Cold & Frosty postcard

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Cathy here with a cold and frosty postcard for you.

Stamps Used:

Fat Cat

Small snowflake set

I started out with a digital background paper that had some snowflakes on it. I then stamped Fat Cat on the bottom of the card. 

I always see him in a sweater, so I colored him with copic markers and made his middle into a blue sweater. I then stamped 1 of the snowflakes from the Small snowflake set in blue ink. After I got done, I added some snowflake confetti to the sweater to make it like an ugly sweater. 

You still have time to join the cold and frosty challenge.

Wintery tag

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Goodmorning, Cathy here with a wintery tag for you all.

Stamps Used:

CDRoly jester

Doodles circles

ATC Mona window

small snowflake set

I started out with a digital tag that I printed out. I then stamped the middle of the Mona window randomly on the background I did the same thing for the small snowflake set and the Doodles circles;

 

I stamped the CDRoly jester on white cardstock and colored it in with copic markers.

Lastly, I added a sliver pipe cleaner and some snowflake glitter to the tag.

Come join the fun.

Cold And Frosty Cookie Basket

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

 

Hello Portal Peeps!!  Gail here today with a little project to hold some cookies.   I did some baking and thought it would be nice to give some away in a cute little basket.  I've used blues and snowflakes and glitter for that Cold and Frosty look.

I used Carmen's Veranda Reindeer Doll with Lost Coast Designs Small Snowflakes and ATC Doodle Circles stamps.  I altered the measurements from a tag holder project I made the other day, increasing the basket size to accommodate my cookie package.

I started by stamping Reindeer Doll twice on white card, because I need an image for both sides of the basket.  I masked and stamped ATC Doodle Circles with pale blue ink all over the card.  I need some extra pieces of background for the sides and handle.

I stamped the Small Snowflakes with dark blue ink and coloured the deer with shades of blue distress markers and Promarkers.  I gave the dress a watercolour wash.  I cut the stamped panels with a tag die and backed with the blue card I used to make the basket.  Then I added some glitter, cos you need a bit of sparkle at Christmas.

Here's a view of the finished basket with my pig shaped cookies on the side.

We hope you get some time to stamp and join us at the Cold and Frosty challenge.  Don't forget to pop back and check out all the awesome inspiration from the team.  

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

 

Hello Portal Peeps!  Gail here today with some more inspiration for the Red, White and Blue challenge.  I'm seeing a lot of dark backgrounds around so I decided to go midnight blue and make a winter scene.

I stamped the navy panel with Lost Coast Designs Small Snowflakes using white ink.  I stamped Carmen's Veranda Snow Cowboy with sky blue ink, did some fussy cutting and used a couple of snowy hills dies to cut the snowdrifts.  I used markers to add a little red and blue to the snowman.

Link up your stamped projects predominantly featuring the colours Red, White and Blue

 for your chance to win Lost Coast Dollars.  Linky closes 23.59 on the 30th.

Deep Mid Winter - Happy New Year Ornament

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Hello friends - as the year is drawing to a close, so is our current challenge In the Deep Mid Winter. 

Today I wanted to share with you an ornament I made to welcome in the new year...

I found a bunch of these neat wood ornaments at a garage sale this fall and I knew they would be so much fun to use.  I started off by inking up the ornament with a couple shades of pink Distress Oxide ink. I then added black ink for the ornament cap.  I stamped a few Large Snowflakes and Small Snowflakes around the edge. I then stamped Happy New Year from the Party Words set in the center. I added a bit of glitter here and there...because everything is better with glitter you know - LOL!!

 I finished off the ornament with a bit of die-cut pine branches a jingle bell and ribbon.

It's ready to be placed on the tree to help welcome in 2024!!

Hope you've all had an amazing year and if you haven't already take a bit of time to join in on the fun. All the best to you and yours in the coming year!

In The Deep Midwinter - Glittery Snowflake Wishes

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

This month we are celebrating everything winter....

Challenge #180 - In The Deep Midwinter!

Today I wanted to share my first creation with you and it combines a few of my favorite things...snowflakes, glitter and blue!!!

I simply love the glitter and sparkle of real snowflakes so I thought I'd use some glitter embossing powder on these ones! (Large Snowflakes, Small Snowflakes) I wish you could see the amazing sparkle of these IRL - they are just so pretty.  I used several shades of blue ink to make the background then I stamped the Long Swirl in another shade for fun.  Finally I stamped the sentiment to finish it off. (Party Words)

I hope you take a bit of time to create this month and join in on the fun!!

Black And White Christmas Elves

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

 

Hello Portal Peeps.  Gail here today with a bit more inspiration for the Black and White Challenge.  I often stamp images and leave them uncoloured and when your stamps have as much detail as the ones offered by Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda they always look really good just as they are.   I decided to try a Christmas card and recruited Carmen's Veranda Elf with Star and Elf for the starring roles.

 I kept this a one layer card by using masks on the elves.  I stamped Elf with Star and Elf, masked them and stamped the edge of Lost Coast Designs Fourth Dimension for the floor and the vertical Merry Christmas in black.  With the masks still in place I stamped randomly with one of the Small Snowflakes and grey archival ink.  Unmask and magic!!!  I went round the edge with a black promarker to give a nice framed finish.

Join the fun with your black and white, or white and black stamped projects for a chance
to win Lost Coast dollars.  

Thanks for dropping by.  Don't forget to check out all the awesome projects from the team.

Just Like Santa

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

 

Hello Portal Peeps!!   Only a few sleeps left til santa calls!!   It's too late for cards now so I am finishing some last minute tags.  Doesn't Mona look splendid in her Santa hat!!!!!

 

I cut my tags using a Stamploration die which has a nice stitch edge and stamped Santa Mona with black archival ink.  I masked Mona and stamped the Small Snowflakes using blue archival ink.  It's great that you get 8 snowflakes in the set cos then you can stamp them all at the same time!  And as they say, everyone is different LOL.

And what's better than one Mona?????

Three Monas!!!!!
