Introducing The Warm Winter Wishes Card Kit

Hello Holiday and Winter Stamping Goodness! This kit has it all! I had a ton of fun playing with the whimsical snowpeeps in the Winter Hugs stamp set.

Do you want to build a snowman? I do! Tee hee!

There are so many fun wreath builder bits in this set, I just couldn’t resist creating a little whimsy to go along with the watercolored snowpeep. OH, and the birch tree background stamp. YES! it’s the perfect background stamp for wintery cardmaking. I also embossed the SNOWFALL Stencil into the background to create a subtle tone on tone look.

Did you know that you can use your stencils to emboss? Hello, versatility! 

I’m really digging this set in all it’s whimsy. The companion dies make it super easy to cut the snowpeep out and embellish your card with ease. The wonky snow in the Snowfall Stencil just makes me happy!

I’ve got a little thing for the Art Stencils, you?

The detail in this Stellar Snowflake Stencil is just insanely gorgeous. I popped it right into my Platinum 6 and embossed it right into a Gina K Designs Layering Weight card base. Paired with Emily’s Christmas Script Sentiment Set and SHAMPOW! easy breezy, snowy card. I love that I could emboss the card and ink card up using the same stencil. You can find a great tutorial (I learned this from her) on this technique by Cathy Zielske HERE.

I just couldn’t resist breaking into some Glitz Glimmer Gel to create this fast and easy Snowflake Mandala. Paired with this month’s incentive Seasonal Greetings sentiment set this card is a stunner. I shocked myself. Tee hee!

New Incentive Set Seasonal Greetings

I had a lot of fun combining this clean and simple sentiment set with my new stamp set You Being You to create some hoopy art on this card.

This set will be automatically added to your order of $75 or more. How cool is that!
