Freezing Fun Stamp Set

 

I know it's a little early for Winter cards, but I couldn't wait to play around with the Freezing Fun stamp set.  I love the cute little animals having fun in the snow.

I made this card of a penguin throwing snowballs for a card swap that I am in.  

The base of this card is Pool Party.  I used Stampin' Blends in Pool Party and Shaded Spruce to color in the tree and scarf.  The penguin is Dark Smoky Slate.  

What doesn't show well in the photos is the added Shimmery Crystal Effects that I added to the snow on the tree and the snowballs.  The Shimmery Crystal Effects give some added dimension to the snow and a nice sparkle. 

The sentiment is perfect for these times we are in, I wish I was able to have more fun together with my friends, but for now, I will keep sending happy mail and spreading the love that way :)   I made a video for this card, check it out! 


I wasn't sure if I liked the Pool Party hat and scarf or if it needed more color, so I made another version using Poppy Parade to match the heart.   This photo shows the inside of the card as well.

There are coordinating dies to cut out the images, as well as an additional heart, stars and landscape dies.

Here are some more cute cards from the catalog!   I hope you enjoy this stamp set. Click on any of the products in the supply list below to go right to my online store to shop.

Beautiful Autumn Stamp set and punches

                                                                                                                    

 Anytime a stamp set has a matching paper punch, I am unable to resist.  The Beautiful Autumn bundle was no exception, I bought it on my first order from the new Fall/Holiday catalog.  I love fall, so the leaves and papers in the Gilded Autumn suite are exactly the sort of products I enjoy using this time of year.   

I made this card by first making a mask with a Heart shaped die from the Stitched Be Mine dies and a post it note. I then used my post it note heart as a stencil to sponge the background of the card in Cajun Craze.  Before removing the stencil I also stamped the small leaves. 

I stamped the small leaves and acorns on scraps of Cajun Craze, Mint Macaron and Crumb Cake. Some of them I embossed in Gold. I punched them all out with the Autumn Punch Pack. 

I used the Gilded Autumn Designer series paper for the strips, and some linen thread for a bow. 

 

I made a short video on this card so that you can see a 'Step by Step'  Check it out! 

 

I hope that you like this technique, it would work with so many stamps and die shapes. 

Here is another version using a circle die from the Circle Shapes Dies Collection. 

 

 















The Samples from the catalog really show the whole Gilded Autumn Suite well.   Take a look at how they have used the papers and dies on these projects.  These products can be used for Thanksgiving table decor or any of your fall themed projects.

You may still use a demonstrators host/hostess code with your order if you do that each time you order. You can do this by using the Find a Demonstrator link at the top of the page or when you are checking out.
