Mr Snowman and the Envelope Punch Board

There are many versions of this snowman around the webs, and I took bits and pieces from all of them to make my own! We made him at December's Stamp Club meeting, and although he looks complicated, he is simple to make! AND he fits in a standard business envelope.

Peaceful Snowflakes

This print is another favorite from the Season of Cheer DSP pack. I love the details on the snowflakes! I colored the wood Snowflake Element white by pressing it into my Versamark pad and then into white embossing powder.

Dove of Peace two ways

We made this card at Stamp Club--the dove is one of my favorite stamps this season! After stamping it in Versamark and using gold embossing powder, we added details with a white pen.

Here's what it looks like without the white accents:

Still a pretty card, but the white adds some drama, I think. Either way, the stamp is lovely! If you love it as much as I do, order it soon, before it retires!

That's where most of my creative projects get posted.

Today I wanted to share with you a Christmas card I made at my demonstrator group meeting. It was designed by Carrie Rhoades.

I love the "old-fashioned Christmas" look! Kinda makes me laugh when trends from my childhood and teen years are "retro."

We made this beautiful Christmas card last night at Stamp Club. It's really hard for me to get good pictures of cards that have the foil papers or glimmer paper on them, so sorry it's not a great photo. I love the embossed vellum tag and the gorgeous ornament with Red Glimmer paper behind it.

Holiday Weekly Deals for Nov 10

New Weekly Deals are here!

You'll definitely want the Snow Flurry Punch after you see the December Stamp Club projects! 

Gold Accent Pillowbox

I love the new Square Pillowbox Thinlits. It's such a versatile box, and you can dress it up or down, depending on the occasion. I think the gold accents here would make it work for either Thanksgiving or Christmas--it could be a place marker, a hostess gift, or a gift card holder!

The gold snowflake shape comes as part of the thinlits set, and it cuts beautifully through the Glimmer Papers and the Foils. I used large rhinestones on two of the snowflakes, then an Iced Rhinestone Embellishment (also from the Holiday Catalog) on the snowflake nearest the bow.

Ruffled Leaves

I originally designed this card for a demonstrator shoebox swap in September, then decided I loved it so much I'd use it for October Stamp Club, too! Stamp Club members received complete instructions so they can  use the technique over and over again.

Lighthearted Maple

I'm so in love with Lighthearted Leaves. It's my favorite leaf set in a LONG time. It's so intricate and textured, and so on trend right now with all the Zentangling art!

This was a simple card to make. I stamped the maple leaf from Lighthearted Leaves in Versamark on Early Espresso cardstock, then added gold embossing powder and heated it to set. The dies in the Leaflets Framelits set cut it out perfectly for me.

So grateful

There are several things I love on this card.

First, the Softly Falling embossing folder. It works any time of year, even though it's in the Holiday Catalog. I love the texture. You can choose to have the "heavy" texture anywhere on the card, because this is a 6x6 folder. So many options!

Second, the gold candy dots. Are you wondering where they are in the catalog? They are actually the White Perfect Accents colored with a gold Sharpie. You're welcome.

Third, the "grateful," in Gold Glimmer Paper. The word come from the Seasonal Frame Thinlits Dies in the Holiday Catalog (page 40). I love the script-y font and the bit of shine the word brings to the card.

Fourth, the circle of flowers from Into the Woods Designer Series Paper. I just used the 2 1/2 inch circle punch to isolate the flower set I wanted. You could also easily use circle framelits.

I hope you're making something you love this week! If you are, share it here!

New idea with Mini Treat Bag Thinlits

I love the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits. I have made *lots* of them, and I use them all the time. They cut cardstock or Designer Series Paper. Here's a new way to use the Thinlits to make something different!







Look at all the great pieces that come in this set:

Cotton Paper Flowers

I thought I had posted this project on my blog back when we made it at our August Stamp Club, but apparently not!

We used the Cotton Paper Assortment (Watermelon Wonder and Crushed Curry) to make this simple but flashy flower.

Now Stampin Up has a quick video showing another fun flower with the Cotton Paper!

Just Be Happy

Sometimes a square card is fun to design around--something different is refreshing. We can make envelopes in any size using the Envelope Punch Board, so the sky is the limit!
