Peace, love + happiness {Lili of the Valley}

Hi, crafty friends. We’ve reached the end of another week, and I have another holiday card to share today. I’ve really been in a holiday making mood the last few weeks, and I’m loving it. Not loving that they’ve started decorating for Christmas at the malls nearby. It’s too early for that!! Then again, it was too early for the snow we had last week too.

This cute snowman is from the Snowfolk stamp set from the recent Lili of the Valley release. I colored her in with Copics, fussy cut around her leaving a white trim and went over the black lines on the cookie with a white Gelly Roll 05.

I dry embossed the Snowflake Confetti fancy die from Hero Arts on a piece of Stamper’s Select White cardstock from Papertrey Ink. I cut the panel down and added strips of green cardstock near the bottom. The colors are (bottom to top) Pinefeather (Papertrey Ink), Evergreen (Concord & 9th), Jalapeño Popper (My Favorite Things), Clover (C9), Parsley (C9), Vintage Jadeite (PTI) and Mint Julep (PTI). I white heat embossed a sentiment from the Sentiments from a Yeti stamp set from Mama Elephant and mounted my strips of green with a little bit of dimension behind them.

I mounted my white dry embossed piece with the green strips onto a top fold white card base using foam tape. Using Shadow Creek Ink from Altenew, I stamped the Peace banner from the Sentiments from a Yeti stamp set from Mama Elephant and die cut it using the Yeti banner die from Mama Elephant, which coordinates. I added foam to the back and adhered it over the white heat embossing to complete my sentiment.

I used foam tape on the back of the snowman too, so this card has a lot of dimension. The dry embossed panel is on fairly thick foam tape, the green strips on a bit thinner foam tape, and the banner and snowman on thicker foam tape. I finished the card with a few gems from the Festivities mix from Little Things from Lucy’s Cards.

This snowman looks so content, I love it!

Peace, love + happiness. With a little bit of hope. Sounds like the perfect Christmas to me.

I’m trying to limit the amount of Copics I use for my cards, but I’m failing miserably. I really don’t mind.
