Hello Friend,
How is your week going? Is this week going exactly as planned and fun memories being made or do you find yourself swallowed up in a mountain of cares or concerns with pressures from work, family, health, or just life in general.....
If you said yes, to any of the above stressing life situations....I want to encourage you to take a moment for yourself and take some time to create something beautiful! This will allow you to de-stress and lose yourself in the wonderland of creativity....and maybe in the process of creating, think about someone that needs to know that you care and bless them with your one of a kind card. You will find yourself rejuvenated and there's just something so satisfying when you see your friend's face or even someone you don't know well, completely light up and be so grateful for your kind gift!

Instructions: Cut a 6" x 6" light blue card base and adhere the 5.75" x 5.75" Celebrate the Season paper panel. Stamp 4 large poinsettias, 2 small poinsettias, snowman, and the holly leaves with black ink. Cut these out with the coordinating die. Color the poinsettias with wisteria chalk ink and the leaves with new sprout and teal zeal around the edges. I colored the snowman with a mixture of Teal Zeal and Wisteria, I colored with finger sponge daubers and dove blenders. I also put dries clear glue over the entire body of the snowman and then sprinkled with crystal glitter. Watch this video https://youtu.be/Q8Mj-EfcDvs to learn how to shape the poinsettias. Use the two layers of the large decorative snowflake die and cut them out of white cardstock, this will create this white decorative piece. Glue a piece of clear cardstock behind the center opening. Glue the frosty in the center of the card. Stamp the snowflakes in the midnight blue ink and heat emboss with bridal embossing powder. Cut them out with the coordinating die and glue the smallest ones around the snowman. Add a ring of foam dots to the decorative snowflake with the clear cardstock and before you completely adhere it to the top of the snowman, dump in the gala glitz and this will create your shaker card. Assemble the poinsettias and snowflakes as shown. Stamp the sentiment. Add glitter as desired with the dries clear glue and the fine metal tip.

Watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8Mj-EfcDvs for shaping tips and techniques on the poinsettia flower and holly leaves.
Instructions: To create this Triple Easel Card, you need to cut the white cardstock into three pieces - one 4 1/2" x 9", one 4" x 8" and one 3 1/2" x 7". Fold each in half. Using the 3 largest sets of scalloped circles dies in your set, place the die so that part of the die is off the folded edge. Run these through your die cutter to create a scalloped shape card. Now you will fold the top part of this little scalloped circle in half (this creates the easel for each card). Adhere the bottoms of the three scalloped circles together to form your card. Now you will need to die cut some more to decorate your card. I cut/embossed the three corresponding scalloped circles out of white cardstock and three smaller circles out of patterned paper to mat onto my circles. (See sample.) Adhere your patterned paper and scalloped cardstock together and then using scor-tape adhere to the easels on your card.
To decorate this easel card, I stamped the smaller snowman onto white cardstock using Tuxedo Black memento ink and colored it using the Dove Blender pen & Teal Zeal/Sweet Plum memento ink. I colored the bells and his carrot nose with alcohol markers. I die cut the snowman with the matching die. I fussy cut some Christmas packages from the paper collection and adhered the snowman with the packages onto the middle easel. I stamped the small poinsettias from the Celebrate the Season collection onto white cardstock using Sweet Plum ink and die cut them using the matching dies. I also stamped the wreath image onto moss green cardstock using green ink and die cut the wreath with the matching die. I adhered the wreath onto the first easel using 3d foam squares. I added the poinsettias at the top of the wreath and added rhinestones in the middle of the flowers. I die cut the snowflake using white cardstock and adhered that onto the last easel. I fussy cut the sentiment from the paper collection and adhered that into place using 3d foam squares. I added sparkle to the whole card using a sparkle marker and added a bow of ribbon to complete the project.

Something to adhere the pieces of patterned paper to. Cut a piece of the light blue patterned paper to 1" x 12" and adhere to the top of the cardstock. Cut a piece of light blue patterned paper that is 3" x 12" and adhere to the bottom of the layout.

Adhere this strip to the top of the layout. Cut a strip of the glitter paper that is 1" x 12" and adhere to where the patterns at the bottom of the layout meet.

Using the Snow Kissed Flakes and Tags Die, cut 2 large white snowflakes, cut 2 large snowflake backgrounds from navy cardstock. Stamp and die cut a variety of snowflakes, all shapes and sizes using navy ink.
Using my circle punch, I cut out 3 circles from the navy circle patterned paper. Adhere one on either side of the layered border and one in the middle. Cut off whatever is left hanging over the edge of the layout. Add small snowflakes to the middle of each circle, I added a gem to the small snowflake in the middle circle. Layer your large snowflakes and adhere to the border as well. I added buttons in the middles, and gems all over.
Find and cut out the small journal block at the top of my layout. Die cut the light blue mini tag using the Luggage and Tags Die.

