Winter - Right as Rain

Love Is In the Air – CAS Valentine

Hello! We have A LOT of snow here in the PNW (very unusual and the amounts we have received are record-setting). Given the situation, I made a snow-themed Valentine using the Scenic Snow Globe from My Favorite Things.

I created the sentiment on my computer and printed it on the Fog Gray cardstock, which I then cut with a Lil’ Inker square die.
I cut the house, tree, snow banks, and snow globe from a variety of cardstock colors. I assembled the house and tree and then set them aside.
I applied embossing paste to the globe background with the Falling Hearts stencil.
Once the paste was dry, I adhered the house, tree, and snow banks to the globe background, and I adhered the assembly to the card base.

Snow Much Love

Hello from the snowy Pacific Northwest! We received almost a foot of snow overnight. Today I am sharing a CAS Valentine created with the Marianne Design Eline’s Penguin and Igloo & Mountain sets (I purchased the sets from 123 Stitch).

I paired the assembled penguins and igloo with a sentiment that I created on my computer and cut with a snow slope die.

Patterned paper from my stash filled in the background.

Hope your week is off to a terrific start!

Hugs + Kisses Hot Cocoa Cups

Hello! Today, I am sharing a quick and easy CAS die-cut Valentine’s Day card featuring the My Favorite Things Hot Cocoa Cups.

I cut the pink and blue cups from Stampin’ Up cardstock along with latte and white cardstock. I added letters created with a retired Memory Box alphabet die set. I used the largest square stitched Lawn Fawn die to cut the card background from Stampin’ Up cardstock.

CAS Winter Comfort Card

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS winter-themed card featuring dies from Spellbinders and Fun Stampers Journey. I wanted to convey a sense of comfort with the teapot and hearts set against a window, which I cut with the Fun Stampers Journey Window View die set.

The teapot was cut with one of the dies in the Spellbinders Tea Pots by Sharyn Sowell die set; the hearts are included in the Spellbinders Gingerbread Boy Garland Tag set. I used Echo Park patterned paper from my stash along with a sentiment from My Favorite Things Cup of Tea.

Fun Stampers Journey – You Are Loved

Hello! I am sharing a CAS winter-themed Valentine (or friendship card) featuring the Fun Stampers Journey It’s Cold Outside and Sending My Love stamp sets. Both stamp sets have coordinating dies.

I used rectangle dies to create the card frame. I stamped the cute critters from It’s Cold Outside and colored them with Copic markers and colored pencils and cut them with their coordinating dies. I stamped the sentiment from Sending My Love on Pool Play cardstock, which I placed behind the frame. I stamped hearts from the same set with Candy Apple ink, which I cut with their coordinating die and added to the background with foam adhesive.
