dots , I fussy cut the balloon stamp and popped it up on glue dots too.I added the Happy Holidays sentiment from Penguin Holiday set sku # CS3217. I used Copic markers to color my image .
Inside the card I used the sentiment from Ai doorways Dec/Jan set SKU # CS3371 and added the paper that I used on the balloon , and the snow flakes are from the Penguin Holiday set I stamped into MS glue pad and then added  diamond glitter .
this poinsettia was cut with Spellbinders Layered Poinsettia die  , i curl the petals down on one layer and curl them up on the next , this gives a life like feel to the flowers instead of a flat lifeless look , inked the edges and added a pearl to the center  , I used glue dots to layer together.
