Snow card 
 
Sn
ow Sparkle Card 
From the mini catalog, the Snow jumbo wheel and Snow Burst stamp set was used.  The snowflake punch and square rhinestones were used as wellto accent the greeting.
 
Colors: Sky blue and Blue Bayou inks.
Cardstock: Sky blue and Shimmery White.
Other: Dazzling Diamonds and Dimensionals.
 Sparkling Trees
 
Sparkling Trees Card
For this card I used the Lovely as a Tree stampset (from the large catalog), silver organdy ribbon and the xyron machine to get the sparkles all over the white cardstock wtih the tall tree on it. Dazzling diamonds ia also used on the trees at the bottom.
 
Colors: Basic Grey ink
Cardstock: Basic Grey, Brushed Silver, Shimmery White
Other: Dazzling Diamonds
 Tis the Season
'Tis The Season Card
From the mini catalog the Naughty or Nice and Merry & Bright stampsets was used. Markers were used to color the images and Liquid Applique was used for the "fluff" effect of the beard and mustache. Dimenstionals were used to raise the dear and the snowman.
 
Colors: Varios markers. Bliss blue ink for the snowflakes and Sky blue in the background to look like wind blowing.
 
Cardstock: Real Red and Black.
 
Other: Markers, Dimensionals, Blender Pens.
 
Techniques: Use markers on the greeting to get the two tone.  Used masking on the trees to get the overlapping effect.
 Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving Watercolor Card
This card uses the Autumn Harvest stampset from the mini catalog. It uses the retired Watercolor paper but the same thing could have been done using Very Vanilla cardstock and look just as beautiful!
 
 
Colors: More Mustard, Pumpkin Pie, Really Rust, True Thyme, Close to Cocoa and Chocolate Chip inks were used.
 
Cardstock: Apple Cider designer series paper from the mini catalog.  True Thyme caardstock as well as Chocolate Chip.
 
Other: Dimensionals to raise some of the leaves. Copper Cord ribbon.  Most of all blender pens were used to get the watercolor effect.
 
Technique: Watercoloring.
 Batty Halloween
Batty Halloween Card
This is a very easy card to make but I love it anyway!  The Spookly Line wheel is in the Fall/Winter (large) cataalog while the Autumn Apparitions set is from the mini catalog.
 
 
 
Colors: Black ink.
Cardstock: Lovely Lilac, Green Galore and White.
Other: Black journaling marker, Ticket corner punch (large catalog).
 Mini Snow
Snow Mini Cards
These packaged 3x3 mini cards and envelopes are from last year's Winter mini catalog but you can still create them using regular cardstock and scoring them yourself. 12x12 cardstock would work the best.
 
 
 
The Snowflake Spot (large catalog) and the Merry & Bright stampset (mini catalog) are used to create these mini cards.
 
Techniques: Masking was used for the trees.  For the snowflake, first I stamped in Vintage Violet (an old In Color ink) and then used Bordering Blue or Bliss Blue marker to color some edges of the snowflake to give a two tone look.
 
Other: Silver ribbon. Dazzling Diamonds. Markers.
