Happy Thursday
I hope everyone is toasty warm! We’ve been hit with a lot of cold air – not as cold as some, but definitely cold for us! For today’s Lindsay’s Stamp Stuff project, I have a couple of cute winter-themed cards and a little treat for you! 
But, before we get to the details, I wanted to let everyone know that Lindsay is having a phenomenal sale – buy any 2 kits get a 3rd one of your choice FREE! How awesome is that?!?! That means this is the perfect time to grab her Warm Winter and Winter Printables kits – and get a third one free (perhaps her new Calendar and Scrapbook Page Toppers?)! Woohoo!
Now, for my cards!
I created the 5×7 card base in Photoshop! The base layer is filled with dark green followed by having one of Jodiann’s fabulous Snow Styles applied. The center mat is light blue with the same style applied to it. Then a burgundy mat was added behind the blue one. Both mats have small frames added using SuperBladePro filters and presets from Meadows Studio. Once I had created the card, I added the snow people and sentiment from Lindsay’s Warm Winter set. I “pieced” and colored them in Photoshop (I used Di’s new Miscellaneous Textures on the “girl snow person’s” beret and scarf before printing. After printing, I added Glossy Accents (Ranger) to their eyes, mouths and buttons and Polar White Flower Soft to create snow along the bottom edge. Here’s a close-up:
Now for the next card:
I created the card base using the same process as above – with different colors of course! The fabulous cocoa mug and sentiment are also from Lindsay’s Warm Winter set. I pieced the mug using an awesome paper from Lindsay’s Winter Printables set and extended the candy can and marshmallows beyond the frame to added dimension; then printed my card (with an extra set of marshmallows and candy cane). I cut the candy cane and marshmallows out and adhered them with pop dots for extra dimension and then coated them with Glossy Accents for shine. The marshmallow bubbles in the mug were created with pearlescent fabric paint while I’m waiting for my Smooch to arrive!
Here’s a close-up:
Now for your treat – I have zipped the card bases for you and am offering them for free – please enjoy and leave a comment if you download!
