Hello Stampers!  I made this for the CAS Christmas Card Challenge.  The theme for the challenge is snowman.  I went through my stamps and found this snowman stamp.  I stamped the image, colored it with Copics, and then die cut it using the rectangle framelits.  I matted it with basic black card stock.  For the background I cut out a white panel, die cut it with the card front die, wrapped the gingham ribbon around it, and finished off the ribbon treatment with a twine knot.  Next I popped up the snowman and adhered it to the card panel.  After I had it on the card I thought it needed some bling, so I added some gems to the largest snowflakes on the card panel.  For the inside I again die cut a snowflake background out of white card stock.  Next I stamped the sentiment, die cut it, and adhered it to the inside of the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello Stampers!  I made this card for two challenges.  The first was the clean and simple challenge over at Splitcoaststampers: Dog Days of Summer.  I also used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches for my layout.

For my card I started by die cutting a large white circle, and then I filled it with summer die cuts. Next I cut a piece of coastal cabana 4.25x8.5 and scored it at 4.25.  I embossed the card front with the soft waves embossing folder.  For the sentiment I stamped it in coastal cabana and die cut it with a sentiment strip die.  For the inside I added a few summer die cuts.

Hello Stampers!  It is Featured Stamper Sunday!  I have missed a few these past couple of weeks.  This is the card that I CASED:

For my card I started with the focal image.  I stamped, die cut, and then colored my image with Copic markers.  I matted it with a cherry cobbler circle.  Next I cut a panel out of the DSP and matted it with cherry cobbler.  Then I wrapped some crumb cake bakers twine around that panel three times, and I adhered a double bow on it.  I adhered this panel to my crumb cake card base, and then popped up the cardinal with dimensionals.  To finish the front I die cut the sentiment and adhered it to the card base.  For the inside I replicated the same panel as the front and added a sentiment on a circle die cut matted with cherry cobbler.

Hello Stampers!  Taking a break from the candy canes, and participated in the Clean and Simple Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  The challenge was a theme of moths and butterflies.  I went for the butterflies.  I started by cutting a 4x5.25 white panel and die cutting the center of the panel.  Then I selected some patterned paper to go behind the focal point.  Next I stamped and punched out the butterflies, and popped them up around the focal point.  To finish the front I adhered this layer to a lemon lolly card base.  For the inside I cut a 4x5.25 white layer and die cut it.  I adhered this to the inside and stamped a senitment.

Hello Stampers!  I went for a bright candy cane card this time.  My favorite color is lime green, so I had to try one with lime green candy canes.  To start the card I found a circle die cut that would frame one of the circles in the dotted circles embossing folder.  After I die cut the cirlce I embossed it.  Then I found a circle die cut to mat it with poppy parade card stock.  Next I stamped and die cut the candy canes, and popped them up onto the circle.  I found some Doodle bug twine in my stash it is red and white with green glitter thread in it.  So I used that to embellish the candy canes.  For the sentiment I stamped, die cut, and adhered it to the circle.  I added dimensionals to each side and used tape runner in the middle to pop it up.  To finish the front I added a 4x4 inch square to a 4.25x4.25 card base.  For the inside I stamped the sentiment, die cut it, matted it in poppy parade, and adhered it to the inside of the card.

Hello Stampers!  Another candy cane card here.  For this one I did get some inspiration from this card on Pinterest:

For my card I started by finding some swiss dot patterned paper.  From there I found some red cardstock and ink to match.  I stamped and die cut the candy canes.  Then I embossed the snowflakes on the white layer.  For the sentiment I heat embossed the sentiment and used the same ribbon as hers.  And then it was just a matter of adhering everything together.  When I was done I thought the candy canes needed a bow.  So I happened to have one on my desk from a different card and adhered it to the card.  For the inside I embossed a strip of white cardstock and matted it with poppy parade, and stamped the sentiment.

Shiny Candy Cane Card

 

Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin Up Holly Jolly, Holly Berry Happiness

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Paper: Gina K White, Bazzill Red, Recollections 6x6 Peppermint Stripe Paper Pad

Accessories: Stampin' Up Sweet Candy Cane Dies, Scalloped Contours Dies, Jolly Holly Dies, Sounds of the Season Dies, May Arts Twine, Packaging Tape, and Copic Markers

Hello Stampers!  I made yet another card with the candy canes.  My Mom showed me how to use packaging tape to give the candy canes shine like a real candy cane.  Simply adhere packaging tape to the paper you are cutting out your candy cane from, and then die cut it.  Worked like a charm.  So then I went digging to look for a frame for the candy canes, and found the Scalloped Contours Dies.  They fit perfectly.  I embellished them with a twine bow and a silver jingle bell.  Then I need to create the base.  I cut out a red card base and then adhered a layer of the peppermint paper on top.  To finish the front I added my focal panel to the card base.  For the inside I stamped the sentiment, die cut it, and adhered it to the inside.  I embellished it with some holly.  I had made these to embellish the candy cane, but they didn't work out.
