Baby, It's Cold Outside Card by November Guest Designer Gladys Marcelino

Happy Monday everyone! Gladys here and I'm back with another holiday card using Frozen Friends stamp set again. This set has several snowman images and I couldn't help but use these two snowman cuddling each other. Aren't they just adorable?

For my background I distressed it with dusty concord and shaded lilac. I blended the inks in an ombre effect, dark at the top and softer gradient towards the bottom of the card panel. I let my panel dry completely then I randomly stamped the snowflakes with VersaMark ink. I poured white embossing powder then heat embossed it with my heat tool until the powder melted. I also heat embossed the sentiment. The snowman were colored with copic markers. Lastly, for embellishments I added the iridescent snowflake sequins which looks really pretty against the purple background.

That is all from me today. I hope you like it. Thanks for reading! Have an awesome Monday!!

Mr and Mrs Wedding Card by Samantha Mann

Watercolor Leaf Wedding Card!

Do you ever make personalized cards for occasions? It really makes them so special for the recipient! That's what Samantha did for this beautiful wedding card! She knew the couple was having purple and orange for their Fall wedding so she created a card especially for them using their wedding colors! How amazing!

For the leaves she used our Beautiful Leaves stamp set, embossing them in white and using orange inks to watercolor them. She also used the coordinating Beautiful Leaves Die Set to trim them out. Then she added the "Mr & "Mrs" from our Years of Cheers stamp set, embossing it in white on vellum! That purple watercolor background is so amazing too! What a stunning card! 

Thank you Samantha for the beautiful card today! To say hello to Samantha and see more of her awesome creations, you can visit Samantha's Blog, Sam's Scrap Candy!

Deck the Halls Foxy Couple Card by Yukari Yoshioka

Foxy Cuddles for Christmas!

Many of our stamp sets can be combined to create cute little scenes! Today Yukari created this wonderful little woodland scene using a couple of our stamp sets! She focused on those cute little snuggling foxes and sweet little trees from our Fox Hollow stamp set and trimmed them out with the coordinating Fox Hollow Die Set. I love the soft neutral grey coloring on the fox couple! Then she framed them out with a fun border and added on a cute little tag! The tag was stamped using the small "deck the halls" sentiment from the Newton's Holiday Mischief stamp set along with the little tag image from the Jolly Tags stamp set. Then she cut it out using the Tags Times Two Die Set. Isn't it so fun how you can mix and match our sets to create custom scenes?

Thanks, Yukari, for the sweet card today! You can head over to Yukari's blog, Handmade by Yuki and see more details about her project - and make sure to say hello!

Merry Christmas Wreath and Stag Card by Naki Rager

Merry Christmas in (almost) all white!

Have you ever tried making a monochromatic Christmas card? This beautiful (alsmost) all white card by Naki is so elegant!  I love how she used the deer head from our  Splendid Stags Die Set and cut it out in white and kraft paper, layering it to show just a little bit of the kraft color! It almost looks like a shadow! She added the deer to the center of a wreath, stamped in brown from our Happy Little Thoughts stamp set and trimmed out with the coordinating Happy Little Thoughts Die Set. she also used the "merry Christmas" sentiment from our new Holiday Tweets stamp set, embossed in gold on vellum! The added little wooden stars and tiny metallic twine really add the perfect finishing touch!

Snowman Card by November Guest Designer Gladys Marcelino

Hello everyone! It's Gladys and I'm back to share a holiday card with you. I used the Frozen Friends stamp set and here's what my card looks like:

I used a watercolor cardstock for my card panel. First I die cut the scallop frame on the center then randomly stamped the small images using Memento tuxedo black ink. I stamped the adorable snowman image onto the circle of the scallop frame then colored all the images with copic markers.

After coloring all the images I decided to watercolor around them with tumbled glass distress ink. I thought there was too much white space so adding the blue really made the images pop. I stamped the sentiment onto a banner die cut and adhered it below the snowman. That completes my card for today.

Thanks for stopping by and I will be back with more so be sure to stop by next week Monday. Have a great week!
