Hi Everyone,
Welcome to the Sparkle N Sprinkle "Sparkling Wintry Sensations” blog hop! If you hopped here by way of Julie Z., then you're in the right spot. If you'd like to start from the beginning and become eligible for SIX great prizes, then click here.
The Grand Prize is a stamp set of the winner’s choice. As you visit each artist’s blog, there is the possibility of winning one of FIVE more prizes! It’s a secret though. No one knows who “Those Five” are, so leave plenty of comments along the way.
Also during the blog hop, from today through Sunday July 17, the Sparkle Team presents all of the SNS Winter and Holiday stamps on a super special - 20% off! (exception is Spellbinders Combos).
Now, on to my card! I've been having so much fun stamping with the set named Rudy. There are so many darling images and I love this sweet little snowman. He really does melt your heart!
I used some Red Apple (EP276) embossing powder on my die cut hearts and the on the sentiment as well. All of the detailed instructions can be found by clicking here.
And I just wanted to show off that other snowman again that comes in the same set. Way cute! I used glitter and flock and all the details on how to recreate my card can be found by clicking here.
Details and step by step instructions for everyone's cards, can be found in the gallery at Sparkle and Sprinkle.
Don't forget that perhaps I am one of “The Five” with a secondary prize, so leave a comment to become eligible for the Grand Prize and one of the 5 secondary prizes. Winners will be announced Saturday, July 16 between 11AM-3PM at the Sparkle and Sprinkle blog.

Karin, you really do have an "I" for paper :-) The snowmen on both cards are quite endearing at your creative hand! Terrific idea for achieving texture on your cards by heating die cuts with colors of EP, and creating a super custom designer paper by apply Sparkle N Soft to the "snow balls" in the background! I want to make a card using the two layered half panels the way you have! Wonderful cards!
Great little snowmen! Your cards are both so rich in details. I love the embossing and shimmer on the first and how you used the twine to tie things together. The bling and snowflakes on the second one are lovely touches.Lovely projects!
Thanks for sharing! :)
Your cards are looking too much lovely and designing and color are lovely....

Karin, these look so good! I was supposed to use Rudy and I just couldn't get anything to look right. These are beautiful! LOVE the bright red with the blue. Adorable!
Seriously sweet cards, Karin! You are just way too darn good with those markers =) Love the hearts and the super sweet snowman but those jewels on the background are a truly genius idea!
Wow! Love both cards but the first is my favorite! Love all of the dimensionals, snowwmman, glitter, etc.
Love this Karin, the hearts are so unexpected on the Christmas card but they tie in beautifully and look awesome! That snowman is adorable too!
The first is my fav, Karin. Love what you did with the die cut hearts and ep. Those hearts really add an unexpected touch to the snowman card to pop it! Just beautiful.
Snowmen are always a hit at Christmas and you do such a good job with them. I love your cards.
Great cards Karin. I like the thought of the candy cane striped string on the first card and the hearts WOW. The second card is so cute with the snowballs. Thanks.
What a great surprise of the hearts on the first card. They really compliment the card and the theme. The second card is so cute and the paper you used just reminds me of snowballs. Great choice!!
These are both wonderful, Karin! I love your happy little snowmen and the cheerful colors. The textures and layouts are just terrific!
Love your snowmen!!! The colors are great and really make them pop! Brenda
Love the background snow flakes with the blue sparkles in them. The snowman is so adorable and the card is so nicely done. Great job!
Both of these look great! I really like the snowflake embossing on the background of the one card.

Really cute snowmen cards Karin! Love the EP hearts on the first card - really nice touch. Also like the two panels on the second card - gives the effect of a ribbon across the middle in a totally different way. Very nice!
Love both of the cards, giving me a nice warm fuzzy feeling even though they are ice cold snowmen. Especially like the unexpected hearts on the first one. Great job! Shona
Loved the colors you used in both cards and using the baker's twine to embellish was a great idea. Hats off for a job well done.
Hey Karin, I especially liked your Winter Wonderland card. Great choice of background paper and colors. Thanks for the ideas! Peg K.
Hi Karin, I have a friend who spells her name the same way. I love the snowman and the way you "pop" out your focal points. I would make this card!!! Thank you for sharing.
Such cute snowmen. The winter wonderland snowman is one of my favorites.
The cards are adorable. The use of the stamps and the coloring make then just "pop" when you see them. Will save your directions!
I love those two cards Karin, with an I.... I like how you used dimensional to make those snowmen pop out. Here is that wonderful wintery font, again... More ideas i will have to lift! Thank you for sharing!
