Stampin' Up! Spirited Snowmen

One of my favorite sets from the Holiday Catalog is Spirited Snowmen.  Isn't he cute?  And I decided to show Lovely as a Tree some love with this card.  Lovely as a Tree was one the very first stamp sets I bought as a demonstrator.  That was 16 years ago and it is still going strong!

I used the Masking Technique to place the snowman in front of the trees.  I started by stamping with snowman on the cardstock, then stamped it again on a post it note.  I cut it out and placed it over the cardstock, then stamped the trees.  When you remove the post it note, the snowman is in front of the trees.  A little Dazzling Diamonds glitter and a few white sequins finishes it off.

Stampin' Up! Lovely As a Tree

Here is an oldie but goodie!  This was the very first stamp set I bought 16 years ago.  I don't think Lovely as a Tree will ever retire.  If it does, I will keep it for sentimental reasons.

I need a fall themed card for a swap.  I decided to bring out an old technique that I haven't done in years....literally.  It's called Thumping.  Using Stampin Write Markers, I applied ink to the stamp.  Early Espresso for the tree trunk, Old Olive all over the branches and leaves.  I followed that with tapping Mossy Meadow, Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry to create the effect of a tree beginning to change colors.

I colored some rhinestones with Cajun Craze, Old Olive and Bronze Stampin' Blends to see what color I like best.  I love them all and couldn't decide so used all three colors.

Happy Fall y'all!
