Festive Flurry banner card

 

The Festive Flurry framelit-cut snowflakes were a hit with my stampers last week at my 20-card Christmas class. Here's another design I used. I just gave a neighbor 60+ Christmas cards and have many more! I think I'm set for my card-sending season and still have Christmas classes coming up in October.

 

I started with an Island Indigo card and added a layer of 4" x 5-1/4" Whisper White. I cut a few 1" strips of Winter Frosty Specialty paper as banners and layered them under the framelit-cut snowflakes - the top snowflake is from the Festive Flurry stamp set, and the other is die-cut out of silver glimmer paper. The sentiment is from Petite Pairs.

Cutting a perfect snowflake every time

 

Cut a perfect snowflake every time with the Festive Flurry Framelits in the Holiday Catalog (page 30). And if you bundle it with the Festive Flurry stamp set, you can save 15%! What's a snowflake without sparkle? I added a large rhinestone.

 

This was another of the 10 designs I used for my recent 20-card Christmas class. It uses a 1-1/2" x 5" strip of Winter Frost Specialty designer paper on a Whisper White layer that was adhered to a white card with dimensionals. The sentiment is from the Joy to the World stamp set (page 24 of Holiday Catalog), stamped in Island Indigo ink.

Chalk Talk, Christmas and Tag It swaps

Chalk Talk by Kimberly Becker

I hosted a stampin' retreat at my studio this past weekend, and an American Ink team meeting too. Everyone stayed all day. Here are a few swaps to share. This first one uses the Chalk Talk Framelits and coordinating stamp set, along with Etcetera designer paper.

Northern Flurry by Frankie White

My photo doesn't do justice to the strip of shiny designer paper at the top of this card. Frankie used the Northern Flurry embossing folder and Festive Flurry framelits to diecut an embossed snowflake she adhered over the embossed card front.

Tag It by Heather Williams

Birthday Basics designer paper shines on this Tag It card. Heather used the Chalk Talk framelit to diecut the image after inking it with markers.

 

Remember: Order the Tag It stamp set from me by August 31 and you'll get your name entered into a drawing for the Pretty Print Textured Impressions Embossing Folder in the Holiday Catalog. I'll announce the winner on Sept. 1 AND if you use the following hostess code, you'll also be eligible to win the hostess benefits - GGQ2GJ3A.

I picked up this little vintage item at an estate sale. It looks like a mini toothbrush holder! I'd asked several people, but I found a photo and description online today. My treasure? A vintage brass lipstick holder! It makes sense now that I know what it is. lol
