Beverly's Stamping Beehive

Hey everyone!   Today I am blogging about the card I made in the middle of the night, lol.  It started with the idea that I wanted to use the bear from Stampin' Up!'s Cookie Cutter bundle set {stamp and punch}.  My intended recipient loves bears and I was dying to do a shabby chic style card, so voila!  Some details: I dyed a piece of white satin ribbon using ink. Ink refills {liquids} are so helpful to create co-ordinating materials for your projects. Soft sponging of paler colours help to frame your main more colourful image. Add more details by layering accents such as my poinsettias and label.   Here is one of the  embossing powders from the Stampendous Fran-tage line called ' Shabby White '. See how bubbly and glittery it is?   There it is - I love doing soft colours paired with white for pretty styled christmas cards!!!  Hope everyone is having a safe and enjoyable holiday season this year, cheers!

Hi folks, So I have survived our " ICE STORM " of 2013 where we lost power for days - and have moved on to cleaning out the craft room {as if that's possible !!}  But what else can one do when the temps are minus 30's? With that in mind, and peering at the ice and snow outside, I realized today's post may still appropriately be about snow themes, plus I forgot to include my other snowman card in my last post. The JUMBO SNOWMEN stamp set by Stampendous has a really darling set of snow people (?) who're hugging for all its worth, and what a nice card this could be for January! I certainly enjoyed colouring them, and I placed everything at different levels using reinforced paper supports I created by hand.  Creating them in varying heights or widths allows you plenty of choices to create some interesting 3D effects :) Give it a try - and happy hunting for discounted Christmas stamps [he he]....I know I am out there, cheers!
