Happy Winter Birthday...Curtain Call~Winter Wonder, Merry Monday #140~Snowflakes, Virginia's View #11~Clean Slate, Just Us Girls #274~Winter, Christmas Card Challenge #5

Hello...

We're waiting for a furnace guy to come our way (as mentioned in my previous post) and since he's not arrived yet, I'm sneaking in like a flash with another "I have only white card stock on hand' card!  This one is full-on Winnie & Walter...swoon-inducing products and incredible service. Check them out if you haven't already! *Winter* is several die-cuts layered (Seasons Cutaways) , and the snowflakes (Bigger Bang Flurries) are dewdrop-ink stamped with peanut brittle, toffee crunch (sugar theme continues *grin*), and grey flannel.


Firing my cards into the galleries at:

Curtain Call~Winter Wonder







and a new-to-me challenge (thank you Gail!): The Christmas Card Challenge #5

NOTE: Thrilled, honoured and delighted that my card received recognition as the Christmas Card Challenges winner. THANK YOU immensely!

NOTE: Delighted and thrilled to receive be an Honourable Mention selection over at Merry Monday. THANK YOU immensely!

Furnace guy arrived...

Thanks so much for dropping by; your visit and comments add sparkle to my day.

Love this sweet card dear friend. Those colors are so beautiful together and your design is just a delight. The little pearl is the perfect touch and that die cut is uber cool. Might have to expand my budget and get a few W&W goodies... especially after seeing this beauty. Hope things are alright with you. Take good care of yourself and your mum. Thinking and praying for you. big hugs. Bev

Wowza!!! That is one gorgeous winter card! I just love white on white and those beautiful silver and gold snowflakes just make for an amazing card! You are doing wonderful things with your limited stash Carol! Glad the furnace guy made it. We are having some Canadian weather down here with a high of only 9 and wind chills way below zero!

Oh, this would be worth having a winter birthday for! The winter cutaway is standout, and I love the snowflake background.

Wow, this is an amazing card Carol! I am really loving your "only white" cardstock because you are making some amazing cards that still have lots of color on them! And of course you are still tickling my sweet tooth with those ink colors! I so love that winter die and those amazing snowflakes. Gosh I think I need me some Walter and Winnie stamps/dies. lol I hope the furnace man go there! Hugs, Brenda

Beautiful winter birthday card...I love your cluster of snowflakes, so sweet. Wishing you heat too and very soon too, no fun being cold.

Gorgeous card Carol. LOVE all the white space and your beautiful collage of snowflakes. And love the name of your inks ... they look as yummy as they sound! :) xx

Barb Ghig said...

Absolutely stunning card, Carol! The snowflakes are so beautiful, and I love the sentiment so much...WOW! I'm so impressed with what you can do with 'just white cardstock'!!!
I hope the furnace guy has been there and fixed you up by now :)

Jumped out of the Curtain Call gallery at me! So soft and lovely and perfect for a winter birthday! Why do furnaces seem to go out when the temp is the lowest? Same thing just happened to my parents in MI. Big hug to keep you warm.

Shirley-Anne said...

A beautiful CAS card

Julie B said...

This such a beauty Carol, your restricted cardstock isn't holding back your creativity!
Hope the furnace man gets your Mum's boiler sorted in this cold weather. My daughter's boiler was on the blink before Christmas and they were without hot water and heat for a few days and they'd just had it serviced not long before! At least the weather was quite mild at the time! :)

sandie said...

I adore the colouring here and all that dimension-a beauty for sure xx

Dana said...

Oh my gosh Carol, this is jaw dropping gorgeous!!! The white space and the gold snowflake!! Wow!!!

Kim S said...

I LOVE it! I just wandered over to my craft desk because I unexpectedly have to make a birthday card for tomorrow. I decided to browse a few blogs first - and look at this LOVELY card that I can CAS(E)!!

I hope the furnace guy does well. I live in fear of our ancient furnace giving up. It's not just that the furnace is very expensive, but the room it is in is no longer up to code so there would also be structural changes.

Monika Reeck said...

i Guess if cuttebug and dies sentiment there you can go wrong and hubby so clever to pack these all...my hubby hehe he will never do this..thanks to him Carol he is a best man and best partner at card making LOL

Deepti said...

This is gorgeous love the soft look on the BG snowflakes :)

Geri said...

You have totally captured the beauty of winter in your card! The white sentiment on the white card is exactly as it is outside! A splash of elegant metallic colors add just the right amount of dazzle without compromising the softness of your design. Breathtakingly beautiful! Mother Nature would be proud!

I sometimes think that wintertime is bleak but you have showed with this exceptionally, very remarkably lovely card that winter can also be extremely beautiful!! What a boost and a ray of sunshine for anyone who might have a birthday in the winter time!! My Sis-in-law gets blue with the winter so a card like this would make her day!! It made mine because it just shines with love like you do!!!
