A Warm and Toasty Holiday

Happy Friday!  It's Jeanne today with a card that made my mouth water while creating it!  S'mores bring back many of good memories for me - from Girl Scout camp when I was young to sitting in front of our fireplace and making them when our girls were little.

This card was fun and easy to create.  Starting with a sketch is always a time saver and I found one on Splitcoaststampers.

I cut three pieces of cardstock and paper.  First I cut an A2 size panel cut from Crumb Cake,  I then used two different patterns and cut a rectangle using the second largest of the Nested Stitched Scalloped Rectangle dies and a square using the middle of the Nested Stitched Scalloped Square dies.  I found this paper in my stash and although it's not Christmas, it fits the theme perfectly.

I used Distress Oxide ink in Vintage Photo to antique all the edges and then I heat embossed the sentiment with dark brown embossing powder.

For my marshmallow snowman and s'more cookie I cut all the pieces from white cardstock.  I used markers to color the nose, hat, scarf and chocolate.  I also antiqued all the edges of these pieces.  After all, s'mores should be toasted!

Finally I popped up my snowman using foam dots.

Thanks for visiting today!  I hope you have a fun and creative weekend!

 

 

Holiday Hugs

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I'm sharing a holiday card with one of the newest releases in the online store.  There are 4 new die releases with a variety of dies for the upcoming holiday season.  The best part is they are all currently on sale!

I started playing with the latest Christmas die release and cut out the pieces from the Snowman Smore die set. The tags are from the Mail Tag Set.

I embossed a piece of kraft card stock with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder.  I selected a red card base for a pop of color.

The embossed card panel was flipped over to the "debossed" side and inked on the edges.  The panel was then layered on the card base.  The finished piece looks more like a graham cracker than the embossed side.

Next, the three tags were tied together with some twine and adhered on my card base.  I offset the tags a bit so each of the colored tags would show just a bit.  The twine brought all of the colors together beautifully!

The Snowman Smore was centered on the top tag fitting perfectly as the focal point of my card. 

The sentiment was stamped on a hand cut flag and adhered on the bottom edge of my card.  The sentiment was perfect for the sweet snowman who appears to have his arms out for a holiday hug!

Here are the dies used on my card, available in the store:
