A Frosty Christmas

Hi Stampers! Here are some cards I made for a friend, which entirely CASED and inspired by Dawn Griffith. She has a wonderful videw on how to make the icicles on the card below and on how to make the Frosty the Snowman card I made using only punches! To watch the videos go to Dawn's Stamping Thoughts. She has a great blog with lots of inspiring projects!



This card was a lot of fun to make but does require patience. The icicles on top of the card were made using Crystal Effects, Dazzling Diamonds and some wax paper. The patience comes in waiting for the Crystal Effects to dry before attaching it to your card. But I think the end result is definitely worth the wait, don't you?


All Supplies Stampin' Up!
Stamps: Snow Swirled
Ink: Kiwi Kiss, White Craft Ink
Paper: Baja Breeze, Whisper White, Ski Slope Designer Series Paper
Accessories: Silver Mini-Deco Fasteners, Crystal Effects, Dazzling Diamonds, Ticket Corner Punch, Wax Paper

The Frosty Card I think is so CUTE! He came together rather quickly, with the help of various different punches and some Dazzling Diamonds. Dawn uses the Trio Flower Punch to add the flowers to his top hat but I don't have that punch so I used the smallest flower from the Boho Blossoms Punch. Don't you just love him!

All Supplies Stampin' Up!

Stamps: None

Ink: Pink Pirouette

Paper: Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, Real Red

Accessories: White Signo Gel Pen, Boho blossoms Punch, 1-3/8" Circle Punch, 1-1/4" Circle Punch, 1" Circle Punch, 1/2" Circle Punch, Sponge Daubers, Dazzling Diamonds, 2-Way Glue Pen, Stampin' Dimensionals.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stampin'!

I Wish Simply Scrappin' Kit Christmas Cards: Part 4

Hi Stampers,
Here are the last of the cards I made using the I Wish Simply Scrappin' Kit. Unfortunately, I only have 2 pictures of individual cards and one group picture. Not sure what happened to the individual pictures of the last 2 cards I made. Sorry about that.

You have no idea how much fun and easy it was to make these cards using this kit. All the supplies in this kit are so beautiful and coordinate so perfectly with lots of our stamp sets and accessories. As a reminder, the I Wish Simply Scrappin' Kit is retiring so if you're interested in this buy it now before it runs out!

I Wish Simply Scrappin' Kit Christmas Cards: Part 3

Hi Stampers,

As promised here is Part 3 of the Christmas Cards I made using the I Wish Simply Scrappin' Kit. Again, I thought I had a group picture but turns out I don't. Sorry :o( I used some stamps to add the Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Sentiments on the cards as well as the Word Window Punch. As before, everything else (minus the ribbon of course) is from the kit. Enjoy!

I Wish Simply Scrappin' Kit Christmas Cards: Part 2

Hi Stampers,
Here the next 4 cards that I made using the I Wish Simply Scrappin' Kit. I used a couple of different stamp sets to embellish these cards, some punches and a sentiment from the Season of Cheer Rub-Ons. These rub-ons go on so easily and quickly and really add to cards as well as 3-D items and scrapbook pages. Other than that, the supplies to create the cards were all from the kit. I thought I had a group picture of these cards but I guess not, so enjoy the individual cards below!

I Wish Simply Scrappin' Kit Christmas Cards: Part 1

Hi Stampers! Well, I was obviously too tired to post any pictures last night but today I was finally able to catch up on some much needed sleep and I'm ready to share some pictures with you!

I sent out Christmas cards to my family, friends and Stampin' Up! Customers this year, and made them all using the I Wish Simply Scrappin' Kit (which is retiring). All of these cards were either entirely CASED or inspired by Jill's Card Creations. I was able to make 35 4x4" cards and only used 1/2 of my kit! If you've never used these kits, we have several available that are meant to be used to make scrapbooking easier, but they also work great for making cards! Each Simply Scrappin' Kit comes with 6 sheets of 2 Double-Sided Designer Series Papers, 2 sheets each of 4 different colored 12x12 Textured Cardstock, and 2 sheets each of 3 different Self-Adhesive Die-Cuts for just $19.95! You can't beat that.

As noted in the title above, this will be Part 1 of my shares. I will share new pictures each day to keep you interested, LOL. So let's get started, here's a group shot of the first cards I made.

And below you will find individual pictures of the 4 cards I made using the Real Red 12x12 Textured Card Stock. I love the look and feel of the textured cardstock.

All Supplies Stampin' Up!

Stamps: All Holidays

Ink: Real Red, Kiwi Kiss

Paper: I Wish Simply Scrappin' Kit

Accessories: Old Olive 1/4" Grosgrian Ribbon, Real Red 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals, Embossing Buddy

Have a good night and Happy Stampin'!

My Apologies....

Hi Stampers! I just wanted to apologize for being absent from my blog for such a long time! My last post was on Christmas Day! Things have just been crazy, hectic due to the holidays and to be honest I didn't have much time to stamp. I do have pictures of some Christmas Cards I made this year and I hope to post them either tonight or tomorrow night. It all depends on my energy, I am exhausted! I started school today and I am pooped. However, one of my New Year's Resolutions is to dedicate more time to my blog and do more stamping so I hope to get to that real soon. I hope everyone had a very Happy New Year and I wish you and your family all the best for this New Year.

Happy Stampin'!
