Frosty is back!

It is snowing here so I decided it was the perfect time to bring Frosty back. This was one of the Christmas cards I made this year. This card was cased from Sparklegirl on SCS. This stamp set has to be one of my favorites. There is just something about snowmen that I love, not sure why because I am not a fan of snow at all. Sometimes things are just funny like that.

Supplies Used:
(All Stampin' Up!)
Stamp Sets: Frosty, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Black StazOn, Real Red Marker, Night of Navy Marker, Only Orange Marker, Old Olive Marker
Cardstock: Whisper White, Real Red, Night of Navy
Accessories: Shimmer Paint, Stampin' Dimensionals, Silver Brads, Mistletoe Ribbon

Fish Note

One of the favourite techniques is to create a masked off area for an image. I don't know if there is a actual name for this technique. I absolutely love this look but don't use it enough. The hardest part of this card was the create the mask for the stamped area, but once that was done I can keep it with the stamp set and have it readily available next time I want to use it.

Supplies Used:
(All Stampin' Up!)
Stamp Sets: Ocean Commotion
Ink: Pacific Point, Bashful Blue
Cardstock: Whisper White
Accessories: Bashful Blue Double Stitched Ribbon

Going Back to Christmas

Not a flower card today! Are you surprised? Today I am going to share with you a Christmas card that I made with one of my favourite snowman stamps. This snowman comes from the stamp set Merry & Bright. I was so sad when Stampin' Up! retired this stamp set. I will be keeping this set for a very long time. This card was cased from Kristina Werner.

Supplies Used:
(All Stampin' Up!)
Stamp Sets: Merry & Bright
Ink: Black StazOn, Real Red, Old Olive
Cardstock: Real Red, Bashful Blue, Old Olive Prints DSP
Accessories: Blender Pen, Certainly Celery Wide Grosgrain Ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals, 1 1/4" Square Punch

Saffron Flower

Can you tell I am in a flower mood recently? It might be hard to believe but when I first started cardmaking, flower images were the last thing I would go for. I was not a fan of anything flowery. I still have my limits but I do like simple flower images. These fresh note cards make it so easy to complete a card. All I did was stamp cut out a small Mellow Moss flower, attach it to the card with a So Saffron Brad, then attached a piece of So Saffron cardstock behind the cut out image. Stamped a sentiment on the front of the card. I paper pierced the edges and then attached the Mellow Moss taffeta ribbon. Simple, but a stunning look.

Supplies Used:
(All Stampin' Up!)
Stamp Sets: Fresh Cuts
Ink: So Saffron, Mellow Moss
Cardstock: So Saffron, Whisper White
Accessories: Fresh Cut Notes, So Saffron Brad, Mellow Moss Taffeta Ribbon

Simple Greenhouse Garden

Let me start off by saying how much I love this card. It was so simple to make and didn't require any additional layers. Two step-stamping really adds to the look of an image. I cased this card from Dawn Griffith.

Supplies Used:
(All Stampin' Up!)
Stamp Sets: Greenhouse Garden, Kind & Caring Thoughts
Ink: Pale Plum, Perfect Plum, Cameo Coral, Really Rust, Regal Rose, Rose Red
Cardstock: Whisper White

Think Spring

Every time I look at this card I think of spring. Now if only spring would actually come. Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a fan of winter at all. This card is a Z fold card. This is the first card of this kind I have done, but I really like how it turned out so I just might have to do more of this style.

Supplies Used:
(All Stampin' Up!)
Stamp Sets: Cheep Talk
Ink: Chocolate Chip, So Saffron, Old Olive, Ballet Blue
Cardstock: Old Olive Patterns, So Saffron, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White
Accessories: Chocolate Chip 5/16" Brad, Eyelet Border Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals
