Sweet Snowflakes

Christmas has passed. But winter is still here. So here is a frosty snowflake card you can send to people who didn't get a Christmas card from you (yet).

 

I used a very smooth cardstock for my base and added white embossing powder to my Mini Retro Flakes and Mini Fancy Flakes. Then I went in with a large dot stamp to fill in the spaces. I love the way it made such a soft background.

My next addition was the sentiment block wrapped in a little bit of twine. And to top everything off, out came a few buttons for some of the flakes.

Simple card...yet packs some punch.

Gelly Gem Ornaments

Need a few cards for the really special people on your list? What could be better than shiny Christmas ornaments?

 I used thin ruled dies to cut out my ornaments and the bows. The green one is made from suede paper, but the red ones are made from Gelly Gem Roll Ups. I love that they can be cut with my dies. When you have plenty of dies, it is wonderful to find new media they can cut!

Who wouldn't enjoy this sparkly card? What can you make with Gelly Gem Roll Ups? We would love to see!

Gingerbread Fun!

It's that time of year again! We all love making cards, so why not make them really special for those you love. This card looks complex, but really it is super simple to put together.

I embossed the Mini Fancy Flakes and the Mini Retro Flakes onto white cardstock and then added a bit of blue chalk to highlight them. Next I stamped and paper pieced the house from the Gingerbread House set. I had a few areas left to color in with my Copic markers. Using the same set, I embossed the green cardstock trees in white and then added some bling to complete my scene. And don't forget the border around the house made with red Gelly Gem Roll Ups! My final addition was the embossed banner. Let it Snow!!

My name is Susie Cannon Moore and you can find me at http://www.TheDiesHaveIt.com every single day. I am married to my soul mate Randall and between us we have five grown children - four boys and one girl. We are also blessed to have five wonderful grandchildren, three boys and two girls. We live in a small country town – Maypearl, Tx.

I have been paper crafting all my life…but started scrapbooking seriously in 1998. It has been full throttle ever since. My motto is, “A day without scrapbooking? Not if I can help it”. And I’ve tried to live by that all these years.

I have been published in Paper Crafts Magazine, Just Steampunk Magazine and also have been on HGTV’s Crafter’s Coast to Coast. What an experience!

I love to scrapbook my family, do mini books mostly as gifts, and card making is a passion I have embraced for years. I make tons of cards, do some paper scrapbooking layouts and also love to scrapbook digitally.

I will share with you just a few of my recent projects:

 

I love to make cards using stamps and Copic markers.

 

 

Sometimes I am lucky enough to do custom invitation work.

 

And finally, this is a digital layout I did of our most recent grandchild.

I hope you have enjoyed these projects. Can't wait to share more with you.

Susie
