Snow Crystal

 I am always drawn to detailed snowflake stamps and this large one, Snow Crystal,  from Stampin Up is just beautiful!  Because of it's size, it fills up the whole card front.  It's especially easy to use in my stamp platform.  I inked it in all blue and stamped once and it was perfect.    I found the cute little sentiment from the Snowman Magic set to make a simple thank you card.  

You can see this set and many more on my SU page at www.barbaraking.stampinup.net

Aspen Tree Dies

I love this Aspen Tree die from Stampin Up. I made a fall card with the beautiful Texture Chic background DSP and added some leaves cut from the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper, which reminds me of vintage mercury glass.

You will soon see a similar card with a Christmas theme.

I'd love to hear what you think about this card!

After a long break from blogging, I am so happy to be back highlighting my cardmaking and papercraft projects. I'd love it if you would follow me and share this page with your friends.

The card I'm featuring today is a quick and easy one made with just 1 stamp set called Soft Seedlings. I inked it up with an orange color ink first, Pumpkin Pie, and then added the darker Cajun Craze around the edges of the leaves. Before I stamped, I blended in the darker ink with a blending brush so there were no lines where the two colors met. Simple and easy! I am really drawn to leaf images and this versatile stamp also makes a beautiful sympathy card and Thanksgiving card. I hope you enjoy it!
