Avery Elle How You Doin’?

Although Christmas may now be behind us, it doesn’t mean that there aren’t still winter-themed cards to be made! Today I’m sharing a friendship card featuring the bear and rabbit on a sled image from the Avery Elle Snow Much Fun stamp set which I framed with Pretty Pink Posh’s Decorative Tag 1.

AEHowYouDoinI stamped, cut and Copic-colored the bear and rabbit, adding them to the PPP frame. (I cut a snowbank with Dotted Borders and with the PPP inner frame.)

I heat-embossed a sentiment from Simply Said: Hello and cut it with a banner die. I added a dry-embossed rectangle and a strip of patterned paper to the card base. (I’m using a pattern from one of my many Christmas-themed patterned paper pads.)

Good Tidings – Die Cut Christmas Scene

Today I’m sharing a Christmas scene using die cuts.

I cut the Poppystamps Elegant Stair Frame from the white cardstock and attached it to the card base, which I’d covered with patterned paper. I created the sentiment on my computer using a sentiment set from Ali Edwards. I decorated the tree with ornaments I cut with the Cabrini Ornament die from red, silver and gold cardstock. To finish off the card, I added a cat cut with an Impression Obsession die set.

Merry Christmas!

All Is Bright – Holiday Window Scene

Today, I’m sharing a CAS (and easy-to-assemble) holiday card created with die cuts.

Jean Manis Holiday Die Cut Scene

I used patterned paper to cover the card base and to provide the scene in the window. I added a sentiment created with a digital brush set from Ali Edwards.

I’m adding this to the Color Throwdown Challenge #373.

Supplies: Poppystamps cat, American Crafts Be Merry patterned paper, Ali Edwards digital sentiment

Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #15

I’m playing along with the Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #15.

Here’s my take on the challenge in which I used both the sketch and the center column of the Tic Tac Toe – no patterned paper, gold and vellum:

I heat-embossed the sentiment from Simply Stamped – Roses onto vellum and adhered the vellum to Salt Water Taffy cardstock. I created a frame from Sugar Cube cardstock with one of the dies in the Stitched Square Stacklets set and adhered the frame to the vellum panel. I added a floral silhouette cut with the Silhouette Stems 1 die out of Lollipop cardstock.

Penny Black Simplicity – CAS Heat-Embossed Winter Tree

Today, I’m sharing a CAS holiday card featuring a holiday tree image from Penny Black’s the 30-308 Peace & Harmony set.

I heat-embossed the tree with silver embossing powder onto a white cardstock panel. I adhered the panel to a card base covered with paper from the 80-013 Holiday Trimming pad. I added a bird cut from watercolor paper, which I watercolored with Distress Ink, using a die from the 51-050 Tweet Things set. I heat-embossed the sentiment, from the 30-257 Joy Filled set and cut it with the banner die from the 51-055 Shades set.

This card would be easy to mass produce and could be easily changed up by heat-embossing with a different color powder, using different patterned paper or using different colored cardstock for the panel and banner.
