Snowflakes-Favorite Things Friday

Christmas 2023, 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!

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Christmas Classics – Happy Holidays

Christmas 2023 /

Here is another holiday card using the Joy of Noel bundle and the Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper. I began with a Shaded Spruce card base and added a layer of DSP to the card front. The green holly border is also cut using a panel of Shaded Spruce cardstock. The greeting is stamped with Shaded Spruce ink on a panel of white and cropped using the coordinating die from the bundle.

Did you know that traditionally the Holly tree symbolizes peace and goodwill. Due to its resistance to lightning, it is associated with the Celtic and Norse gods of thunder, Taranis and Thor. According to ancient history it was planted near dwellings to protect people from lightning strikes. I think it is just beautiful and makes me think of Christmas! Happy Stamping!

So when they do, create, create, create!

Kindness-Favorite Things Friday

Thank You /

Don’t you just love how a single act of kindness changes everything? I think that is one of my favorite things about the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons. It calls us to be more mindful of how we treat others and to be grateful for the blessing we have instead of focusing on what we don’t have or even worse on what others have. It keeps us humble and focused on the present moment of joy and happiness, which can ultimately lead to peace, at least peace of heart.

Today my card focuses on that very kindness. I again used the watercolor background technique to create my own designer series paper if you will to cut out the Handcrafted Elements Dies. I added this sweet die to a layer of Very Vanilla cardstock. I used Highland Heather cardstock for my card base and border for the greeting. I think the Highland Heather pairs perfectly with my watercolor background die.

The greeting, from Timeless Arrangements, is stamped with Highland Heather ink and the little flower/leaf die is cut from the same watercolor background paper that I created. Of course I just had to add a few rhinestone bling but feel free to decorate as much or little as you like.

Thank you all for being such loyal followers. I hope you have fun creating many different cards this holiday season. Happy Stamping!

Thanks-Handcrafted Elements Dies

Thank You /

I am having more fun playing with our Handcrafted Element Dies. Don’t forget these beauties are on sale. Click here for our Last Chance product sale! Please note all products are while supplies last. I decided to use a Basic Black card base and added a layer of Poppy Parade. I again cut my die from the watercolor background that I created and added it to another black layer.

I used a corner rounder on my second layer of black to add a more elegant look. The thanks is stamped with Memento Black and is from Artistically Inked. I added just a bit of bling to finish off my card. I believe the rhinestones that I used are retired and that is okay because I am sure you have plenty of bling in your crafting stash. Right? Have fun creating-Happy Stamping!

A Closer Look

The ornament of this first card was cut using our Gold Foil sheets and the greeting is heat embossed with some Basic White Embossing powder. I love how it makes the greeting pop and is so festive for the season.

The first two cards were created using the snowflake sky embossing folder and the first layer. The first card was with Night of Navy and the second with Petal Pink cardstock. I love the totally different look. I like them both.

My last card was created with a Highland Heather card base. For the die cut element I first created a watercolor background and mounted it on a piece of Very Vanilla. Click here for watercolor background video. I added a bit of Highland Heather ink around the edges and stamped my image in Gorgeous Grape. Feel free to add the bling/embellishment of your choice. Happy Stamping!

Night Divine Stars – Favorite Things Friday

Christmas 2023, Favorite Things Friday /

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.

A Closer Look

Card #1 was created with Classic Christmas Stamp set and the Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper.

Card #2 was created using the Snowflake Sky embossing folder along with the Handcrafted Elements Dies. The Gold Foil cardstock really makes this ornament stand out. I heat embossed the greeting with Basis White Embossing powder.
