Spirited Snowmen Update

Yesterday I showed how to make a simple beautiful card with just one stamp set. In today’s card I added other materials to change it up. I used Festive Farmhouse DSP from the Holiday catalog , Pretty Pines Framelits  (annual catalog) and a shape thinlet I have that’s retired.
Materials:
Whisper White cardstock cut at51/2 fold in half this will make two card bases.
4 x 5 1/4 piece of Festive Farmhouse DSP for mat

Scrap of red and green for bow and pine
animal stamp of your choice( I used a dachshund I had also Ready for Christmas has a cute dog)
Water color pencils
Shape Framelits to stamp image on

Have fun with what you have and use your imagination. There is no wrong way.
Here are a couple more I made using my dog stamps.

You can order the Stampin Up products from my website.

Also I’ll be ordering the new catalogs next week for Saleabration. If you need one let me know and I’ll send you one.

Spirited Snowmen simple stamping

I remember when I first started making cards I had the basics. Cardstock, stamps and paper. One can make amazing cards with just these three things. I’ve been stamping about 20 years now and have collected a lot of craft supplies through the years. Sometimes it’s nice just to use the basics. You can make this card using these supplies:
 Whisper white cardstock
Memento ink
Balmy Blue ink
Spirited Snowmen stamp set

Directions:
Cut whisper white at 51/2 fold in half. This will make 2 Card bases.
Stamp snowman image using memento ink
Using snowflake image ink up in balmy blue then stamp off twice before stamping on card
Stamp greeting inside, decorate with more snowflakes


Note- stamping off means you ink the stamp then stamp on scratch paper before stamping on card base.
Tomorrow I’ll show another version of this card using additional products.
Have a great day

Spirited Snowmen simple stamping

I love snowmen and the snowmen in this stamp set are adorable. You can make simple cute cards with this set. The card on the right all I used was this set, ink and paper. For the card I made a card from whisper white. I then used balmy blue ink on a napkin to make the background. I then stamped the snowman image and sentiment in memento black. For the card on the left I stepped it up a little by using a DSP mat. The card I made using cherry cobbler cardstock. I then cut a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of All is Bright DSP to mat on top. I stamped the snowman and sentiment with memento black on the DSP.
There are many ways to use stamp sets to make simple cards. Find a stamp set you like, cardstock, ink and perhaps some DSP to make your cards. The Holiday catalog has many beautiful stamps sets and papers to choose from. Take a look and give it a try. If you need a catalog let me know, I’ll send you one. The Holiday catalog runs through January 2nd. Don’t forget to use the host code for orders under 150$.
