So now that the weather is turning colder I have an excuse to create another snowman card, as if I needed one! LOL Today’s card is again featuring the Snow Wonder Bundle, and yes my favorite trees. I also added the Joy using the Joy Dies from the Peace and Joy Bundle.

I began with a Merry Merlot card base, though I was not sipping on Merlot at the time! Ha! I added a layer of Crumb Cake cut from the Stitched Rectangles. I do love the fun color names the creative team at Stampin’ UP! always comes up with and look forward to new colors every year!

What a great company, fun names and colors that coordinate with everything! What else could a crafter ask for? Right?

I stamped the trees in Shaded Spruce and the Snowman in Memento Black on some Crumb Cake cardstock. The trees and snowman are cut using the dies in the Snow Wonder Bundle. I colored my snowman with the watercolor pencils and added it to a Crumb Cake Stitched Oval and added that to a Merry Merlot scalloped oval from the Layering Oval dies.

I used some Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop up the trees and the Snowman oval. I again used the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine to cut out the Joy in Merry Merlot. I love these colors together because I think it looks like an Old Fashion Christmas card!

For the inside, I added a 4 x 5 1/4″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and stamped the greeting from Peaceful Boughs in Merry Merlot. The snowflakes from the Snow Wonder Bundle are also stamped in Merry Merlot, but to get the lighter color, I stamped them off on a piece of scrap paper first.

I hope you are having a great holiday season so far and this card inspires you to create something beautiful! Until next time, be Blessed!

I hope you all had a blessed Thanksgiving. Here is St. Louis we are getting a few snow flurries, so of’ course I could not resist featuring the Snow Wonder Bundle.

I started with a card base of Shaded Spruce and added a 4 x 5 1/4″ layer of Whisper White. The trees are stamped in Shaded Spruce. I love how the stamp creates a natural snowy effect. This may be my favorite tree stamp in the mini catalog!

To create the layered snow I tore 2 pieces of Whisper White cardstock slightly longer than 4 ” and glued it to the bottom of the card, cutting off the excess on both sides.

The snowman is stamped on Whisper White in Memento Black and cut out with the snowman die from the bundle. I used the Stampin’ Blends to add the Shaded Spruce to his scarf and leaves and Real Red for the holly berries. The Merry Christmas is from the Tag Buffet and is stamped in Shaded Spruce.

For the inside, I put a 4 x 5 14″ piece of Whisper White and stamped a set of the trees in Shaded Spruce. The getting is from the bundle and also stamped in Shaded Spruce. There is still time to add this glorious set to your Christmas collection, though it will be gone soon. Our host code, if your order is less that $150 is 9EDAFR74!

I hope this card brings a bit of Joy to your day. Thanks for stopping by. Until next time, be Blessed!

Today’s card features the Snow Wonder Bundle and the Peace and Joy Die set. I love the old fashion look of this snowman and for those of you who know me and have seen my house at Christmas, then you know I cannot resist any snowman stamp, or Christmas decoration! LOL

I stared with a Whisper White card base and added a 2 3/4 x 5 1/4 in piece of Whisper White embossed with the Winter Snow embossing folder. The lower part of the card is a piece of Snowflake Splendor Designer Series paper that measures 2 3/4 x 5 1/4. I added a strip of Night of Navy to hide the seams and cut the Joy from the Peace and Joy die set in Night of Navy.

To create the oval, I cut the scalloped edge from the Layering Ovals and put an oval of Whisper White in the center. The snowman from the Snow Wonder Bundle is stamped in Memento Black and colored with our Stampin’ Blends. The inside of the card is stamped with some of the snowflakes in Smoky Slate and the greeting is stamped in Night of Navy.

If you are like me and love not only snowmen, but snowflakes you will want to add this Christmas stamp set to your collection today.

Thanks for stamping by, I hope you come back tomorrow for some more crafting fun. As always, feel free to leave me a comment or send me a photo of your card. I would be happy to share your creativity with our followers.

Until next time, be Blessed!

Well, it is officially Black Friday, not that there will be many opportunities for in person shopping today. Here is St. Louis, the stores are open, but operating a minimum capacity so I guess I will be doing most of my shopping online.  Although yesterday was Thanksgiving, I could not resist the Snowflake Wishes, Thanks Snow Much stamp. After all if we have been good little boys and girls then we might need some Christmas Thank you cards, Right?

I started with a Whisper White card base embossed with the Winter Snow embossing folder on top and to the bottom added a layer of designer series paper from my pack, Feels Like Frost. I added a strip of Smoky Slate cardstock and added a few basic pearls. The sentiment is stamped in Smoky Slate on a Whisper White square layered on a Smoky Slate square and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Again, I added a few pearls to the sentiment.

I stamped the inside greeting and bundle of snowflakes in Smoky Slate ink. I really do love how the Smoky Slate gives a silver appearance. I hope you have fun shopping. If you need more crafting supplies, I would be happy to serve as your Stampin’ UP! demonstrator. As always, until next time, be Blessed!

Here is a fun Joy card to spruce up your holiday season. I have seen several versions of this on the internet and have no idea who to credit, sorry about that, but whomever it is, I am sure he/she would be proud to have you CASE this card. By the way if you are not familiar with the term CASE, it is what we crafters lovingly refer to as Copy And Share Everything. After all it really is about making new friends, in person and virtual, and of course having a good time crafting!

This card features the Tag Buffet stamp set and the card base is in Misty Moonlight. highlighted it with a touch of Rich Razzelberry, (4 x 5 1/4), followed by another layer of Misty Moonlight (3 3/4 x 5). The Whisper White is cut from the Stitches So Sweetly Die set. I used the stocking stamp for the J, the ornament stamp for the O, and the leaf branch stamp to create the Y. All the coloring is done with the Stampin’ Blends.

The inside is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink on Whisper White (4 x 5 1/4) using the sentiment from Peaceful Boughs. I also added a leaf branch and colored it with the Old Olive blends. I know I have mentioned once or twice (LOL) how much I love this sentiment from Peaceful Boughs and I am praying that the spirit of peace really does fill your home this holiday season.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed today’s card. Please feel free to leave a comment, I love the feedback. Hope you will join me again tomorrow, until then, be Blessed!

Today’s card is all about the joy of snowflakes. I started with a Balmy Blue card base and added a diagonal of Whisper White embossed with the Winter Snow embossing folder. Using the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine, I cut snowflakes from the Snow Wishes Bundle in Balmy Blue Glitter paper and some Whisper White cardstock. I layered the snowflakes along the diagonal and added a few random dots cuts from the Balmy Blue Glitter paper.

The Joy is also cut from the Balmy Blue Glitter paper using the Joy Die set. The inside of my card is a layer of Whisper White (4 x 5 1/4) stamped with Balmy Blue ink using the sentiment from the Snow Wishes Bundle. I wanted to carry through my snowflake theme to the inside so I added a large snowflake from the Joy Die set.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed today’s creation and will stop back tomorrow for some more crafting fun. If you would like to order any supplies, just click on the add cart button below. If your order is less than $150, don’t forget to use the host code:  9EDAFR74
