Stampin! with Jaydee

Snowman - ATCAS #189

Happy Saturday. It's the fabulous Ceal's turn to host our AddictedtoCAS challenge this week and she has a very appropriate code word for us - especially as it's been snowing here for the last 36 hours! For my card, I pulled out an old Gerda Steiner stamp called Happy Snowman. I just love this little guy and he is such fun to color. I used Copic markers and prismacolor pencils to color him. I paired the image with the Postal Frames die from The Greetery. You can't tell me that this little guy doesn't make you smile! :-) I hope... Read more →

Sweet Ice Cream for Festive Friday and Freshly Made

Happy Thursday. I can't believe it's Thursday already! I made a quick card for the fabulous challenges across at Festive Friday - It's Ice Cream week! and FreshlyMadeSketches. Here's the inspo list from Festive Friday - I went with pink, brown and dry embossing. And here is the sketch from FreshlyMade, which I turned vertical instead of horizontal. I love the DSP that accompanies the new Sweet Ice Cream set from Stampin' Up! but when I played with it I realized it is a pretty intense pattern. My original intention had been to use some of it for the piece... Read more →

Opposites Attract - Just a Note - for Addicted to CAS #188

Happy Saturday! I'm excited to announce that today marks the return of the Addicted to CAS challenges after a short break last year. Today's challenge is from the fabulous Barb and this is the word that she has chosen. I chose to heat emboss the large sentiment and the details on the stamp and kept the colors to black and gold with a touch of red. I die-cut the outline of the large sentiment from The Greetery Opposites Attract stamp set three times and added those behind the original embossed and die-cut sentiment. I wanted the large sentiment to pop... Read more →
