Frosty Winter Themed Card

Hey there!Today I'm sharing my latest project for CutCardStock. This is a winter theme card using card stock, stamps and dies that lend to a “frosty” feel.

Focal

I start my project by stamping an Angiegirl image I have in my stash onto a piece of Cougar White Smooth Card Stock. This will be the focal for the card.

Cut two pieces of card stock to cover the card base. A piece of Bright Foil Silver Card Stock measures 5 x 6 1/2 inches. Lessebo Colors Premium MISTY BLUE 83lb Cardstock is cut to 4 3/4 x 6 1/4 inches.

Color the image using Prismacolor Pencils and die cut with an oval die. Die cutting a piece of the Bright Foil Silver Card Stock with an oval die will create a frame for the image.

Snowflakes

A frosty winter theme card needs snowflakes. 

Die cutting 2 snowflake corners, 2 snowflakes and a snowflake border will give that feel. Cut these with Stardream Metallic CRYSTAL (white) 105 lb Card Stock.

I am adding glitter to the snowflake corners and border.

Adhere the corners and the border to the Lessebo Misty Blue Card Stock piece. Cutting the border in half will expand it to fit across the width of the card.

Card Base

Layer the Lessebo Misty Blue piece onto the Bright Foil Silver piece from above. Add this onto the 5 x 6 1/2 inch card base which is out of Cougar White Smooth Card Stock.

Completing

The oval piece goes on.

Add the 2 individual snowflakes to the snowflake corners with foam squares.

We will add a sentiment to complete the card. Stamp the sentiment with VersaMark ink and heat emboss.

Fussy cut he sentiment and adhere to the card.

I add some gems to the corner die cuts.

Stamp and heat emboss a snowflake on the lower left corner of the envelope just to add little bit more!

Thanks for taking a look at my winter theme card.

Sliding By to Say Hi

Hello there!

Sharing a little inspiration today for

Pajama Crafter Stamps!

Those of us on the design team are using sketches this month and sharing them as well.

If you don't use sketches give them a try.

I find if I am"stumped" when creating that sketches help.

And you don't have to use them exactly as they are.

Put your own spin on them!

My card was created with 

Sliding By Stamp & Die Bundle.

This is the sketch my card design is based on.

As you can see, I varied it slightly and that's okay!

I stamped and colored the penguin and tree images with pencils before die cutting.

A pattern paper is used on the top portion of the card.

I created snow banks with white card stock which was hand cut and inked.

The sentiment from the bundle was stamped and 3 pearls added.

Give sketches a try!

You'll like them!

Coolest People Christmas

Christmas is just a week away!

Are we all ready?

I still have gift wrapping and baking to do!

But, before I get on to those tasks, 

I thought I would share one of the cards I made for

Polkadoodles.

I've used one of the new digis from the 

Theo Penguin Winter Snowy Days Collection.

Hello Theo Penguin

 This is such a cutie and he can be used for any occasion!

I colored with pencils and fussy cut.

The background includes papers from

10 Classic Winter Papers Set 1 Theo Penguin.

My card base was die cut.

The sentiment is from

109 Winter/Christmas/Birthday Greetings Sentiments.

It  was printed and die cut.

I added some snowflake gems.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great Holiday Season!

Molly's Joy

Hi there!

I started coloring up this little cutie a few days ago and

didn't get around to finishing her until last night. 

This morning I got to thinking and remembered I had a snow globe die.

I thought she would look super cute on a snow globe shaped card.

I stamped some trees on the background, 

did a little inking, added some snow banks and

splattered a little white paint for a snow effect.

I love the way this little card came out.

This is Molly's Joy from

Conie Fong Art & Design.

The digi was colored with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut.

Glitter glue was added to the "JOY" banner Molly is holding.

I die cut the "Merry Christmas" sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!

I so appreciate you all!

Winter/Holiday Memory Dex Cards

Hello there! I'm here today with my latest project created for Clear Scraps!

This time around I decided to play with the Vintage Acrylic Memory-Dex Dividers and I’ve also used some Chipboard Punchout Embellishments.

I decided I wanted to add a little something more to the background of the clear dividers, so I pulled out the 6 inch Swirl Stencil and some white metallic texture paste.

A pallet knife was used to spread to texture paste over the stencil onto the dividers. Be sure snd remove the protective film.

This is what I ended up with.

While waiting for the texture paste to dry, I chose some patterned papers to use with a die and which chipboard embellishments I wanted to work with.

I die cut 1 piece of patterned paper for each divider. Also die cut a piece for each out of a white snowflake paper for the backside. This is done to cover up the adhesive used on the front.

Adhere the patterned papers to the fronts.

The white paper is added to the back.

The chipboard pieces were painted with white acrylic paint as a base coat.

I added clear glitter glue to the skate chipboard piece and colored the skate blades with a silver metallic marker. Some twine was added as laces. A dimensional snowflake sticker was added with a greeting/sentiment from some HunkyDory die cuts from my stash.

The mitten chipboard was colored with markers and little glitter glue added for my 2nd divider.

I added more HunkyDory pieces and some twine.

My third divider was decorated with a sweater chipboard piece colored with markers with a tree sticker added. More HunkeyDory pieces were added.

This really was a fun project for me! I hope you like it!
