Simple Snowflake Christmas

Haven't started your holiday cards yet? Here is a super quick and easy one! I created the snowflakes using the Northern Flurry embossing folder in my big Shot. Then I spritzed the paper with a mix of champagne shimmer paint and alcohol (it's hard to see in the photo but its just a little subtle sparkle and its super pretty!). I stamped the sentiment "season's greetings" in cherry cobbler ink and added a green taffeta ribbon. Then attach the whole thing to a piece of cherry cobbler card stock! That's it! Super quick and easy... it's not too late to make your cards too!

stamps:Many Merry Messages
ink:cherry cobbler
paper: white, cherry cobbler

2 ways to use shimmer paint!

I really LOVE shimmer paint! For this card, I used shimmer paint in two different ways. I started with an embossed piece of white card stock (I used the Northern Flurry embossing folder to emboss the snowflakes). The first way was to use champagne shimmer paint on a sponge and apply it right to the snowflakes--since they're embossed, it's easy to apply just to the raised portion and not the whole card. Then I applied the silver shimmer paint directly to the snowflake stamp with a sponge and used it to stamp onto the not quite navy card stock, just like you would with an inked stamp. It looks so pretty! Then I punched out the snowflake with the ornament punch and added it to the card with a dimensional. I added some ribbon tied right above it so it appears as if it's hanging on the ribbon!

stamps: serene snowflakes, Christmas greetings
ink:marina mist
paper:whisper white, not quite navy
other:shimmer paint in champagne and silver, ornament punch, norther flurry embossing folder, 1/8" taffeta ribbon

Sweet Bunny Card!

One of my favorite sets in the holiday mini catalog is Merry Crittermas. It has such cute little critters to color! For this card I used the bunny and the sentiment " wishing you a season of sweetness". This is a really simple card. I just stamped the bunny onto white cardstock and colored him using makers. Then for the card base, I used the Northern Flurry embossing folder to create the pretty snowflake background. I really love this folder, It's so pretty! Then I used some taffeta ribbon and a "fork bow" to finish it off! Hope you like him!

stamps: merry crittermas
ink: black
paper:marina mist, whisper white, rose red
other: taffeta ribbon, northern flurry embossing folder

Holiday Greetings!

Hello again! I'm finally able to find a few minutes to update my blog. I spent the past two days at the Stoughton Victorian Holiday fair and the past few weeks getting ready for it. I will show you photos of what I made soon (haven't downloaded them yet). The fair was a lot of fun but was taking up all of my time... so hopefully now things won't be so crazy - although with Christmas only a few weeks away, they probably will be!

Here's a card I made using the Serene snowflakes stamp set. I stamped it onto crumb cake card stock using whisper white, cherry cobbler and early espresso inks. The cool snowflakes are punched out using the Northern Frost decorative strip die for the big shot. Then I put a red glimmer brad in the center of one for some added sparkle! The "holiday greetings" sentiment is from the set Sincere Salutations.

stamps: sincere salutations, serene snowflakes
ink: whisper white, cherry cobbler, early espresso
paper: crumb cake, cherry cobbler, early espresso, whisper white
other: glimmer brad, Northern Frost Die, dimensional, border punch

Penguin from Owl Punch

I can't get enough of this owl punch-- I used it to make this penguin! Isn't he cute? You simply cut off the owls ears to make it look like this. I used the little heart piece to make his beak! So much fun! The card is really simple too. I stamped some snowflakes on Marina Mist Card stock using the Serene Snowflakes set and then tore it before adhering it to the white card to make it look like a hill of snow! then a Simple Merry Christmas on the bottom and some red satin ribbon to make it look pretty.

stamps: Serene Snowflakes, Christmas Greetings
ink:Marina Mist
paper:Marina Mist, Whisper White, black, Pumpkin Pie
other: Owl Punch, real red satin ribbon, dimensional

Christmas Card Time!

Sorry! I've been super bad about keeping up with my blog right now. I've been so busy working on holiday projects and doing workshops that I haven't had much free time. Good news is, I have a ton of projects to share... now I just need to find some time to share them!

Here's a card that we did at my recent Christmas card stamp-a-stack. Didn't it turn out cool? You can't really tell in the photo but the white piece in the center is spritzed with some a mix of shimmer paint and alcohol that I put in a little spray bottle. It makes a great shimmery mist that adds just a little sparkle! I think this one was the champagne color. Then I stamped the wreath from the hostess set Northern Hearts. The bird is punched out using real red card stock and the XL bird punch. Then it's framed with some chocolate chip card stock. The card base is Crumb Cake with snowflakes stamped on it from the same Northern Hearts set with Versamark ink. The sentiment is from the stamp set Heard from the Heart.

Hope you enjoy this card. I will try to find time this week to post some more!
