Reindeer Cheer

 Supplies: Paper: SU crumb cake, riding hood red, early espresso, garden green Gina K white, PaperCut sno cone, DCWV silver foil Accessories: PoppyStamps: Whittle Forest Reindeer Kit, Lawn Fawn Stitched Snowflake Backdrop, Essentials by Ellen Alpine snowfall, Waffle Flowers-Additional circles dies, Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders, Bakers' Twine, red gem

Hello Stampers!  I made this card using this weeks Freshly Made Sketches sketch.  

To make this card I started with a crumb cake card base.  For the two panels I die cut the Lawn Fawn stitched snowflake backdrop. For the focal panel there was a lot of die cutting.  I started with the alpine snowfall in sno cone.  Then I die cut a white circle to put behind the alpine snowfall piece.  Then I die cut the reindeer and tree and adhered it to the focal piece. I wrapped the bakers twine around the card base, and then adhered the focal panel with dimensionals.  And to finish the card I adhered a bow to the bakers twine.  This was a fun card to make, I love all of the die cutting!!

In the Meadow We Can Build a Snowman

Supplies: Stamps: Tim Holtz Tattered Christmas  Ink: SU whisper white, Gina K kraft, VersaMark  Paper: SU real red, chocolate chip, pumpkin pie, old olive, Gina K. white, kraft, and black onyx  Accessories:  Tim Holtz Assembly Snowman, Brutus Monroe alabaster white embossing powder, SU banner punch, baker's twine, blending brushes, Tim Holtz paper distresser, Darice embossing folder

Hello Stampers!  Today on Splitcoast Stampers for the inspiration challenge, the Pinterest board was by Tim Holtz.  I found this pin to use as inspiration for my card.  I also made this for the Free For All challenge on Splitcoast Stampers: use your favorite color combo.  My favorite combo is red, kraft, and white.

To make this card I started with the embossed snowflake background.  Before embossing this panel I used the Tim Holtz distresser around the edge of the panel.  Then I sponged on some white ink to enhance the snowflakes.  Next I tore a piece of white paper for the snow and used the distresser around the edge of the paper.  After this I adhered the snow piece to the background, and I used my blender brush around the edge with kraft ink to distress it.  Next I assembled the snowman, I used my blender brush with kraft ink to distress the edges of the snowman, and adhered it to the card.  For the sentiment I embossed it, turned it into a banner, used my blender brush to distress it, and adhered it to the card.  To finish the card I tied on a baker's twine bow, and adhered the background to the card base.  That's all for now!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Perfect Perch

Supplies: Stamps: Whipper Snapper Perfect Perch  Ink: Memento tuxedo black  Paper: white and red Gina K, DCWV Glitzy paper pad, Lawn Fawn peace love joy 6x6 pad  Accessories: copic markers, ribbon, and liquid applique

The featured stamper on SCS this week is Magouille, and this is the card that provided me with inspiration for my card.  I liked the layout of her card and the snowman image.  I knew I had a couple Whipper Snapper snowmen stamps that I could use for the focal image.  I colored the snowman with copic markers and added some snow with liquid applique and a ribbon to tie it altogether.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Time for a warm beverage?

Supplies: Stamps: Stampendous, Like it a Latte Paper: DCWV blue, GKD white, Stamping Bella white, silver glitter paper  Ink: Memento tuxedo black Accessories: Sizzix postage stamp die cut, copic markers, liquid applique, ribbon from Michaels, Darice embossing folder, gems, dimensionals

Happy New Year!!  I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!  Ours was busy and was made even busier for me when my husband decided to get the stomach flu the night before Christmas Eve!  UGH!  I was flying around like a mad woman! Everything got done and holiday cheer was spread, along with the flu bug.  Unfortunately Brian's family now are all starting to get the flu.  They certainly didn't ask for that for Christmas!  Hopefully it will be short lived, and hopefully I will stay in the clear and not get it! :)

I didn't have much time for stamping over break, so I spent tonight stamping and hopefully most of tomorrow stamping!  The CAS challenge this week is the theme of beverages.  I thought this cute monkey would be a fun image to use for this challenge.  And I was able to break out the copic markers.  I do love to color! :)

Thanks for stopping by!

So that is how this card began, I found a snowman I wanted to use, and picked out some of my new goodies from my Stampin' Up order that I received today, and presto, a snowy card was made! :)

I really like the simplicity of clean and simple cards. This is a card I made for fun using a set of Basic Grey acrylic stamps and Verve for the sentiment. The layout is based on a fall-to-layout sketch.

Thanks for looking!

Give Me a Snow Day and I'll Give You a Card!

Life has been a whirlwind since my last post, kind of like this blustery snow storm we had today! Being a first time homeowner has left me with little time for my crafty hobby. I have missed it very much, and after hearing that there was no school today I knew I was going to try to squeeze in some much needed stamping time! I checked out the SCS sketch challenge last night and the wheels started turning. I was helping clear away the snow and I remembered that I had purchased the GKD "Let it Snow" set with that super cute snowman. How appropriate for a day like today! I colored the snowman with copic markers, added stickles for the snow at the bottom and falling flakes. I used my stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the let it snow three times at the bottom panel. The ribbon is from Michaels, and I cuttlebugged the base of the card with the snowflake embossing folder. Well that is all for now...I did get together with my mom last weekend and made some tags so I will be posting those hopefully this weekend!

Stay warm!!