Instructions: Cut 5 1/2" x 11" white card stock for your card base. Score and create a crisp fold at 5 1/2". The base layer was cut from blue card stock and measures 5 1/4" x 5 1/4". For the scenic background, I selected a paper with spruce trees and a small snowman that would match Frosty. The designer paper was cut at 5" x 5". Frolicking Frosty was stamped on X-Press It card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black Dye Ink. (Memento Ink is compatible with Copic Markers and will not discolor the nibs.)
The image was colored with Copic Alcohol Ink Markers. I used the following color combinations - G40, YG61, YG63, YG39, C3, C5, C7, C9, YR20, YR24, B0000, B000, B21 and a touch of R20 to the cheeks. I speckled the image with opaque white ink to look like snowflakes. The image was die cut using the Frolicking Frosty and Spruce Die.
I masked the image on the designer paper with a Post-It Note and stamped some spruce trees with Weathered Wood Distress Ink. I created dimension by using a "stamp off" technique. The tree was stamped and then stamped a second and third time in different areas without re-inking the stamp. This will allow some trees to look like they are in the distance. I used an opaque white ink pen and dotted the trees in areas to look like snow.
The layers were adhered with double sided tape. Frosty was popped up on the paper with dimensional foam dots. For a little added bling - I used Designer Adhesive - Dries Clear Glue and dotted it in the sky. I then added white and blue Gala Glitz.

Instructions: This box is 6" X 6". Cut one piece of cardstock 8" X 8" and one piece of cardstock at 8 1/16" X 8 1/16". Score both pieces at 1" around all four sides. Glue the bottom piece together and set aside. Now working on the top piece, cut a circle in the middle of the card, then cut out a snowflake and cut off until there is only a short piece left. Glue it so that it makes a grid for the circle cut out. Next take a piece of blue cardstock and cut a circle in it. Place it behind the cut out on the top part of the box and glue the piece of the snowflake between the blue and the white so the cut part is hidden. Cut another piece of blue cardstock to fit the inside bottom part of the box and glue it down. Next I found an image of the sleigh on one of the card fronts and cut it out using the circle die again. Glue this so it is showing behind the circle on the box top. I used hot glue to apply some bling around the circle just to give it a festive look.
I fussy cut the little snowman and ornaments on another card front and glued it to the top of the box. Next stamp the little snowman onto watercolor paper and color using the Zig markers and the iridescent Medium. Once it dried, I glued it to the corner piece and fussy cut a sentiment out of the paper. Stamp, emboss and cut out the trees: add glitter to the front of the trees and then use dimensional tape to adhere to the top of the box. When I embossed the snowflakes, I added some glitter to the embossing powder and then embossed and cut out. I decided where I wanted the snowflakes to go and then used dimensional tape to adhere them.

Watch this video https://youtu.be/Gnaj5vc8_b0 to learn how to create DIY treat boxes.
Instructions: Start by die cutting the Gift box die 2 times out of White card stock. Using a piece of ribbon for the hinge, place the 2 boxes face down with the open ends facing to the middle and the closed ends on the top and bottom. Apply glue to the back of the boxes and using a wide piece of ribbon attach the ribbon so it spans the length of the box centered on the seam between the 2 box pieces. When the glue dries this will give you a easy operating hinge. To finish off the box, cut panels from the Snow Kissed Paper Collection 1/4" smaller and center on the box panels as shown.
The outside of the box can be finished anyway you desire :) Here I decided to show you two possible ways.
The first way was using the Snow Kissed Flakes and Tag Die. The die outer piece was die cut from Black card stock and the inner layer out of glitter paper. After adhering the 2 layers together, glue to just the bottom box to allow the box to open. Finish with a tag from the Snow Kissed Paper Collection die cut with the Luggage and Tags die and a few of the small snowflakes stamped with white ink on blue cardstock and heat embossed with bridal embossing powder.
The second way is using the Frolicking Frosty Cling Stamp Set. The Frolicking Frosty Cling Stamp Set was stamped on White cardstock and die cut using the matching die and then colored using watercolor pencils. The snow effect on the cute little snowman was created with DecoArt snow writer and lightly dusted with crystal glitter.
