Snowman Season for Facebook Live

Hello everyone! For Facebook Friday this week I shared a couple of fun card ideas to get some last minute Christmas cards made using the Snowman Season stamp set and Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper. 

Please join me over on on my *Stampin’ Anne Facebook Page* Friday at 4:00 pm CST, where I share some fun Stampin’ Up!® projects. If you can’t make it Live, you can always watch the replay. Also, I’d like to invite you to join my Stampin’ Anne Facebook Group for more updates, promotions, upcoming classes and exclusive projects. Everyone is welcome!

*To check out the video for how this card was made, click here: Snowman Season Facebook Live. I’ve also listed the measurements below!

The Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper is probably my favorite paper pack in the August - December Stampin’ Up!® Mini Catalog. This paper, along with the Wrapped in Texture Embossing Folders I used on these cards, will be retiring on January 4th (or while supplies last) and is SO perfect for so many occasions. It’s great for holiday cards, fall cards or just all-occasion cards, too. I think I am on my 4th pack of this paper, I use it THAT much! If you don’t have this DSP, I highly recommend picking up one (or five) packs of it. :) 

For Facebook Friday, I wanted to show how just by changing up the cardstock and ribbon colors, you can create some fun holiday cards, ready to pop in the mail. The sentiments on this card are not specific to Christmas either, so if you are running a little late, you can just make them “New Year” cards! 

Card Measurements and Details: 

• Card Base: 4-1/4” x 11, scored at 5-1/2” 
• Cardstock Layer #1: 4” x 5-1/4” 
• Cardstock Layer #2: 3-7/8” x 5-1/8”, embossed with polka dot pattern from Wrapped in Texture Embossing Folder
• Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper: 1-3/4” x 5-1/8” 
• Whisper White Cardstock: die cut 2-5/8" circle from Layering Circle Dies, stamp snowman image in momento ink and color with coordinating Stamp’ Blends Markers. Accent with Wink of Stella for sparkly detail. 
• Cardstock scrap for sentiment: choose color that coordinates with card, stamp sentiment in Versamark, heat emboss in white (or just stamp in Momento ink, if preferred), then cut around image. 
• Ribbon and embellishments (rhinestones or adhesive-backed snowflakes)
• Whisper White Cardstock (inside card): 4” x 5-1/4” 
• Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper (inside card): 3/4” x 5-1/4” 

Here are a few more looks with the same design but using different patterns of the Plaid Tidings DSP. What I love about this card is that it is a great way to use up some of that stash of DSP and ribbon by keeping the same basic design and just changing up the cardstock and Stampin’ Blends used to color the image. Which one of the four cards above is YOUR favorite? 

Color Combos: 

• Card #1 (top left): Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green, Crumb Cake and Whisper White
• Card #2 (top middle): Seaside Spray, Melon Mambo and Whisper White 
• Card #3 (top right): Pretty Peacock, Balmy Blue and Whisper White
• Card #4 (bottom row): Balmy Blue, Melon Mambo, Whisper White

Finally, here is a peek inside the card. I just added an extra strip of the plaid DSP and coordinating stamped images.

Sip Sip Hooray for FF0048

Welcome to another Festive Friday Challenge! For #FF0048, our festivity is Wear Your Pearls Day, which is coming up on December 15th. Our Inspo List features 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE (or more) of the items in your project and link up to the challenge! And guess what? Your project doesn’t have to be about Wear Your Pearls Day – at all! The selected festivity is just a unique way to come up with some fun and interesting ideas to inspire your creativity! 

For my card, I incorporated the following elements from the Inspo List:

Rhinestones - Circles - Black and White - Pink

Initially, I thought I was going to go with a vintage-vibe on my card, but once I got to creating, I gravitated toward the Sip Sip Hooray and coordinating Cheers to That Bundles for a fun and festive card to ring in the New Year! I just couldn’t resist adding a pop of bright pink (and green) with the black and white. I just LOVE bright and happy colors! 

Color Combo: 

Basic Black

Melon Mambo

Whisper White

Granny Apple Green

Here is a list of the details on how this card came together. The measurements and a full supply list are also listed below. 

Card Details:

• Stamp martini glass and lime images in Tuxedo Black Momento Ink
• Die cut images using Sip & Celebrate Dies
• Stamp the image to fill up the glass using Melon Mambo Ink and use Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush over color to add sparkle
• Color die-cut lime image using Light/Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers and use Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush over color to add sparkle
• Adhere to card using Stampin’ Dimensionals
• Die-cut “bubbles” from Sip & Celebrate Dies on Whisper White Cardstock layer
• In a Stampin’ Spritzer bottle, mix a few drops of Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint with rubbing alcohol (70% works best) and spritz all over the “bubbly” Whisper White Layer
• Die cut “Cheers” sentiment from Cheers Dies in Black Foil, use a sponge to add liquid glue to the back of die-cut sentiment to adhere to card
• Color 9 Basic Rhinestone Jewels with Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Marker and adhere to card
• Add some Shimmery Crystal Effects in some of the “bubbles” for extra detail…it’s just a fun pop of dimension but not necessary 
• Adhere a Silver Metallic Thread double bow using a glue dot
• Pop-up the “to you and yours" sentiment layer using Stampin’ Dimensionals 

Card Measurements:

• Basic Black Card Base - 5-1/2” x 8-1/2”, scored at 4-1/4” 
• Melon Mambo Cardstock - 5-1/4” x 4” 
• Whisper White Cardstock - 5” x 3-3/4”
• Whisper White Cardstock (for sentiment) - 1-3/4” x 3/8” 
• Scraps of Black Foil and Whisper White Cardstock for stamping and die cutting
• Whisper White Cardstock (inside card) - 5-1/4” x 4” 

Finally, here is a peek inside the card, using two different sentiments from the Cheers to That stamp set.
