Penguin Gel Card

December Stamp Club is tomorrow night!  I tried to make some of the projects Christmas but also projects that could be adapted if the ladies wanted to use them for something else.  I thought this one could be a winter birthday for most anyone.  It features an old technique, but one I have never done with the club before.  If you don't have treat cups but still want to do a snow globe, how about making a gel card?  I used the 1 3/4 circle punch for the hole, attached a cello bag of hair gel and Dazzling Diamonds to the back of the Bashful Blue and adhered it to the top of the Real Red.  Do you recognize the piece I used for the base?   It's the balloon basket from Sweet Centers.

Snowy Hello

We made this at my January Stamp-a-Stack, and since it is snowing right now, I thought this would be a good day to post it.  It uses the stamp set Hello Again that I got free for attending convention, and it is a great little set to cover all the seasons.  The coordinating wheel, Retro Remix, (also a convention freebie) is a perfect background for most of the stamps in the set (unless you are not using a single heart or flower).    We used Heat and Stick Powder to add some glittery snowflakes, but you have to look pretty carefully in this picture to see them.   

Supplies:  Hello Again Stamp Set, Whisper White, Night of Navy, and Bashful Blue cardstock, Bashful Blue, Night of Navy and VersaMark ink, 2 oval punches, Heat and Stick Powder, Dazzling Diamonds, Heat Gun

The More the Merrier in Soft Subtles

This is a color combination that doesn't shout Christmas, but I find that I usually make at least one snowman card a year with Certainly Celery and Bashful Blue.  This particular card has been well loved.  I did a few of these for my convention swap and have done them at some of my events.  Those snowmen are just great for coloring and making them your own.  Add some Dazzling Diamonds with your Two-way glue pen and instant snow!

The More the Merrier

We made this card in stamp club this month. It could be a Christmas card or just about anything else! We used the Top Note die and the Big Shot to create the blue piece. With the large oval punch, we punched an oval in the center and put a piece of clear, packing tape, sticky side up (so the sticky is coming through the hole) on the bottom. After dipping the sticky side in Dazzling Diamonds glitter, we stuck the snowmen on the back.
