Snow Front

Snow Front doesn't have to be used for only winter or Christmas cards. I wanted to show the versatility of this wonderful set so I made some birthday cards with it.

The Evergreen Forest embossing folder makes a great background for these adorable deer. I stamped the trees once in full strength and then again without inking them back up again. I did fussy cut the deer but it was so worth it!


I really like the deer in this set so I wanted to focus on them again for this card. I die cut the main panel with Stitched Rectangle dies and then stamped the scene.


The mountains in the background are screaming for someone to climb them. Not me, but someone! The deer make a great focal point again for this card. The trees were stamped several times before inking the stamp up again. That is how I got the different shades of green. 


I hope I have helped you to be create some masculine cards. They aren't always easy, at least not for me. Take a look at your stamps and see what else you can create with them. You might be surprised at what you already have!

Dandelion Wishes

One more hurrah for Dandelion Wishes. I just had to play again with a set that I have really enjoyed creating with. 

I started with Old Olive card base. The Basic White layer was sponged with some Old Olive ink on the edges. I used a technique called block stamping for the square. I inked up my D block with Flirty Flamingo ink. I then misted the block and stamped it on my Basic White cardstock. After letting it dry, I added the blown dandelion over the top. The Tailor Tag punch contains the greeting, which was sponged with Flirty Flamingo ink.


I used the Layering Squares to create frames for over the top of the image. I really like the way this turned out and I will have to remember to do this again! Don't forget that you want to stamp before you emboss the cardstock or you won't get a crisp image.


I started with a piece of Sahara Sand and stamped the dandelions on the cardstock with VersaMark. I embossed them with white embossing powder. I then used a sponge dauber to add some Sahara Sand ink to the centers of the dandelions. I then layered two of the Stitched Labels dies on the cardstock and ran it through my Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine. I removed the small frame that was cut. Adhere the outside layer with adhesive and the center with dimensionals.


I loved blowing the dandelion wisps when I was a kid. This stamp set has reminded me of many memories with my mom. I will miss this set.

Happy Stampin'!
