Let it Snow

 Good Morning and welcome to my blog. Today I am the designer over at Card A Day Blog and the theme this week is snow:

We've gotten some snow but I know other parts of the states have gotten alot of snow. This is my last post for Card A Day Blog this year and the theme was timely, with snow in the forecast for Saturday. This was one of my first cards I ever swapped with the local girls, I learned a new technique with this one

The dark blue strips were wet embossed with the snowflake cuttlebug folder ans then embossed with blue embossing powder, it gives a bit of a shiny look to the cardstock, the stripe was cut at 1 X 3.75 and it was layered on lighter blue cardstock that was cut at 1.5" X 4". The snowman was stamped with French Blue Ink and it was something I had received from a friend when she was getting rid of her stamps, I think it's a Stampin Up stamp. It was stamped on white cardstock cut at 3" X 2.75" and layered on that same blue cut at 3.5" X 3.25". the Let it Snow stamp is from a Christmas clear stamp I got that is from Scrappy Cat and was stamped with the same ink as the snowman. This was stamped on white cardstock and cut out with the Classic squares-small from spellbinders and I added dimension to that with the swiss dots cuttlebug embossing folder and then layered on snowflake paper die cut with the scalloped squares small. Added 3 small punched snowflakes, I'm thinking it's a fiskars punch to finish off the card.

Thanks for stopping by and seeing the view from my little corner of the word ans stop back later this afternoon to see who won the 100 blog follower giveaway :)

Snowflakes, Snowflakes and more Snowflakes

Hi All and if you came from Card A Day Blog welcome,

I would like to share today a card I made for the holiday. I enjoyed doing this card, I worked through a new technique on this, Double Embossing for the background piece, it is a fun technique to learn and it didn't turn out to bad.

On the card the snowflakes were cut from the Holiday Cakes cartridge. It and the snowflake border was cut from the DCWV Christmas Combo pack. The embossed blue card stock was done with double embossing. Dry embossed with cuttlebug snowflake folder and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. The stamp was one I received from a friend of mine. added some blue ribbon, a blue snowflake from a Jolees bling pack and some blue stickles. 

Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the world........
