Today I'm sharing with you the new Elisabeth Bell for SCACD Mini Winter Sampler image, Bundle of Love. This image is so cute, so fun and so full of possibilities!

For my first card I stamped the image twice, cut one out and popped it up on a pop dots for dimension. I thought I'd make this little bundle a little girl so I colored her in pink. I paired her with the oh so fun Crate Paper Snow Day Collection paper. I also added some of the gorgeous Polar White Flower Soft to the image before I added the second image. I finished the card up by adding some snowflakes and some Smooch Illuminate to the bell and star and edges of the snowflakes. I also added a bit of bling to the center of the snowflakes, Kaisercraft pink rhinestones.

For the next card I wanted this little bundle to be a boy so I went with blues. I also thought that it would be fun to add some Baby Boy Blue Sparkly Fluff to make it really cuddly! I paired this cutie with Basic Grey Oliver paper. To finish the card I added some buttons and doodling.

For my last card today I decided that this sweet image was just screaming to be paper pieced! I used Cosmo Cricket's Mitten Weather, such a fun stack of paper! I used my nestabilities to cut the image out. To make it a bit more festive I added touches of Silver Flower Soft. I went around my nestie shape with an American Crafts silver metallic marker. To finish off the card I added some metallic dew drops--discounted right now!.

Now you should continue hopping on to Aud's fabulous blog! and don't forget to go shopping!!! And for you in Europe you can shop at Quixotic Paperie and in Canada at Art Du Scrapbooking.
