Happy Winter

 Hello & Happy Tuesday, Friends!

Today I am sharing a card I made recently with some new & retired Stampin Up! products. I sometimes make Happy Spring, Happy Summer and Happy Fall cards but never anything to celebrate winter. I pulled out the current Snowflake Kisses bundle and noticed some of the sentiments were perfect for a Happy Winter card! Now, I am not a fan of winter weather but I know a few that are...

Card Details:

Stamps: Snowflake Kisses (Online Exclusives), Festive Friends (Online Exclusives)

Ink: Versamark, Garden Green, Real Red

Cardstock: Real Red, Garden Green, Christmas Tags & More Specialty Kit

Accessories: Snowflake Kisses Dies (Online Exclusives), Many Mittens Framelits (retired 2017),  Green/White Ribbon (Online Exclusives), White Embossing Powder, Heat Gun, Red Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The Christmas Tags & More Specialty Kit comes with punch out and some great patterns of designer series papers. I had a few scraps in my pack and that is what I used on this card. 

I was pleased with how it turned out! Now I just need to get it addressed and in the mail!

Happy Winter to you!

Snowman Soup

Hello & Happy Friday!

The weekend is finally here!

Going to be a busy day so I will get right to my project!

I have always made Snowman Soups for craft shows and over the years they have not become a big seller and I stopped making them.

This year I decided to make them again since I found single packets of Campfire Marshmellows at AC Moore. Stampin Up also gave us a pretty mitten print in the Let It Snow Specialty DSP this year so I thought I would try them again.

Isn't that paper cute (what you can see of it)?

My diecut mitten is from a few years a ago called Many Mittens Framelits that was part of the Smitten Mitten bundle. 

Project Details:

Stamps: Snowman Soup is computer generated

Ink: none

Cardstock: Real Red, Coastal Cabana, Whisper White, Blueberry Bushel, Let It Snow Specialty DSP

Accessories: Many Mittens Framelits, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Oval Layering Framelits, Blueberry Bushel Grosgrain Ribbon, Red Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I made 8 Snowman Soups this year and i'm not sure how many sold.

One year I made 30 for 2 different craft shows. Not a one sold!

We were drinking hot chocolate all winter long! LOL

Mitten Tablet

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Man yesterday was such a dreary day!

It rained all day then got foggy as the evening went on.

Today I have another one of those notebooks to share with you.

I finally got them all finished up and ready to show.

This notebook uses retired products.

Project Details:

Stamps: Smitten Mitten, Wrapped in Warmth (both retired)

Ink: Cherry Cobbler

Cardstock: Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green, Whisper White, Be Merry DSP (retired)

Accessories: Many Mittens Framelits, Cable Knit EF, Chalk Talk Framelits, Pearls, Cherry Cobbler Stitched Ribbon, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I really like this one because this isn't just for Christmas but could be used all winter long!

I got the Smitten Mittens Bundle last year and hardly used it. 

I hope to get some good use from it this year for projects like this or on some candy treats!

Won't that be cute on a bag of Hershey Kisses!?

Smitten Mittens Gift Card Holder

Hello & Happy Friday!

Ryan got my computer working and so far so good!

Let's hope it stays that way!

I know I am jumping way ahead of holidays here but today I have a pretty cool Gift Card Holder to share using the Smitten Mittens Bundle.

Unfortunately, I did not take a picture of the inside. I will remember that when I share the others I made. I used the small mittens in the bundle that I stamped one in Cherry Cobbler and one in Garden Green and attached them to the sentiment panel. I love, love, love the Garden Green Ribbon I added with a Gold Metallic Enamel Dot on the sentiment panel and some of last years Gold Twine tired in a bow added on the mittens. The stitching on the circle framelit goes great with my mitten theme and I love that my paper also has mittens in it!

Mitten Gift Card Holder:

Stamps: Snowflake Sentiment, Smitten Mittens

Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green

Cardstock: Garden Green, Whisper White, Be Merry DSP
Accessories: Many Mittens Framelits, Stitched Shapes, Circle Layering Framelits, Garden Green Ribbon, Gold Twine, Gold Metallic Enamel Dot, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I cannot wait to share the others that I made!

So festive and Stampin Up's DSP's just make it so easy!
