Winter Delights

Hi all, i'm ready for some cold and snow. I am so done with this warm winter and these crazy storms I pray for all the people that lost there homes in the south.

As I was thinking of snow I made this winter card.

I started by stamping the Winter Wonder Words Background on white card stock with Peacock Feathers Distress Ink. On a separate piece of card stock I used a edge die to cut the hill then I stamped the Simple Snowman  and colored him with Copic markers I covered him with a mask and stamped the Snow Background with the Peacock Feather Ink. Along the top edge I used glitter glue to add a frosty touch. These were mounted on brown card stock then a white card.

On the inside I stamped the Snowy Days Frosty Night in Coco Ink then stamped the Snow background over the top.

On the back I added the Snowman Especially for you and a strip with the snow background.

Have a wonderful day,

Janett

Snowdrifts through the Trees

Hello, everyone we had out first snow of the year, we got 4 whole inches that's a lot of snow for us. It just beautiful with the sun shinning so bright . So I had to make a snow card.

I keep is simple not a lot of coloring. To start I stamped the Christmas Village Gazebo  then masked and stamped the Pine Tree Snowdrifts . I die cut the frame and trees from kraft cs and used Copic Opaque White and a old tooth brush to spatter the front.and added two litter cardinals.

On the inside I use the Baby it's Cold Outside. It was stamped in black and I used a white glaze pen for the highlights and two more little red birds.

  

Here is a look at our beautiful snow.

Have a wonderful day,

Warm Hearts

Happy New Years

I hope you had the best night. And I pray this year will be better than the last.

I started my card by stamping the Penguin Snowball Blast covering it with a mask then cutting a mast for the mountains. I used Picked Raspberry Distress Ink.

Copics were used to color the rest of the image. On the Igloo I used some white Wink of Stella to tone down the blue. 

The mountains and snow areas I used a clear Spectrum Noir pen.

I really like the new half circle dies that everyone is using. I don't have one, so I put my own twist on this and created my one look. I used a straight stitch die to cut across the bottom then a circle die to cut the rest. 

I stamped the Snowy Days Frosty Nights Greeting in to parts. And cut out with a circle die. The Winter Wonder Words were stamped with Picked Raspberry Distress Ink. To finish it off I added a little bling to the punched snowflakes.

Have a wonderful day,

Janett

Winters Cabin

My heart is just not into stamping but sometimes you just need to push forward. So I just forced my self to color and make my favorite type of card. A easel card and use one of my favorite stamps.

I started by stamping the Christmas Village Cabin and colored with Copic markers for the limbs across the top I used the Summer's End Tree  and a white jell pen. I added some white glitter and called it done.

For the background I used the same tree for the branches added a die cut and some dots from a jell pen and a few sequins.

For the greeting I used the From My House at Christmas. I added a little white jell pen and some punched branches.

Have a wonderful day,

Snow Better Christmas

today I have a shaker card.

This card was so easy to make.

I started by die cutting a square.

Then stamping the New

Snowman Bird Buddies

and coloring with Zig Clear Color markers.

I cut two fun foam frames and 1 from card stock then a square from Transparency Film and one more card stock square.

On the back I added another square that was scored at 1.5 Inches and glued it across the top.

This is a very simple way to make a  shaker card.

Have a wonderful day,

Off to get the Christmas Tree

Good morning everyone.

I hope your Christmas perpetration are going well. When my kids were little we always went to a Christmas tree farm to get our tree. It was great fun they had hay rides, hot apple cider and my son always cut down our tree. This made great memories that the kids carry on with there families.

With my card I tried to recreate those special memories.  

The card base was made using a center step die. 
I started by stamping the Christmas Village Tree Store   I used a mask then stamped the Christmas Village Sloped Roof Cottage I used part of the Christmas Village Pond with Bridge. Behind the cottage the Pine Tree Snowdrifts were stamped. Everything was colored with Copic markers and Flower Soft was added for the snow.

The smaller of the Double Tall Pines was used on the sides. And the Merry Christmas is from the Christmas Multi Greeting.

I hope you are making lots of special memories with your family's. 

Have a wonderful day

Peace Be Your Gift

Hi everyone, with all the turmoil going on in the world I thought this was a perfect sentiment to show today. 

This is a Corner Folded Card. You use a post it note to get the position for the fold then cut on two sides so the corner will flip over. The front was stamped and gold embossed with the Interlocking Snow Background, then the inside front was stamped and gold embossed with the Snow Background. Over the fold I used the new Joy To You Christmas Circle.

On the inside I used the 

Peace Be Your Gift Christmas Greeting.

This is my wish for everyone this holiday season.

Have a wonderful day,

Janett

This is a You Tube video that shows how to do the fold.

Corner Fold Card  

Snowy Birthday

Hi all, today I wanted to show you a card I made for my granddaughters birthday its not until December so want it to be more winter and not to much Christmas. I found this stamp last year but it did not arrive in time to us it then. I also wanted to use a different fold, so I chose to do a gate fold.

I started by stamping Marci by La - La Land Crafts I tried some different color combinations an  and decided to use the burgundy and brown on the front. After fussy cutting Marci I started on the front of the card. I cut two burgundy panels then using a old toothbrush and Copic Opaque White I spattered the panels. For the hill she is standing on was cut with a die then lightly covered with Flowersoft snow white. The sign is from DRS designs.The snowflake punches are MS.

I also want to tell you about a great deal that I found  it's a web site called Scrapbook Outlet  they have great prices on die and embossing folders I got five dies and a embossing folder for fifty dollars and free shipping. The service was a little slow as it took 4 days for it to be shipped but it does say on the web site that it could take three to five days, I ordered on a Monday and had it in my hand by the next Tuesday. At these prices I would gladly order from them again.

  

Have a wonderful day,

Christmas Winter

Hi all, we are having the best weather for the past few days 80 degrees and no humility. It really has me looking forward to fall of the year.

 My card today is a winter scene. 

  The sky was airbrushed through a mask, the colors that I used were Y35,BV02, and BV13.

I stamped the trees from the Pine Tree Snowdrifts  with coco ink.

Then I used some of the trees from the Tree Line Border . I added a layer of torn paper that was stamped with the Tiny Snowman. I used glitter glue to add some depth to the snow. 

I stamped the 4 in 1 Flower Background around the edge. For the frame I stamped the Merry Christmas from the Christmas Multi Greeting then stamped more of the 4 in 1 Flower Background, Perfect Pearls was added to the branches. To make the frame stable I used a layer of fun foam behind the frame.Everything was attached to a kraft card.

On the inside I stamped the Memories Are Made Christmas Greeting and some of the branches onto white card stock.

On the back I stamped the Script Hand Stamped and the branch on some die cut white card.

Have a wonderful day,

Filling the stockings

Good morning I thought I would share somethings that I made to go in everyone's stockings this year. I'm sure that you all seen the M&M sticks before but I think the grand kids will like them, I used a old  sizzix die for the snowflake. I made the body lotion and that is some good stuff really helps with winter dry skin, I think my girls will enjoy.
