CSF899 – SNOWY DELIGHTS

December 11, 2025 By Connie | Leave a Comment

It’s Thursday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends challenge! We’ve got a new sketch for you to try this week!

SNOWY DELIGHTS

Yep…I love this large snowflake in Snowy Delights! It was perfect for the centerpiece on this sketch! I haven’t even used the masks that go with this bundle! Again, I’m SO sad they have this on the Last Chance list! I think it is overlooked in the catalog!

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Cloud Cover cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded to form the base card.
The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock was added on top.
A 2-3/4 x 2-3/4 square of Peaceful Garden DSP was cut diagonally and then added to the top and bottom of the Basic White cardstock.
The outline snowflake was cut from Cloud Cover cardstock and the detail snowflake from Basic White cardstock and adhered together. It was added to the center with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The greeting from Snowy Delight was stamped with Secret Sea Ink on a 3/4 x 3 piece of Basic White cardstock and the ends cut at an angle. It was added to the snowflake with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
A large silver Faceted Snowflakes was added to the center of the cut snowflake.

This would be a simple Christmas card to mass produce! OK, check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Stamping Friends.

Supplies:
Stamps: Snowy Delights
Ink: Secret Sea
Cardstock: Basic White, Cloud Cover
Designer Paper: Peaceful Garden 12×12

CS223 – Branching Out

Our Creatively Simple theme this month is “All You Need is Love”! Could be love at Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Wedding, Anniversary…so many ways to express love!

BRANCHING OUT

I really LOVE this Branching Out Stamp Bundle and sad to see it is on the Last Chance List. I thought I could use it for a sweet LOVE card and really like how it turned out!

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Real Red cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
Two 3/4 x 5-1/2 strips of Made with Love Designer Paper were added at the top and bottom.
The 3 x 5-1/2 piece of Basic White was stamped with the Branching Out branch in Early Espresso Ink and the “pine needles” in Real Red. (I thought they looked like hearts!)
The Branching Out greeting was stamped with Early Espresso Ink on Flirty Flamingo cardstock and cut with the oval die in Snowy Delights Dies. Love that shape!
Some Linen Thread was wrapped in a circle a few times then added to the front with a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional. The greeting label was added on top with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
A trio of Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink Gems were added to the background.

This is a great LOVE card for SO many different occasions and was SO easy to make! OK check out Debbie’s new Creatively Simple card over on Create with Stamping Friends!

Saturday Blog Hop – Holiday Magic

It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop. This week’s challenge is “Holiday Magic”!

SNOWY DELIGHTS

I always think snow at Christmas is magical! I don’t really like it after Christmas…partly why we head to Florida for the winter! So, I chose to use the Snowy Delights bundle for today’s Holiday Magic card in some fun colors!

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Highland Heather cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Everyday Happiness Designer Paper is added on top (it reminded me of snow falling!)
The largest Snowy Delights snowflake was cut from Highland Heather, the medium from Pretty in Pink and the smallest from Cloud Cover. They were adhered together and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The greeting from Snowy Delights stamp set was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White and cut with the label die. It was added to the center with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Some purple Frosted Iridescent Dots were added to the snowflake.
The white Baker’s Twine was colored with a Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends, then tied in a bow and added below the greeting.

Love these unusual colors! OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Stamping Friends website, then on to creative Debbie Henderson, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!

SUPPLIES:

Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration is a pretty snowflake!

SNOWY DELIGHTS

I have several snowflake sets, but this one is brand new for me! I love that it has stencils, stamps AND dies! I just used this pretty snowflake die on my card for today’s challenge! This would be a VERY easy card to mass produce for your Christmas cards this year!

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Azure Afternoon cardstock was embossed with the Soft Waves Embossing Folder and added to the front.
A 2 x 4 piece of Basic White cardstock was torn across the top and the Snowy Delights greeting stamped with Azure Afternoon ink in the center. It was added to the bottom.
The snowflake was cut with the die from Basic White cardstock and added to the front tucked slightly under the “snowbank”.
The medium blue Traditional Sparkling Sequins were added to the arms of the snowflake, and the center holds a small one.

That’s it! OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!
