  • Snowflake Joy


    An A2 sized Christmas card made using one of a mini slimline set of dies. Add some lovely paper, some die cut snowflakes & Joy on a fancy oval & you have a beautiful card!

    A big congrats to Jennifer, the newest Featured Stamper (FS860)! She’s a scrapper w/ a lot of beautiful pages. After much browsing, I chose THIS page to case. I kept the Christmas theme & most of the layout, but changed it to an A2 card, used different paper & dies & simplified it to fit the space.

    For my card, I used a mini slimline die to cut the lovely holly paper and also the wine red piece. On the red, I stamped some holly berries w/ Brilliance moonlight white ink. I used this ink because it dries faster than my pigment ink & it’s also not quite as bright. I really didn’t want the berries to stand out that much. A leftover diagonal strip along w/ 2 white glitter strips were added in between the red & the holly paper. A fancy oval die was used on the sea green & I fussy cut a red layer to go behind it. The Joy was die cut out of white glitter paper as were the 3 snowflakes.

    The Joy was popped up as were the snowflakes to give them a little dimension.

    Thanks so
     much for stopping by!

  • Red Poinsettia


    For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC890), we’re visiting the Puzzle Shop & their Pinterest Board. I chose THIS puzzle for my inspiration.

    On my poinsettia card, I used a big, build a poinsettia set & stamped, colored & die cut 2 of them. One of them I cut apart, & the other full poinsettia, I used a craft knife to cut around a few petals, lift them up & insert the cut apart leaves underneath. A few were tucked under the big poinsettia. It’s attached to a white layer where I stamped the greeting, then added a green scallop edge frame on top before adding the poinsettia.

    The designer paper is a beautiful holly print in a new Rubbernecker paper pad.

    These are the Copics I used: (note: on the full set, there are holly leaves which is where I used the greens. I didn’t add them to the card so only the reds were used.)

  • Christmas Coffee


    A big congrats to Heather, the newest Featured Stamper! She has wonderful, growing gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the tall go cup of coffee & used of patterned paper, but I used different dies, stamps, paper, left off the greenery/bow at the bottom & used a leftover red triangle in the corner.


    For my card, I die cut parts of the Coffee & the Winter Cocoa & combined them for my tall cup. Stickles was added to the whipped cream on top. I had a triangular piece of crimson paper & added it to the corner of the holly paper then popped up the coffee cup on top. The lg holly was die cut out of white glitter paper & added next to the cup.
