Hi there and happy Wednesday! Franci here with you today, with a happy interactive card showcasing the new Eskimo Kisses mini set.

Since the first time I saw an inside shadow box card design by Jennifer McGuire, I've had so much fun creating these kind of projects. You can search for the tutorial on her YouTube channel and I'm sure you'll fall in love too!

I always like to keep both the outside and the inside simple, since the all card is built with interest and dimension. For today I paired this cute couple with some polar critters and fun arctic accessorizes from the Polar Playmates set.

I stamped, colored and die cut all the images and created a clean scene on the outside, that I kind of framed and defined with some dry embossing details.

On the inside I went crazy with colors, inspired by the Northern Lights atmospherics events. I used several distress inks to create also a rainbow effect and I drew some white dots here and there. I love these polar cuties so much! 

The oval window is die cut with the just released Stitched Oval dies and for the sentiment I paired both of the previously used stamp sets to create my own. It's so lovely that makes me giggle a lot!!

Finally I added some sparkle and some more details with the white gel pen and my polar card is completed! 

Hope you'll be inspired by my card to create your own festive polar scenes and thank you very much for stopping by today, see you soon with lots of new projects.

Sweater Vest Dies Ugly Christmas Sweater Card with Juliana

Hello friends! It's Juliana Michaels and today I'm excited to share a fun and festive card I created using the Sweater Vest die set. There's nothing quite as fun and festive as an ugly sweater vest and that's exactly what I've created to share with you.

To get started I created a card base by folding a piece of 4.25 x 11 inch cardstock in half. I then placed the large sweater vest die so that just the top edge hung over the fold and ran it through my die cutting card.

On the inside of the card, I stamped a sentiment using a stamp from the Foxy Christmas stamp set. Next, I took the various dies from the set and cut out the pieces from colored cardstock. To give the sweater vest some texture, I embossed it using the Cable Knit embossing folder.

Now it's time to make this sweater ugly! I took the Merry Sentiments light bulb stamp and stamped it onto various colors of cardstock and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I then took the coordinating die and cut them out. To give each light bulb a topper, I cut out the bulb from silver cardstock and trimmed off the lower part before adhering it to the bulb. I then used double sided foam tape to adhere the bulbs to the sweater vest. For the final touch, I added some white string for the bulb to hang from.
