There is something so beautiful about a snowflake and you all know how I love Bermuda Bay!!! I love shades of blue and silver together for a holiday card! I started with a Bermuda Bay card base. Then I took a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 4″ x 5-1/4″ and stamped the large snowflake from the Flurry of Wishes Stamp Set in Bermuda Bay. I stamped the smaller snowflakes in Pool Party and the greeting in Smokey Slate! I wrapped a piece of Silver Ribbon around it and attached it to the card front. For the popped up snowflakes, I stamped the double snowflake in Bermuda Bay on a piece of scrap paper! Then I punched them out with the coordinating Snow Flurry Punch! You can bundle the set and punch together and save 15%! Also, I punched the snowflakes in Silver Foil Paper and layered the stamped snowflakes on top but off set! I added these to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals! I love it….the card that is, not snow! I just thought I would make that clear! I am so not a fan of winter.

I really like this simple and yet elegant card for the Christmas Season! Who doesn’t want a card that says someone is thinking of you? It is so touching I think! I love it! 🙂
I started with a Garden Green card base and stamped on a piece of Whisper White measuring 4″ x 5-1/4″! I used the Embellished Ornament Stamp Set for the greeting and holly twig! I used a Garden Green and Real Red marker to color in the holly twig and stamped that on either side of the Whisper White. Before attaching it to my card front, I brushed the edges of the cardstock with a Sponge Dauber! For the greeting, I stamped it in Real Red onto Whisper White cardstock and then die cut it with the Tags & Labels Framelits! I brushed the edges of the greeting with a Real Red Sponge Dauber! Then, I cut out another label in the next size up in Silver Foil Paper and layered them together! I added the greeting to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals! I love this!

I have had lots of fun with the Berry Merry Stamp Set. I love the big greetings and then all of the little decorations that you can use around it! Flowers, snowflakes, bows and more are just so fabulous to create a masterpiece! This card is very basic. I used a Whisper White card base and stamped the Season’s Greetings image in Tip Top Taupe! I love the greeting all by it’s self but I added a little foo foo around it to dress it up! I stamped the poinsettia flower in Real Red and the leaves in Cucumber Crush. The little snowflakes were stamped in Pool Party and then I finished it off with a few Pearls!
I love to create cards with layers and ribbons and loads of craziness but sometimes a simple one layer card like this is just as stunning! Which do you prefer – lots of layers and goodies OR simple and basic??? Let me know in the comments below!
Isn’t this card just fabulous??? That subtle bling is just perfect! It isn’t too much and you don’t have to worry about creating a huge glittery mess when you create this card! I used Dazzling Details, a Sponge Dauber and a Mask! How amazing!?!?!
I started with a Whisper White card base! I took a piece of Real Red measuring 4″ x 5-1/4″ and placed the Dots Decorative Mask over top of it! Then I squeezed some Dazzling Details into a old embellishment container (or any plastic surface) and using a Sponge Dauber, I pounced over the polka dots. You don’t want to add lots of glitter because it will take forever to dry and will bleed under the mask a little. Once you have filled all of the polka dots, pull off the mask and set it aside to dry. You can always use your Heat Tool to speed up the process a little!
Once it was dried, I added it to the card front. For the greeting, I used the Berry Merry Stamp Set and die cut it with the Lots of Labels Framelits! Super cute and fabulous for the Holiday Season!!!
This card I am in LOVE with and it was sort of a mistake. After playing with the glitter, I thought what about adding some Re-Inker to it for some color. I dripped 1 (ONE) drop of Night of Navy in there and HELLO COLOR! I was really surprised at how dark it was. I started playing the stripes on some Whisper White scrap paper. Slowly I was running out of glitter so I added some more Dazzling Details and of course this only lightened the blue more. As I went along I noticed this fabulous ombre affect happening and I was in love. I will say that when you add the re-inker it gets much runnier so it bleed under the mask and wasn’t as crisp. I still love it!!! I layered this onto some Night of Navy Cardstock and then Marina Mist. I put it all onto a Whisper White card base. For the greeting, I used the Tin of Cards Stamp Set and Decorative Label Punch!
I love the subtle glittery look and I love Dazzling Details in all of the colors – Silver, Gold, Red, and Dazzling! You can check out my Video Tutorial below of by clicking here! Don’t forget to give it a thumbs up if you liked it!!!
