Thank You to Frantic Stamper and Goodbye to 2021

 

A BIG Thank You to Frantic Stamper as our Sponsor for our December Challenge of Winter/Christmas project with an optional twist to make a shaped Winter/Christmas Card

You can win a fabulous Christmas die package from Frantic Stamper.

Our divas have been having so much fun with our projects this month and we all want to say a big "Thank You" to Frantic Stamper.

Arlene loved these two die sets and created some fairly easy cards, easy if you like to get messy with alcohol inks!  You can see the individual cards at A Bit of This and That.

Dawn has created a winter scene using an embossing folder.

Linda's sharing a holiday thank you card using Frantic Stamper's Slimline Frames. 

See more details and bonus cards HERE (Scrappin', Stampin', & Singin').

Sue's final card for 2021 was inspired by the Northern Lights.

She used the Sunny Studio - Scenic Route stamp set available at Frantic Stamper. For details on how she created this card, check out her foleysfriend blog

A Stocking Shaped Card

Hey crafty friends - Linda here to share a fun stocking card as inspiration for our Diva challenge this month. Our theme is to create a Winter/Christmas project with the option of making a shaped card. Frantic Stamper is sponsoring this challenge and generously donated a lovely Christmas die bundle (see the challenge post for full details). Here's my shaped card:

Dies - Sunny Studio Santa's Stocking (Available at Frantic Stamper here).

 Lacy Snowflakes (at FS here) &

Spellbinder's Snowflake Splendor (at FS here)

I couldn't resist this darling stocking die set! I formed an A2 stocking shaped card by not cutting through the top folded edge of the cardstock. Then I added the patterned layers - such fun!!

Frantic Stamper carries such a wonderful selection of paper craft brands, plus I love FS products! If interested, please find more details and a bonus card using a FS cover plate die on my blog Scrappin', Stampin', & Singin'.

Be sure to add your project using a die or embossing folder, plus our theme, to the challenge gallery by 12/31/21 at 9pm Pacific time. Happy holidays!!

Linda & the Divas

More Happy Christmas Cards

 

Frantic Stamper is Die Cut Divas' Sponsor for the December Challenge of Winter/Christmas project with an optional twist to make a shaped Winter/Christmas Card.

I have had so much fun playing this month and here I am with more cards.  I just love the way you can bring this die to life with the different backgrounds behind the die.  It can be a digital background, Designer paper or your own homemade background.  The green card is a digital cardstock, while I purchased the sunset Designer slimline Designer paper.  These were fast, and fun to put together.

It's Raining Christmas Cards Today

  

Frantic Stamper is Die Cut Divas' Sponsor for the December Challenge of Winter/Christmas project with an optional twist to make a shaped Winter/Christmas Card.

The prize is a Christmas Die Bundle!  Check out our Challenge Post to see the bundle here.

You can find so many "must haves" at Frantic Stamper and I was looking for something that had a WOW factor and I think I found a couple of "must haves" and I know I found many wonderful "must haves".

These houses are going to family.  Since I cut everything from glitter cardstock, which is heavier than normal cardstock, so I was cutting for what I thought was forever, but was not.  For the results, I would gladly do this again with glitter cardstock.  The glitter is incredible and even if I say so myself, just beautiful.  Since my base cardstock was glossy, I used a stopper for each card, e.g. "ho-HO-ho!" on the blue cards.

Supplies:

Poppy Stamps Winter House Pop-up Easel Set at Frantic Stampers

IO dies - Birch Trees (small die-cut birds on houses)

Elizabeth Craft Designs various sentiments stamp sets

Glitter paper in stash

Vagabond die-cut machine
