Winter cards

Welcome to another challenge with The Card Concept! Being the second challenge of the month, we're giving you a choice of two wonderful inspirational images. I picked the Winter Snow theme and used the optional colour palette on my mixed media card. I began with stamping the house image then coloured using distress crayons. After embossing those gorgeous pine branches I sponged over them with white ink then liberally pounced over them with white distress crayon to give it more depth of…

Hi Friends, Today I'm sharing a technique that's been around for a while but never gets old. My friend Lani showed me a gorgeous card she made using the Woodland Embossing Folder and I just had to give it a go! Here's my version: I love the way this turned out and it's so much simpler to make than it looks. Follow along while I explain - these are the basic supplies you'll need: You will be working on the inside of the front of the embossing folder. The front is the side with "Sizzix"…

I got this beautiful snowflake die from Impression Obsession after seeing them on Loll's card. And I very promptly cut some out of white paper. This little piece was left over and tucked aside. I placed it over a piece of Glimmer Paper and I really love the way it turned out. See what you think. As it sits here on my desk it sparkles in the light. I just can't pick up all that sparkle in the photo. The Queen for the Day at SCS this week is LM (aka LM Stamps). These cards made me think of…

Hello and welcome to day one of the Papertrey Ink November release countdown! I have two winter/holiday cards to share with you today using so many fun products from this month's release! I was tempted to play a little Christmas music while working on these cards, but decided to wait just a little bit longer! How about you...have you started listening to Christmas music yet? My first card for today was such a fun one to create; I used the beautiful new Larger Thank Life: Snow die paired with…

Beary Cute Fractured Card Technique, Faux Shutter, Beary Cute

I love the colors today - so many possibilities. A card for one of my grown-up grandsons (they all are!). The saying is,

Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by! Embossed TP? Yep! If you can spare a square, give it a try! My dear and very talented friend Loll led us in this technique a couple of months ago. We took four squares of toilet paper and stacked them, spritzing each layer. Then put them in an embossing folder and run them through. I've spritzed it with some shimmer mist so it has a wonderful shimmer when the light hits it. The cardinal has been cut from red cardstock and I've sponged ink around the…
