Make beautiful scenes with Snow Front!

The Snow Front stamp set makes scene building quick and easy!  See it here. My gals made this card at my Holiday Catalog open house a few weeks ago.  

I chose to use Shaded Spruce and Soft Suede here.  Well there is a touch of Smoky Slate and Real Red too.  The stamped layer is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" and the Shaded Spruce layer is 3 5/8" X 4 7/8".

When building a scene like this one I recommend starting in the center of your card with the land or horizon.  Then stamp up or down from there.  I did use a mask on the cabin, stamping that before the trees so it would appear in the foreground.  The 'path' is stamped off first in Smoky Slate ink. 

After the card was done, we used a bit of our new Shimmery Crystal Effects for snow and sprinkled that with Ice glitter.  

This Snow Front stamp set (seen here) is one of my top favorites in the Holiday Catalog so I'm offing a free tutorial in September using this hostess code.  See details below.

The tutorial has 10 cards with full directions and you also receive my exclusive videos that show exactly how to make these pretty cards.

Apple & Pumpkin treat boxes

You can make some CUTE and quick treat boxes with the Apple Builder punch! 

I created these on my weekly Facebook Live two weeks ago on September 3rd.  You can see the videos here. Scroll down to September 3rd's video.

I stamped and punched two apples AND two pumpkins with leaves and stems.  Then I created the box to sandwich each pair.  The boxes are made from 3 X 3" pieces of card stock. Score them at 3/4" or 1" on each side and cut two sides to form a box. 

 Here's the Harvest Hello bundle that has both the stamp set and the Apple Builder punch in it at a 10% discount. 

The apple in the Harvest Hellos Stamp Set is fun to use for teacher or student gifts. Then, like the autumn colors shifting from red to orange, the apple becomes a pumpkin with a spooky face! The punch is about 2 1/2" in size.

So Many Stars meets Noble Peacock Foil paper!

I decided to use the So Many Stars bundle (seen here) for my Flowerbug's Team swap this weekend.  I absolutely love the Stitched Stars dies and how they 'stitch' inside AND out! 

You might wonder how I did this....   I first cut the stars from the 4" X 5 1/4" White card stock. creating 'windows'.  Then I cut a bunch of Noble Peacock foil stars (seen here) to fit in the windows.  I adhered the White window layer to my main White card made from our Thick Whisper White card stock. Then I added Multipurpose liquid glue in the 'windows' and added the foil star die-cuts. 

I did not insert the tiny star die-cuts.  For those I added a piece of the Foil paper behind the window. They are so small I didn't want to fuss with them.  This card is easy though! 

You might remember this Birthday card I shared last week. That was my inspiration for this Christmas card.

Boo To You Halloween card

Here's a cute card Jane made with the Boo To You stamp set in the Holiday catalog.  This was her card swap for our Flowerbug's Team swap this weekend.   

She used the new Monster Bash designer series paper seen here.  Love her fun colors of Gorgeous Grape, Crushed Curry, Basic Gray, Black and a bit of Old Olive.  She created her own background with the 'Boo stamp'.  Sometimes we forget to make our own background paper!  She did fussy cut him but that sure makes him pop!  

Are you in the 'I love to fussy cut' group or are  you absolutely out of that one?  Some people love it and others really do NOT! 

This photo doesn't do it justice but she added one of our new Assorted Googly Eyes to him.  Love it!
