Everything you see stamped on these cards come from the set. Remember you can only get this set this month. This is not only good for birthdays, but also babies.

snowman layout
Who would know that we WOULD be snowed in this weekend!
We made this layout at our Scrapbooking club night. Inspired by LeeAnn Greff.
We white embossed snowflakes on the background. Made the snowman using a 3" circle for the head and a 4" rectangle the we rounded off at the neck. The eyes were 1/2" black with a touch of wht pen for highlights. Three buttons, a nose and a scarf. Some 3-D snowflakes were cut from Cricut. The bottom border was a 4x12 piece of White daisy ripped down the middle to make snow banks. All the photo wells were edged in light blue.

Band aids cards
One of my favorite new sets in the New Expressions is with a band aid and lots of great sayings. The background color is the same for both cards, I don't know why they came up different. I used the embossing folder just part way down and added the words. I cut lots of band aids out using the CTMH Artistry cartridge at 3/4" that way whenever I need a get well card my band aids are cut and stored in the stamp set envelope.
 |
| This card I used the zip strip from a retired paper and barn red ink ( also, retired) |

Tuesday's class
These cards were made using the January Stamp of the month. Inspired by Kathy Burrows. This set had lots of possibilities. The favorite words on Tuesday was "thinking of you". So many times we could be sending out cards just to let someone know they are in our thoughts. Who doesn't love getting (RAC) random acts of kindness cards.
 |
| This card uses fern ink and the sprig from the Stamp of the month. S1513. Fern cs for the base cut at 4 1/4 x 11" (cropped out) black 4x 5 1/4" and col. white 3 3/4 x 5" to stamp on. Very fast and simple. Almost forgot added fern twine as an accent. Words are from the set also. |
 |
| This card was stamps in slate and colored in with colored pencils. We scribbled a small circle of yellow on scrap paper and picked it up with a waterbrush to add accents to the end of the sprigs. The large rose was popped. The words were from "Say it all" stamp set. Silver foil tape was added under the Get well soon. |
 |
| This card was made by embossing silver for the flower, the sprigs and the words. We also added silver around the edge of the white stamping piece. The rose was popped. Check back tomorrow when I show the two band aid cards I made. |

Christmas cards
We made these cards at class. A Child is Born...Christ the Lord. The middle card was cut from the Artistry "Joy to the World" and the last card is the famous tree folding card. You can find the video with directions on the right side on the videos. To make a great looking tree, cut your squares using Art Philosophy scalloped squares.

Tea pot
I made this tea pot using the NEW Artistry Cricut cartridge. The lid was cut off, watercolored and stamped. I discovered that if you use your alcohol markers, you can watercolor over top and it stays put. I inked up my embossing folder on one side and ran the front of the tea pot through. That gave it a great look. The rose was cut from Artiste and the tag and leaves were cut from Art Philosophy. I hinged the lid and glued another tea pot to the back leaving a pocket for the tea bag. Oh, one last thing.....I watercolored the rose before I rolled it, beautiful results.
