Mambo Frost Card

I wanted a bright and cheery card for the recipient

to hopefully brighten her birthday. It's been so cloudy and gloomy

here lately on top of the pandemic and political stuff going on.

I custom printed this saying for the inside:

Sending your way

a bouquet of happiness

to wish you a very

Happy Birthday!

Everything used (other than the polka dot ribbon)

 came from Stampin' Up!

Most items are no longer available.

First First Frost Card

 

This is the first of five cards I made with the 

new to me First Frost stamp and die set

 by Stampin' Up! (retired)

I'll post one card each day over the next couple of weeks.

My daughter gave it to me for Christmas. 

Although I have oodles of cards already made,

I just had to play with this pretty set :) 

All supplies used 

were bought from Stampin' Up! over the years.

Most are no longer available.

 

Colors:

Primrose Petals, Sage Shadow, Pistachio Pudding

I'm impressed with the way the flowers 

inked up and stamped. They look just like this, 

a multi-tonal water colored sort of look, 

by simply stamping on a single color ink pad. 

Other Supplies:

sentiment from Floral Frames

3D Tufted Embossing Folder

sequins

dimensionals

Thanks for looking =) 

This card was chosen as a CAS Favorite at

You Warm My Heart Card

My first card of 2021!

I received this sweet stamp image as a Christmas gift

and just had to put her to use for a Thank You card 

to mail to the gift giver :) 

Snow Day by Pure Innocence for My Favorite Things.

For the top stitched edge panel 

I moved the piece of card stock after running

it though the stitched edge die. It was shorter 

than the die. After I ran it through, I moved 

the card stock down to the bottom edge and

ran it through again. Sometimes this technique

works really well as it did on this card and 

other times the stitches don't line up so well. 

I water colored the image with inks from my Classic 

Stampin' Up! dye ink pads using an aqua painter.   

I added a little bit of Stickles diamonds glitter glue

to the snowballs.

The snow covered background was die cut and stamped

with old supplies from Stampin' Up!  

I used shimmer paper for the ground. 

The colors are also from SU!

Baja Breeze, Pink Pirouette, Almost Amethyst

The teeny tiny snowflake is actually the part 

cut out from a border edge punch. 

Rhinestone center.
