Frosty Friends Postage Stamps

This was fun to make.  I've made a card to fit Merry Monday which has a theme of Snowmen and Freshly Made Sketches.  You can see the sketch below.

I've started with a Very Vanilla card base to match the Designer Series Paper - Be of Good Cheer.  It doesn't look like Christmas Paper does it?  In fact I may use it for a birthday next time!  The Scallop Edge Border Punch makes a snowy trim along the top in Whisper White.  The scrap strip, that the punch leaves, makes a nice trim along the bottom.  I stamped Frosty Friends in Basic Black twice and punched out with the Postage Stamp Punch.  I then added some colour to the images with my Stampin' Write Markers - Cherry Cobbler, Riding Hood Red and Bashful Blue.  I mounted the stamps using Dimensionals onto a mat of Cherry Cobbler.  My sentiment comes from the fabby stamp set - That's The Ticket and punched out using the matching Ticket Builder Punch. 

My son gave me a request today.  "Mum when are you making that cake again?"  That cake is this one below which I have now made twice and both times disappeared faster than you could say Fluffy Vanilla Cake.  It was rather yummy!  So looks like I may be on baking duty again this weekend. 

Take care and Happy Crafting!  x

Stampin' Up!'s Frosty Friends

A big welcome to my new follower, Sudha.  Thanks so much for choosing to follow me and I hope to see you visiting often! 

Here I am running late for CAS - Colours and Sketches again.  I didn't get round to joining in the colour challenge last week so definitely wanted to join in with the sketch.  A big thank you to the ladies for choosing my card as Top Pick for week 1.  I was so thrilled! 

Here's this week's sketch -

You must think I only have snowmen stamp sets with a couple of baubles thrown in for good measure.  I don't but I'm so enjoying using these stamp sets and Stampin' Up!'s Frosty Friends seemed a super match for this sketch.  I did use a new embossing folder to me - Petals a Plenty.  I've loved this folder when I've seen it on other blogs.  

I've started with a card base of Garden Green and added a panel of Whisper White.  The ribbon tag is Cherry Cobbler embossed with the Petals a Plenty Folder.  It gives a deep rich emboss.  I stamped my Frosty Friends in Night of Navy and coloured with the Regals Stampin' Write Markers.  I love colouring with the brush tip it's just like using a paint brush.  This was then matted onto another panel of Garden Green.  The panel was popped up on Dimensionals.

Don't you love the font of the sentiment?  It's from More Merry Messages and was stamped in Night of Navy.  

This was a commission request from my husband to give to his colleagues.  Cartoony was the only clue he gave me!  Hope they like them. 

Can you believe Christmas is next week?  Thanks for coming in by. x

Happy Holidays from Stampin' Up!

I'm so chuffed with these little tags.  I stamped Frosty Friends from Stampin' Up! and coloured then cut into 3.  They were originally destined for a card but I was so behind with my tags they fell onto these instead.  I used More Merry Messages to add a little sentiment.  The star and snowflakes were from my stash.  To round the top of your tag, cut the tag so the width is narrower than the 2 1/2" Circle punch.  Then slide one end in and punch.  They just need a little ribbon or silver thread to finish them off. 

I'm starting to feel so Christmassy as jobs are gradually being ticked off. 

So I thought I'd share a Christmas message from Stampin' Up! with you.  I'm sure you'll be singing along and having a chuckle at the same time.  Do have a look it's fun to watch.

Frosty Friends Tag

A Frosty Friends tag to share today, and it's been frosty and snowy up here over the weekend.  Not enough to build a snowman, maybe just a snowball but it is now all slushy.  

Over at CAS-ual Fridays it's all about gift tags.  This is exactly what I need just now as I'm busy wrapping presents. 

My tag is a Crumb Cake base with Frosty Friends stamped in Basic Black then coloured with my Stampin' Up! Watercolour pencils. I made a ribbon tag for my sentiment from More Merry Messages. 

I'm hoping to get most of my wrapping finished today so will need plenty more of these!  We did get our decorations all done on Saturday.  Unfortunately before I got a pic of my tree the bottom set of lights decided to give up.  The top half is very sparkly and bright though!! 

Some exciting news from Stampin' Up!.  The newly designed, by paper crafters for paper crafters, Stampin' Trimmer is now available to purchase.  I can't wait to order mine.   No more marks rubbing off and a bigger base for cutting.  Check out this video from Stampin' Up! to see all the fab features.

Simply Frosty Friends

I made these cards for a client.  She wanted something for Christmas but they had to be very simple.  So I reached for Stampin' Up!'s Frosty Friends.  These are so cute they easily carry a card on their own. 

The Rich Razzleberry suits her salon colours.  I've teamed it with Sahara Sand and used a blender pen to add little bits of colour.  

Very simple, very easy.  

How could you not fall in love with these little guys?!!  Happy Crafting x
