Wintry Words

 

In this card, I tried my hand at using the other 3D Embossing Folder that came in the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder set. I was going for simple yet striking... not sure if I accomplished that.

I love the added touch of the rhinestones within each snowflake on the background piece.

Cheerful Words

 

Using the 'Words of Cheer' stamp set for the first time. So many possibilities, not enough time to create them all! This is a keeper for sure.

I used Stampin' Blends to color the image in. Colors used are Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow, Real Red, and Old Olive. I added a 'Wink of Stella' to all the poinsettias to make them shine.

Thanks for taking a look!

Unto Peace

 

I'm loving the plaid paper for Christmas from the 'Peaceful Prints' DSP. I paired it with the sentiment from 'For Unto Us'. The sentiment die-cut is from the 'Tasteful Labels' dies and the Pinecone and tree parts are from the 'Pretty Pines' dies.  I added a 'Wink of Stella' to the pinecones to make them shine.

Evergreen

I received so many compliments and others have CASEd my 'Lovely As A Tree' cards... that I thought to do something similar with the 'Evergreen Elegance' stamp set and the 'Evergreen Forest' embossing folder. 

Check out the cards I made with the 'Lovely As A Tree' stamp set to get a feel for what inspired me to create these:

Elegant Snowfall

 

I wanted to create a night snowfall with the Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the Silver Glimmer Paper. I used the sentiment from 'Evergreen Elegance' on the 'Tasteful Labels' die.

Christmas Cheer

 

The 'Christmas Season' stamp set with it's coordinating 'Seasonal Labels' dies really allow freedom to create your own cards with numerous possibilities. Now the stamp set does not have any sentiment stamps, so I added a sentiment from the 'Words of Cheer' stamp set. The Wintry 3D embossing folder works perfectly with the 'Christmas Season' set.

I added 'Wink of Stella' to the pinecones and berries to give it some shimmer.

Snowbody Party

 

I love snowmen... or snowwomen... or snowpeople! I just couldn't NOT get this stamp set from Stampin' Up! It has such cute snow phrases too!

I colored the image with Stampin' Blends... and for the snowpeople, I used Wink of Stella to make the snow shine! Cool!

Wintry Evergreen

Lori Pinto's card is so simple, yet beautiful.... I just had to try to create one of my own. I changed a few things to make the card my own, but wanted to give credit to Lori who inspired me.

My background includes the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder, which I felt worked nicely with the 'Evergreen Elegance' stamp set. The colors here are Bumblebee and Evening Evergreen.

For the 'Rectangle Stitched' dies, I used a stylus after die-cutting to make the piece 'pop'.

Elegant Foliage

 

I was inspired by Kristin Grote Hayes' card on Pinterest, so I created one for myself. Now, I did change the coloring and the sentiment piece to make the card my own, but wanted to give credit to Kristin. Thanks!

I used my Stampin' Blends to color in the image. The colors used here are Cherry Cobbler/ Mossy Meadow/ Soft Suede/ Old Olive.

I used White Embossing Powder for the sentiment piece.

Evergreen Season

 

When I saw Lola Rist's card on Pinterest, I just knew I needed to create a similar card. Just beautiful! Thanks Lola for your inspiration!

I used the paper from 'Peaceful Prints' DSP.

The leaves are stamped using the Soft Succulent Stampin' Ink Pad. I used full strength ink for the darker portion, and for the lighter leaf part, I stamped off on a scrap piece of paper before stamping onto the image.

I used 'Wink of Stella' to make the pinecones shine.

I used a stylus to rub around the edges of the label to make it pop.

Elegant Pines

 

I liked Sheri Gilson's card on Pinterest (whose own card was inspired by CraftyPapertyInk), so with the stamps I had I created a similar card from her inspiration.

I used the 'Christmas Pines' stamp set and heat embossed White Embossing powder onto Basic Gray cardstock. I matted each onto Basic White cardstock and added the ribbon (from a craft store).

Ever Unto Us

 

Such a great card by Anne from 'Cards and Crafts by Anne'... which I found on Pinterest. With her inspiration, I made my own. I used Brushed Silver cardstock instead of Silver Foil... and used Gold Foil instead of Basic Black for my card. Such a slight difference, but makes a pretty card. I was going with the Silver/Gold theme.

Evergreen Home

I wanted to try the layout that The Paper Pixie did with her Blackberry Bliss card. Using the stamps that I had, I made a similar card. Thanks for the inspiration!

I heat embossed Gold onto Mossy Meadow cardstock. Then I die-cut a piece of Basic White with the 'Home Together' dies.

Woodland Christmas

 

Here's another creative card using the 'Christmas Season' stamp set and it's coordinating 'Seasonal Labels' dies. When I saw Amy O'Neill's card on pinterest... I knew I had to create one of my own. The sentiment I used was from the 'Words of Cheer' stamp set. I added 'Wink of Stella' to the berries to make them shine. My background piece is embossed with the Woodland Texture Embossing Folder.

Shaded Chums

 

Such a cute card from 'Stampin'Gala which I found on Pinterest!  I wanted to create a card that was similar, but added my own twist to the layout. Thanks Stampin' Gala for your inspiration!

I used the DSP from the 'Plaid Tidings' DSP. The scallop edge is from the 'Seasonal Layers' dies, and the background piece is the 'Evergreen Forest' Embossing Folder.

Wintry Sentiments

 

Creating more Christmas cards for all my nieces and nephews.... I have 18 and one great niece! It is great trying to create 19 different Christmas cards... a little daunting too. BUT.... as I have collected many Christmas stamp sets throughout my time as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator... it was a breeze! Well, not a breeze, but I had plenty of inspiration with each stamp set.