Happy Tuesday!!! That means I have some fabulous techniques to share with you! Today I’m sharing more Punch Art using the Owl Builder Punch! I hope you are all enjoying this series! Click to see the September Punch Art and October Punch Art! Now let’s get started on the November Punch Art!
With all of the different holidays coming up, I thought I would share the Turkey, Moose, Reindeer and Lion this month! Lots of animals…..and yet not one owl! 🙂 Let’s get started!
This little turkey was created with the Owl Builder Punch! You need a Soft Suede owl body and breast piece. You will need a Pumpkin Pie lower owl body including the feet. You will need 4 Pumpkin Pie Banners from the Banner Punch! Also, 3 Cajun Craze Banners and 3 Soft Suede Banners. You will need a Real Red heart from the Owl Builder Punch and 2 white circles from the Owl Builder Punch. I brushed the edges of the breast piece with a Soft Suede Sponge Dauber to add a little darker color and dimension. I cut of the Soft Suede feet and adhered the Pumpkin Pie piece to the back allowing those feet to show! Layer the 3 banners together for all of the feathers and adhere those to the back of the owl body. For the eyes, I used a Daffodil Delight Marker to color the bottom half and then a Basic Black Marker to color the dots! I added those to the body with Mini Glue Dots! I used the 4th Pumpkin Pie banner to cut the triangle nose and paired that with the heart for his gobbler!!! He is so cute!!! You could use him on a tag, place setting, treat bag, or card this Thanksgiving!
The little reindeer uses the Owl Builder Punch and Bird Builder Punch! You will need 1 owl body and 2 leaves from the bird punch in Soft Suede. I used Red Glimmer Paper for his nose and punched it out with the small circle in the Owl Builder Punch. I added the nose with Mini Glue Dots and put the leaves on the top of his head! I added googly eyes because I think they are adorable and drew in the mouth with a Basic Black marker! He would be perfect for a tag, treat bag or even on a card!
The moose uses the Owl Builder Punch, Elegant Butterfly Punch and 3/4″ Circle Punch! I used lots of shades of brown to give him some dimension and variation. The owl body was punched in Chocolate Chip, the antlers with the Elegant Butterfly Punch were punched in Soft Suede and the circle was punched in Early Espresso! I used a Basic Black Marker to color 2 little nose holes (like tear drops) and then adhered it to the owl body. Of course I cut off the little feet from the owl. I cut the butterfly wings off and rounded them off a little. I attached the wings behind the owl body for the antlers and added the googly eyes!!!
This little Lion was created with the Owl Builder Punch and the 1-3/4″ Scallop Circle Punch! I punched the owl body out in Crushed Curry and the little heart from the Owl Builder punch in Chocolate Chip. The scallop circle was punched out in Cajun Craze. I cut off the little feet from the owl and added the googly eyes and the heart nose. I used a Mini Glue Dot for the nose…..be sure to push it all onto the paper before placing it on the owl otherwise it will look like a snotty nose like mine above. 🙂 I used a Chocolate Chip Marker to create the mouth and the little freckles! I layered this onto the scallop circle and you are all done! This would be perfect for a kid’s birthday party favor, tag, or card!

Which little animal is your favorite? Let me know in the comments below! I think the lion is my favorite or the reindeer! They are all just so cute!
I have been having lots of fun with this little penguin! I have really loved him more than the snowmen which I’m kind of surprised! All of them from the Snow Place Stamp Set are all just so cute! You can get the coordinating Snow Friends Framelits as well. Purchase them together and you will save 15%! I did everything on this card on one layer because I was going for a simple look!
I started with a Cherry Cobbler card base and added a piece of Merry Moments Designer Series Paper Stack measuring 4″ x 5-1/4″! There are 24 pieces of this design in the stack so that makes making multiples much easier! I stamped the penguin from the Snow Place Stamp Set in Basic Black and colored in his feet and beak with a Pumpkin Pie marker! I stamped the little bow tie in Real Red. I used the Circle Framelits to cut out the penguin and create the Old Olive layer! I added this piece to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals as well as the greeting! The greeting was from the November 2014 Paper Pumpkin Kit! I am doing a large class with lots of Holiday cards using many different sets so I dipped into a few of my Paper Pumpkin Stamps to make sure I had different greetings on each! The greeting was punched out with the Washi Label Punch! I brushed the edges with a Real Red Sponge Dauber to make it pop out more!
