Let it Snow

The Snow Burst bundle from Fun Stampers Journey is one of my Favorite stamps and Dies to make Handmade cards with during the Holiday and Winter season!  I thought I would pull it out and see if we could get Mother Nature to send us some cooler weather here in Maryland!


I used my Journey Grand to partially emboss the Yummy Dots folder and to die cut some of the smallest snowflakes in the Snow Burst Die set.


Finally I added some Tinsel Trim to my tag and Blue Skies sequins so that my card sparkled!

Happy Birthday Dahlias

Happy Monday Everyone!  I took a break from Christmas Cards to create this Happy Birthday Card using Fun Stampers Journey set, Dahlia Burst SS-0203.

I have never realize how much I love coloring until today.  I had not had a chance to pull out my Fun Stampers Journey Blending Solution and Re- inkers for a few weeks, and after I started coloring today, I just felt so relaxed.


 
I used the Whimsy Wall paper stamp, SS-0116 to add a touch of dimension behind the Dahlias.  The Sentiment is from the Sentimental Prints set, SS-0072,


If you would like to recreate this card yourself, you can purchase all of the supplies at www.funstampersjourney.com/cindybristow.

The actual card is available for purchase at https://www.etsy.com/shop/CindyCreativeJourney

Thanks for stopping by, and have a Merry Christmas!

Oh Deer

Today I am sharing a card I created using my brand new "Holiday Elements" Steel Rule Die.

I am in Love!!!!  You get the Deer Head, a Stocking, a Mitten and a Snowflake in the same die!!!  I have some major crafty projects coming up using this die.

I also just received  the "Knitted Houndstooth" background stamp and inked it up with Green Olive ink for the patterned paper.  This stamp is retiring at the end of December, so if you want it, get it while you can!


Thanks for stopping in,
Cindy

Cupcake Joy

Today I put another twist on Yummy &Delicious cupcake stamp set.


I combined it with the Snapshot Frames die set to create a Christmas card.  I like to get a lot of bang for my buck when I buy stamps, so if I can uses a stamp that screams birthday for other uses, I go for it!



I plan on using this stamp set for all the holidays thru out the year.  I challenge you to pull out your Yummy and Delicious set and show me some holiday creations!  Leave you pictures in a comment, or post them to my Cindy's Creative Journey Facebook page !

Merry and Bright Gift Card Envelope

I always need gift card holders around the holidays.  This year I wanted to create something a little different then your standard gift card holder.

 
I used a small paper bag and Fun Stampers Journey Winter Fresh paper pack PP-0018 to create this fun project.


 
There is a pocket for a gift card (or tag) and a larger pocket in the back for some more goodies!  These gift card holders would also work for co-workers gifts, a cookie in the back and a hot chocolate pack up front.





I have these finished gift card holders in my Etsy shop:  https://www.etsy.com/shop/CindyCreativeJourney
 
Or you can create them yourself with products from Funstampers Journey:  www.funstampersjourney.com/cindybristow

Beeautiful

Can't you just hear the bees buzzing around on this card?

 
 
I cased this card right out of the Fun Stampers Journey catalog, page 174 to be exact!  I fell in love with the dimension of the layers of honeycomb.

 
So when you fall into a creative slump, pick up your catalog and case away!
