Snowflake Soiree

I have to admit I was SAD when Serene Snowflakes was retired. I loved the simplicity of the snowflake images BUT then in the Holiday Mini was Snowflake Soiree and my snowflake void was filled!

This lovely card was designed by Josee Smuck, a Canadian demonstrator! I kept her basic design but changed the red and pink for Pool Party and Island Indigo. There's something about blue snowflakes that just feels right.






It's actually not a difficult card to create. It LOOKS complicated but it's quite simple. You can view Josee's video on her blog for details on how to make a "one sheet wonder". 
Can you tell I love the Silver Glimmer Paper? How many projects have I used it on so far? A LOT! The Snowflurry Bigz Die is a quick and easy way to create intricate snowflakes. These ones are just popped up on a dimensional for a quick accent.

Hope you're getting geared up for the big day!

Diggers and Things

I've recently started making kid's birthday cards for a ministry at church. Here's my latest:

 It was inspired by a card I saw on Stampin' Connection by Tiffany Quilter.  

I'm loving how quickly this card came together! Not too involved (since most kids don't spend a whole lot of time oohing over a card) but enough detail that mom (or dad) might take an extra long look!

Enjoy,

Evergreen

I'm loving the Evergreen stamp set from the Holiday Mini catalogue. It makes my heart beat a little faster, especially when I see all the beautiful samples on various blogs!

Here's  a direct CASE from Leena Girsa that I used at my most recent Christmas Stamper's Dozen:



Simple and elegant.

Thanks for looking!

Snow Much Fun!

Snow Much Fun! This is a GREAT winter stamp set. It doesn't have to just be for Christmas. Snowmen are cute all winter long!

This card was a CASE from Andrea Gerstner whom I found on Stampin' Connection (our demonstrator only gallery).





Isn't it cute? I love the snowmen in this stamp set!



Enjoy!
