Do you like making snowman cards? This is the suite for you – the Let It Snow Suite – with adorable snowmen, a Snowman Builder punch – and the cutest Let It Snow Designer Series Paper! Here are six quick & easy card ideas to inspire you!

#1.Two squares, cut out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits and set at rightangles, make the focal point for this card. Isn’t this a great saying “Hoping this season builds heartwarming memories”?

2. Look at those fun felt accessories! They are part of the Let It Snow Embellishment Kit. I had to add the “have a cozy Christmas from the Merry Moose stamp set because that snowman definitely looks cozy!

3. Circles of different sizes, all from the Stitched Framelits Dies, made this quick card.

4. Isn’t this the cutest “wrapped up” snowman – from the Let It Snow Designer Series Paper? He inspired me to use the words “may this special season be wrapped in love & joy”from the Perfectly Plaid stamp set.

5. This snowman was punched out of the Let It Snow DSP with the Snowman Builder Punch. He is already glittered – so the Sparkle Glimmer Paper is perfect for the snow!

6. Tim’s version using the Snowman Builder Punch – and the shiny enamel shapes from the Let It Snow Embellishment Kit. He has been experience vision problems – so I think he transferred his experience to this guy!

A messy but fun way to add vibrant color to your handmade cards is to use Pigment Sprinkles!

These three variations with the Silhouette Scenes stamp set are all done in the same way.

The difference is the amount of Pigment Sprinkles and the amount of water sprayed from the Stampin’ Up! Spritzer.

This card using the Colorful Seasons stamp set and the Seasonal Layers Framelits features an aged brick wall. To make the wall, the Watercolor Paper was first “painted” with the Pigment Sprinkles and the Spritzer. After that dried, it was put through the Brick & Mortar Embossing Folder.

Watch these cards being made by going to 9:00.

Two different quick and easy party favors to make today! One is a cute doghouse using the Happy Tails stamp set and the Dog Builder Punch – inspired by Jarmila Vik. The second one uses the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper.

Let’s start with the dog house. Who do you know who loves dogs – I’m sure your list is long! Wouldn’t this be a fun idea – maybe it celebrates getting a new dog or a get well card for a dog.

….or use the same idea and turn it into a bird house, or a regular house. How about a little celebration for someone who just move into the neighborhood, who just purchased a new home … or even a welcome home little gift. (I bring that up because we received two “welcome home” cards after returning from Greece! That was a first and we were so touched by that.

These are the supplies, but they can easily be changed to fit the candy (or other little gift) you are using.

After scoring the long piece at 1″ intervals, fold that piece up into a box and seal.

Trim the top edges of the square to resemble a roof and run that through the Pinewood Planks 3D embossing folder.

For the roof we are using the Corrugated 3D folder.

Tip: Some of the thicker folders like this one tend to tear the paper. To prevent that, spritz the cardstock first so the fibers are pliable – then run through the folder. It will dry quickly with no tears!

You can see how I attached the roof on the video below.

Now for the Bird Ballad Candy Holder

For this candy, this is the pattern I used, but be sure to watch the video to see how to change it for other candies or gifts!

Turn the box over and attach Tear ‘N Tape to the end section.

Roll up the box shape and attach.

Use the Detailed Trio Punch on the top corners of both the basic box and the larger piece of Designer Series Paper.

Attach the two pieces of DSP and decorate the box as desired.

This is Tim’s take on a party favor box! The Over the Moon stamp set was just made for Mild Duds!

Take some Scalloped Notecards & Envelopes and some Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper and make this little gift in minutes!!!

It will hold photos – and you can include some stories to go with them – or several gift cards – or candy or notes from several people – or whatever your imagination can hold.

For the last few years our kids have given my mom gift cards for different restaurants for her birthday. Wouldn’t this be a fun way to package them?

Or make it a mini photo album of a trip you shared with a friend, or for the grandparents filled with photos of the grandkids.

Start with four Scalloped Note Cards with Envelopes. Insert the cards into the envelopes with the pretty scalloped edges showing. This makes it easy to slip gift cards or other gifts in each one.

On three of the envelopes, attach Tear ‘N Tape or other strong adhesive.

Tear off the adhesive and attach that flap right under the bottom of one of the other envelopes.

Repeat, leaving the top envelope being the one without adhesive.

Fold up in an accordian fold, wrap a ribbon around it and decorate.

Its ready to fill!
