More Baked Brown Sugar Snowflakes

Here is another variation of of the Festive Flurry Snowflake card that I shared with you last week. This one is more suitable for a thank you than a Christmas greeting.

Both cards are made with pieces that were leftover from a card I designed for this month's Paper Crafter's Sampler.

Of course, my favorite card of the bunch ended up taking a 90 degree turn,  as I added winter white flowers with the snowflakes. This one is in the December Paper Crafter's Sampler. Here is a peek:

You can see many great Naturally Winter projects in the beautiful December Paper Crafters Sampler:

Stay warm and take care!

I was just playing with some wedding card ideas with the new Flowerfull Valentine's stamp and decided to try this one out with this week's:

• Of course I colored the stamp with Primrose Petals and Gumball Green before stamping and using my hearts framelits to get that professional die cut edge.
• I used Shimmery White card stock for the whole card. This card stock is somewhere between Whisper White and Very Vanilla so pearls and Very Vanilla Seam binding are just perfect with it.

Off to work. I'll be back tomorrow with a Paper Crafter's Sampler teaser...

Brown Sugar Snowflake

Just a quik post to see how this works from my iPhone. I just love how the white embossed snowflakes from Festive look on Baked Brown Sugar card stock.

OK, I did come back to my laptop to edit but I seriously like this. I could send my photo directly the draft post and easily edited it from within the post. I'm doing a happy dance! I could have even dictated the post via Siri but "she" doesn't seem to get that Baked Brown Sugar is supposed to be capitalized.

Foxy Christmas

It's been a busy fall but my favorite winter stamping season is approaching and I couldn't resist preordering a few (not!) of the inspiring products in the upcoming Occasions catalog that goes live in less than a month.

Before my order arrived I had already planned to try Life in the Forest for a Christmas card and decided to use this week's  challenge "out on a limb" to get me going:

• The card base is White Naturals as are the colored layers.
• A few lines at the base of the trees with an Early Espresso marker give the illusion of snow.
• I used a base of Wild Wasabi (Aquapainter plus ink pad) with a touch of Garden Green shadow for the trees.
• Confession time: I ordered Christmas Messages from the Holiday catalog mostly because of this "All I want for Christmas is You" greeting. Just cute! Pistachio Pudding Marker gave just the right hint of green in outlined Christmas word. Oh yeah the fox is watercolored with Cajun Craze..
• What do you think of the Scalloped Tag Topper punch? Just slide in a scant 2" wide strip fo card stock and you have any length tag you want. I edged the tag ever so slightly with my Early Espresso marker. That and the ever present but hidden dimensionals help the tag pop off the page.
• A Naturals Designer button is tied up with Early Espresso Baker's Twine to finish off the tag.

PS: the other greetings from Christmas Messages are awesome too. I'll post Some Festive Flurry cards with this greeting set as soon as I figure out how to transfer them from my iphone to my laptop. I gave up the flip phone and I'm still getting used to using a smart phone. I must say it is fun to have your camera also play Christmas music!

Well, that's it for now. We're off to see if we can find a Christmas tree.
