Happy New Year!

Hello everyone, Happy New Year!  Today I would like to share a couple cards with you using the adorable Snowman Soup stamp set from Sweet N Sassy stamps.


For my first card I colored the image with copics and added some sparkle with stickles and a rhinestone.  I created the bottom layers of the card with the SNSS scallop border die and used the SNSS mini tag die set for the sentiment.


My second card I again colored the snowman mug with copics and added a rhinestone to the star.  For the whipped cream, I used liquid appliqué and heated it with my heat tool so it became puffy.  Once again I used the mini tag die for the sentiment.  The designer paper for both cards is from the My Minds Eye Winter Wonderland collection.

Thank you so much for stopping by today.  I wish you all a very happy healthy New Year!!!

Snow Glad We're Friends

Hi everyone!  I hope that your holiday planning is going well.  It is such a busy and fun time of the year.  Today I would like to share two cards with you using the adorable Snowy Hello stamp set from Sweet N Sassy stamps.


I stamped the snowflakes in the bg and popped up the snowman which was colored with copics with foam tape. Stickles were added for sparkle.  The papers are My Minds Eye Winter Wonderland.  I used SNSS mini tag die for the sentiment which is from the Christmas tags set.


The image once again was colored with copics and stickles were added as the snow.  I added rhinestones to the scallops that were cut using the SNSS scallop border dies.  The papers are also from My Minds Eye Winter Wonderland collection.

Thanks for stopping in today, have a great day!

CAS Snowflakes

It can be tricky creating beautiful cards that are easy to mail.  Today I would like to share some one layer cards that I made using post it notes for masking.

The first two cards are pretty similar.  I used large post it notes to mask off a rectangle and sponged ink inside of the rectangle.  I then stamped the snowflakes from the newly released Spectacular Snowflakes from Sweet N Sassy stamps set in different colors and sizes and accented with rhinestones to finish it off.



The last card I masked off a horizontal strip across the card and sponged with light blue ink.  Keeping the masks in place I then stamped the snowflakes in navy and purple and accented them with stickles.


Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope that you have enjoyed the cards I have shared.  Have a great day!
