A Card a Day in December--Day #28

Well here he is, the cutest little snowman in all the land! Here to wish you a happy 2021! I created this card earlier this month for a card swap and actually had quite a laugh putting him together. This card marks my 28th project share this month! The majority of my shares have been cards but I have snuck a few other things in this month as well, so if you haven’t been following along daily, make sure you go back and see all of my creations!

I used the Snowman Season stamp set for the cute snowman image and the little snowflakes in the background. My cute snowman is colored with Stampin’ Blends in Calypso Coral and Just Jade and the snowflakes are stamped in Seaside Spray. I LOVE this blue! Its just the perfect blue as it coordinates with so many different colors and is such a fantastic way to color glass (think windows) or air elements (think sky and snow) or give highlights to colored shapes and images. I will be sad to see it retire when its turn comes.

2021 is cut from Just Jade card stock with the Playful Alphabet dies and Foam Adhesive sheets…incase you have not noticed, I adore this combo. I think the Foam Adhesive sheets are the TOP product of the Annual Catalogue.

I added a hint of blue behind the snowflakes using the new Blending Brushes which are coming out in the new January to June (or JJ catty).

The ‘Happy’ and ‘Good Luck’ are stamped in Calypso Coral ink from the Art Gallery stamp set—another new release! I thought this card had a whimsical feel with a touch of happy sarcasm to it!

A Card a Day in December--Christmas Eve

Can you believe it is finally here? I really love Christmas and even though this year does look different we are able to still continue some holiday traditions. Of course, sending cards is a big part of the holidays for me, and I took extra care to send out holiday cards to as many people as I could this year and also collected and donated over 360 cards to Meals on Wheels in Edmonton. My card stash is thoroughly depleted which makes my heart so happy!

My 24th card this month to share with you is one I actually made way back in the summer during the pre-order period. One of my favorite things about being a demonstrator is early access to products!

This card features the Flower for Every Season 6x6 DSP stack from the Annual Catalogue. Like the name suggests it has a bunch of different flower prints including this beautiful poinsettia one.

The base of the card is Poppy Parade and I accented the DSP with a Whisper White border.

The poinsettia is stamped and cut with Poppy Parade ink and cardstock using the Poinsettia Petals Bundle. The flower is really brought to life with the Wink of Stella that is flicked over top and the Beaded Pearl in the center.

Happy Holidays is stamped on Blushing Bride card stock in Poppy Parade ink and is from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set. The leaves are on Mint Macaron card stock with Just Jade detailing. I love this gorgeous color combo.

This card is beautiful in person and as much as I wanted to keep it, I did give it away after enjoying it on display in my craft room for a few months. I know who receives it will truly appreciate it too.

Even though tomorrow is the BIG DAY I do have a special project to share with you so I hope you are able to check in. Merry Christmas my friends, near and far!

A Card a Day in December--Day #23

Can you believe we are only 2 days away from Christmas? I do feel like this month went by quickly! And if you are a mom you know that Christmas is like planning a big wedding once a year :)

For my card project today I am sharing a pretty traditional card in the sense of the color scheme. In fact red, white and a bit of green are the holiday colors I use to decorate my house for the holidays.

This card is on a Real Red card stock base and on the first layer I stamped the little mini Christmas trees from the Warm Hugs stamp set and then flicked my Real Red marker over the background. This fills the top of the card base.

The bottom section is embossed with the Wrapped in Texture folder.

I added a strip of Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series paper over top and cut a cute scallop border with the Festive Felt and the Peony Dies.

I stamped the sentiment in Old Olive ink on Pear Pizzaz card stock and layered it with a die from the Warm Wraps dies. The fun touch is the Glittered Star Ornament. I cut off the string and tucked the top part in between the layers so it looks more like an embellishment than a hanging ornament. It was easy to keep attached with the use of a few Glue Dots.

This card is pretty simple which I like because the design of the card can easily be recreated with birthday stamps or Valentine’s Day.

So if you need to make a couple of last minute holiday cards this one will not take you much but has alot of charm to it! I hope you have been inspired this whole month!

A Card a Day in December--Day #21

Is the countdown officially on in your house for Christmas? My kids are counting down and I am pretty much done everything except get my groceries…and putting together my holiday Paper Pumpkin kits! I don’t know why I have procrastinated on them!

I did make a new card for my 21st share today! Have you used the Hostess Stamp set, A Merry Hello, from the Handmade for You catalogue? If not, I hope this project inspires you to pull it off the shelf!

The base of this card is Just Jade, dare I say my favorite of the new In Colors, and a base layer of Whisper White.

I stamped the sentiment, Heartfelt Christmas, in Poppy Parade ink on the end of a 1 1/4 x 4 1/4 inch strip of Whisper White card stock. I then matted the sentiment strip on a piece of Flirty Flamingo card stock.

The adorable stocking is colored in with our Stampin’ Blends in Just Jade. The top of the stocking is stamped with Poppy Parade and Flirty Flamingo,

I die cut two stars from Gold Foil paper using the Stitched Stars die and added some bling with the Holiday Rhinestones.

I love how clean and fresh this Christmas Card feels!

A Card a Day in December--Day #18

While this card doesn’t say Merry Christmas I still feel like it is a holiday card that I would give to a close friend. I love the Snowflake Splendor suite as it has some really unique sentiments in it. I created two versions of this card with different colors. Which one do you like better? I can’t even pick!

Both of the cards are on bases of Pool Party with snowflakes stamped in the same ink color along the bottom.

I added a small strip of DSP from the Snowflake Splendor collection and then changed up the snowflake colors on each card. So one card leans more purple and the other more blue tones.

The ribbon is the Pool Party Sheer Ribbon from the Annual Catalogue. I love this ribbon and have gone through a couple of rolls already. I added some bling to the middle of a few snowflakes with the Elegant Faceted Gems.

If you live in Canada please feel free to shop with me! I would love to support you in your crafting needs and make a new friend across the county!