Which image do you prefer – the snowmen or the penguin?? Let me know in the comments below!
I know that the Holidays can be hectic and expensive when you are running around from party to party, buying gifts for lots of people, and traveling around! Well I have created and quick and affordable card for you to create anywhere, anytime and it won’t break the bank! I used Note Cards and Envelopes which come 20 to a pack and they are pre-scored and ready to go! I used the Season of Cheer Washi Tape from the Holiday Mini Catalog! You don’t even need scissors for this – just rip it with your fingers. I actually did use scissors on the left hand side but you could rip it and wrap it to the backside! There are 5 styles of Washi Tape and 5 yards of on each roll! That is a lot of Washi Tape and gives you many different looks when you mix and match! You can use any greeting that you have on hand to stamp on the card. I used Pear Pizzazz Ink and the greeting is from the Wondrous Wreath Stamp Set! You could create this card while traveling or in between putting cookies in the oven! Love it!
If you would like to see this in action and see how quick it took me to create it…..1 minute 45 seconds! Check out the video below or click here!!! Don’t forget to give it a thumbs up if you liked it!
You can use those Whisper White scraps that you have been saving….surely I’m not the only one! 🙂 I stamped the Penguin, Snowmen, Arms and Top Hat from the Snow Place Stamp Set all in Basic Black! You can stamp with fairly close together but not sure close that the Framelits would cut into the one next to it. I stamped the ear muffs in Melon Mambo and the bow tie in Bermuda Bay. There are lots of other pieces in this set that you can use as well – buttons, hat, scarf, snowcone, and more! Once you have everything stamped, it is time to cut the out with the coordinating Snow Friends Framelits. I used the Magnetic Platform when die cutting these out because the frames stick to this platform and don’t move around. You can cut lots of pieces out at one time, as long as they all fit on the platform! This way you don’t have to run it through the Big Shot millions of times! Once you have your pieces cut out, it is time to assemble!!!
I started with A Bermuda Bay card base and layered on some Basic Black. Then I took a piece of Whisper White cardstock and ran it through the Big Shot in the Softly Falling Embossing Folder! I added this to the Basic Black layer and then built my snowmen on the card. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals of course! For the nose, I used a Pumpkin Pie Marker to color it in!
This is the penguin that I created in the Video Tutorial! You can check that out below or by clicking here! Don’t forget to give it a thumbs up if you liked it!

I love embossing folders and how they make a simple card have such an amazing WOW factor! It is so simple to emboss and doesn’t require extra layers or embellishments! I used the Boughs & Berries Embossing Folder from the Holiday Mini Catalog on this card. For the greeting, I used the Berry Merry Stamp Set. You can Bundle & Save 15% when you get the set and embossing folder together. I stamped the greeting in Basic Black, holly berries in Real Red, and leaves in Garden Green. I stamped the holly randomly around the greeting and then die cut it with the Ovals Framelits! I thought it looked a little plain to just add it to the card front so I used a scrap piece of Silver Foil Paper that I had to layer the oval on. I used the Banner Triple Punch to create those banner ends! Of course the greeting was added to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals! I really liked the way it turned out with the Silver Foil. It added a little shine and texture! This would be a great card to send out any time from November through January since it is very festive and not holiday specific!
One little Boo and I’m screaming like a little girl. Halloween isn’t my favorite holiday as I am a scaredy-cat! Halloween is this weekend so here is a quick and simple card that you can create last minute!!!
I started with a Whisper White card base and added a piece of Basic Black measuring 4″ x 5-1/4″. For the little ghosts, I punched out Whisper White Owls from the Owl Builder Punch and snipped off the feet and turned them upside down. There is your little ghost. I used the small circles from the Owl Builder Punch for the eyes and one of the larger circles for the mouth! I used Mini Glue Dots to pop all of those circles onto the ghost body! The greeting is from the Cheer All Year Stamp Set and then I punched it out with the 1″ Circle Punch and added it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals! Quick, simple and adorable! You still have time to whip up a few of these!
