Snowman Seasons Duo

Leave a reply

After I’d made last Wednesday’s card with the Snowman Seasons, I wondered about putting two of the snowmen together. I think it worked really well.

I used memento tuxedo black ink and then a few blends (dark poppy parade and light pumpkin pie) to add little pops of colour. I had to make the scarf red and white to show support for the Welsh rugby team! I also added some clear wink of Stella to the snowmen for some glimmer – despite photographing the card at an angle, I was unable to show the glimmer, but it’s there! Some rhinestones for our friend on the left to juggle and one of the sets sentiments finished off the front. I added a mat of poppy parade and a thick whisper white card base.

Snowman Season Bundle

Leave a reply

I’ve been having fun with the Snowman Season Bundle although this card only uses the Snowman Season photopolymer stamp set (150458) and a few blends.

I stamped the happy snowman image using momento black ink and then used both colours of the seaside spray blends to colour in the background. The coal and rocks were in light basic black and of course pumpkin pie for his nose. I also used a touch of wink of Stella over his whole body to give some shimmer and then the Snowball Accents Puff Paint to give him something firm to stand on. I added a black mat and then used black for the sentiment which is from Itty Bitty Christmas which is a set full of great Christmassy sayings – 18 of them for only $22 (150513).

Since he was juggling, I added a number of embellishments from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels (150457) and Rhinestone Basic Jewels (144220) packs. The card base is of course also seaside spray.

Playful Penguins

Leave a reply

This week I’m playing with the Playful Penguins cling stamp set (150532, $22) and there’s a lot to play with. Three penguins, 5 sentiments and 3 ways to dress them up – in addition to the bow-tie I used here, there’s also a hat and a scarf.

I stamped the penguin in memento and then added his real red bow-tie. I cut him out with the stitched rectangle dies and layered him on a piece of real red. I added some of the Snowfall Accents puff paint for him to stand on and then heated with the heat tool to make it look puffy.

The large whisper white layer was embossed with the Subtle textured embossing folder and layered onto a real red card base. The finishing touch was a real red cotton bow. I can see a lot more cards made with Playful Penguins!

More Brightly Gleaming suite

Leave a reply

Well here I am with more Brightly Gleaming suite; the designer series paper is wonderful so I wanted it to be the focus of the card.

Each strip of DSP is 2 inches wide which means I can make 12 of these cards from one piece of the DSP. I used a little sentiment from Itty Bitty Christmas because I wanted something to fit in a small circle or square.

Do you go hunting for the SHAPE of a sentiment too? LOL.

But my big question here is, which do you prefer – the circle sentiment backed with copper foil or the stitched square version? I just can’t make up my mind!

Brightly Gleaming Suite

Leave a reply

The Brightly Gleaming Suite is one of my favorites from the new Holiday catalog. The stamps are beautiful but the designer series paper is absolutely gorgeous – there are copper foil scents on it. I recommend just buying the entire suite (153467). If you do, that will put you over the $50 in product which will score you the 15 tutorials that were made by the Talented Tutorial Team for this month which are focused on Tricks and Thanks..

Brightly Gleaming

I just matted a piece of the wonderful DSP with some copper foil and also embossed the sentiment in copper too. Simple, quick to make multiples and beautiful. What more could you ask? #simplestampin
