Today I’m sharing a card I made using the Spirited Snowmen stamp set. I heat embossed the image in white, then watercolored the background, and colored in the Snowpeople’s clothes using Stampin’ Write Markers. I flecked ink onto the front of the card base using a White Chalk Marker and a Clear Wink of Stella brush to represent snow. Unfortunately, once I started, I realized my chalk marker was almost dry, so I didn’t get a lot of snow. But I hope you get the idea.
Here’s what I made:

Today I’m sharing another card I made using the Christmas Traditions Punch Box. I also used the Textured Weave Ribbon and the Subtle and Quilt Top embossing folders to add some texture. The colors are Granny Apple Green and Blushing Bride. I like alternatives to red and green for Christmas. I especially like pink. My Christmas dishes are pink and green. I even have a pink Christmas tree with pink lights, AND matching wreath and garlands!
Here’s what I made:
Here you can really see the texture from the two embossing folders and the ribbon:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
Granny Apple Green card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4
Blushing Bride CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″
Whisper White CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″ for the inside of the card base
Stamped with the Christmas Traditions stamp set:
the image in Granny Apple Green and Blushing Bride inks onto a scrap of Whisper White Thick CS
NOTE: I used Stampin’ Write Markers to color the stamp, then huffed on it to reactivate the ink before stamping
Ran through the Big Shot to emboss:
Blushing Bride CS layer with the Subtle embossing folder
Blushing Bride CS layer with the Quilt Top embossing folder
NOTE: use them in this order. I think the Subtle folder would probably undo the Quilt Top pattern.
Cut using the Christmas Traditions Punch:

Assembled the card:
burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
ribbon adhered to the Blushing Bride CS layer using Tear & Tape (or Snail) wrapping the ends around to the back

Today’s card is super quick and easy (QAE.) It’s also clean and simple (CAS.) There isn’t even any stamping! So you can crank out a bunch of these babies in no time. I used the Merry Christmas Thinlits Dies for the sentiment, and Black Foil Sheet for the background. Unfortunately the shiny quality doesn’t show in the photo, but it’s very nice. The “snow” is lots of little white enamel dots from the Santa’s Workshop Enamel Shapes. These embellishments have now sold out, but you can use Basic Pearl Jewels or Frosted & Clear Epoxy Shapes just as easily. Scroll down to see the other holiday items that are sold out or low inventory.

Look at these adorable embellishments! They’re flat so they’re great for cards. Just stick them on using Mini Glue Dots. (I even made a pair of earrings!)
