Hello!  Larisa here.  Today, I'm so excited to share some Snowman Goodies with you!  I have two different projects to share!   My first project is two gift tags featuring the NEW Make A Snowman Outline Die!  I had so much fun creating these!  First, I die cut the largest tag from the Layering Tag Die Set.  Then I added a Circle in a contrasting pattern and topped that with a white die cut from the In & Out Circle Die.  I pieced my snowmen together and added some accents with enamel dots and some 3D stickers from my stash.  Then...

Happy Monday, friends! It's Joni here with a card that I created with the new Tiny Winter Clear Stamp Set that was part of the November release: I wanted to still celebrate Fall, so I paired them with autumnal papers. I colored them in with some grays, oranges, and brown, and voila! The perfect group of Thanksgiving buddies. You can find all the new goodies right here at the shop. I hope you have a wonderful week of holidays, food, family, and friends, thank you for coming by the blog today! xoxoxoxJoni

Hi Crafty Friends, I am showing of one of the new stamp sets from C.C Designs today called Tiny Winter. This darling penguin and bear are playing in the snow in their little hats and scarves! My sister and I used to build a sled ramp down our back stairs when it snowed for sledding and my sister did the same thing for my nephew a few years ago so of course I included pictures for you. Playing in the snow is so much fun at any age and best part? Hot Chocolate after....just ask the penguin below. Make Crafty...

Hello dear ones, I was once again in the mood for a set of Artist Trading Cards. The little guys were a perfect match! For the background I first punched out the tag and then wiped with ink and then stamped snowflakes and stripes on it. With some yarn under the motifs and the sentiments, they were already finished. Here are two more pictures: Tiny Winter Clear Stamp Set Hugz Ginger

Hi everyone! It's MEG here today with a tip and a fiasco to share with you.... My tip is on coloring ice when you are doing some no-line coloring. My fiasco is my CAS design, which I shall explain below. First...for my fiasco. I don't know if you've ever had a plan with how your design should turn out, only to find yourself doing something completely different?! I am not usually a CAS-girl, as y'all know. But for this design, the Snowy Bears clear stamps are seriously so perfect and detailed on their own, there isn't much you need to...

Happy weekend, everyone! Itś Joni here with a card made with another image from the Christmas Swiss Pixie set. I love love love these images, because they have such sweet personalities that shine through: I stamped her on kraft cardstock, then colored her up with Copics. I love using white gel pens on kraft because it reminds me of gingerbread icing. :) I cut out a little section of the cookie patterned paper from the Christmas Paper Pad for the top, then added gingham ribbon from my stash, and enamel dots to finish the look. You can find everything right here at...
