I changed things up a bit for this week's Stamp with Me Live FB video and made these big beautiful Snowflakes! Guess what they're made from? Paper bags!
I found some white glossy ones at a party store. They measure 3" X 6 1/2" and 5" X 9" in size. You need 8 of them.
Depending on the size of your paper bag your finished snowflake can be anywhere from 13" to 18" across! Watch the FB Live replay video below to catch the tips on making them.
Look at this incredible framed sampler my Team made!
My Flowerbug's Team tend to swap almost every month and in November we chose to do a Winter themed sampler featuring the colors in the Snowflake Splendor designer series paper. There were more than I could fit in one frame (approximately 11" X 17") so I'll use the others for cards or scrapbooking.
I have to point out this super creative snowman Margo made using circle dies and snowflakes. She clear embossed snowflakes on Vellum under the two circles!
I am not going to go into detail on each of these elements except to brag on the talent they shared! I LOVE swapping with my Flowerbugs!
December Ordering Special:
Year End Closeout happening now! Click here for amazing deals on retiring Holiday products.
Have you wanted to make a shaker card but didn't want to deal with the Foam Adhesive and window sheets? Well I have a solution for you! Use a clear envelope! Yes; it works beautifully!
I used one of the Wonder of the Season cards, cutting it down to 4" X 5 1/4" and adding another layered strip. I then inserted it into one of our clear envelopes (seen here) and folded the excess to the back, securing it with Tear & Tape. Then I added some Sequins for Everything and sealed it up. It's adhered to a Real Red card base and the greeting is adhered to the front.
The stamps are from the Tag Buffet stamp set.
You can watch how I did this in the video below; it's one of the first projects.
In the video I also shared the Wonder of the Season Memories & More projects. These cards are beautiful and filled with gold & red foil accents. I love these because they are super quick & easy! All I added were some Red rhinestones! No stamping or extra card stock!
Here are a few I made:
Remember I only used three products on these! All you need are the cards (seen here) and the cards & envelopes (seen here)and Red Rhinestones.
You can use the 3 X 4" cards for the pretty card bases so the foil accents show. Or flip the front to the inside and use the larger 4" X 6" cards on the front. This way you can still see that pretty foil on the inside!
Watch the video below to see these projects & more!
Look at these fun and unique cards made with the Stitched Triangle dies!
Aren't they neat? Our Stitched dies are quite versatile and can be used in a variety of ways as you can see!
I used the Well Said stamp set, Well Written & Stitched Triangle dies. The DSP is 5 1/4" X 4" and the Vellum ¾" X 4”
These cards were created on last week's FB Live video. If you're not following me yet here's the link to my FB page. Be sure to like & follow so you catch them every week on Tuesdays at 11 am CT.
Check out the Stitched Rectangle cards below. I cut all of the Playful Patterns Designer Paper layers at the same time using just 2 dies.
How did I do it? Start out with a piece measuring 5 1/4" X 4" and choose the 3rd & 6th dies from the outside. Perfect layers!
I then layered the Designer Paper with card stock and added a die-cut greeting from the Best Year stamp set.

I realized I hadn't shared these pretty fun fold cards made with the Poinsettia Petals suite. They were made during my Stamp with Me Live last month. You can watch in the video below.
Isn't it pretty? I used the Poinsettia Place designer paper and the Poinsettia Petals bundle plus Metallic pearls & the All the Trimmings ribbon combo as well as the Vanilla/Gold ribbon.

I bet this year many of us will be giving gift cards more than ever. This social distancing is hard but during the Holiday's it's going to be so tough! If you are missing celebrating with your family this year I feel for you. Holidays are meant to be enjoyed together. But if it keeps us and them safe I'm sure it's the right decision. But we don't have to like it, right?!
Here's a fun gift card holder you can make to give those gift cards in.

On my Stamp with Me Live I shared these cards and how easy it is to make an explosion card.
These cards look pretty ordinary from the front but there's a surprise inside; see below:
Isn't it cool? And it's super easy to do. It's a 6" square of designer paper that you fold in halves with a bone folder. No measuring at all!
Here's the template for the explosion card.
Here's a masculine birthday made with the Plaid Tidings designer paper and Many Mates stamp set.
These are so fun to make. And you can add a bit more fun to the card by adding in some confetti, punched pieces or sequins to the inside. What a surprise they'll enjoy!
