SU Winter Woods

October 18, 2018

I used my SU Winter Woods Bundle again for this card…

This time, I used the cluster of trees, the pine tree die cut , and that super cool wavy edgelit.
I started out with this card made with a Shaded Spruce card base with a white panel.
I liked the clean and simple look but wanted something with a little more something.

Then I remembered I could use an embossed vellum panel to create a snowy scene.
This added another layer and more visual appeal, don’t you think?
I really liked that effect on the card below!

*Thanks, Tami Voss Kiemel, for sparking my imagination with the vellum, too.

Take a look at my video to see how I used the wavy edgelit from the
In the Woods Framelits to create the snow drift.
The same measurements are used on both cards.

Thanks for buzzing by, friends…

SU Making Every Day Bright Video Tutorial

October 15, 2018

I made a simply designed card with the cute little penguins

from the Making Every Day Bright stamp set:)

It’s a simple card but to help you out…

here is a video showing how I made the igloo and the snow drifts.
Thanks to Jan B Cards for the inspiration for the igloo:)

*The sentiment comes from the SU Farmhouse Christmas Stamp Set.

SU Farmhouse Christmas

October 13, 2018

I got an awesome card from one of my favorite friends and stampers, Janet Munden.
I was so wowed by her card that I totally cased it!

I was so impressed with Janet’s layout- isn’t that burlap ribbon just so cool?
I thought the Farmhouse Designer Series Paper was a perfect addition, too!

Take a look at the fantastic Farmhouse Christmas Bundle:

That picket fence is so darn cute…I gotta make a card with it to show you…
if I don’t soon, remind me…lol.

SU Still Night with Winter Woods

October 10, 2018

I combined the SU Still Night with the SU Winter Woods Bundles to make this card.
Although the Still Night has Christmas sentiments, I added a Happy Birthday sentiment from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set.

I stamped my owl with Memento black ink on Sahara Sand.
I colored the owl with Light Crumb Cake and Light Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends.
I colored the eyes with a Daffodil Delight Watercolor Pencil.

I was inspired by the card below card on Pinterest- I believe Mary K. Jones made it:)

I used the pine trees in the stamp set instead of the tall trees, and I mounted my Blueberry Bushel on Night of Navy cardstock to
keep the dark night sky as the background. I also stamped and die cut the owl image instead of the other owl in the set.

SU Beautiful Blizzard

October 4, 2018

I hear some people have spotted snow flurries already, can you believe that?
Well, today, all of you are going to see snowflakes…

I used the Beautiful Blizzard Bundle to make this Clean and Simple card that is a “winter” card.
It can be sent as soon as the flurries fly!
It would make a great birthday card or encouragement card, don’t you think?

I designed this card with a larger border around the stamped panel.
The card base front is 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″, the Bermuda Bay is 4″ x 5-1/4″,
then I skipped the next layer (that would be 3-3/4″ x 5″)
and finished it off with the white stamped panel of 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″.

The 4″ x 5″ die is super cool- pun intended. You get a blizzard of snowflakes with a one run through the Big Shot.
