Snowy Wishes

Here is my card based on a card that I found in the Cardmaker magazine. My card doesn't have all the frills that the magazine one does.... but it was designed using this card here:

I created the sentiment piece in my digital software... My Memories Suite and printed it out on Whisper White cardstock. Then, I designed the rest of my card the traditional way (instead of digital).

Thanks for looking!

Supplies Used:

Stamp Set - Endless Wishes

Ink - Night of Navy

Paper - Whisper White, Night of Navy

Accessories - My Memories Suite software, Navy Satin Ribbin, glue dots

Snowman Wishes

Isn't my snowman cute! I love snowmen... just not the very very cold blustery days! =)

I saw Sheila Oliver's snowman punch art on Pinterest -- and just had to make one of my own.

Here is her card:

Thanks Shelia for your inspiration.

To create my snowman, I used a circle, cut in half for his head. For his carrot nose, I used one of the Flower Fair Framelits and cut one of the petals to resemble a nose. Next, I used the Two-Step Owl Punch for his eyes.

2014 Christmas Cards

I decided to create my own Christmas Cards, and thought a 6x6 card would be a different size choice than the norm.

When I received them in the mail, they really turned out beautiful! However, when I went to place them in the envelope.... the card did not fit. Come to find out, the envelope size is a 6x6 instead of the 6.25x6.25 needed. So, I needed to trim 1/8" from each side (tedious!).

I will need to wait until Monday to call Stampin' Up! to discuss why this happened and to hopefully resolve the issue in the future. ****Update*** I did call Stampin' Up! on Monday and they would have mailed out to me the correct size envelopes for my cards.  But, since I had already trimmed my cards to fit the envelopes, they will make sure that this does not happen to future orders.

Supplies Used:
Background paper - Very Vanilla
Punches - Square (filled w/Textured Cardstock - Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake)
Embellishments - Basic Rhinestones
Stamp Brush Set - Endless Wishes (snowflake and words - Pool Party, Crumb Cake); Love Story (chevron - Pool Party and Crumb Cake)
Font - Broach(Very Vanilla)

I saw a similar card using leaf framelits, so I thought I'd try it with my Festive Flurry Framelits.  I love how easy this card was to put together.

Good Wishes

I saw this card (on the right) on Splitcoaststampers (from poster - LateBlossom - Susan Raihala), and thought I'd try to recreate a card with the stamps that I had (my card is on the left).  Thanks Susan for your inspiration!

Wishing Endlessly

I impressed myself by only using one stamp set when creating this card, as I tend to use more than one.

I was inspired by my own card -- 'Love Unconditionally', where I used hearts and words.  I wanted to see if I could create a card for Christmas just using the stamps that I had in the set 'Endless Wishes'.  The set has so many Christmas words or phrases..... it was great to utilize them on my card.

Hope you like the results too!
