Baby, It's Cold Out!

This year, we put up a Christmas tree for our girls that's mostly pink and some bright "candy" colors, so when I discovered this new image from My Favorite Things', Baby It's Cold Out, would perfectly fit on my 2.5" square acrylic block, I decided to make the block into an ornament for them!

I stamped the image with Brilliance Graphite Black on Cryogen White shimmer cardstock and colored it with Copic markers.  Then I adhered the image to the acrylic block, using Crystal Effects around the edges and on the snowman's front.  Before adhering, some transparent glitter was added to the snowman to give him a sparkling personality!

The edges of this beveled acrylic block were lined with clear crystal stickers that I colored with my Copic markers to match the image (love those Copics)!  Then I made a hanger by gluing pink crushed velvet ribbon (Michael's) to the edges of the block, using Fabri-Tac:

I also stamped a sentiment that comes with this set "You Warm My Heart" on another piece of shimmer cardstock and added the custom "Alix & Alyssa" stamp I had made a while back (from Stampin' Up!) and signed my name.  I laminated the back piece, so it will be permanent & protected:

My Favorite Things will release three new stamp sets tomorrow and to celebrate, they are having a new release Cocktail Party on Wed, Dec 5 from 9-11pm EST on SplitcoastStampers.com.  There will be giveaways, coupon codes, a challenge & sneak peeks at the stamps.  You can also find out how you can become a MFT Guest Designer!

What a wonderful idea, Sharon! You may have to make another one though, because I imagine there could be a fight over who gets to keep it when they get older & move on.
