Another Snowman Card….

Here’s a 6″ x 6″ Winter greeting card.  The frame around the snowman was created by spraying ink onto stamping cardstock, but with a small square piece of scrap paper set in the middle to ‘mask’ the area for the snowman.  Then the snowman was stamped and embossed in the middle.  Extra stamping was used […]

What To Do When……

… it’s Decemeber 24th, and someone sent you a card, but you realize you hadn’t sent them one.  This is a simple fix.  Since you don’t want the Holidays to pass by unmarked, just go ahead and send a ‘belated Christmas’ or a “Warm Winter Wishes” card.  It will still arrive during the Holidays, probably […]

Ok - It’s Dec 17th and You Still Have Cards You Want To Make….

Here’s a great solution: Card Fronts! This is the easiest way I know of to make a lot of cards quickly.  A “card front” is simply the decorative front of the card - it is usually a little smaller than the finished card (folded cardstock).  In the cards above, I created 4″ x 6″ card fronts […]

I Love Teal For Winter Cards

This little guy was stamped and then given a good coating of clear embossing powder.  It enhances the color and makes him 3d.  On the envelope, you’ll see the snowflake and then the little space in the middle for the recipient’s name.  This is a 6″ x 6″ card and envelope created from the templates […]

I Call This One “Blue Noel”

This was a very fun card to make.  By using a corner rounder on all of the pieces, it gave the whole card a softer look.  The Noel is a die cut, but I left the center of the snowflake attached, and just pulled up the 6 tips.  Inking the edge of the card front […]
