Warm Winter Wishes

It is our second WINTER season at The Four Seasons 
and we have a super fun mood board for inspiration!
You can however, create anything as long as it is WINTER themed!

Being the animal lover I am, I really loved this mood board and could of gone
several different ways with my card but I had purchased this adorably cute
Crafters Companion polar bears stamp and die set, (that I popped up).  If you aren't familiar,
these small sets that include both the die and stamp can usually be purchased
for under $10, not bad for both the dies and the stamp.  I 'might' have a few
more different sets of these in my stash!

I cut a snowbank from Lawn Fawns Stitched Hillside Border. 
The mountain and trees are Cottage Cutz Campin' Out Mountains & Trees.
The sentiment is from The Ton.

It's WINTER at The Four Seasons and we would love to see you there!!

Awesome Day

 Happy New Year!!

The new year brings us to our first Word Power challenge of the year
where we are all about making your sentiment have center stage,
not those normal small sentiments but a BIG one
that instantly draws the eye to it.

This card is nothing to write home about for sure
and is pretty simple using a few pieces of scrap papers I have
pulled from my scraps I am trying to use up.
The butterfly was sitting on my desk so I added it to the sentiment
that I die cut from a Simon die I purchased during one of their 99 cent sales.
The floral paper has bit of glittery sparkle in it so I added a few gems
to add even more sparkle.

Get your BIG sentiments out and join us over at Word Power.

Happy New Year

Hello Colorful Options Friends, are you ready for our first challenge in the New Year?
We have a pretty mood board for inspiration but if not a fan you are
always welcome to use rainbow colors!


I was totally inspired by the center snowflake picture as living in Michigan
I know that scene all too well!!  Plus, the fact it gave me an opportunity to pull 
out an older and much neglected snowflake die from Impression Obsession.
I for one certainly miss that company, it seems we lost a lot of our great
card making suppliers in 2025, sad for us all!
I die cut my panel from a shimmery white card stock, IRL if has a pretty 'glow'
that of course isn't captured in the photo.  I popped the panel up then added a
sentiment stamped and die cut from The Ton Easy Expressions Christmas.


We hope you will join us at Colorful Options for our challenge,
what else do you have to do in January??
