Frosty Card

I absolutely LOVE this stamp set. A long time ago I use to be a Stampin' Up demonstrator. However, that didn't pan out. Anyway, I started to get rid of some of my stamp sets, but I just couldn't get rid of Frosty. Well, Frosty is now discontinue, but I still love that set. So, todays card is using that stamp set.

Here's what I'm using:
8 1/2" x 5 1/2" sheet of card stock (I used a navy blue). I scored at the 2 1/8 on each side
3" x 3 1/2" sheet of card stock (I used white)
3 1/4" x 3 3/4" sheet of card stock (I used a cranberry)
Inks I used:
White
Black
Brown
I used texturing tools from Close to My Heart to distress the sides of the white and cranberry with the brown.
to color the snowman I decided to use pastels to give it the soft look.
I used about 20ins of ribbon (white)

Now I'm going to build the card. First off I stamp the snowflake on in different areas of my blue. I also stamped Happy Holiday in the inside of the card. Next I stamp the snowman on to the white and colored him in with the pastels. Once thats done I attached the white to the cranberry. I set that aside and I attach my ribbon to my card. Afterwards I used some popup adhesive and angle my snowman.

Here we have my finish project:

Christmas Card with Christmas Cheer

All right, I know it has been a while since I have posted anything to Love to Craft. I thought, "Hey it's Christmas time, I probably should make a card. Anyway, I used the Close To My Heart Christmas Cheer Stamp set. Truth be told I don't know if it has been discontinued. However, it's a cute stamp set.

Here's the stamp set I used:

Seriously, isn't that stinkin' cute. In my projected I used 5'x12" piece of card stock and folded in half which made my card 5"x6". From there I used a white card stock to stamp my image. A scrap piece to stamp Santa on and eventually cut him out. Once I was done I used water colors to color in the tree and Santa. Then I position Santa used foam adhesive to pop Santa up. I added some glitter ribbon and this is my my finished product:

I love the simple look of the card, but it still pretty and festive. Maybe I will get better at making directions, but I wouldn't count on that. Well, there is your holiday cheer and I hope you guys have a happy holidays.
