Dreaming of Snowflakes with Cycling Team Member Katrina Hunt

We have another stellar day on the blog with the latest creations from Cycling Team member Katrina Hunt.  She has some super nifty crafting ideas with Winter Twig to put in your back pocket... but let's have Katrina tell you all about them!

 

Katrina Hunt here and I am SO excited to be part of the Winter Twig Cycling Team.  This is such a dream come true for me!  I have LOTS to share with you today, including some instructions for making a couple of the projects that I did!

 

Looking for a fun banner that you can hang all year?  Well, look no further, because the Winter Twig collection is perfect for making that winter banner to hang all season long!  I also have a PDF that you can download with instructions and supplies to create the banner if you like.

Here are some close up images of each piece of the banner, to make it easier to recreate. 

The tree on this piece comes from an add-on sketch over at Sketch Support.

Here is a close up of that Medley Album envelope that I sized down.

 

And here is a close up of the medallions that I put between each banner piece on the ribbon.

My complete supply list is located on the PDF for the banner, including additional items I used to complete the project.

 

Next up, I found an adorable snowman project on Archiver’s  website.  I thought he would be cute with the papers from Winter Twig, so I got started on him!  He is a little blue, but he is fun for something other than white!  Here is the link for his instructions:  SNOWMAN

As soon as I decided on doing him and saw he had a pipe, I knew the Clear Cut swirl shape would be the perfect thing for smoke out of the pipe!

And just a shot from above, so you can see his hat!

Then, I have had this picture since last Christmas (last Christmas, I gave you my heart…sorry, Christmas songs on the radio!) and had not found the perfect paper to do a layout with it.  Along comes Winter Twig!

I hid the journaling tag, but attached it with twine, so that it could be pulled out from the back of the picture.  I also used some of the Cardstock Stickers for that snowflake and just bent the edges of the top layer.

I didn’t want all my letters to be the same color.  I had thought about painting some of them white.  Then as I was sanding them down to paint, I liked the way they looked, so I decided to leave them just as they were.
