WARM & TOASTY

August 11, 2020

From summer flowers to warm and toasty winter! Only in the stamping world! I just couldn’t resist the snowman in the new Warm & Toasty stamp set(152615) that’s in the 2020 Aug-Dec Mini Catalogue!

Isn’t that the cutest snowman ever?! And, he can skate! I kept this card really clean and simple so that active snowman would stand out. His scarf was coloured with Stampin’ Write Markers, Shaded Spruce, Real Red and Seaside Spray. A background mat of Real Red sets him off along with the red in the “Tis the Season Designer Paper.

With this heat wave going on my thoughts have turned to cooler weather! Of course, the new Aug-Dec. Mini Catalogue has helped to inspire that “cool” train of thought.

So, why not an autumn-themed card?! I used the Forever Fern Bundle(154094) and teamed it up with a piece from the Gilded Autumn Specialty designer paper(153520) and a little shot of copper ribbon from the Basket Weave & Metallic ribbon combo pack(page 45 Mini Catalogue).

The layout comes from the new sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. There’s room for lots of interpretation with this one!

Today’s card is a simple wedding(or anniversary) card that features the Grace’s Garden stamp set and matching Garden Gateway Dies(151512).

I used the curved fence die for the base, added touches of Smokey Slate to give it an aged look and then topped it off with those trails of yellow roses. A simple greeting for the happy couple!

Using the wedding theme came from the latest challenge from The Paper Players.

Friday is here and if you’re celebrating, today is all about you! I haven’t used the Free As A Bird(149468) stamp set in a while so pulled it out for this card!

I used one of the patterns in the Forever Gold Laser-cut specialty paper and it is really hard to get a good picture of it. So, I moved it to another room with lots of sunlight!

This layout comes from The Paper Players challenge for this week and the gold piece worked perfectly for this sketch.

A special greeting was called for, so I added one from the Many Mates stamp set(152633). It has many great sentiments, so make sure to check it out.

Get Well

Comments

When I first saw the Back on Your Feet stamp set(149385), I just had to have it. The oh-so-cute critters make sending get better soon greetings are the best for putting a smile on the recipient’s face!

Awww, poor guy! I had a ton of fun with this card and, in my defence, the greeting is a little off-kilter because that poor little sloth doesn’t feel too well.

I used a few Stampin’ Blends to colour as well as the White Stampin’ Chalk Marker for the bandage!

The layout from CAS(E) this sketch was the starting point and I added a little help from the Toile Christmas stamp set and matching dies for the “branch”.

Here’s the list of products used.

I enjoy attending Cynthia’s card and scrapbook classes. Her studio is comfortable and bright. I really like the colour combinations she uses. She is very organized and does the prep work allowing you to concentrate on the techniques. She is very flexible, even if you want to make some changes to make the project “your own”. I highly recommend Cynthia as a demonstrator!

~~~Clara~~~

I really enjoy Cynthia’s creative skills and look forward to going to her classes and workshops. Cynthia always has fun and inspirational project ideas. She is always ready to lend a hand and help you where needed, if she doesn’t have an answer for you, she will do her best to find one ASAP. I would go to any one of her classes or workshops anytime for years to come.

I have attended her classes and they are very professional and well organized. I am always excited to share the projects she demonstrates with my customers after attending her classes. She puts a lot of thought and effort into planning her classes. I am very fortunate to have met Cynthia, and am looking forward to learning from her for many years to come. Thanks Cynthia....you are the best!!
