Frozen

Welcome to day 3 of my 25 days of Christmas Inspiration. I had a routine procedure done yesterday and had complications so I have been in the hospital for a few days and didn't get to post, so there will be multiple post so I can get caught back up. 

My card today is also for the CAS challenge of Frozen at Happy Little Stampers. 

To create my card I started with a white top folding card base and a white panel. I stamped this super cute snowman from the Cheerful Snowmen set by Sweet 'n Sassy stamps and colored him using Copic markers. 

It's hard to see in the photo but I used some of the Snow Paste by Brutus Monroe underneath him, it's so sparkly.

Day 21 with Freshly Made Sketches

Hello and welcome to day 21 of my series 25 days of Christmas Inspiration. We are getting near the end and we are now in single digits until Christmas day! I don't know about you but I haven't even mailed out my cards yet :0

 

Today's card uses a super cute stamp set by Picket Fence Studios and this weeks sketch at Freshly Made sketches.

To create this card I started with a white top folding card base and a white panel cut down a half of an inch smaller. I used purple tape by Thermoweb to mask off a rectangular area and then blended Peacock Feathers distress ink using LifeChanging Blender Brushes. After I finished blending the ink, I used a snowflake stencil by Echo Park and some Nuvo glitter paste to create the snowy background. I stamped the cute little snowman from the Have a Wonderful Wintery Day by Picket Fence Studios in the corner with Gina K Amalgam ink (I used a mask on him while I created the background) and colored him using Copic markers. Using the Mini MISTI, I added a greeting form the A Bear Kind of Winter set also by Picket Fence Studios underneath to finish the card.

Crazy About Snowmen

I am up on the Sweet 'n Sassy blog with this card using one of my all time favorite snowmen. We released two throwback sets this month for our birthday and this image comes from the set Crazy About Snowmen. 

We are 11 years old and we are having a special sale each week of November. Today starts a new special 

Picket Fence Studios October Release

It's release day at Picket Fence Studios and once again they did not disappoint, the October release has more adorable stamps. The one I used on my card is Have a Wonderful Wintry Day and it is Adorbs! 

I love the snowman and the one in this set along with the others are so cute! 

To make my card I started with a top folding white card base and a panel cut down a quarter of an inch smaller. First I stamped the snowman and then masked him off while I created the background and stamped the snow.  I stamped the snow using Versamark ink and embossed it with White embossing powder and then to create the background I used the medium 3.5 inch blending stencil and a medium Life Changing Blender Brush along with Gina K ink. I wanted to give the appearance of a snow globe so I added lots of snow using a white Gelly Roll pen.

To finish the card I added the greeting below the snow and adhered the panek to the card base.

Guest Designing on Day 19

Hello and welcome to Day 19 of my 25 days of Christmas Inspiration series.  I am just a tad bit late posting today as I am trying to get my Christmas card made and mailed, procraftinators unite right? 

Todays card also come with a guest designing gig for A.muse Studio. I am guest designing for them again the month of December, I love their products! 

To make my card I started with a teal top folding card base made from their card stock and a white panel. I stamped the penguin image with the sweater from the set You're the Coolest on a scrap piece of cs and then colored him with Copic markers and cut him out using the coordinating die cut. I created the background by just spooning on a little ink and the stamping some snowflakes from the set, Flaky Friends which just happens to currently be on sale for only $5.00. 

Warmer with You

Late night card share for the sims Says challenges and the 30 day coloring challenge at The Daily Marker. When I seen this stamp Warmer with You by GinaK for Stamptember at Simon says Stamp I just had to have it, if you know me at all, you know I love all things snowmen. Just look how cute they are!  To make this card I started with a side folding white not card, a black panel and a white panel. I used distress oxide ink to make the background on the white panel. I started with Abandoned coral and then blended Wilted Violet and Broken China, After I finished the background I stamped the trees with Versamark ink and embossed them in white and then spritzed with water.  I stamped the snowmen n a scrap piece of paper cut them out with the coordinating dies and colored them with Chameleon pens and added some glitter to their caps for shimmer. I attached my scenic panel on top of the black panel and popped it up with foam tape. The snow is made using a stitched border die from MFT.

It's Release Day at Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps

Hello Sweet 'n Sassy friends! We are so excited to share the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps October Release and Blog Hop with you today! We have added four brand new stamp sets to our line plus four new products from the October Sweet Perks Club to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store! Make sure to stop over and check it! 
I am in love with the new background stamp that I used on my sample above, Winter Blessings. There is so much you can do with it, I stamped it with versa mark ink, embossed it with clear embossing powder and sponged some of the new Distress ink colors, Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Cracked Pistachio. To add some texture I sprayed it with  gold irREISTible  texture spray.

My second card uses a Bible journaling set, Name Above All Names, but since I do not have a journaling bible yet, I used it to make a Christmas card. I embossed the image and Immanuel in Gold to make it more elegant and match the paper.
Be sure to click the links below to see what the rest of the Design team did and I'll be back here and on the Sweet 'n Sassy blog with another sample using our new release, so be sure to stop back by.

A Snowman For Caleb

My card today was made for a little boy named Caleb who is battling cancer and has a grandmother who makes cards, so he loves receiving them and wants to receive a card from someone in every state. I thought a snowman on my card would be approbate since it's coming from Colorado, where we have lots of snow. I used a Stampendous stamp I bought before Christmas and hadn't got a chance to ink it up yet and this was the perfect opportunity! 

If you would like to send Caleb a card contact me and I will give you the address. 

Believe

Quick card share for the Hope You Can Cling To challenges at Splitcoast Stampers. The challenge is to use a resist technique on your card, I used Versamark resist or Ghosting. To make my card I started with a white A2 base and a piece of glossy card stock cut down to 4 x 51/4. I  randomly stamped my snowflakes in versa mark ink and then heat set it. Next I sponged Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry inks all over the front. I added my snowman and greeting to finish it off.
