For my first card, I created a serene winter scene.  I cut a green pattern paper with one of the Cross Stitched Nesting Slimline dies.  The scene was created by first using one of the Embossed Edge Nesting Slimline dies to cut light blue cardstock.  

The image diecuts were made with the Crafter's Essentials Winter Dies and I used the following WOW Embossing Powders:

Snow slopes:  White Puff Powder

Trees: White Puff Powder

Deer: Provencal Powder (in the Trio Riviera collection)

Sentiment: Rich Gold Regular Powder

This card was so fun to put together!  I cut bright red cardstock using one of the Zig Zag Nesting Slimline dies and green pattern paper with one of the Cross Stitched Nesting Slimline dies.  

For the Christmas ornaments, I used theWOW Embossing Powders listed below - and added some Rich Gold Regular Powder .  I added black twine to the circles and staggered the ornaments and finished them with black twine bows and jingle bells.

I then added this adorable gnome from the Christmas Gnome set.

Sew Perfect

Many years ago, I and several others moved to Ohio from NY with a company.  We were all pretty young and terribly homesick (and missing pizza, egg creams and knishes!)  The group started a bowling league, we had cookouts and celebrated birthdays together. One gal, Debbie, and I struck up a friendship and we decided to take sewing classes at a local Singer store.  While our friendship has lasted 38 years, our sewing hobby, well...that only lasted a few years:)

These adorable new Pink & Main goodies reminded me of Debbie and my sewing adventure! My cards today feature the new Sewing stamp set and coordinating dies and Quilt Die both available in the new release on October 25th.

For the first card, I cut a pattern from Pumpkin Spice pattern paper with one of the Stitched Rectangle Set 1 dies for the background.  With the new Quilt Die, I cut dark brown cardstock for the 'frame' and then cut several patterns from Pumpkin Spice pattern paper, and inlaid the pieces into the 'frame'.

These sweet sewing images were embossed with WOW Metallic Gold Rich embossing powder and popped up with foam dots.

My next card follows the same recipe as the first, but I changed the colors using a dark brown cardstock for the base and cut ivory cardstock with the Quilt Die for the 'frame'.

The sentiments in the Sewing stamp set go so perfectly with the stamp set images.  My friend, Debbie, is going to get a kick out of receiving this one!
