Warm Winter Wishes!

Hello, crafty friends!  Today, I am sharing a fun wintery Memory Dex Card!  The Artful Angel Design Team was asked to use a previously released stamp set to create a winter-themed projects, and I just had to color up the beautiful reindeer from the Santa's Crew stamp set again! 

I paired this beauty with some of the gorgeous, patterned papers from an Echo Park 6 x 6 Paper Pad in my stash. 

I added a strip of silver glitter washi tape across the center of the dex card and heat embossed my sentiment. 

Lastly, I added some clear glass bubbles and a silver bow. 

I love this Dex Card and will display it proudly! 

Thanks so much for spending a few minutes with me!

Have YoursELF a Merry Christmas!

Happy, happy Friday, friends!  I don't know about you, but I feel like the holidays are coming way too quickly.  I am not ready... not even a little bit!  So, I decided to make this fun card for a special co-worker!   

My crafty friend, @StamprGrl did a video a while back showing how to make the Center-Step fold.  I always thought it would be so much more difficult than it is!  I am so excited to finally know how to make this fold.  It was perfect to make this adorable elf card for a special co-worker. 

I colored up the elves from the new Artful Angel Santa's Crew stamp set, cut them out and set them aside to create the card. 

I decorated the card using some retired patterned paper from Stampin' Up.  I have been hoarding this pack of paper because I just love it... but I am trying to be better about using it.   I wanted some sparkle on the main panel, so I used the Snowflake Bling from Eyelet Outlet and paired it with Snowflake Brads on the side panel.  What elf card could be complete without Elf Brads?  I thought that they were perfect on either side of my sentiment.

If you aren't familiar with this fun-fold, it is free-standing, and I just love it!  It was so easy to decorate the inside of the card too!

Who's Ready For the Holidays? Not This Girl!

Hi friends!  It is Release Day over at Artful Angel and we are celebrating with an Instagram Hop! 

 I created a really fun card to share with you, starring the Santa's Crew Stamp Set. This set is really fun and really versatile, as it can be used not only for holiday cards, but for winter cards, which is something that I look for in my stamp sets!  

I colored up the beautiful reindeer with Copic Markers (listed below) and cut him out to set about making a Circle Gate Fold Card. 

I started with a base of 100# red cardstock, paired with Stampin' Up Garden Green cardstock along with some retired DSP from Stampin' Up.  I have been hoarding this paper because I love it so much, but it was perfect to be paired with this gorgeous image.

I embossed one of the sentiments from the brand-new Big Christmas Stamp Set in white and created a banner out of it.  I adhered the banner behind the deer and popped the deer up on foam squares.  I added a loopy bow of red and white metallic embroidery thread and finished up with some White AB Glass Bubbles from Kat Scrappiness.

Colors Used: 

E29, E25, E23 E21

E55, E53, E51, E50

W6, W4, W2, W0
