Delightful Decorations is the must have stamp set in the Holiday Mini.

Serene Snowflakes Resist...

A simple and elegant snowflake card using a resist technique. What I did was stamp the large snowflake on White Shimmer cardstock with white craft ink and then embossed it with Iridescent Ice embossing powder. I then put a few drops of Bashful Blue ink refill on a tile and used my aquapainter to paint the image until the entire image was covered, leavin the white snowflake ( ink refills won't dry on embossed area's) A super simple technique but it gives a nice watercolour look to the card.

Christmas Jingle...

Here is a card I made using one of the cardstock stickers from the Christmas Jingle Simply Scrapping kits. Not only is this kit beautiful for scrapping your Christmas photo's it makes some fabulous quick and easy cards for those of you who have put them off until the last minute.

The poinsettia's are from the Petals a Plenty Texture folder (in the Holiday Mini) and I just cut them out.

Supplies to Make this card:

• Christmas Jingle Simply Scrappin Kit (includes the cardstock and cardstock sticker
• Real Red 5/8 Grosgrain ribbon
• Petals a Plent Texture Folder
• Gold brads

Too Cool Dudes...

I was so busy yesterday I completely forgot to post a card! I was running from place to place all day trying to get a bunch of stuff done. I'm actually really surprised that yesterday was the first time I forgot! I think the memory is going.

So today I will post two to make up for it. This little snowman has been around for a while and I just love him in blue!

Supplies Used to make this card:

• Too Cool Dudes stamp set
• Brocade Blue cardstock
• Night of Navy Cardstock
• Whisper White cardstock

Season of Joy

Season of Joy is an oldie but a goodie. Year after year I have been making cards that I just love with it. I am going to cry if SU retires this stamp set (ok maybe not cry but I will definitely miss it!)

Not Quite Navy is a colour I have not used a lot for Christmas cards in the past but I just love it with the silver. The silver rub on is perfect for this card especially since you get one sheet of silver and one sheet of white. (I find it hard to emboss on textured cardstock or else I probably would have embossed a sentiment)

Supplies Used to Make this Card:

• Season of Joy stamp set
• Merry and Bright Rub Ons
• Not Quite Navy textured cardstock
• Whisper White cardstock
• Brushed Silver Cardstock
• Corner Rounder PUnch
• Versamark Watermark ink
• Silver embossing powder
• Silver Brad

Scenic Season....

This is one of the many stamp sets I have bought because someone else has bought it (I am easily influenced!) I just love the simple elegance of the stamp set. To make the trees look snowy, I took clear embossing powder and mixed a bit of white embossing powder into it (about 5 parts clear, 1 part white) After I stamped the trees with Garden Green, I used my Versamark Marker to colour overtop of them and then added the embossing powder.

Supplies Used to Make This Card:

• Scenic Season Stamp set
• Patterned Pines stamp set (star)
• Handsome Hunted Cardstock
• Real Red Cardstock
• Very Vanilla Cardstock
• Brushed Gold Cardstock
• Garden Green Classic Ink
• Black Staz On
• Versamark Marker
• Clear Embossing Powder
• White Embossing Powder
• Gold Embossing Powder
• Versamark Watermark ink
• Red Glitter
• Glue Pen
• Ticket Corner Punch
• Real Red Grosgrain ribbon

Warm Winter Wishes

Here is another super cute card made with the Level 3 hostess stamp set The More the Merrier. These snowmen are pretty popular, everyone loves them and they look great in all traditional and non-traditional Christmas colours. This card is more of a "winter" card to me, rather than a Christmas card but change the "warm winter wishes" sentiment to "merry Christmas" and it's a Christmas card!

Supplies used to make this card:

• The More the Merrier stamp set
• White textured cardstock
• Bashful Blue Cardstock
• Pretty in Pink Cardstock
• Bashful Blue Classic ink
• Black Staz On ink
• Pretty in Pink Stampin Write Marker
• Bashful Blue Stampin Write Marker
• Going Gray Stampin Write Marker
• Apricot Appeal Stampin Write Marker

Like pink? Click here to check out an upcoming class in January. I will post a sample for the class on my blog in December.

Bearing Gifts....

This card was made with a cute little image, Bearing Gifts, from the Holiday Mini catalogue.

The White rub ons from the Merry and Bright Rub Ons (Holiday Mini) are perfect finishing touch.

Supplies used to make this card:

Because it’s in the Holiday Mini be sure to order yours before the mini is done (January 4th!)

Delightful Decorations

The new Delightful Decorations stamp set (and matching punch) in the Holiday Mini were a big hit. This is a card I made using the technique Cracked Glass.

The Cracked glass technique is super easy. Just stamp your image on cardstock. Cover the entire piece of cardstock with Versamark Watermark ink (by pressing your ink pad down onto the cardstock) and sprinkle with Glassy glaze embossing Powder (this is chunkier than regular embossing powder) Heat until melted and repeat inking and embossing 3 more times. Put the image in your freezer for 5 minutes and then bend gently to create the cracks in the image.
