Swirly Scribbles Snowman

As I was flipping through Pinterest one day I came
across a snowman card made by Jessica using the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits,
so I had to give a try myself and it was perfect for my
Christmas in July Fast & Fabulous Cards Class.

I also used the Snow Places stamp set & Snow Friends framelits
(which was one of my favorite sets last year and YAY it's in the catalog again this year).
Swirly Scibbles Snowman1.  Card base — Garden Green — 4 1/4" x 11"
2.  Wild Wasabi — 4" x 5 1/4"
3.  Real Red — 3 3/4" x 5"
4.  This Christmas Specialty Designer Paper – 3 5/8" x 4 7/8"
5.  Real Red scrap — cut out banner using the Project Life Cards & Labels Framelits
I cut the banner out and then ran it through again to make the banner a little shorter.
Stamp Merry Christmas from Snow Places with Memento ink.
6. Whisper White scrap — stamp scarf from Snow Places with Real Red ink
Cut out using the Snow Friends framelits.
7.  Black scrap — cut out the top hat using the Snow Friends framelits.
8.  Whisper White — 3 1/2" x 8 1/2" — cut out all three swirlies from Swirly Scribbles thinlits.
9.  Assemble card as pictures.

Thank you Jessica for the inspiration.

Joyful Nativity

I know that it is July and our temps have been close to
or in the 90’s but I had to do it.
This month’s Fast & Fabulous Cards Class
was Christmas in July.
When the new catalog came out last month
I fell in love with the Joyful Nativity stamp set.
I knew I HAD to have it.
This was the first card I designed for the class.

Check out this new Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate.
There are three different designs in the package
and two sheets of each design. 
One side is Silver and the other side is Gold.
So cool!!!
Joyful Nativity1. Night of Navy card base — 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″.
2. Next a 4″ x 5 1/4″ layer of Whisper White.
3. The Foil Designer Acetate is also 4″ x 5 1/4″.
I attached this layer with Glue Dots under the banner and circles.
4. Layering Circles to cut out Whisper White circle and
Night of Navy Scallop circle.
5. Whisper White banner — 1/2″ x 3 1/4″
Stamp greeting with Night of Navy ink, cut banner ends with Paper Snips.
6. Attach to 3/4″ x 3 1/2″ Night of Navy strip and trim ends.
7.  Stamp Holy Family with VersaMark ink at bottom of Whisper White circle
8.  Sprinkle Silver Embossing Powder and heat with Heat Gun
9.  Stamp Stable with VersaMark over Holy Family and emboss with Silver Embossing Powder.
10. Attach both to acetate with dimensionals
11. Attach acetate to Whisper White layer with adhesive behind the circle and banner.

This was a great way to start some Christmas cards.

Floral Affection

Have you tried the new Floral Affection embossing folders yet?
There are two small folders — one has two daisy type flowers
and this is the other one in the set — such a pretty floral vine.
This card has lots of texture and design for you.
Sending a SmileThe card base is Cajun Craze with a layer of
Very Vanilla that is embossed with the Softly Falling
embossing folder.  I love the copper designer paper
strip down the left side — that is from
Affectionately Yours designer paper pack.

We embossed the floral vine on Very Vanilla
cardstock and stamped the greeting in the
center with Cajun Craze ink.  The greeting
is from Love & Affection stamp set.

By now you should have guessed the
products on this card are all from the
Affectionately Yours Suite (pages 44-45).
I love when everything is coordinated for me.
