Let it Snow with Reindeers and Sparkles

Once again, another Christmas card but with lots of Snow and white. Joining again over at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge with Let it Snow theme. Plus, I've been wanting to create an almost white card and I think I finally got it plus I got to pull out my vellum.

Here you go:

Also using these cute little reindeers from the Reindeer Games along with another favorite of mine, Storybook 2 from Pretty Pink Posh and love to reach for it when creating little scenes. If your wondering which die the glitter is, it's the negative cut from the new exclusive Scallop Frames.

Basically, I ran both dies together through the die cut machine to see what shapes I would get. You can seperate the dies and cut individually, but I was experimenting to see what shapes come out.

After seperating the die cut pieces, I ended up with all four of these. Normally, I don't use the negative piece (piece left over after you die cut an image) and many times throw it out, but I couldn't resist to use as I love the shape. 

I used Shimmering Pearl White cardstock when I die cut the Storybook 2 die to add a little shimmer to the card. Also, die cut some Mini Snowflakes which are a perfect size for little scenes. 

Last but not least, added some shinning 4 m clear sequins, marshmallow seed beads, and silver shimmer seed beads to sparkle and shake things up.

The sentiment is from the set: Mini Messages from Mama Elephant. If you want to see my previous card using the large scallop frame for click here and the smaller frame you can click here. 

As always, if you haven't checked out the challenge, please stop over to check out all the inspiration.

Seasons Greetings To All

I'm back with another Christmas card and wanted to join the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge with Let it Snow theme. Also, using this reindeer from the Reindeer Games set once again. I spent some time duplicating my last card to send out and build on my stash. Most of the time, I like to make each one different, but a few designs I'll mass produce.  

Here is my card:

As you know, I'm in love with this ...Storybook 1 die from  Pretty Pink Posh and always find myself using it quite often as you can create so many different scences with it. Started off with Electric Red card stock and blueprints 15 for my base and went on to shake things up.

Another favorite of mine is this new exclusive Scallop Frames die, one being large and the other being smaller. I realized the smaller one is a perfect fit over the Storybook 1 die which I die cut using silver glitter card stock.

Next, I used Tumbled glass distress ink to create the background sky and added Forest Border from Lawn Fawn. Colored in just the trees with YG17 to make them a little darker. Also, die cut some Mini Snowflakes. The fun part was adding in all those colorful sequins from the  4m and 6m Holly Jolly sequin mix.

For the sentiment, I used the white embossing powder along with the set: Christmas Scene. Loving the font and all the sparkles. As always, if you haven't checked out the challenge, please stop over to check out all the inspiration.

Merry Monday #180 - Festive Holiday Wishes

It's the time for making Christmas cards and couldn't resist but playing over at Merry Monday #180 with the challenge of using reindeer on it. Plus it gives me a chance to get moving on building my Christmas card stash. 

Here is my card:

I'm in love with these reindeer's from the Reindeer Games stamp set of Mama Elephant with all of the accessories and fun poses. Plus, I adore this exclusive Scallop Frames die from Pretty Pink Posh's latest release so I had to pull out some silver glitter cardstock and use it.

To create the scene, I die cut the hills first using Landscape Trio (mama elephant) and the cloud piece was from the Puffy Cloud Border (lawn fawn) where I sponged on a little ink (Sea Glass - SSS). to all three hills.

For the sky, I sponged more ink, Duckling and Cotton Candy from (SSS) since I love how these inks work for blending. Added some Mini Snowflakes from Lawn Fawn along with stamping the sentiment from the Jingle Greetings set.

Colored the reindeers and accessories with my copics and added in some Winter Snow Mix sequins from Pretty Pink Posh since I wanted to shake things up a little. Do you love making shakers?

Wishing you Sunny Days with Little Critters

Here is another card I created to let one of my friends know I'm thinking of them and to wish better days ahead. Also using these adorable little critters again from the Holiday Pals where I can't get enough of them. 

Here is my card:

For the background, I created the sky and grass with inks and blending tool where I than die cut using the squares from the Stitched Duo 3  keeping the same order of the cut to keep the scene. Than, I couldn't resist but to add these cute bows on each of them.

Aren't these little umbrellas cute? They are from the new Rainy Days stamp set along with the clouds that you can add smiley faces to. So many ideas come to mind, but for now, this card is to wish better days ahead and thought this would be perfect. 

Here I popped up the umbrellas to add a little dimension. I must say, I'm loving the new Pretty Pink Posh release with these stamps.

Added these adorable new 4m Holly Jolly sequin mix to shake things up along with the Falling Snow stencil (SSS) to add some texture to the background. Lastly, couldn't resist but to use the Twines and Bow die which I cut using white and silver glitter cardstock. 

Here is my second card:

For this card, I combined Holiday Pals with the Rainy Days stamp set as I couldn't resist but to use these clouds to help me with the winter sky scene. Just love how there are so many accesories to these stamp sets with bows, little hats, presents, and more. Not just for holidays

Colored these adorable little critters using my copics and popped up this little cute kitten using some foam mount. The sentiment was embossed and added some prisma glitter to the trees.

Wishing You Sunshine!

Since November is a month of spreading kindness to others, I thought I would create a card to cheer someone up so I decided to use these new adorable stamp sets from Pretty Pink Posh from her latest November release. Hopefully the recepient enjoys the card and surprise I'm sending. 

Here is my card:

For this card, I combined Holiday Pals with the Rainy Days stamp set. For the umbrella, I die cut the largest one and colored it using my copic markers. Than, I added some polka dots with my white sharpie marker. So many ideas come to mind using this set, but wanted to create a card to cheer someone up. 

Plus, it gave me a chance to use this adorable Stitched Photo Frame and Holly Jolly sequin mix where I added both 4m and 6m sizes. For final touch, added these 4m and 6m Clear Droplets.

I'm loving these stamps, dies, and sequins, so I hope in sending this card, it will cheer her up. Also, looking forward to seeing more inspiration from Pretty Pink Posh's Blog hop that is scheduled to go live on Thursday Nov 12th & Friday Nov 13th. Check out her facebook blog hop event by clicking here. 

As you can tell, I love creating shakers, playing with sequins, dies, and stamps. Have fun!
