Hip Hop Tipsy Thursday!

Welcome all!
(Hello to my FWF friends... it's a post from yesterday,
but had problems with the link so hope you don't mind if I join in today!)

It's another Hip Hop Thursday, so...
you should be arriving from Shemaine's blog!
My project today has nothing to do with the 'tipsy' part of it,
but it's all to do with the NEW mini releases AND a SALE happening over at Unity starting today!

 It's all about WINE...
(I certainly could use a glass right now)
and just felt like at least, getting into the spirit of it! Get it? Haha :) )
You should go see those releases - they are SUPER CUTE!!!
and can't wait to play with them!

Anyway, my theme today is SNOWMAN!
I'm not a big fan of snow, but love snowman!
Something so magical about it! :)

The first one was inspired by these cute little wooden cubes, from Wall Sugar,
that I found at my local scrapbook store the other day.
I thought that it would be so cute to make a square snowman out of it!
I sanded the cubes to make rounded corners/edges (gives it more vintag-y look)
and used Carta Bella Winter Fun papers and Mod Podge'd them onto it.

The hat was made using a file from here,

...and used buttons for the eyes, and copper wire for the nose.
I took a pointy plier and wrapped the wire around and around to make it 'look' like a carrot.

I drilled a hole to fit pipe cleaner arms,
and stamped the sentiment from You Melt My Heart (My Little Shoebox)
onto a cotton muslin fabric and let the snowman hold onto it!
Added some fashion statement by giving him a cozy light blue scarf, all fringed at the ends :) 
I couldn't resist but to add a heart button onto him as well!

...and here's the final pic!

Isn't he adorable?
He's my new friend that sits with me while I craft :)
He's all waterproof, too! :)

Okay, my next one's a card...
using the same Carta Bella Winter Fun papers,
and Snowbody Warms My Heart... such pretty stamp!

Photobucket

I love Carta Bella papers as you can totally sand the edges down to give it a vintage look.
Added some snowman magic using vellum, doily, liquid pearls and gemstones :)
The pretty snowflakes are from here.

...here's another view of it :)

  9. You are so creative. I never would have seen blocks and thought of making a snowman out of them. LOL! I agree he needs a girlfriend now. Maybe even a couple of children. Thanks for sharing your wonderful snowman with us.

    The card is fabulous,totally fabulous. I love all the detail. There is a lot going on but it doesn't have that busy look to it. I need to start taking notes as I see I can learn so much about design by looking at your wonderful creations.
