More Stacked Snowmen

Today’s card is a repeat of my the stacked snowmen from Lots of Cheer stamp set. I pulled out two more colored snowmen and tried to decide how to feature the image. I landed on a watercolored piece of paper to serve as a backdrop. From there I layered more cardstock and a piece of scrap DSP to create my base. I added a tone on tone sentiment, popped up the snowman on dimensionals, and finished the card with a glittery chipboard star.

Today’s card is a simple panel card featuring images from the retired Color Me Christmas stamp set. I love the nontraditional Christmas colors featured on this card. They just make me happy!

Embellished Tree

Today’s card features a great Christmas tree embossing folder I picked last year on deep clearance. I couldn’t figure out a way to feature it in a card design. Finally I figured, why not make it the feature of the card? And so I embossing a piece of Shaded Spruce, cut it out with an Oval Die and layered it all on some fun DSP. For a final touch, I added some enamel shapes. Perfect!
