December Tutorial: Snowflake Wishes Bundle

Tomorrow is December 1, which means it is time to announce my December tutorial.  For December, I am featuring the Snowflake Wishes Bundle.  This bundle contains the Snowflake Wishes set and the So Many Snowflakes Dies.  With multiple designs of snowflakes, and several different sentiments, you will find lots of uses for this bundle.  

When you place an order on my website using the hostess code D6EP3TWH in the month of December, I will send you my tutorial featuring six cards using the Snowflake Wishes bundle for free.  If your order is over $150, please don't use the hostess code so you can keep the Stampin' Rewards for yourself.  I will send you the tutorial automatically.  You can also purchase past tutorials by clicking here

Happy stamping!

Learn to Stamp: Shimmery Crystal Effects

Materials:

Stamps: Snowman Season

Ink: Seaside Spray, Misty Moonlight and Memento Black

Card stock:

    Real Red - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and 5 1/4" x 1"

    Seaside Spray - 5 1/4" x 4"

    Whisper White - 5 1/4" x 2" and 2 1/2" x 2 1/2"

    Smoky Slate - 3" x 4"

    Thick Whisper White - 2" x 2 1/2"

    Early Espresso - scraps

Accessories: Tasteful Labels Dies, Winter Snow Folder, Snowman Builder Punch, Pumpkin Pie Dark Blends, Shimmery Crystal Effects and Stampin' Dimensionals

In today's Learn to Stamp video, I'm showing you how to use the Shimmery Crystal Effects:

Sometimes you just want to add a little sparkle to your cards, and the Shimmery Crystal Effects can be a fun way to do that.  On this card, I used the Shimmery Crystal Effects on the snowman and also in the centers of all the snowflakes on the piece that I embossed.  Depending on how thick you apply the Crystal Effects, it does take some time to dry.  I would put the entire card together first and add the Crystal Effects last.  I also chose to use the Thick Whisper White card stock for the snowman.  Not only does it make him stand out just a bit more, but it is a bit sturdier for the amount of crystal effects I added.

November Paper Pumpkin: Jolly Gingerbread

How much fun are these projects from the November Paper Pumpkin kit?  This month's kit makes gift card holders which is what I did with the top two, but you an also turn them into gift tags, which is how I did the bottom one.  To create the tag, I simply cut the gift card holder in half. So stinkin' cute!

You can subscribe to Paper Pumpkin for only $22 a month (plus tax).  The kit will ship automatically, and it includes everything you need to create that month's projects, including an exclusive stamp set.  Next month's kit, Beary Comforting, will help you send special wishes to those you love, even when you can't be together.  Subscribe by December 10 to make sure you don't miss the next kit.

In today's Minute to Make It video, I'm showing you how to make this fun pumpkin Thanksgiving card:

 

Ever since I saw the Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper, I wanted to make a card that would show off the beautiful pumpkins in this paper.  I finally sat down a couple of weeks ago, and that was the first paper I pulled out.  There is just something about pumpkins in the fall.  I know, I know, some of you are thinking there is pumpkin overload, but I'm firmly in the there-is-no-such-thing camp.

Tasteful Touches Hello Card

Materials:

Stamps: Tasteful Touches

Ink: Mossy Meadow and Memento Black

Card stock:

    Basic Gray - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"

    In Good Taste Designer Series Paper - 5 1/4" x 4" and 1 1/2" x 4"

    Whisper White - 2 1/2" x 4" and 2 1/2" x 2 1/2"

Accessories: Tasteful Labels Dies, Highland Heather Light and Dark, Daffodil Delight Dark, Poppy Parade Dark, Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon, and Stampin' Dimensionals

 

 

 

I thought I would take a brief break from fall and Christmas cards to share a card I did this summer featuring the Tasteful Touches bundle and the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper designed by my friend Kathy.  I have found so many uses for the In Good Taste paper, and it is particularly fun to combine patterns like I did in this card.  I'm also really enjoying the Tasteful Labels dies.  They are probably the one set of dies I reach for the most.  I'm honestly not sure where the heart came from.  It's an epoxy heart, and I know I colored it with the Stampin' Blends, but I can't find them in the catalog, so they may be retired.

In today's Learn to Stamp Video, I'm showing you how to make this fun fold card featuring the Autumn Goodness bundle:

 

 

 

 

There's just something about a fun fold card, isn't there?  I'm not even sure what this style is called, but it it is super easy to make and gives the card a lot of interest.  It is basically two pieces of card stock folded over each other.  You can do anything to the front flap, but in this case, I chose to use the Gilded Autumn Designer Series Specialty Paper.  The embossing on that paper adds a beautiful shine to this card.
