Snow Flurry White on White Christmas Card

I used the Snow Flurry die to make this white on white card. I sprayed the snowflake with Vanilla Smooch Spray to make it sparkle.

I received my first Christmas card and it intrigued me, so I thought I would try to make my own version.

Stamp Happy!

Stampin' Up! Petite Purse

The cutting die for this purse is from Stampin' Up! It makes a Petite Purse that is just right for party favors at weddings or showers.

For this purse I used Be of Good Cheer Designer Series paper by Stampin' Up! and three colors of card stock. The snowflake die cut and button die cut are also by Stampin' Up! I used Stampin' Up!s Dazzling Details on the snowflake to make it sparkle.

Have a Happy Stamping Day!

Owl Builder Punch Cute Card

http://stampwithtrude.blogspot.com Stampin' Up! greeting card by Trude Thoman
Isn't this a cute card? My friend Susie M. showed me how to make this. It uses Stampin' Up!s owl builder punch and the scalloped oval punch.

I used the woodgrain embossing folder to create a log for the 3 owls to sit on.

What occasion would you use this card for? I can't decide.

Happy Stamping Day!

Four Seasons Christmas Gift Tag

I used the Four Seasons stamp set by Stampin' Up! to create these gift tags.

I used the single snowflake from the same set to stamp a strip of Marina Mist paper to use on the blue tag.

I used the baby wipe technique to stamp the snowflake wreath. You dot several colors of reinkers onto a baby wipe and use that as an ink pad for the stamp. It makes subtle color variations on the stamped image.

I like red, white and blue stamping for Christmas and winter themes. What is your favorite combination?

Have a crafty day,

Trude
