This card was made for Sketch Challenge 365 at SCS. The verse is a Plain Jane stamp from Verve Stamps. I used a little bit of everything for this card; Darice Butterfly embossing folder, SU Butterfly Embosslit, Flourish cut with the Cameo, Swiss Dots embossing folder, and the feather is from Lifestyle Crafts. Thanks for stopping by!

I made a snowflake card that doubles as an ornament. Kind of cool, eh? Lettering Delights has a cool snowflake ornament in their Holiday Gift Giving svg set. Using the Silhouette Cameo, I cut two sets of the same one. One I didn’t embellish, the other I added some texture, dimension, and glitter.

On the back of one of the snowflakes, I used double sided tape on top half of the snowflake. It may be hard to see in the picture, but the tape is on the top five points.

This is what the snowflake looked like after I adhered them together, with only the top half taped together.

Then I used patterned paper (K&Co) and attached another piece of patterned paper to form a pocket. Because this patterned paper blended so well together, I put a piece of white card stock in it so you could see. I added some silver cord and slid the ornament in half way.

The end result is an ornament that is taken out when ready to be used. It wouldn’t be hard to glue or tape the bottom point if needed and it’s a great way to keep some of the card when the rest is tossed in the garbage (and it usually is!). :) Thanks for stopping by!

I had some Papertrey fun this past week and love the colors in this card. I used Winter Penguin and Banner Builder (both PTI), the matching dies for both stamp sets, and the Spiral Notebook die. The background stamp used on the notebook die cut is a Scrapblock from Cornish Heritage Farms and the sentiment is from Tremendous Treats (also PTI). Interestingly enough, we didn’t have snow this year for Christmas in MN. It was quite warm for us as we hit 40 today. What a beautiful day!

Doesn’t this make you want to get cozied up by the fireplace with a good book, movie, or your iPad? This set is called Tremendous Treats: Christmas (Papertrey) and has the cutest images. I can see myself making mini 3×3 cards as well as more full sized cards. The heart tag and stamp are Tiny Tags, also by Papertrey. The tags and stamps are perfect for adding a little sentiment, but having it be a wonderful accent instead of the main focal point. Thanks for stopping by, stay warm!

Well it seems the stamp set (from Papertrey Ink) I almost didn’t get would be the one I’ve used the most this past month. I took this set out of my cart and added it back so many times that by the time I received my order, I couldn’t remember if I actually bought it! But there it was and I have to say, I really love it. For the first card I used Martha Stewart chunky glitter and love the soft shimmer it adds. I adhered it with ScorTape so it wouldn’t flake off everywhere. Love, love, love, this set!

Also…Lettering Delights has some NEW Sherri Berry graphics, the Holiday Frosting Collection. Isn’t it pretty? This collection includes an alphabet, 18 borders, 12 labels for tags and packages, 20 sparkling ornaments, 20 intricate snowflakes, and 25 coordinating papers and cupcake wraps…simply gorgeous.

I made this album with manila file folders, K&Co dp, and the Silhouette Cameo. Mini albums have so many different looks and this one was fun to make. The tags, flourishes, poinsettias, and ornaments were cut with the Cameo. I used Spellbinders tags and snowflakes and bound it all with the Cinch. These would make great grandparents gifts, filled with pictures and memories of grandchildren…movie tickets and other memorabilia of time spent together. Thanks for stopping by!

I love this new set by Papertrey, Love Lives Here: Holiday. It has such a warm, vintage, feel to it. I used the tree dies and Holiday Flourishes & Swirls (also Papertrey) to cut the trees out. The tree in the center was attached with pop dots for some dimension. What a wonderful set and one that I will be stamping more with!

You may remember my other card in my previous post that resembles this one. This time I added some DP (K&Co) and more layers to the snowflake. Tag and stamp are both Papertrey (Tiny Tags), dies are Memory Box Amira Flourish and Spellbinders Labels 15 and Labels 6. Thanks for stopping by!
