NEW Release from Simon Says Stamp! I received the NEW Snowflake Stencil and made a clean and simple mini slimline card. This one turned out to be 3 ¼ in x 6 ⅜ in.
I sprayed the stencil with Pixie Spray glue, adhered it to Canson Smooth Bristol cardstock and inked with Distress Oxide stamp pads and blending brushes. Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers and Mermaid lagoon.
Let it Snow is a newer die from Memory Box, Let it Snow Posh Script, both layers cut from heavy white cardstock. I mounted it to the panel with pieces of mounting tape.
I embellished the snowflakes with Memory Box Clear, self adhesive Fairy Drops.
I love these pretty, sparkly, Winter colors!
I stamped the inside with a newer sentiment clear stamp set from poppystamps, Wintertime Sentiments with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink. Some really fun sentiments in this set. “Thanks for Snow much fun”, “Happy Winter Wishes to you”, Warm and cozy Winter greetings”, “You are One of a kind”, “Tis the Season to be freezin'”, “The world changes when it Snows”, and more!
I’ll leave you with one more sentiment from this wonderful stamp set… “Friends warm even the coldest of days”. I agree! Thank you for stopping by!
Here’s what I used to make this card…(SSS code for $5 off – LVEYU842 – ends 3/1)
Hi everyone! I don’t know which one to start with! Lots of pictures so I better just get to it!
We all love snowmen, right? This one is sooooo CUTE!
I think I’m going to have to make a video to show what I used on each one…
I used the House Frame die, the House Frame Background die and the Snowman House Frame die.
Simple Distress Oxide backgound using my blue and purple brushes…I didn’t even add any extra ink! Then a quick spritz of water.
The trees I used my green Distress oxide brush….no extra ink.
These will be so fun hanging on the Christmas tree or if I can part with them, on a present!
Here’s the Nativity House Frame… new navy glitter cardstock from the NEW Festive Glitter 6×6 Pad.
The House and tree are cut from MB woodgrain cardstock and inked with Gathered Twigs Distress ink.
I used the House Frame, the Nativity House Frame and the House Frame Background dies for this ornament.
I love the simplicity of this and want to make more! A great reminder that Jesus is the reason for the season!
Next up is the Gingerbread House Frame….. so cute!
Gingerbread…a must have for Christmas! So many adorable pieces to embellish this cute house!
I used the House Frame, the Gingerbread House Frame and the House Frame Background dies to make this one.
MB woodgrain cardstock again, inked with Gathered Twigs distress ink. The gum drops and peppermint glitter is from the new Festive glitter pad and last years Holiday glitter pad.
Last, I thought it’d be fun to make a birdhouse from the House Frame Background die! I made it a tag. I think I’ll still hang it on the tree as an ornament though.
I used some elements from the Gingerbread House Frame die also.
I heat embossed the word JOY from the NEW Birch Press Design Contempo Christmas Greetings stamp set.
It needed some green! So I cut the NEW Curled Holly Branch from the Fresh Green 6×6 cardstock pad and embellished the berries with Nuvo drops.
I felt like it needed a bird. lol I couldn’t get it to work to suit me though so I put the bird I made on the back!
He is from the MB Perched Bird die… just brushed on ink with my oxide ink brushes again. I love how that works and so fast…who knew that an inky brush could be so handy! lol
These aren’t as big as they look in my pictures… they are approximately 3 ½ in. wide and 3 ½ in. tall. Perfect ornament size!
Editing and adding this video…watch it on You Tube for better quality!
Whew… did you make it through this long post! I almost didn’t! lol I kept taking pictures over! My computer desktop is a mess of pictures! lol
But I love making so I keep doing this! haha We’ll inspire each other to get in the Christmas spirit!

Hi everybody! Working through the Memory Box release…. thinking of you and I had to use this Vitamin Sea sentiment again! Many of you know me and I’m a vitamin C user! hehe
I started by inking a mini slim line panel with Tumbled Glass oxide ink, lightly marked where the circles were with a pencil, then stamped the school of fish stamp from the Deep Blue Ocean stamp set randomly over the larger circles. Then I stamped the ocean greenery images from the same set in dark greens.
Then I covered the panel with a piece of vellum…like you’re looking through glass…
I inked the top panel with Oxide inks, Salty Ocean and my Peacock Feathers brush without adding more ink. Spattered it with water.
Let it dry, then stamp the sentiments from the set using the MISTI and Ranger Archival Black ink.
I colored and die cut the cute little fishy with Copic markers but then I decided I didn’t like the white around it so I fussy cut it and mounted it on the panel with mounting tape.
On the inside I stamped the Feel Better Soon stamp from the set.
This is a great set… it can go for any occasion with the variety of sentiments! Birthday, Just Because, Sympathy and get well!
Thanks for stopping by on this beautiful how can it be the end of August day!!!
Meet me at the fishin’ hole! It’s a beautiful day! lol Here’s the card I made for our grandson Corrin who just turned 12! He loves to fish with Grandpa!
I saved this idea from Instagram/designs by mommajean when I saw it last year. So much fun! I made the video after I gave it to Corrin and he showed me that it looked like the fish were swimming when you bend it back and forth! ❤
I didn’t have a shadowbox die set that would work for what I wanted to do so I had to make this up as I went. No instructions, just some Math! lol
Stamps and dies from Hello Bluebird, Memory Box and Lawn Fawn. I’ll link below.
I stamped, die cut the images and colored with Copic Sketch markers. Since alcohol marker ink saturates through to the back side, I die cut a piece of white cardstock to glue behind the colored images.
Bushes and grass dies in the background from Hello Bluebird…
I took a lot of pictures!
Memory Box dies for the greens and coral in the water…
I used a piece of acetate to cover the opening…
Distress Oxide inks for the blues and sandy shore…
Corrin really liked it and the money in the envelope too! lol
