Warm Winter Wishes

 Hello, Janet here with a sweet snowman, sending warm winter wishes.

I stamped the snowman with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and cut him out. He is colored with copic markers. Next, I used navy cardstock for the bottom layer. The next layer is printed paper. Using white cardstock, I cut out some snow to lay across the bottom. I added some silver glitter to the snow. Using pop dots, I attached the snowman. The sentiment is stamped on white cardstock with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink. I layered that on matching navy cardstock cut slightly larger and attached it in the upper right corner. I added 2 navy snowflake brads before layering everything on the card base.

An Evening of Elegant Light

Hi Everyone, Dalis here.

We’re leaning into the soft-glow side of the season with the Candles 3 Lit stamp from Crackerbox Stamps, and goodness does it deliver a quiet kind of magic. The colors drift away from the usual holiday palette and settle instead into something gentle and refined, like a whispered toast in a dim room.

The thread accents and tiny embellishments weave in just enough texture to make the design linger in the mind long after you set the card down. Nothing loud, nothing hurried, just a graceful trio of candles carrying their own hush of warmth.

A little glow, a little shimmer, and a whole lot of elegance. This one feels like a deep breath wrapped in cardstock. 

Supply List:

Candles 3 Lit

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink 

Additional Supplies: pattern papers, bling, dies, and thread.

Until next time— Stay colorful, stay crafty! -- Dalis

Little Touches, Big Holiday Wow

Hi Everyone, Dalis here.

Don’t let these frogs fool you—they’re having a full-on partay! No need to behave, just make sure you don’t get your tinsel in a tangle. I absolutely love these little troublemakers! You’ll find several frogs in the shop, but this one is from the cool Frog Set 1 by Crackerbox Stamps. It’s one of our many fabulous (and slightly naughty) clear sets!

Today, I wanted to share how you can stamp directly onto book pages to achieve that mixed media feel without all the work. The natural text and worn paper add depth and texture instantly! It’s amazing how the smallest details can stand out the most. That little dangle flowing from the background to the sentiment? Chef’s kiss—perfectly aligned.

Supply List:

Frog Set 1

Ornament Poinsettia Dangle

Sign Post Words Snarky set of 3 

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink 

Additional Supplies: Gelly Prints, Punches, Golden splatter paint.

Enchanting Winter Fairy Snowflake Card

Hello, friends! Toni here sharing a quick holiday/winter card that would be super easy to customize.

I sponged the card front panel with a couple of shades of Catherine Pooler blue inks, using a hillside mask, then spattered with water. Imagine all the different colors you could use for the background!

Once dry, I stamped the Fairy Blowing Stars in black; I recommend using a stamping platform so you can repeat stamping to get the image as dark as I did.

The stamping platform is also handy for stamping the Blowing Snowflakes in white, as well as the 

Magic of the Season sentiment.

A Winter Wonderland

 

Hello, friends!

Ericka here, bringing you a serene and peaceful winter card to close out the year. There’s something magical about winter landscapes, and today I’m sharing a design inspired by snowy days and quiet woods, featuring the beautiful Winter Butterflies sentiment along with some smaller, whimsical stamps.

Once the background dried, I stamped the Winter Butterflies sentiment, Snowflake, and Holly Snowflake Swirl using Versafine Clair Twilight ink, then clear embossed them for added depth and shine.

To bring the scene to life, I stamped the Spruce Tree in Versafine Clair Rain Forest and the Buck and Doe in Pinecone ink. These natural tones add an earthy touch, balancing the soft shimmer of the background.

For that extra touch of winter magic, I used a white gel pen to add “snow” to the stamped images and sentiment, creating the look of little snowdrifts piling on tree branches and the forest floor. It’s a simple detail that makes the scene feel so much more alive. To complete the card, I added a hint of elegance with some gold stitching—a subtle shimmer that ties everything together and gives the design a polished, festive feel.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you’re enjoying these final few days of 2024, soaking up all the wintery wonder and warmth of the season. Here’s to a creative and joyful year ahead!

Happy crafting,
Ericka ❄️✨

Humorous Grumpy Bear Winter Card

 Hello, friends!  Toni here sharing a humorous card perfect for lightening up those winter blues.

I started this card by using a background I had created ages ago using a stencil and Brushos. I spattered Copic Opaque White as snow and added a glitter hill to adapt it to winter.

Then I colored up the Grumpy Bear Bernard image using Copics, diecut the panel with a deckle edge and mounted it on a piece of kraft cardstock.  

To complete the card, I stamped the Wish I Was a Bear sentiment with Versafine Clair Nocturne and gave it the same diecut treatment.
