Hello everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas weekend! This is Berina here today, with a few New Year cards using some snowflakes in gold on red. 

For the first card, I used the Happy New Year sentiment die cut from Gina Marie Designs. I die cut the sentiment and some snowflakes from gold card stock. I used a bunch of different snowflake dies - Simon Says Stamp - Joy Snowflake, Divinity Designs - Snow Crystals and Spellbinders - Create A Flake 6. 

For the second card, I used the same set of dies, just a different layout. I just die cut a bunch of snowflakes using my SNAP and arranged them on the card base till I liked the layout. 

For the third card, I decided to use the sentiment stamp from Power Poppy - Glistening Paperwhites. Same snowflake dies, just a different orientation and layout. I inked the edges of the red card stock panel with a darker red ink for some variation.

Hello everyone!! This is Berina here today, with a Christmas card idea that you could easily make multiples of - just in time for sending Christmas cards. 

If you are like me, you are frantically looking for Christmas card designs that you make and send out 20's or more in a week or 2 at the max - that includes addressing and sealing the envelope as well. You are in the right place! This is 1 such design that I was able to make 20's in 3 - 4 days, working only a few hours every night, since I work during the day and have small kids. I first die cut all the greenery pieces I needed for this card - I used the Tim Holtz Mini Holiday Greens die set. These were perfect size for my A2 card. This set has a variety of greens, so I a bunch of different ones and cut them all in 1 pass on my SNAP. Next on to the poinsettia - this is a multi-step process. I stamped the poinsettia outline stamps from the Poinsettia & Holly Clusters - these stamps stamp out a few at a time, so it saves time (same with the dies as well). I stamped them with dark red ink on red cardstock to save time on coloring. Using a stamping platform helped speed up the process. I die cut all the poinsettia layers then and shaped them all with my embossing tool and foam mat. Then I adhered the layers to make the individual poinsettias and added prills for the center. Now comes the sentiment. I die cut the layers I used for the sentiment panel. All the layers are from Heartfelt Creations - Royal Elegance die set. The touch of gold adds just the right amount of elegance needed for this otherwise simple and almost flat card. I heat embossed the sentiment from Sunny Studios with gold embossing powder. I used a stamping platform for this step too. I stamp the sentiment on a panel and sprinkle embossing powder - I do this until I have a bunch ready to be heated and then I heat them all at once. This saves some time too. Now, all that's left is assembling them. I used foam tape for the sentiment panel and for the other pieces, I used liquid glue in a fine tip bottle. That's it! This card required the extra stamp for postage, but it's worth it, don't you think?

Hello everyone!! This is Berina here today, with a cute little treat basket, just in time for Christmas treats.

I used the Divinity Designs Bountiful Basket die to die cut the basket out of kraft card stock. It was pretty easy to do. It fit on my snap machine and was a breeze to cut. I needed 2 pieces of each die cut, and it was pretty easy to assemble. I stamped and die cut the Heartfelt Creations Poinsettia and shaped it with embossing tools. I die cut the greens using the Sizzix Mini Holiday Greens die set. I adhered the poinsettia and the greens on the basket and added some Nuvo drops for some berries.

Now, I added some Nuvo drops bottles and Stickles bottles to show you the size of the basket. Now, this is a basket I would love to receive ;)

How did you like this basket today? Please do let me know in the comments below. Thank you for stopping by. Have a great Festive Season and a wonderful New Year!

Greetings all you beautiful makers! Desiree here with you, sharing a birthday card I made,
It features the Dulce, paper collection by Frank Garcia, for Prima. It is beautiful!!!
The solid papers used are Recollections, by Michaels.

To begin I took the papers I chose, and used my dies to make my element shapes and card
front using my Craftwell SNAP machine.



After I finished placing my die cuts, and embellishments, I glued it all down.
I glued down my cotton candy die cuts, then it was time to stamp my sentiment on on.
I used an old Fiskars stamp set from my stash. It is an oldie but good!


As always I hope you were inspired in some way, please do not be a stranger and visit again soon! Best wishes and I hope you have an amazing day!
