Thank You Snow Much

We have a fun card using circles today to create a thank you card for this Winter season!

This fun snowman card, designed by DT Member Robin, was made using circle punches, sponging the edges with Tumbled Glass distress ink and stacking the circles with dimensionals. Hole punches were used for the eyes and teeth; a free form nose was cut from orange paper. Snowflake and snowman arms are Martha Stewart punches. The sentiment is from Jillan Vance Designs Snowflake Sentiemnts and sponged with Barn Door distress ink.

 

Wouldn't this card be a great thank you card for your Christmas gifts? Or maybe a great Christmas gift itself! Stop by the store to see it in person and get the supplies to make it.

Rejoice!

Happy Monday, crafters! We're back this week with another gorgeous card by DT Member Lynette. This simple but beautiful Christmas card is stamped with Delicata Golden Glitz pigment ink using the stamp set A Winter View by Taylored Expressions. The star die cut is from Memory Box, and to give it a little extra sparkle gold embossing powder was applied to the surface.

 

Stop by Stamp Fever this week to see all of Lynette's gorgeous Chrismtas and Winter cards in person.


Christmas Snowman

Don't you just love this super cute snowman! The snowman, tree, holly, and sentiment are from the Paper Smooches stamp sets Snowdudes and Merry Motifs. The photo frame die cut and Peace Love Joy paper is from Lawn Fawn. A touch of clear and white Wink of Stella was used to add a bit of sparkle to the paper pieced tree.

 

What a fun card by DT Member Lynette! We hope you have a great weekend and stop by Stamp Fever for your Christmas craft supplies!

New Years Treat Bag

Today we have another fun project from DT Member Lynette! Take a look at this awesome treat bag for New Years.

This cute New Years Treat box is made from Sizzix's Where Women Cook bag with flap die and the stamp set A Winter View from Taylored Expressions. The design is stamped with white Unicorn pigment ink onto a piece of black chalkboard paper from Lawn Fawn's Peace Love Joy collection and embellished with Wink of Stella, Tim Holtz tinsel garland, and some die-cut stars from Taylored Expressions. If you don't have a bag die, this design would also go well on a small pre-made kraft bag.

Basic Grey Season's Greetings Snowflake Card

Today we have DT Member Lauren's final card using Basic Grey's Merry Christmas stamp set (with Hero Arts) and Basic Grey's 25th and Pine 6x6" paper pad. This card is themed more for winter and uses the snowflake patterned paper form the set.

Lauren started with a kraft (by Neenah) card base and added some patterned paper from the 25th and Pine paper set. She foled up a doily and also added some blue card stock that was punched using a scalloped border punch by EK Success. Lauren added a little touch of silver using a Silver Gelly Roll pen. The "Seasons Greetings" ornament stamp from the Merry Christmas set was stamped in blue on whilte (by Nennah) and she glued a small ribbon using Lawn Fawn's Silver Lawn Trimmings.

 

 

Before using a 3D Foam Square to attach the ornament, she added a pice of glitter tape (by American crafts). She also cut out one of the snowflakes from the paper and glued it behind the doily, just so it peeked out a bit. There are three rhinestones to add some more "bling" to this festive card.

 

We hope you enjoyed Lauren's cards! She, along with all of our design team members, will be at the store on Saturday for our Holiday Open House with a make 'n take. Make sure to come by and say hi... And do a little shopping! :)

Basic Grey Christmas Tree Card

We're back today with more Christmas inspiration for you by DT Member Lauren. She created this Christmas Tree card using Basic Grey's Merry Christmas stamp set (with Hero Arts) and Basic Grey's 25th and Pine 6x6" paper pad.

 

 

 

The card base is kraft by Neenah and she stamped the Christmas tree in green ink on white paper also by Neenah. The patterned paper is from Basic Grey's 25th and Pine. While the tree is from the Merry Christmas set by Basic Grey and Hero Arts, the "Be Merry" sentiment is from Lawn Fawn's stamp set Peace Joy Love and stamped in red chalk ink.

 

 

Lauren crated the stitching look using a Silver Gelly Roll pen. Lauren likes to add a little "bling" to her cards and she used gold glitter on the tree and gold glitter tape by American Crafts. Finally, a little green seam binding ribbon to give the card some texture and dimension.

 

Come back to the blog on Thursday to see Lauren's final card using the Basic Grey products!

Basic Grey Ornament Card

Happy Monday! Today we have some Christmas inspiration for you. DT Member Lauren created this ornament card using Basic Grey's Merry Christmas stamp set (with Hero Arts) and Basic Grey's 25th + Pine 6x6" paper pad.

 

The card stock is kraft and white by Neenah and some blue paper from her stash (we'll be carrying Bazzill so you'll be seeing projects featuring Bazzill paper soon). She used red, pink and blue inks for the oraments and added a small rhinestone to each one. The ornaments are "hanging" using Lawn Fawn's silver Lawn Trimmings and there is some twine also tied around in a bow. The December 25 sentiment is also stamped in red and attached using Tim Holtz's Tiny Attacher.

Christmas is going to be here before you know it! To help give you some inspiration for Christmas, we have more Christmas cards from DT Member Robin this week. :)

Today's card is a simple and quick to make card. This Happy Holidays card was creating using different sizes of snowflakes from Jillian Vance Designs' set Just Snowflakes Too. The sentiment is also from Jillian Vance Designs and all are stamped in a dark cherry red ink with a matching ribbon and rhinestones to finish the card. Doesn't it look so elegant?

Merry Christmas Snowflakes

Happy Friday, stampers! Today and the beginning of next week we will be featuring DT Member Robin's gorgeous Christmas cards using the Just Snowflakes Too stamp set from Jillian Vance Designs. Today's card is a gorgeous red and white Christmas card. Keep reading to see how Robin created her card.

This Merry Christmas card design was inspired by the Halloween Make 'n Take we had at Stamp Fever. At the time, Sizzix had not released the die to make this card, so Robin invented her own method (more difficult and time consuming) to make this card. Using the Jillian Vance Just Snowflakes Too stamp set, the three snowflakes were stamped with Memento Ink, die cut using the coordinating dies from Jillian Vance and placed on the red circles. A simple sentiment from Hero Arts and a red bow complete this card. Linda at Stamp Fever has ordered the die cut set from Sizzix to make this card easy to cut out and assemble. Call now to see if she has any left so you can make this card, too!

We hope you have a great weekend and remember to stop by Stamp Fever!
