  • Jaycee’s Infinity Shakers

    Jaycee’s Infinity Shakers

    I started by stamping the larger animals from Simon Hurley’s Woodland Wildlife Stamp Set on watercolor paper with Distress Oxide in Antique Linen.

  • Festival of Lights

    Festival of Lights

    I created this card for an Instagram hop on the theme Festival of Lights. It was meant to be about Hanukkah, but I decided to take the name literally this time.

  • Tinsel Tangle

    Tinsel Tangle

    I dragged the edges across my Versamark embossing ink pad and dipped them in the gold embossing powder. After heat setting it, the panel had a grungy gold edge.

  • Washi Fun Fold

    Washi Fun Fold

    All Pinkfresh Washi Tapes are the same size. So you can use any washi for this card!

  • Made With Snowflakes

    Made With Snowflakes

    My vellum strip was longer than the card panel width, so I bent the edges around the panel and attached them with double-sided tape.

  • Pink Magic

    Pink Magic

    I stitched the circle and reindeer nose with three strands of pink variegated floss. The circle segments I stitched with 2 strands of white embroidery floss.

  • Santa’s Helpers

    Santa’s Helpers

    The frame I used is Kat Scrappiness Essential Card Builders #3. It creates four rectangular spaces, two small ones and two tall ones. Perfect for staging critters!

  • Reindeer Greetings

    Reindeer Greetings

    Finally I tripled the sentiment and popped it up on some foam tape. That was necessary to bring it to the same level as the deer.

  • So Many Reindeer

    So Many Reindeer

    I started by stamping all the reindeer from Kat Scrappiness Reindeer Games Stamp Set on watercolor paper. I watercolored them with mostly earth tones.

  • Cheerful Kitty

    Cheerful Kitty

    My grey kitty is from Bibi Cameron’s Cheerful Kittens Die Set by Spellbinders. You can find an introduction to the die set in a previous post.

  • Silver & Gold

    Silver & Gold

    The background includes three visible layers of cardstock. I felt that this card needed both gold and silver mattes.

  • Sparkling Santa

    Sparkling Santa

    This is the second time I’m using Sizzix Tim Holtz Santa Greetings Die Set. This time I went high contrast with it.

  • Holiday Envelope

    Holiday Envelope

    I like it because I can place a letter-sized piece of cardstock on my extended plates, plonk the three main envelope dies and then I have all the bits for my envelope in a few seconds.

  • Pinkfresh Poinsettia

    Pinkfresh Poinsettia

    I started by stamping and heat embossing the big Poinsettia stamp set twice: once with gold embossing powder on Hammermill and once with Distress Embossing Glaze in Speckled Egg on vellum.

  • Folk Snowflake

  • Kat Scrappiness Christmas Lantern

    One thing I love about Kat Scrappiness is that she has lots of shaker dies! This older Christmas Lantern is one of them.

    This year I’m co-hosting an Instagram hop using the Spellbinders Stitchmas Advent Calendar. We’re hopping on even days, starting on December 2nd.

  • Merry Giveaway Cards

    Merry Giveaway Cards

    I cut out the A2 Cover Die from an old background. The background was stamped with a Taylored Expressions background stamp and heat embossed in light blue.

  • California Santa

    California Santa

    I want my Santa to sit at the bottom of an A2 card with the sentiment above him. It’s a pretty big sentiment, so it’s important to plan out my card.

  • Oval Holiday Shaker

    Oval Holiday Shaker

    I cut the oval base layer three times from red foil cardstock and once from clear acetate. Next I cut the oval frame three times from red glitter foam.

  • Stitchmas: Day 5 – 8

    Stitchmas: Day 5 – 8

    I cut the star background from Hammermill Cardstock and the segments from Recollections Gold Foil Cardstock.

  • A Slimline Christmas

    A Slimline Christmas

    I had a dual purpose for these cards. I needed to create a card with an old kit or subscription for an Instagram hop and I needed sample cards for my next giveaway.

  • Stitchmas: Day 1 – 4

    Stitchmas: Day 1 – 4

    My plan was to create round ornaments with my stitched die cuts, using wooden coasters as my base. I started by painting the edges with gold paint.

  • November Pinkfresh Challenge: Floral Bauble

    November Pinkfresh Challenge: Floral Bauble

    I heat embossed the images and sentiment in Ranger Super Fine Gold Embossing Powder. Then I used the layering stencils with the challenge colors.
