A Subtle Sparkle of Joy
The Flourish Snowflake die from Simon Says Stamp’s DieCember® release adds texture and quiet sparkle to this design. I repeated the die for a layered background and paired it with glitter cardstock to let the shimmer peek through just enough for a wintery glow.
A Sweet Season
This week’s AALL & Create Guest Design card is full of festive charm! A cozy red-clad character stands in a snowy scene with a sweet winter sky and a sprinkle of shimmer to capture the season’s magic.
A Little Journal Joy
Add a burst of color to your journaling routine! These playful, reusable embellishments feature the new Journal Jamboree stamp set from the Simon Says Stamp DieCember® release. Designed to clip, fold, and magnetize in place, they make journaling as fun as crafting a card.
A Caroling Cutie in Winter Blues
This playful winter card features a sweet caroler layered over a vintage sheet-music collage panel, complete with a glittery snowbank and a tiny decorated tree. A touch of white paint softens the collage background so the character shines in her winter blues. Wishing you a wonderfully creative day.
Joy to You (and a Wink of Winter Magic)
This playful AALL & Create card transforms a non-winter character into a holiday cutie using traditional colors and die-cut snowflakes. A frosty blended frame, sparkly snowdrift, and cheerful speech bubble sentiment bring the whole snowy scene to life. Have a wonderfully creative day!
Holy Night
This card, made with the Holy Night stamp set from Simon Says Stamp’s And Everything Nice release, captures the quiet beauty of Christmas. Soft ink blending, gentle tones, and a glittery star bring a peaceful reverence to the design. Have a wonderfully creative day.
Peace and Quiet Sparkle
A cozy winter scene made with AALL & Create products: a Copic-colored angel, a friendly bird, and a soft green tree over a lightly ink-blended, snowflake-speckled background. I stacked a rosy geometric frame and a silver “Peace” sentiment for quiet shine. A dimensional snowbank adds depth with its raised, glittery finish. Have a wonderfully creative day!
Sending Smiles with Every Step
The November Stamp and Die of the Month from Spellbinders inspired this lighthearted design featuring a whimsical walking figure colored with Copic markers. I paired her with the coordinating Embossing Folder of the Month, using the de-bossed side for soft, stitched texture. Layered banners, a hint of lime twine, and a few gem accents finish this clean and confident look.
Joy to You
This AALL & Create card captures the quiet calm of a winter evening. Soft ink-blended snowbanks, a gentle lamplight glow, and a cozy caroler in green create a peaceful, storybook feel. Simple layers created using handmade stencils add subtle depth. Have a wonderfully creative day!
Best Brunch Buddy Ever
The November Stamp and Die of the Month from Spellbinders might just be my favorite set of the year. I paired it with the coordinating Embossing Folder of the Month and created a soft background using the “ink smooshing” technique with Distress Oxides. The playful focal image was colored with Copic markers and finished with a few sparkling gems. Have a wonderfully creative day!
