Control Freaks Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland

I'm officially a FREAK...A Control Freak!  I am SO excited to join this super talented group of stampers, especially this month as we are stamping our way through a Winter Wonderland.  You should have just made your way here from the crafty and creative Cindy Elam.  Isn't she amazing?!?! 

With Christmas just around the corner, I've been working on some packaging ideas and thought it would be fun to make a cute little gift box and matching card.  I've paired up the adorable Let It Snow DSP with Everything Festive stamp set for the perfect Winter Wonderland creations!

Isn't this little snowman the CUTEST?!?!  Did you know the Snowman Builder Punch coordinates with some of the glittery snowmen and dapper little hats in the Let It Snow DSP?  This is the BEST!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Blueberry Bushel, Whisper White, Let It Snow DSP, Sparkle Glimmer Paper

Ink ~ Blueberry Bushel, VersaMark

Stamp Set ~ Everything Festive

Other Supplies ~ Winter Knit 3D Embossing Folder,  Seasonal Layers Dies, Stitched Nested Labels Dies, Snowman Builder Punch, Triple Banner Punch, Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle, Whisper White Bakers Twine

What says Winter Wonderland like a little delivery from the North Pole!  How about this Dashing Deer paired up with the frosty print from the Wrapped In Plaid DSP?  Can't you just see this beautiful reindeer leading Santa's sleigh?  Adding just a few Holiday Rhinestones will help light their way!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Night of Navy, Whisper White, Wrapped in Plaid DSP

Ink ~ VersaMark

Stamp Set ~ Perfectly Plaid

Happy Tuesday stampers!  We are back with an all new Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge.  I don't know about you, but these colors had me thinking of Christmas right away!

And these fun and festive colors just so happen to be in the ADORABLE Let it Snow DSP.  This is my favorite DSP in the 2019 Catalog!  I love the bright colors and the stripes...stripes are my FAVORITE!

It's been a bit since I've made a banner, so I decided it was time.   With a few cute patterns and some quick die-cutting, I had this banner made in no time! 

I added a few punched embellishments, a little pine tree and a cute little top hat, strung it all together and called it good! 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Let It Snow DSP. Real Red, Coastal Cabana, Whisper White, Shaded Spruce

Other Supplies ~ Nested Stitched Labels, Layering Circles, Triple Banner Punch, Whisper White Bakers Twine

Be sure to join in the color fun with this week's challenge!  We love to see what you are inspired to create!

Happy Stamping!

Merry & Bright

We made it through Monday and we are cruising right on in to Tuesday!  I have a busy week ahead of me, so that calls for some simple stamping!  

As I mentioned in my last post, I'm preparing for my November card class.  I always try to have at least one quick and easy card for my customers to create and this card is what I will use this month.  

Thanks to the fun colors and patterns in the Let It Snow DSP, you can easily create a quick card with just a little stamping.  

I stamped some snowflakes from the Snowman Season Photopolymer Stamp Set on the Mint Macaron background.  After adding a few festive layers of Let It Snow DSP, I topped the card off with a heat embossed Merry & Bright from Everything Festive on the bold and beautiful Shaded Spruce.  I cut the sentiment out using the Stitched Nested Labels, cutting one side of the label off.

There is always a part of me that wants to add more...more layers, embellishments, ribbon...but I left this card as is!  Sometimes you just have to let the stamps and paper speak for themselves! 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White, Mint Macaron, Shaded Spruce, Let It Snow DSP

Ink ~ Mint Macaron, VersaMark

Stamp Sets ~ Let It Snow, Everything Festive

Other Supplies ~ White Embossing Powder, Stitched Nested Labels

I hope your week is off to a great start!  I'll be back later this week with some other fun projects to share.

Happy Stamping!
