Frosty Fun Birthday Card w Pazzles Craft Room Exclusive Files

Hello crafty friends,
Today is my day to share over at the Pazzles craft room. So to start my new year off, I decided to share a  card I had to make for my niece. Often I create birthday cards that aren't necessarily specific to the season in which they happen, but this card is going to my niece who was born in the first week of January. Plus she lives in Michigan so, I thought a cute little snowgirl card would fit the bill.


Here is a look at my finished card opened. It is an easel card and the closed size is approximately 5.5 x 5.5 (not including the protruding balloons). The base paper is from the DCWV Little Miss Stack. The Snow girl’s coat and hat are cut from the DCWV White Ginger Stack. The rest of the pieces were all cut in plain white cardstock. I then used my shin han markers to color in the pieces. I did also use the Whimsy Ink Set to lightly ink around the outline of the snow girl as well as the balloon strings. I used my Pebbles chalk inks to add some rosy cheeks to my snow girl’s face. I used my white chalk marker for the glints in her eyes. I used the following markers:

Turquoise Blue Marker: Balloon

Leaf Green Marker: Balloon and present

Peony Purple Marker: Balloon

Here’s a closer look at the sentiment. I cut all the pieces in plain white cardstock.  I colored the letters and the present ribbon in with my Peony Purple Shin Han marker. I also used my leaf green shin han marker for the present. I edged the outline with  my Crystal Blue Ink pad. For the dot of the “I”, I used a cute little puffy sticker from the “Stuck On You” Puffies sticker set.


Here’s a closer look at my stamped tag. I used my Thistle Ink Pad and a stamp set to stamp the sentiment. I finished it off with some of my Thistle Thick Twine and a little pearl gem. I did also use some foam tape to give it a little lift.

Here’s a look at the finished card closed. My card features some of the fun new EXCLUSIVE cuts I created for the Pazzles craft room this month! Here are just four of the newest ones.

January Challenge Winter Card and New Freebie

Happy New Year crafty friends. It’s a new year and new month. That means we are back to our monthly challenges over on the PCW design team blog. Please click the challenge tab for details on our challenge. Our challenge is always an “anything goes” challenge with an “optional” twist. This month’s optional twist is to use a snowflake and or snow. So to go with our optional twist I created this card.

Here’s a look at my completed card. The size was 5 x 6.5. I used some papers from the DCWV Sunday Afternoon Stack. The base is white cardstock. I didn’t have the right color of blue for my sentiment, so I decided to use my markers to color it. I then added some pearl accents to the centers of the snowflakes and in the top left corner.

I used one of the new pcw files, warm winter wishes quick card cut file set. This cut file set includes the finished png and jpg files of the card front. Perfect for printing out and hand cutting print n cut or for using with your digital and or other hybrid projects.

So to go with this month’s “optional twist” here are a couple of free snowflake cut files. It also includes the .png and .jpg files.

Free for the entire month of January. To download, it will say 1.00, but when added to the cart and you check out, it will be free.
