Snowflake Card

Hello!  I hope you're not tired of Christmas cards!  I have one more to show you today.  This card was designed by my friend Carrie for our demonstrator meeting last month, but when I made my card, I changed it up slightly.  I love this card and the color scheme.  It's not one I would have ever thought of, but I like it!  The card was easy to make too!  I just put two strips of paper on the top and bottom part of the card, using none other than my favorite paper, Season of Style Designer Series Paper by Stampin' Up, wrapped some costal cabana ribbon around the top part of the card, and stamped a snowflake with the Festive Flurry Stamp set, cut it out with the matching framelits, added a rhinestone jewel to the center, popped it on my card with some Stampin' Dimensionals, and then added my greeting, and I was done!  This would be a great card to make if you're still rushing to get those last few cards on your list made like me!  It was quick and easy, and it doesn't take a lot of supplies!

By the way, the snowflake is stamped in Costal Cabana, but the greeting is stamped in Island Indigo.  I thought it would stand out a little more if the greeting was darker than the snowflake and ribbon.  :)  Hope you enjoyed today's card.  Thanks for stopping by, and I'll see you tomorrow!

Winter Frost Snowflake Card

Hello!  I'm not feeling very well today, so when I say this post will be short, I really mean it!

This card was designed by my friend Carrie Nelson for us at our demonstrator meeting last month.  The card uses the Winter Frost Designer Series Paper, the 1/8'' silver ribbon and the Festive Flurry Stamp set and matching framelits from Stampin' Up!'s holiday catalog.  That's about it for the card.

This second card was made by my friend Jamie Garrett.  She also used the Winter Frost DSP, the Festive Flurry Stamp set and framelits, stretchy ribbon in Costal Cabana, and the Frosted Finishes Embellishments from the holiday catalog.

Thanks for stopping by today, and I'll be back tomorrow!  I still have quite a few things to share before Christmas!

Merry And Bright Christmas Card

Hello!  I am excited to share today's card with you!  I think this will be my Christmas card for this year. I thought this card up one night while putting my son to sleep and I just LOVE it! I don't know about you, but it just reminds me of Christmas!  I love the traditional red and green colors for Christmas.  I can't do pink and blue for christmas.  It's just not me.  I'm a red and green (or white and blue for snowflakes) kinda girl.  This card was made with the Festive Flurry stamp set and coordinating framelits dies, and the endless wishes photopolymer stamp set.  The colors I used are real red and gum ball green.  I added two rhinestone jewels for some extra embellishment, and I cut the slits in the greeting for the ribbon with my paper trimmer, but you could use an exacto knife or hobby blade.  Either way you do it, this card was pretty easy!

Thanks for stopping by today.   I'll see you tomorrow!

Winter Frost File Folder Card

Hello!  The other day I showed a file folder card designed by my friend Jamie Garrett, and today I want to show the other card she designed.  We made these cards at a meeting for demonstrators a few weekends ago.  I was so happy to walk away with some fun new cards and projects I had made.  Thank you to Mayra, Carrie and Jamie for all the new samples and projects!

The designer series paper used on this card is Winter Frost, and we stamped and die cut a snow flake from the Festive Flurry set from Stampin' Up!'s holiday catalog.  The file folder card is easily made with the new Envelope Punch Board from Stampin' Up!  You should check it out.  It's quite the craze these days because it's so versatile.  You can make 62 different sized envelopes out of almost any kind of paper, and you can also make cards and other things!  Definitely worth the $19.95!

Thanks for stopping by today, and I'll see you tomorrow!

And here's the card I wanted to share for today.  It's another version of the hot cocoa card.  I love to make this card every year, because when it's Christmas and it's cold, I usually think hot chocolate and wanting to get warm.  What better way to spread some holiday cheer than to give some hot cocoa?  It's a very easy card to make, as long as you have brown paper bags at home.  

I tied the whole thing off with ribbon to keep the cocoa packet inside, and it just makes the card even more fun!  Hope this gives you some ideas for your Christmas cards and goodies this year!  See you tomorrow!

Season's Greetings Snowflake Card

Hello!  Today's card is one of the last few Christmas cards I'll be showing for a little while.  I wanted to share some ideas with you for your own Christmas cards, and then I'll take a break and get back to fall stamping ideas and other cards like birthdays and thank you's.  But the Christmas will be back soon, don't worry.  I just don't want to make some people sick of Christmas.  (I could never get sick of Christmas, but I understand some people can.)  This card is a creation all of my own.  It started out as an idea for something completely different, and just kind of took off running and finished with this.  I might try again for the original idea I had, but I did like the result of this card.  Anything with glitter usually makes me a happy girl!

The card uses these supplies from Stampin' Up: stamp set Festive Flurry and coordinating Festive Flurry framelits dies, the silver glimmer paper (I'm in LOVE with this paper!!!!!!), a retired stamp set Welcome Christmas, and some old ribbon.  Hope you like it and that you'll stop by tomorrow for some more fall cards!  Thanks for stopping by!

Merry Little Christmas Cocoa Card

Hello!  Today's card is another Christmas card to help you get ideas for your own Christmas cards.  This is a really cute idea I saw on the internet a few years back and it's been so long ago that I don't even know who I got the idea from, but it's pretty clever.  It's a Christmas card made out of a brown paper lunch bag with hot cocoa inside.  I believe the person I cased this from made her card an invitation to an ice skating event, and then stashed the hot cocoa packet inside the invitation with some cute little saying like 'join us for hot cocoa after' or something cute like that.  I've made this card once before, but made it again this year with current Stampin' Up! stamps.  I used the stamp set Merry Little Christmas, and Festive Flurry for my card, and also used the illuminate stamp pad and pool party ink.

 I added a snowflake cut out of the silver glimmer paper with the snowflake framelit die and popped it up on a dimensional and tied the card off with ribbon to hold the cocoa packet inside.  Pretty fun!

I hope you liked today's card.  I think it was a clever card, and wish I could give credit where credit is due, but at least you know I was not the original creator of this card.  I'm just really good at 'case'ing.  See you tomorrow!
