Warm winter wishes

 

I made this card for this weeks Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I haven't posted any cards for a while because I have been busy with going back to school to get my GED.

I saw this weeks challenge and this particular theme just popped into my head and I decided to make it and post it on the challenge.

This is a 5x7 inch card that I themed with a wintery forest. 

Supplies used are :

Large Oval die cut

Christmas Trees Dies

Poinsettia Die

Clouds Thinlets

Ribbon Messages Die

Marina Mist Stampin' up ink

Bravo Burgundy Stampin' up ink

Black Ink (Sentiment)

Christmas Clear Stamps for the sentiment

Snowflakes embossing folder

Pink pearls

Silver gel pen

First I cut out the oval shape on a 5x7 inch white cardstock. And then I cut another piece of white cardstock just big enough to go behind the oval shape. Then I used my snowflakes embossing folder because I wanted to make it look like it was snowing behind the pine trees.

I made the snowy ground by using some clouds thinlet dies and then I highlighted the snow by using a little bit of Marina Mist ink.

For the Christmas trees, I used a shiny forest green cardstock and my die cuts. After adhering them to my card base, I used a silver gel pen to bring out the trees layers, hoping to make it look like the trees have snow on them.

I used my poinsettia die to make a poinsettia to add to the bottom corner. It is connected by a yellow brad.

For the sentiment, I used a die cut from my ribbon messages stamp and cut, which is highlighted with Bravo Burgundy. The sentiment is stamped on with black ink and is a clear stamp from one of my Christmas stamps. And lastly, I added the pink pearls.

Here are a couple more angles of my card...

I've noticed that when I stand back a few feet and look at this card, that it actually does look like a little forest that is covered in snow. It also kind of reminds me of Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, only without the ornaments.

I hope you have enjoyed my card and thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you all are doing well and are staying safe during this pandemic.

This is my card for this weeks freshly made sketches card challenge #368.

The patterned paper came from my Christmas combo matstack.

Then I used my snowflakes embossing folders on white paper. After that, I sponged them with marina mist ink to give them a little color.

The snowman globe is from some Christmas stickers that I recently purchased at the dollar store. I added the silver gems to a few of the snowflakes to bring them out a little more.

For my sentiment, I used a clear stamp with red ink on white paper. I used a stitched circle framelit die on top of a scalloped circle die cut out with olive green card stock. 

I hope you enjoyed your visit to my blog. Please come again!

I just love using my new Flourish thinlet die, along with the flower die that came with it.
I was at the Dollar store today and I saw these really cute snowman globe stickers and I thought, "Hey, those would look really cute on a card!!" So, I bought it and I started working on this card right away after I got home.
I just love everything about how this card turned out!! The snowflake embossing folder, the dies, and the itty bitty gems make everything just pop and catch the attention it deserves!! It's definitely an eye catcher! Or at least I think it is..
Thanks for stopping by.

Supplies used :

Cardstock : White, Metallic Gold, Metallic Silver

Tools : Dots Embossing Folder, Paper piercing tool, Snowflakes #3 Die Cut

Stamps : Twas the Night Before clear stamp set, Handwritten Sentiments

Ink : Silver

Other : Gems

I really like this weeks Freshly Made Sketches card challenge. It gave me the opportunity to use my snowflakes die cut. This card challenge is located at http://www.freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com. 

For those of you who do not know, the reason why I number my cards is because that way I know how many cards I have made since I first started making cards back in 2011. It is also easier for future reference should anyone inquire about a specific card and would like to know more about it.

With that being said, let me tell you about this card...

I chose white, metallic gold and metallic silver cardstocks for the colors. For the bottom half of my card, I used an embossing folder to accent it and then I used a paper piercing tool to accent the border of the top half.

I used metallic silver for the background of my snowflake, which was cut out using my snowflakes #3 die cut. Then I used a metallic gold and white snowflake in the middle to accent the background snowflake.

The first part of my sentiment is from my Handwritten Sentiments clear stamp set and the rest of the sentiment is from my "Twas the night before" clear stamp set. Both are stamped onto my card with silver/grey ink. And to highlight my card, I used a few gems.

This completes my card for this weeks FMS challenge. I hope you have enjoyed your visit and will visit again. As always, your comments are appreciated. May God bless u and may you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and a very Merry Christmas!

Sentiment : Winter Whites rubber stamp set

Ink : Taken With Teal (sentiment)

Other : 5 blue gems, Baker's Twine, snowflake ribbon, turquoise ribbon, snowflake wire edge ribbon, Snowflake swirl embossing folder, white glitter.

First, I ran my paper through my bigkick using my snowflake swirl embossing folder. Then, after adding the snowflake wire edge ribbon, the turquoise blue ribbon, and the light blue snowflake ribbon, I added my Baker's Twine.

Before I added my sentiment from my Winter Whites stamp set, I smeared a light touch of glue on the white cardstock and then put white glitter on it and shook the excess off to give it a little bit of a shiny look.

I then added my sentiment and the blue gems to complete my card.

I thought I would see how my snowflake swirl embossing folder looked on another color besides white....so....I thought I would try it on a metallic blue. I was happy to see that running it through the folder also gave the design kind of a white color, which made it easier for me to work with. This card is like the previous one that I made, only this one has a few minor changes. Such as, I used a white 5/8 inch ribbon behind the 3/8 inch ribbon. The other thing I did different is I used a few gems on some of the snowflakes just to give them a little character. I used Stampin' Up Marine Mist blue ink for the clear stamp sentiment, which after stamping it onto white paper, I cut out around it and the adhered it to my card using a circle double-sided adhesive sticker. Thank you for stopping by and leaving your much appreciated comments...

For those of you who may be visiting my site for the first time and are wondering about the numbering on my cards, well...I number them with the card number, followed by the year and month that I made the card. This way, should anyone want to purchase a card(s) that I have made, they can let me know the name and number of the card(s) they are interested in so it will be easier for me to look it up and know what card(s) they want.

Now on to telling a little bit about this card...

The supplies I used are : Cardstock : Bashful Blue blank pre-folded cardstock, White cardstock. Other supplies used are : Snowflake Swirl embossing folder, Baby blue 5/8 inch ribbon along with a 3/8 inch baby blue with white snowflakes ribbon to give it an added touch. The 2 snowflakes are from a snowflakes sticker medley. The sentiment is a clear stamp. I used Stampin' Up Marina Mist Ink to stamp it onto white paper and then I cut it out and used a circle double-sided adhesive to attach it to the middle of the ribbon. I am using this card in this weeks Freshly Made Sketches #153 sketch challenge, which is located at http://www.freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com. Thank you so much for stopping by.
