Joyful Snowflakes

Hello Stamping Friends,

Finally an original Barb design for you today!  I had intended to submit my card to the Freshly Made sketch challenge, but I missed the entry deadline.  But, that's okay, I will still share my card and the sketch with you!  :-)

  
Just in case you didn't know, I have a serious crush on the All Is Calm dsp in the holiday catalog.  It literally has a calming effect on me and I adore using it.

I hope you enjoy the stacked snowflake, and the shadowed Joy made with the Snowflake Thinlit Die  After I took my pictures, I added a rhinestone to the middle for a little extra glitz.

Happy stamping to all, and to all a good night!

Glory To The Newborn King!

 Hello Again, Stamping Friends!

You guessed it!  I'm on a holiday kick these days, and why not?  Stampin' Up! has a wonderful new holiday mini catalog out and it is jam packed full of holiday paper crafting and scrapbooking delights.  ;)  

Today's card was based on this sketch challenge over at Paper Pal Arts.  Once again they (Nicole Watt) hit it out of the park! I used all new products for this Christmas card.  I've loved the All Is Calm designer paper and thought it a fitting backdrop to such an important sentiment, which is from a  The Newborn King stamp set.  With just a hint of royal "pop" the dazzling diamonds glimmer quietly makes it's appearance.   I challenge you to take a few minutes this weekend and play along with this sketch, and if you do, please share it with me!

Happy Stamping,

Here is my card and envelope:

The envelope punch board provides the perfect finish to any card you make; a coordinated envelope!

The Details:

I use a mix of White and Iridescent Ice Embossing powders for the sentiment.

The Glimmer:

 Stampin' Up! Basic Pearls and Glimmer paper always provide just the right amount of lux.
