Merry Christmas!

 

Here’s my Christmas card for this year, I made about 60 of them!  Again, I went with a Crumb Cake and Real Red combination…it just goes so well with the white Snowman!  And I always do a snowman or snowflake theme every year!  I wanted a more modern, stylized snowman look for my card this year and I think I accomplished that!  I had about 4 versions before I settled on this one.

 

 

Here are the details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Real Red cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • Stamp the 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Crumb Cake cardstock with the greeting from Tin of Tags with Real Red Ink, and then emboss with the Snow Flurry Embossing Folder.
  • Cut a 1-1/2 x 4 piece of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper, then cut it in half lengthwise with a curvy pattern so you get two pieces approx 3/4 x 4.  Adhere one to the bottom of the Crumb Cake cardstock.
  • Cut the Snow Friends Framelit from Whisper White, the hat from Basic Black and adhere to front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Punch the heart with the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch from Red Glimmer Paper and adhere on snowman.
  • Cut a 1/8″ strip of Red Glimmer Paper, add to hat and trim off excess.

 

I love how this turned out!  You can duplicate this card by purchasing the Stampin’ Up! products at my online store…just click on the photos below!  Thanks!

CCMC277-Best of Snow

By | 6 Comments

I've only purchased a couple of the "Best of" series of stamps this year, mainly because I already had a lot of the images.  However, the Best of Halloween and Best of Snow sets have been too fun to pass up!  I love Frosty and especially like that he is smaller in this version.  AND, did you know that the snowflake in Best of Snow also works with the Framelits!  SCORE!!! 

 

We have a FUN sketch for you to try this week over on Create with Connie and Mary!  I love the variety the Challenge Team came up with…make sure to check them out on Create with Connie and Mary!

And here is my interpretation.  I went with a regular sized card, instead of the square that is shown.

 

CCMC277 Best of Snow

Here are the details:

  1. The base is 4 1/4 x 11 of Coastal Cabana (wow…I've used a TON of this color this year!)
  2. I added a 4 x 5 1/4 layer of Whisper White cardstock.
  3. I cut a 1 1/2 x 5 and 3/4 x 5 strip of Winter Frost Designer Paper for the layers in the background and adhered them to the Whisper White.
  4. I cut a 3/4 x 4 strip of Coastal Cabana and stamped "Happy Christmas" from More Merry Messages with Black Stazon on it.
  5. I stamped the Frosty snowman from Best of Snow with Black Stazon on Whisper White, then colored with my Coastal Cabana, Island Indigo, Real Red and Garden Green Stampin' Write Markers.  I added some Dazzling Details on the snowman and let him dry.
  6. I punched him out with the 1 3/4" Circle, then layered on the Island Indigo Window Frame Framelit.  I pierced around the Framelit with the piercing too and placed on the top with Stampin' Dimensionals.
  7. Finally, I added a Frosted Finishes Embellishment on top with a Mini Glue Dot!

 

He's SOOOO cute!  Love it!  Again, make sure to check out the rest of the Challenge Team this week over on Create with Connie and Mary!
