I like how this card turned out. (Although the scan is a little crooked, the card isn't.) I stamped the snowman from Jolly Old St Nick on Whisper White and colored him with Stampin Write markers and stamped the sentiment in Marina Mist with a stamp from a retired hostess set called So Many Sayings. Then I embossed it in the Northern Flurry embossing folder, spritzed a little Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz on it, added Dazzling Diamonds glitter where the stamped imagine indicated snow and adhered it to a Marina Mist card base.

In addition to stamping and scrapbooking I enjoy spending time with our dogs. We have three American Eskimos so when I saw this stamp, I had to have it. The sky was sponged with Night of Navy and Dazzling Diamonds glitter was used on the snow. The card base is Handsome Hunter (retired) and the trees are from Lovely as a Tree.

When I saw this tutorial on SplitCoastStampers for a paper doll made with oragami paper, I had to try it. Here's my first attempt on a birthday card for my sister in law. The images from Embrace Life and In Wilderness are stamped in Wild Wasabi on Shimmer card stock. The card base is Blushing Bride.

Here's another card using the toilet paper technique to create the red and gold background. This card was cased from Joyce Pacer who taught me the technique. A Cardinal Christmas stamp set was used on Whisper White, and Basic Black card stock. The image was colored with a blender pen and watercolor pencils.

Hope you enjoyed the SU-STARS blog hop last weekend. There were so many pretty cards and projects! I made note of several that I plan on copying so you may see them, or a variation of them, here in the next few weeks. These cards were made with the builder wheel from the Holiday mini catalog. I really like the builder wheels! So many combinations and ways to use them. For these, I left the center slot empty so I could use ribbon there. This one was colored with Stampin' Pastels and has retired DSP and ribbon in Old Olive and Real Red. This one also has retired DSP and ribbon and a corduroy brad in Real Red. It was colored with a blender pen and ink.

Welcome to the SU-STARS November blog hop! This month we are featuring holiday and Winter themed projects. If you are hopping along in order, you arrived here from the SU-STARS' home page where you saw some amazing art work by Loni Holt. Should you get lost, a list of links to all the participating blogs can be found there. My project is a quick and easy card using the Northern Flurry Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. It is embossed on Whisper White card stock and the sentiment from A Cardinal Christmas is stamped in Real Red Classic ink. The ornament is punched from a scrap of flocked paper from the retired Christmas Cocoa Specialty Designer Series. It is attached to the Whisper White card stock with Stampin' Dimensionals over Real Red satin ribbon then adhered to the Real Red card stock base. Card design by Joyce Pacer. There are more than 20 creative bloggers showcasing their work for you this weekend so have a great time hopping along and enjoying all the fantastic projects along the way. The next stop is Sassy Shirley's blog. I know she has a terrific project waiting there for you!

I learned a new technique this week. It's called the toilet paper technique and makes a gorgeous background for cards and other projects. Dasher was stamped in Encore! silver metallic ink on Whisper White card stock, embossed with Iridescent Ice embossing powder then layered on Night of Navy card stock. The card base is also Night of Navy.
