How about a festive card today with the NEW Detail Bohemian Plate from Simon Says Stamp’s DieCember release! It was hard to cover up the pretty design but I think you can still see it.
A scrap of Memory Box plaid paper for accent… Memory Box Forest Pine Branch and Mistletoe Bundle for the focal points. The sentiment is from the poppystamps Christmas Greetings stamp set.

As I started thinking about making up this snowman, I knew I wanted to use plaid! Snowmen always melt my heart. ❤
I started with the new Memory Box Charming Snowman Collage and die cut it three times in white cardstock. I colored the top snowman layer with Copic Sketch markers and added a little white gel pen. I glued the three snowman outlines together and inlaid them back into just one of the panels that I die cut with Memory Box Rectangle Basics set. His nose is three layers of the carrot cut. The eyes are colored in with a black glaze pen.
I hope the picture explains it better than I did with words! 😀
I die cut the Memory Box Pointy Pine Needle Sprigs from TE cardstock for the bottom left corner.
I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from poppystamps Christmas Quotes stamp set and coordinating die.
The plaid and dot papers are from Memory Box. I’ll link everything below. Holler if I forgot anything!
How is your Christmas card creating coming a long? hehe Hard to believe it’s almost Thanksgiving! Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone! I have a card to share today using some of the new dies from the newest Memory Box release. I tried to achieve a tunnel card look but thinner! hehe I kinda succeeded.
Next time I think I need to add another ¼ inch crease on each side though. Here’s a picture of the fold I used.
This piece is 5 ¾ inches wide, 5 ½ inches tall. Next time I make it, I’m going to make it 6 ¼ inches wide. This 5 ¾ in. piece has 3 ¼ in. scores, then it’s 4¼ in. then 3 more ¼ in. scores.
For 6 ¼ inches wide, you would have 4 ¼ inch scores, then 4¼ in. and 4 more ¼ in. scores. I hope this makes sense…I will keep you posted it how it works!
Here’s what the ends look like. A2 size.
I glued the panels to the folds and the top Pine Tree Collage die cut glues on top of the last ¼ in. fold on both sides.
I used the snowmen from the Snowmen and cloud from the Snowmen Snowglobe die.
Aren’t the cute! I used Sakura Black and White glaze pens to embellish them and the green, red and brown are Copic markers.
The blue background is Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide ink that I brushed on with TE blending brushes. Spattered with water, white and black acrylic inks
Season’s Greetings message is from the new Christmas Greetings stamp set. So many neat sentiments and varying sizes too in this set.
That’s it for today…thank you all so much for your cards and emails and comments. I had no idea how much family and friends carry you when you’re suffering. I appreciate it. Makes me teary talking about it and I know if you were here you’d cry with me! ❤

Hi everyone! Whew, I’m slow editing pictures and getting a post written! I had these two cards made before Breanna passed away. Thank you all so much for your kind comments, cards and emails. Your expressions of sympathy and prayers mean so much! I had no idea and I wish I still had no idea! It still doesn’t feel real or believable. The sorrow comes in waves and at times it feels like my heart is being squeezed. All I know to do is carry on…love harder, appreciate more and be thankful to God for the time we do have together!
I had fun using this new poppystamps Stained Glass Poinsettia die two ways. This card is the die cut four times. One time I made sure the pieces stayed intact and colored the flower petals and rays with Copic Sketch Markers. Then I glued the other three frames on top and filled them with Ranger Glossy Accents. Very fun! My fingers got a little tired of squeezing the little bottle. I couldn’t find my big bottle. lol
I stamped a background panel with one of the stamps from the new poppystamps Joyous Christmas Wishes sentiment set. I really ❤ this set.
Then the JOY oval is from the new Memory Box stamp set and die set Spirit of Christmas. Another fabulous set for images to color and sentiments!
Both cards are A2 size.
This one I used the new Holiday Glitter 6×6 cardstock pad and the new Christmas Plaid 6×6 paper pad.
I die cut the new Stained Glass Pinsettia die in metallic gold cardstock, covered the back with scor-tape, then pieced in the petals and rays that I cut in the glitter pad cardstocks.
Memory Box Merry Christmas Noted Script die for the sentiment on this one. I die cut it twice and glued together. I didn’t want it to be too thick.
I die cut the poppystamps Pointed Rectangle Frames in metallic gold to frame the front.
I have a package of these gold ‘things’, like 3 sizes in the pack. I used one for the center of the poinsettia. I think either of the gold cardstocks would work too. I almost left it red!
That’s it for me today… let me know if you have any questions. My brain feels cobweb – y!
I have felt your ❤ felt prayers and appreciate it so much!

Happy World Cardmaking day to all my cardmaking friends and paper crafters!
My last post inspired me to attempt to turn the same dies into a tunnel, diorama, shadow box card that collapses and is mailable!
So here’s the video, click this link to watch it in High Definition which is so much better! And I did get the tree glued back together and you can’t even tell! YAY! lol
I tried to get pictures of the sparkle but it’s really hard to capture glitter paper and do it justice. You’ll just have to believe me on how beautiful this cardstock is! ❤
Here I held it under the light trying to show how light shines down through it…
Thank you for clicking over today! It’s raining here…a good day to stay inside and play with stamps, dies and paper!
Holler if you have any questions.
Here’s what I used to make this card…
