Christmas Combo - Easy Frosty Evergreen Road

 

I made 8 of these Christmas cards to give to kids in my Sunday School. 

I tried to make something simple, yet nice.

 

I combined 4 stamp sets to make this scene and I used the stamp-a-ma-jig to line them up:

- Road to Happiness (car)

- Frosty Friends (snowman)

- Evergreen (tree)

- Easy Events (merry Christmas)

 

I added a torn edge and an embossed edgelit edge with some patterned paper.

Frosty Friends AMBUSH

I made this card for the layout at Retro Sketches.
The colors are from Dynamic Duos - Marina Mist and black.

I love this "Frosty Friends" set.  I think it is very versatile.  Here I only used part of the image and cut it out.  I embossed dots and punched out some snowflakes from "Snow Swirled".
This Black & White gingham is my favorite ribbon EVER!  I still have a little bit of it left.

My daughter asked to make cards with me.  She made a lovely and creative card for me and while we were making she said "Mom, we're having a lot more fun than the boys!"  (My husband and son were outside).  So cute and priceless!

Frosty Friends - combos

From the moment I saw this stamp set (Frosty Friends) I knew it would be so versatile!  For this card I used only 2 of the snowpeople and cut out around them and ripped the snowy hills.  First I stamped my Evergreen stamp (also very versatile and great for pairing with other sets!)

 

The layout is from Retrosketches. 

The colors are from Dynamic Duos - more mustard and so saffron.

 

I love ripping the paper and adding glitter to make it look snowy!

This was the card I made yesterday with this Frosty Friends set.  See how well it works in the car from Road to Happiness!

 

The layout is from Technostamper.

I hope from these ideas you can discover new ways of looking at your stamps to make them more VERSATILE!  Omit part of the image, and pair it with another image.

Merry Snowmen - PPA layout

 

I need to make a lot of Christmas cards!!

I love this snowman image, I just used part of it (I also didn't use the reindeer horns).

 

This great layout is from Pals Paper Arts.

 

I used the top note for a little piece under the red layer.  I used twine and some rhinestones, a bit of coloring and distressing.

The patterned paper is from the new paper pack.  The colors are cherry cobbler, old olive, black and vanilla.

New Queen... QFTD135

 

My first time using this new Snowman stamp (Frosty Friends).  I colored the watercolor paper with watercolor crayons and blended with aqua painter.  I stamped the snowmen on white paper and cut all of them out (and snowballs).  The patterned paper is the new Festival of Prints Designer paper stack.

I also added some glitter on the snow.

 

This card is for Queen Claudia!  Come play along with the Queen for the Day Challenge on Splitcoast.
