Box of Penguins

This was such a fun card to make!

I just love how this 5 x 7 shadow box turned out with all these fun penguins.

I used the snowflake background for what else?  The Background!

I used the penguins2stamp and the waddlepenguins2stamp sets.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Warm my Heart

Hello Friends!

Today's card turned out even better in person that I thought it would in my head!

I just love how these colors came together.

I cut the snowflake background out of Ocean cardstock and attached it to a Gingersnap card base.

The heart is cranberry cardstock.

The white snowflake was left over from another project using this background die.

The sentiment came from the mittens2stamp set.

I hope you enjoyed today's inspiration and that you have a fantastic week!

Thanks for stopping by!

More Reindeer2stamp

I had a blast making this card with the new Morereindeer2stamp set released this week from

The Stamps of Life.

I used the Border Dies to create the snow.

I added a little glitter to make it shimmer!

I can't wait to get some more time to play with these cuties!

I hope you enjoyed the inspiration.

Warmest Wishes

Happy Monday!

I hope you had a great weekend.

Mine was very productive...got the tree up and the house decorated both inside and out!

Here in California, it's a little hard to get in the spirit when it's 75 degrees out but the decorations help.

This snowy card helps too!

I used Warmest Wishes from Stampendous.

It's one large image that is fun to color and makes it easy to make a quick card.

Of course adding the embossed snow adds that special final touch!

I hope you enjoyed todays card and that you find some time to stamp during the busy holiday season!

Thanks for stopping by today!

That's it for now...hope you got a little inspiration from my fun card today.

Polar Sleigh

Happy Friday High Hopes Fans!!!

Today I am sharing a wintery card that I created using Polar Sleigh from High Hopes Stamps.

The patterned paper is Echo Park's "The Story of Christmas" 6x6 pad.

I colored the image with Prisma colored pencils (dark green, cardinal red, black, orange, silver, chocolate) I blended the pencil with gamsol and blending stumps.

I die cut the image with Fitted Frames dies from Stampendous.

The sentiment is Peace Love Joy.

Hope you enjoyed my winter inspiration!

Still Shaking it up

The Stampendous Design Team has been hopping all week with our friends at Scrapbook Adhesives.

Today I made a fun winter themed shaker card with the new Snowman Trio Stamp & Die Set.

To create the shaker part of the card I cut out a thin window of 3D foam with 2 dies from the Fitted Frames A die set.

I cut a panel of patterned paper using the larger size die.

Then I adhered the die cut 3D foam to the edge of the panel.

I stamped the sentiment too!

I shook about 1 tablespoon of Shaved Ice Fragments on the panel.

Then I added a die cut panel of acetate on to the top.

I added the completed shaker panel to the card and then added the adorable snowman to the panel.

I just love how this card turned out!

I hope you enjoyed it too!
