Stamp Off Snowman Season Inspiration Challenge


 Hello crafting fans!  Today Susan, Buffy and I have an
Inspiration Challenge!


This picture gives lots of options for creating.  I even
see a heart in the background!

I picked out the snowman as my inspiration.  I love the
snowmen in the Snowman Season Stamp set on page 63.
I created a slim-line card (3x6), which works really well
with an oval focal image, that has been cut out with the 
Stitched Shapes Dies (page 183).   I colored the snowman
with Stampin' Blends and Wink of Stella.


Balmy Blue Glimmer paper was used for the sentiment,
(page 37 of the August -Dec 2020 Mini)

created with the Word Wishes Dies on page 183, as
well as some snowflakes.

Finally, I added a layer of Plaid Tidings DSP (page 57
of the August -Dec 2020 Mini).  This card would be awesome
for mass production, because much of it is cut out using dies.

I hope that you are enjoying our Inspiration Challenge
and can't wait for you to see the cards created by

Flight of Fancy on Plaid Tidings DSP


 I've mentioned before, that the Flight of Fancy 
(page 59 of the August - December 2020 Mini) is a
cute and versatile set.  Pairing it with the Plaid Tidings DSP
(page 57) is a natural combination and gives you the
Stampin' Blends coloring choices.  I added a strip of 
Brushed Metallic 12x12 Cardstock (page 45) and a bit of
Wink of Stella to glitz it up.

Stampin' Up! On Stage Cards


 This past weekend, Stampin' Up! held it's Online convention,
called OnStage.   Although we couldn't gather together in person,
it was a well organized event, with lots of stamping
demonstrations.  We also saw the upcoming Jan-June 2021
Mini and SAB catalogs.  I CANNOT WAIT!!

We were given card measurements and invited to stamp at home, during one of the demonstrations.
I didn't have any of the product recommended, so substituted
what I had.  In the sample above, I used
the Daisy Punch on page 166,
Plaid Tidings DSP on page 57 of the Holiday Mini,
and the Hippo and Friends Dies on page 176.



My second card features:
Peony Garden DSP on page 149,
Butterfly Gala set on page 79,
Butterfly Duet Punch on page 165,
Stitched So Sweetly Dies on page 179
