hi there!  i have a simple card to share today.  it started out as a christmas card in my mind, but ended up being a "happy new home" kind of card!  i started with four pane a2 window card, then stamped a little living room scene in the background.  added the sentiment and some washi tape and it was complete!  all stamps are by unity.

have a good weekend and hope you can spend some time getting crafty!

Mowlene

"When it is 105 degrees in the shade, I don't care what the neighbors say."

Isn't Mowlene a hoot? LOL When I saw this stamp, I wanted to have a little scene with a window and some grass. I pulled out a Four Pane Window A2 Card and then I stamped Mowlene and colored her with Copic markers before cutting her out. I wanted to have some "grass" for her to mow, so I pulled out my scissors and just started cutting. I crimped some yellow paper and adhered it to the inside of this die cut window card so they look like mini blinds. The "stucco" look of the house comes from stamping Holly's Tattered Background on the card base.

Think of all the fun scenes you can make with this window card. I've made tons of different cards - snowy winter scenes, soft pastel springy scenes, warm fall scenes with leaves everywhere, and now a "scorching" summer scene. LOL What a versatile die cut card for any season! :-)

Vintagie Valentines

Hi all!

Becky here to share some Valentine’s Day ideas with you! 

I really only needed to do one card, but I got a little carried away! So, you get three ideas from me today!!

The first project I wanted to share is the adorable Milk Carton! I know, my last project was with the Milk Carton too, but I just adore it!!

This one’s pretty simple – I cut out some vintage Valentine images & adhered them to the sides of the white Milk Carton die from Creative Cuts & More! I plan to fill it with M&M’s for my daughter to give to her teachers next month!

Next, I used the Four Pane Window Scalloped Card to create another fun vintage Valentine,

After cutting out the vintage images of the kids, I stamped a Love definition onto a Petite Vintage Label; inked all the edges & adhered them to the front.

Inside, I used a Small Square Filagree label cut in pink velvet to “frame” the girl behind the window. I stamped a few little hearts in the corner with versafine ink.

Last, I did a rather funky card with the Filagree Rectangle Scallop Card & this fun Palmistry stamp by Tim Holtz…

After stamping the palm & cutting it out, I used another stamp by Unity (Ippity) Stamp Co. for the sentiment on another great Antique Label.

That’s it for me today!

Don’t forget to come back on the 19^th for our monthly hop for even MORE Valentine’s Day ideas from our team of talented designers!!

Fuzzy Snowman scene card

Don't you just love these A2 Four Pane Window cards from Creative Cuts and More? I've had a blast creating a bunch of cards with these. Here is my latest creation with a Fuzzy Snowman scene.

The A2 Four Pane Window card is die cut from Carob Cream Bazzill Smoothies cardstock, and I stamped some white snow all over the front. The snowman is a die cut from Creative Cuts and More as well, and I covered it with glue and then smooshed some Polar White Flower Soft into the glue until I had him covered, except for the hat. I used a black copic marker to color in the hat. After the glue was dry and the Flower Soft was set, I squirted on some black stickles for the eyes and the buttons. The mouth was done with a tiny sharpie marker.

See the little twigs for the snowman's arms? I found a scrap piece of brown cardstock and just freehandedly cut out the twigs. I used more scrap pieces of cardstock to create the little sign next to the snowman. :-)

The wreath was colored with copic markers and then dotted with some red stickles. I used a clear stickles on the torn paper down below for the snow drifts, and I created some icicles across the top of the card with the same clear stickles. Lots of waiting around for things to dry, but it was worth it. :-)

Season's Greetings House

I have been so inspired by the A2 Four Pane Window cards from Creative Cuts and More, I just couldn't resist trying to create a house with this. The four pane window card is die cut from Carob Cream Bazzill Smoothies cardstock, and I also asked for a snowman die cut (using Glass Slipper Bazzill Bling Cardstock). I have had such a great time being a Guest Designer for Creative Cuts and More this month.

You would not believe how easy and how fun it was to put this house together. For the roof, I punched out some small circles from an olive cardstock and glued them down on a triangle of cardstock. I wanted some snow on the roof, so I smooshed a white inkpad across the little circles. I added the sentiment with a little cluster of holly leaves and berries. The little red berries as well as the black buttons on the snowman are some cute little skittles that Creative Cuts and More sent to me with my order.

For the snow down on the ground, I tore some white cardstock, and applied stickles to the upper edge of each snow layer before gluing the layers together. The snowman's hat was colored with a black copic marker, and I dotted in the eyes and mouth with the marker.

Inside the window, I adhered a tree that I stamped and cut out of designer paper. I used a red designer paper that sort of looks like wallpaper behind the tree for a festive and Christmassy feel. The star is just freehandedly cut out with scissors and then covered with yellow stickles. The tree needed some ornaments, so I used some tiny little rhinestones so they look like little glass balls on the tree.

Why don't you go check out Creative Cuts and More to get started on your Christmas cards? They have all kinds of different die cut cards to inspire your creativity. I hope this Holiday House card has inspired you today. :-)
