Hi Friends,
This handmade Stampin’ Up! Christmas card is so reminiscent of times past.
The old fashioned skis, sled, and snow shoes remind me when I was a little girl………….
So onto the card!
I used Real Red, Early Expresso and Very Vanilla card stocks plus the stamp set Alpine Adventure and corresponding Alpine Sports Thinlits.
It was fun using the Buffalo Check stamp with Memento Ink on the Real Red base.
You sure gets LOTS of mileage out of THAT stamp!
The sled was fun to create –two different cut outs then a little snip here and there and voila!
I did add a bit of gold thread for the pull rope and of course splashes of Wink of Stella here and there!
How cute is that???
The greetings came from Merry Christmas to All and Alpine Adventure stamp sets.

Hi Friends,
When I first saw this Stampin’ Up! Farmhouse Christmas stamp set, it reminded me of the town I grew up in.
The Ice Man, Fish Man, Rag Man and dairy farmers ALL had pick ups just like this one!
And I remember at Christmas, trees were delivered and picked up in this same truck.
When I saw this stamp set, I KNEW I had to have it!
First I took a base of Cherry Cobbler then layered a piece of Mossy Meadow on top.
I did run that layer through the Big Shot with the Tin Tile Dynamic Embossing Folder.
Using the Festive Farmhouse DSP, I added a strip to balance the Mossy Meadow layer.
Next I added a piece of Burlap ribbon and beveled and frayed the edges.
I colored the truck image with our Stampin’ Blends in Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black and Daffodil Delight.
Then I cut that image out with the Layering Ovals and backed it with a Cherry Cobbler layer.
Dimensionals popped it up for added interest!
Added a few Rhinestones for the headlights and of course pops of Wink of Stella –and ta-da!

Hi Friends,
When flipping through our Holiday Catalog, I fell in LOVE with the Thanksgiving card on page 44.
It’s the top left card- using the Merry Merlot card stock.
I think it’s so much fun to COLOR and that;s just what I did!
Using our Watercolor Pencils, it was fun –just like being back in kindergarten!
Then I gently used my Aqua Painter and with soft, one directional strokes, covered over the colored layers.
First I apologize for the poor image –I was in a hurry to get it posted for my Demonstrators–am a work in progress!
Directions:
I used Crumb Cake as the card base at 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 4 1/2
2.Then I took a piece of Pumpkin pIe at 5 x 3 /3/4 and ran it through the Big Shot using the new Tin Tile Embossing Folder.
3.Then I took a Sponge Dauber and used Pumpkin Pie ink to distress the embossed layer.
4.I did use Tear & Tape to adhere it to the base layer. I think with thicker embossing folders, extra adhesive is a great way to insure it sticks properly.
5.Next I took the wagon stamp and message and used Stazon to stamp on a layer of Very Vanilla.
THEN -for me the REAL FUN began! COLORING!
6.I used the WATERCOLOR PENCILS and colored away.
NO fuss, no worry, just easy broadstrokes over the images–kinda like an ombray effect.
7.THEN I took my Aqua Painter and very gently and in one direction only, blended the colors a tad more.
8.I made a tiny bow with the Braided Linen Thread and attached with a Glue Dot.
9.This layer was attached to a piece of Crumb Cake. The edges were distressed using the blade of my Snips–just to give it a bit more dimension. Dimensionals were used to pop it on top of the textured piece.
These are the products I used to make it:

Hi Friends,
This too darn cute Stampin’ Up! Signs of Santa Christmas card makes me laugh!
It’s fun to color and fun to paste!
I used the Big Shot with the Santa’s Signpost Framelits to cut out Santa .
Then I colored him using the Stampin’ Blends and added a puff of cotton to his cap with a drop of Fine Tip Glue.
I also used a banner from the Festive Farmhouse DSP with a bit of gold thread in front of it .
Santa is popped up on the Christmas card with Dimensionals and of COURSE I just had to add Wink of Stella here and there!

Hi Friends,
I think this Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Blizzard card is simply ELEGANT!
I used Coastal Cabana, Pool Party and Whisper White Card stock, plus the gorgeous stamp set and framelts to create this seasonal card.
I first took the base Coastal Cabana layered a piece of Pool Party on top. Then I stamped the white layer with Coastal Cabana and Pool Party –randomly all over the front with a bit of a diagonal angle.
Here’s a view of the snowflakes with the Sparkle Glimmer Paper and a few Rhinestones for a subtle yet elegant addition.
Here’s the inside:
