Snowflake Christmas, FMS310


Playing along with Freshly Made Sketches again this week.  I just have to say, I had a great day stamping today. I haven't sat and made that many cards in a very long time.

We have such gorgeous DSP this year, and so much metallic DSP, I love metallic!  This gold and white check is gorgeous, isn't it?
So, before I go any further, here is the challenge for this week. Click HERE to check out the challenge.


I choose an older stamp set, it's in the Annual catalog having been held over for a couple years. I embossed in white and added rhinestones for some bling.  I used Bermuda Bay and Fresh Fig along with the Year of Cheer DSP with it's beautiful gold plaid.  And the new Fresh Fig ribbon, I've been dying to use that ribbon.

I hope you enjoy!

Stampin Up, Global Design Project #012


This week we are to CASE a card done by Brian King.  Actually they just want you to take away some inspiration from Brian's card and create one of your own from something on his card.

So, here is mine. I loved the snow scene, especially the snowflake background, faintly showing.
I added my snow piles, I cheated, I used the Sleigh Ride thinlit set to create the shape, and just trimmed off the part of the design sticking up.

I think it's a very peaceful scene, something I seem to be aiming for a lot this year. I think we can all use some peaceful times with everything going on in our world and especially our country.

The silver tree is silver embossed with a silver foil star and the snow flakes are made using a versamark pad.    If you haven't tried it, you get a very tone on tone look, no matter what color your cardstock is.

Thanks for checking in. I hope both Brian and my cards are giving you some inspiration of your own.

Stampin Up, Pals Paper Arts Challenge #273


SURPRISE! A Christmas card! LOL. Ok, I know I do a lot of them, but hey how else can I play with all the absolutely wonderful SU Holiday goodies?

This DSP is fabulous!  All shiny, gold and black, and so much fun to use. If you don't get any other DSP, do get this one.  I used gold foil peeking out from under the black snowflake  design from Winter Wonderland DSP. I could easily have used black for the sentiment here and it would have looked stunning, but I love my colors, so I added in a touch of Cherry Cobbler.

I hope you enjoy, come play with us at the PPA!

Stampin Up, Pals Paper Arts challenge #272


I have been very remiss lately.  Normally, especially at Christmas, I use Crumb Cake CS, but I haven't used it in quite a while, so I decided that this would be the time. I love white on Crumb cake. You can use the SU white pad, but it is a pad meant for embossing, so it doesn't dry very quickly, and it sinks into the paper and gets lighter in color.   So, not wanting to emboss this time, I used the Staz-On white.  Warning: if you use this pad, be very sure NOT to allow water on it before starting to use the Staz-On stamp cleaner!  Otherwise, you will never get all the white off your stamps.  The Staz-on Black comes off very nicely with the cleaner, but even with that the white doesn't like to come off very well. I took to using an old toothbrush after applying the cleaner and scrub good before washing it all offf.

I am really loving the Thinlit words that are out now. They made such a difference and allow for more creativity.

I hope you enjoy and thanks for stopping by.
