Three Wise Snowmen


Here is a CASE'd card from Kendra's gallery at SCS for the Featured Stamper Challenge - FS93. I really like how well the snow shows up with these colors.

Snowflake Pin/Ornament


This snowflake pin/ornament was created by pressing the rubber stamp into Sculpey Clay to make an impression. After I baked it (and let it cool), I filled in the cracks using Perfect Pearls and embellished with Stickles Glitter Glue for sparkle. (OK...I could've done a better job trimming the snowflake....lol) I think I may have also run it across my silver pigment ink pad and rubbed some of it off too. Just use your imagination and have fun with it!

Winter/Christmas Ornament & Pins




As I mentioned, here are some Sculpey Clay pins/ornaments with a Christmas/Winter theme. I used Sculpey Clay and ran it through a clay machine (looks like a pasta maker) to get the clay flat. I used Noir Black Palette Ink and stamped my images onto the clay. For the snowflake, I just used a stamp without ink and pressed it into the clay. I used my small scissors and and a craft knife to trim them and put them onto a cookie sheet. I baked the clay in the oven as directed at 275° for 15 minutes. I let the clay cool and then decorated them.

Each pin/ornament has a separate post with details:

I made a cute little penguin as well. You can see him here:

Snowman Nativity

Here is a card to help get you ready for the winter. This card is based on a sketch comes from my upline, Heather Scott. I used Reflection Blue Palette Ink for the snowflakes and actually stamped some clear embossed flakes in white, but they don't show up that well. I did use some non-TAC products like the Aleene's Glitter Snow and the Ranger Puffs Embossing Powder, but I couldn't resist adding some texture to the card.

Holiday Stamped Gift Tin


Here's an inexpensive gift for someone that enjoys baking or you can fill it with cookies for the non-baker! A "Cookie Mix in a Jar" would complete it.

Supplies:

Ornamental Snowflakes
Ginger Joy - Vintage stamp set available until November 30th.
Staz-On Cotton White Opaque Ink
Icicle Stickles Glitter
Merry Wishes Paper
Metal Tin (I got mine from the Dollar Tree)

Here's a tip for stamping on rounded surfaces. Cut up one of the plastic containers that your unmounted stamp set came in and use that as your acrylic block. It will allow you to bend the stamp around the tin.
