winter wonderland

Good morning! Today is the last day of the Sweet ‘n Sassy sales for their 11th anniversary celebration. Be sure to check out the final special...

 

I have 2 cards to share today using the SNSS Winter Wonderland set. This set is so versatile with a ton of possibilities! I first used a snowflake patterned paper for the background, then stamped the tiny tree in the hand of the snowman.

 

Next, I used the snow globe and placed the church inside. This one has bright, fun colors. Both cards have some Stickles added to sparkle.

 

Have a great day!

Christmas in a Winter Wonderland

 Hello everyone! Are you working on your Christmas cards yet? I still have a lot of cards to go, but today I want to share one of my first Christmas cards for this year with you.

I love the snow globe from the Winter Wonderland stamp set and I really wanted to make a shaker card with it. I think it's a perfect match :). So I stamped the image and cut out the inner circle to create the shaker window. I made a little scene with the snowman, a tree and some 'snowy mountains' for the inside of the snow globe. I colored the images with Distress markers and added some color to the background with Distress Oxide inks. I added several blue sequins and some smaller silver sequins and adhered everything on blue cardstock. I added a little dashed line on the white cardstock to give it a bit more dimension and that's it for this card. 

I used the stamp set Winter Wonderland.

I hope you're inspired to make something too!

All roads lead home

All roads lead home... A perfect sentence to go with this beautiful car. Working with this stamp set made me want to decorate my home for Christmas ;) But I'll have to wait a little bit longer to do that...

I stamped the image on marker paper and colored it with my markers. I cut the image out and adhered it to a circle I die-cut from blue watercolor paper. I already stamped the sentence on the circle. I wanted to use the background paper with different cities on it. It was a great match with the sentence 'all roads lead home'. I adhered the circle with foam tape and added a couple of wooden buttons, pearl drops and sequins to finish the card.

I used the stamp set 'Winter Wonderland'.

Winter Wonderland

Hello! It's Monika here today sharing couple of cards using Winter Wonderland clear stamp set. It is such a fun set with super cute images to build different scenes...

I used the same church image for both cards, but tried to convey a different feel...

My first one is a 'contemporary' Christmas card. It doesn't look traditional, but still works for the occasion. The images (on both cards) are colored with Kuretake Gansai Tambi water colors. 

I used an alcohol ink clear window sheet for the background. I love the swirls and gold foiling that shows through the circle window. I wanted to add dimension, so I cut a circle window on the background panel to be the globe and popped up the whole panel... the base of the snow globe is also popped up. This allowed me to have 3 different dimensional levels. The greeting is heat embossed with gold embossing powder. 

My second card could be used for any occasion. I love how you could use this set all year round!

To add color to the background, I just used blue water color. Again, I wanted dimension, so I used dimensional tape to pop up the church and the small tree. The greeting came from Christmas Poinsettia clear stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by,

Monika

It's a Winter Wonderland

Today I have some fun new projects using one of the October sets. The Winter Wonderland Set is very versatile. The little images in the set are perfect to create little scenes either inside a globe or on their own...I created a card and some tags. 

My card is clean and simple. I colored up my image with Copics but then went back with a white color pencil to add some "highlights" to create a glass sphere look. I fussy cut the globe and popped it up on a piece of snowflake embossed vellum (which I mounted on blue card and a white base) I colored a piece of scrap paper with a gold Sharpie and stamped and embossed the sentiment on it so when I adhered it to my snow globe, it would look like a little plaque.

Then I created simple scenes on some wooden tags and colored them with colored pencils. The images were rustic as was the wood grain so I used some jute to create the hangers and compliment the look. These are going to be perfect for masculine packages!

I stamped up several more to put in a small bag to travel with. I thought they would be fun to color on a trip and since they are small they won't be too heavy!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you are inspired to try your stamps out on various surfaces - just have fun!

Hugs,

A Latte Plaids

Hello, sweet friends!  Cathy here sharing two cards using some of the new stamp sets from the October release.

Distress Oxide Inks were smooshed onto a mixed media panel and then stamped with one of the plaids from the new Texture Tiles 4 stamp set...after all, who does't love a warm, cozy flannel plaid?  This panel was cut apart and the parts were used to create both cards. 

One of the plaid sections was stitched to the left side of this card.  The snow globe from the Winter Wonderland stamp set was filled with some of the small images from the set to create a winter scene. A little sparkle was added to the snowy slopes and Glossy Accents applied to the windows on the church.

Although I am not a coffee drinker, the Jesus & Coffee stamp set is wonderful for creating cute cards for coffee loving friends and Bible journaling pages.

The other plaid Oxide Ink section was stitched to the center of this card.  The different mugs and cups from the Jesus & Coffee stamp set were colored with Copic Markers, cut out and popped onto the card.  The sentiment was made with words from the So Thankful and Jesus & Coffee stamp sets.  Sequins were added to finish the card.

These stamp sets from the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store were used to create the cards above:

I love all of the Texture Tile stamp sets and Texture Tiles 4 is no exception.  Great news...Texture Tiles 4 is the October Stamp of the Month and is free with your $75 order until the end of the month so be sure to head on over to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store to check out the new release.

Thanks so much for stopping by...Happy stamping until next time!

Hugs,

Cathy

A little bit of winter.....

I am loving this new set called Winter Wonderland from this month's new release.  I especially love this vintage looking truck.  I decided to make a shaker card I think for only the second time in my crafty life!  I might have put too much glitter (snow) in it but I kind of like the way it looks.  I colored my image with Copic markers and the paper is from The Paper Studios.   Make sure you check out the new release this month, it is awesome, you can get the whole thing at at a great discount when you buy the  early bird bundle,  and don't forget the stamp of the month which is free with $75 purchase and as always Korin offers free shipping with a $75 purchase.   Happy Crafting!

Merry Christmas

Hello everyone! I started preparing my Christmas cards as soon as I got this stamp set. You can never be too early ;) And making Christmas cards can take some time so now is a good time to start.

For this card I stamped the image of the snow globe on watercolor paper. I stamped the scene inside the globe and colored it with watercolors. After that I masked the bottom part of the image to create a sky with Distress inks. I cut out the globe and adhered it to the card with foamtape. I used background paper with a touch of gold and golden embellishments to get that Christmas feeling with this card.

 

I used the stamp set Winter Wonderland.

I hope you're inspired to create something today!
