Snowman Season Massive Thanks!

School is out which means I have days off now!! I have mailed and delivered, shopped, wrapped and started to prep food. The only thing left to do is prepare our Thank you cards. Since we won’t be giving massive hugs to grandparents as we open gifts I am going to have the kids write good old fashioned Thank you cards, with a teen twist.

The inspiration/sketch for this card came from the Freshly Made Sketch – 466 (#FMS466) To see all the details of how I made this card you can watch the You Tube video posted below.

Here are the basic measurements:

Pretty Peacock CS – 4.25″ X 11″, score at 5.5″

Pool Party – 4″ X 5.25″

Whisper White – 3.75″ X 2.75″ and 4″ X 5.25″ for the inside

Silver Foil – 0.5″ X 2.5″ (two of these)

The teen twist comes with the sentiment in the card:

Whiskey Business – An Old-Fashioned Christmas Card

I am moving into full Christmas card mode as I get ready to send out a handmade holiday greeting to all of my students at school, my co-workers, friends, and family. I do have a number of Whiskey lovers in my family – so this stamp set was a MUST for birthdays, Father’s Day and now of course – Christmas. Maybe I can even find a way to make a Valentine’s card with this set. Hmmm…

Anyways, you can see how I made this card in my You Tube video below or on my FB page.

Here is a close up view of the Wink of Stella on the glass and decanter. Such a great touch!

If you love this card – you can contact me to purchase it, or you can grab all the supplies you need to make your own fabulous handmade holiday cards.

Whiskey Business -# FMS460

If you follow my blog or Facebook page you will know that i am a HUGE fan of using sketches to design. Today’s card was made using a sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. I wanted to add details, but still keep it simple. I think the detail that makes this card is the wink of stella added to the decanter and glass. I just love how it adds a shine to everything it touches!!

The dimensions for this card are standard base (8.5″X5.5″, scored at 4.25″) then a layer of DSP ( 5-3/8″ X 4-1/8″). The banner is 3″ by 4.5″. To make the v at the bottom I marked aspot that was 1.5″ across and .75″ up the banner and then used snips to cut tot he point. The whiskey itself was created by highlighting with light Cinnamon Cider blends and then blending it with light Mango melody blends.

For a full list of supplies, see below.

Happy Stamping!

Painted Poppies

This week I will be spending a lot of time chatting with my Grade 2/3 class about Remembrance Day, planting our own Poppies in our school garden and we will be creating our own Poppy art in class. So I thought I’d spend my Stampin’ week focussing on Stampin’ Up!’s gorgeous Painted Poppies set. Today’s card is created using the Painted Poppies stamp set and a lot of fussy cutting (there are dies available- I just wanted a closer cut).I also heat embossed and then dry embossed the background.
