Favorite Things Friday

In many cultures snowflakes symbolize uniqueness. Sound perfectly logical since each snowflake is different. Snowflakes are actually made of ice crystals. Ice crystals are simply water droplets that freeze on contact with dust particles in the atmosphere. These ice crystals develop into intricate, beautiful shapes and we call them snowflakes. Did you know that the shapes depend on how cold the sub-freezing air is and how much humidity or moisture is present in the air where they form.

Well, today’s holiday card features the Snowflake Sky embossing folder (#162026 $11). I absolutely love the look of the snowflakes and just for fun I embossed on a panel of designer series paper instead of cardstock. I think it gives it a much softer look.

My card base is Cherry Cobbler and my greeting from Night Divine is stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink. I did fussy cut the greeting, but other than that, this was a super simple card. I hope you will create some beautiful holiday cards with this unique embossing folder. Happy Stamping!

The days are definitely getting shorter and one of the most wonderful things about a clear cold winter’s night is the beauty of all the stars. The O Holy Night Designer Series Paper pack pairs perfectly with the Night Divine stamp set to create a starry night card just in time for the holidays!

I began with a Basic White card base and let the designer series paper do all the work. I added a layer of the starry paper to the card front and stamped the greeting from Night Divine with Night of Navy ink on a 2-1/4 x 2-1/4 piece of Basic White cardstock. I added the greeting to a 2-3/8 x 2-3/8 panel of Night of Navy CS and attached it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

It’s Black Friday! I have to say with all the online sales Black Friday is not what it used to be, but if stamps on sale is what you are looking for then you are in luck. The “Last Chance” sale for retiring products is going on now through January 3rd. Of course product availability is while supplies last. All the cards I am sharing with you today were created with A Walk in the Forest designer series paper pack which is one of those retiring projects.

I began my first card with a Balmy Blue cards base and added some of the designer series paper. One of the brown bears is cropped with the coordinating punch and the other is fussy cut with our Paper Snips. The greeting is stamped with Pretty Peacock ink and cropped with the Deckled Circles dies.

My second card is created using a Garden Green card base. I added a layer of Pretty Peacock and cropped the designer series paper with the Deckled Circle Dies. The greeting is from Throughout the Year and cropped with the Nestled Dies.

For my third card is created using the double oval punch and Pretty Peacock cardstock. I fussy cut the Mama and baby bear with my Paper Snips. The greeting is again from Throughout the Year stamp set.

My last card is created again using a Garden Green card base, a layer of Pretty Peacock and then a layer of designer series paper. The greeting is from the Beary Cute Bundle and stamped with Pretty Peacock ink and cropped with the square die from the Autumn Leaves Bundle.
