Let It Snowglobe

This is the last of my projects that I created for the Flower Soft Project Book and CD review, and it's a snowglobe card. I printed out all of the different images, cut them and layered them with foam tape, added Flower Soft, fit the globe, and adhered together. You may see the wonderful tutorial by Beate right here.

Snowman Snow Scene

Today I have another card that I created using the Flower Soft Snow Globes CD ROM, but this time I thought I would try a little scene without the globe...and I couldn't resist using the adorable little snowman again. I used my Labels Five Nestabilities to die cut the scene and frame. To match up the corners of my base with the dies, I used my new Scallop Corner Chomper that I found at Eclectic Paperie. Texture is added with my Swiss Dots Cuttlebug Folder, and the bow was created using my Bow Easy from Sharon's Stamp Simply Store. This has lots of dimension, and pretty Polar White Flower Soft "snow.

Star Of Wonder Ornament

Oh gosh...here's that ornament I promised a week ago. All of the Halloween events made things busy for a while, then I had to wait until I had the "green light" to post it.

This ornament was made using the new Flower Soft Globes and Software. The Splitcoaststampers Product Focus Review Team has been busy creating with these new goodies, and have posted our reviews and projects for you all to check out. Let's not forget the tutorials along the right hand column of the main review page, as well.

Stamps/Images: Digital images from Flower Soft Snow Globes CD ROM, Brayton Font (JustRite Stampers)
Card Stock: White (Georgia Pacific)
Ink: Inkjet Printer, Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Display Globe/Polar White Flower Soft & PVA Glue (Flower Soft), Crop-A-Dile & Silver Eyelet, Silver Elastic Cord, Scor-Tape, White Crushed Velvet Ribbon (Basic Black Ribbon Collection from BasicGrey), Glue Dots

The snowman and background were images found on the CD, and the sentiment was stamped with my Brayton Font from JustRite Stampers. I used some crushed velvet ribbon for the borders, and my Crop-A-Dile and a silver eyelet for the hanger (a piece of silver elastic cord).

Spellbinders Ornaments

It's all about ornaments today, and I have a card and decoration for your tree. I made both using various Spellbinder dies, and PaperTrey Ink papers.


To create this card, I used Circle Nestabilities and PaperTrey Ink Gold cardstock. My snowflake strip was die cut with my Snowflake Borderabilites. I adhered the strip with Tombo Multi glue, then trimmed off the edges. The cap and loop were cut freehand, and I scored the ridges with my Scor-Pal. I strung some Gold Elastic Cord through the loop, then tied it. Lastly...I added some Adornit Gems for a little added sparkle.

Card Stock: Gold (PTI), White
Accessories: Circle Nestabilities, Snowflake Borderabilities, Scor-Pal, Crop-A-Dile, Adornit Gems, Gold Elastic Cord, Tombo Multi Glue

This little tree ornament was created with my Nested Pine Trees Shapeabilities. I used the medium sized tree die with PaperTrey Ink Silver cardstock. I die cut 8 of them, and scored down the centers of each, with my Scor-Pal. I pre-folded each, then adhered them one by one to each other using Scor-Tape. Before adhering the final edges, I used Silver Elastic Cord...tying a knot at the top, and a clear bead from my Pretties Kit on the bottom.

Card Stock: Silver (PTI)
Accessories: Nested Pine Trees Shapeabilities, Scor-Pal, Scor Tape, Silver Elastic Cord, Bead from Pretties Kit

I hope you've enjoyed my projects today, and thanks for stopping by!

JustRite Good Friends

I love these adorable JustRite snow people! I used my Winterberry (Memory Box) paper for the nice, snowy background...and added a bit of detailed embossing on the lower edge with my Snowflake Borderabilities. The tiny snowflakes were also made with the Borderabilites. I used my Xyron 150 to apply adhesive to the flakes, then sprinkled with Dazzling Diamonds.

Framed Penguin

I made this snowy scene for my penguin from Way Up North (Lizzie Anne Designs). The Snowflake Frame was altered a bit (The corners were trimmed off. See the original die here.) I wanted the more decorative snowflakes, so I die cut 8 of them in white (using one of the small snowflake dies included in the die set). My hills were cut with my Creative Memories Decorative Trimmer, and I used my Polar White Flower Soft on the edges. I mounted my framed scene on my base, and decided to cut my corners with my awesome new Deco Corner Chomper that I found at Eclectic Paperie. Did you all see the new Chompers?? I didn't even know about them, until I spotted them at EP. They are one of my very favorite new "toys for sure!!

Matchbox Tree

I had fun making this Tree! I love to make shaped cards, and that was what I set out to do ...when I began making this. I embossed my Wasabi card using my Herringbone Cuttlebug folder, then die cut the tree with my Nested Pine Trees Shapeabilities. I die cut all of the little snowflakes (using the Snowflakes Borderabilities set), then I accented the centers with Taylor's Twinkles. I adhered them on my tree with Tombo glue. At that point I began thinking my tree would be so much cuter with a stand. I thought about using my Matchbox die for the stand by cutting a couple of slits into the top of the box to support my tree. It worked perfectly! I knew I had the perfect sentiment (from Oh Christmas Tree/Lizzie Anne Designs) for my tree, then stamped and punched it out with my Modern Label punch. Now I have a cute decorative card with the gift box included. How cool is that?

Stamps: Oh Christmas Tree (Lizzie Anne Designs)
Card Stock: Wild Wasabi, White, textured Red
Ink: Pure Poppy (PTI)
Accessories: Nested Pine Trees Shapeabilities, Snowflake Borderabilities, Herringbone Cuttlebug Folder, Scor-Tape, Taylor's Multi-Colored Twinkles & Tombo Multi Glue, Matchbox Bigz XL die, Modern Label punch, Hobby Blade and Tim Holtz ruler

I can't believe it's Friday already! This week has flown...but I guess that's how it is when you're busy! ☺

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you have a nice weekend!

CAS Monday

I have a short post for today, and it's another super simple CAS card. The images are from A Harvest of Memories (LAD October Monthly Mix). It doesn't look much like an anniversary card for my DH...but it is (18 years today!). He likes "no frills", and I thought the images were beautiful. I used my yummy Fabriano cards from Starlit Studio, and my Ranger Distress inks.

Stamps: A Harvest of Memories (Lizzie Anne Designs/Oct 09 Monthly Mix)
