This months CAS-ual Fridays challenge is all about snowflakes!!  So my card for this challenge used the Snowflake Greetings stamp set.  I am really loving foil lately and wanted to have foiled snowflakes so I masked off all three H's in the greeting and stamped the snowflakes using versamark ink.  I then embossed them using wow bonding powder and added foil.  I then masked off the snowflakes and stamped the H's.  I LOVE how it turned out!  We would love to have you play along with this months challenge so click on over to the challenge blog and play along!

Today's card is a great way to send Thanks to someone this winter. 

I used the Top Dog Dies Polar Bear die set for this card.  The  die set has some really cute polar bears, a iceberg, some snowflakes and the scallop circle that I used in today's card.  I love that the scallop has the dot detail on the outer edge of the cut line as well as on the die cut itself.  Here is close up.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

It's time to start preparing for the holidays!  I am going to show you how to make this adorable window pillow box today.  Pillow boxes are a great way to package up your goodies and gift cards for the holiday season.

To start we are going to die cut the hat and scarf from the Top Dog Dies Snowman die set and then lay your pillow box flat.  Place your snowman die where you want your window and run it through your machine.

Next you are going to apply adhesive to your  acetate and then secure it to the inside of the pillow box over the place you cut your image out as shown.  All you have to do is adhere your scarf and hat and close up your box and you are all done,  Here is a closer look at all the detail you get with these dies!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Shaker cards are so fun and trendy right now and I LOVE to make them.  You can make them for every occasion and it is super fun for the recipient to have an interactive card.

 

 

 

 

Today's card is made using the latest release from Top Dog Dies and the super fun snowman die set.  This die has the stitching detail on the die cut and outside the cut line which is a great detail for making shaker cards.  I filled this shaker with some metallic stars, a little bit of fake snow glitter and sequins. I added just the hat and scarf but the die set has coal for eyes, carrot nose and branches for the arms that you could add if you wanted but I was going for simple.

 

I am so glad you stopped by today!  Until next time...

I have a holiday card to share with you today using the latest release from Top Dog Dies.

 

 

 

Isn't this cardinal just amazing?  I love all the detail.  The die set comes with 2 birds some holly and this great branch with berries.  I like adding little details to my projects I think they add a lot so I added some glossy accents to the berries on my branch and sprinkled it with distress glitter.  I love how it turned out.  The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.  Here is a closer look of the cardinal.

 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Time for another CAS-ual Fridays Challenge!  This one is all about Precious Metals.

 

I used two stamp sets for this card Calm and Loving and Autumn Blessings.  I stamped the tree and then used the smaller leaves from Autumn Blessings to fill my tree.  Some of the leaves I foiled with some rose gold foil.  The picture really doesn't show how stunning the foiling is.

 

So head on over to the CAS-ual Fridays blog and play along!!

Do you love glitter?!  I do.  Today I have a tutorial showing you how I glitter my die cuts.

 

 

First grab some double sided adhesive sheets and adhere one side to a piece of thinner cardstock.

 

 

Next grab your die and die cut the snowman.

 

 

Peel off the top liner to reveal your adhesive.

 

 

Sprinkle your glitter over the adhesive and you have a super sparkly snowman! I like to really rub the glitter in good and burnish it with my fingers so none of the glitter falls off later.

 Here's a closer look at the finished snowman.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today!  Go make something sparkly:)

I have a spooky  card to share with you today...

 

 

This card features the Bats Die Set from TDD.  How fun is this card!?  I just love it. I used a photo overlay from Pebbles for the background which is perfect to show off those fun bats!  I also die cut the bigger bat 3 times so that I could layer the wings and give them more dimension.

 

 

That's all for today, thanks so much for stopping by!
