Christmas snowflake snippet

 

 

 I made a lot of my Christmas this year from snippets from my

craft room.  I had several dies from a swap years ago that I pulled

out,  backgrounds from my background box and I got 

out my shimmery papers that I never use because they are too

pretty and used those too. I used these as my inspiration

to put together some quick yet beautiful

cards.  I will be showing one each day this 

weekend.  Unfortunately most got mailed before I took

pictures.

 It's Wednesday so time for another challenge at The House That Stamps Built!

I started with Wendy's NOEL and embosses it in silver, I then

layers of silver.  I then die cut a poinsettia with a die from

Sizziz to finish off my card.

The House That Stamps Built: Christmas: Option-Use Patterned paper

 It's time for another Wednesday challenge at The House That Stamps Built

 

I started by gluing my patterned paper to a piece of 4 x 5 1/4 " card stock and then 

embossing it with a snowflake embossing folder.  I distressed the edges with ink.

I then stamped  Repeat Impressions: Snow Skating ,  die cut it and colored it with Copics,

 and then stamped Let It Snow, distress it with ink after die cutting.

The House That Stamps Built: Christmas: Option-Nontraditional Colors

It's time for another Wednesday challenge at The House That Stamps Built.

 

 I went with the option: Christmas with nontraditional colors, using pink and silver. I 

masked and embossed Pointsettia three times in silver on pink card stock.  I then

blended ink over the edges for some depth and stamped  Merry Christmas in the

same shade of pink.   A few gems and a splattering of silver (which does not show up 

as well as in real life) and  a layer of silver card stock completed this card.

The House That Stamps Built: Black, White and one other color

It's time for another Wednesday challenge at The House That Stamps Built.

 

Below is my black, white and one other color (shades of brown)

 

I used one of Wendy's Quartet stamps: Brewed Quartet , I embossed

the image and paper pieced one of the coffee cups.  After adding a

layer of brown I added a bow.   This will go in the mail to a 

special request at chemo angels.
