Hi everyone, Jo here. Today's projects are made using the new stamp set "Season's Tweetings". Enjoy!

 Card 1: Season's Tweetings

For my first card, I used the adorable bird images. I colored them in different colors. The "Season's Tweetings" sentiment coordinates well with the birdies. I framed them out in an oval and scalloped oval die shape. 

  Card 2: You're My Favorite Flake

My second card consists of one of two snowflakes in the stamp set and the "You're My Favorite Flake" sentiment embossed with gold embossing powder. I used snowflake pattern paper and a snowflake die. A nice and flat card, easy for mailing.

 Card 3: Snow much thanks

Lastly, for my third card, I used the snowman and the "Snow much thanks" sentiment. I made a shaker card, overfilled with sequins, micro beads and glitter lol. He looks like he's drowning in snow, which I love! 

I hope you enjoyed my holiday cards. This stamp set was a blast to work with and perfect for this season. Thanks for stopping by!

Season's Tweetings~ KelliJo

Hey Avocado Arts Fans!  It's time for me to share MY goodies using the, yes it did, Make Me SQUEAL set called Season's Tweetings!!!!!  **awwwww**

SEE??!!!  I HEARD YOU!!!!!!! ;)


So my first card I created using the 2 decoration stamps and the snowflake stamp to create my own background.  This is SERIOUSLY THE easiest way to get matching DP!!!!!! A few pearls and blings to create snow and DONE!



The second card I stamped directly onto some EP DP and then stamped a 2nd image, colored it, cut it and pasted it.  Not NEARLY as easy as using a mouse... ;)  Again, random pearls for flakes....


My final card (sorry about the horrible lighting, card wasn't gonna play nicely) uses the sweet little birds tweeting (lol) #SeasonsTweetings  (see what I did there) ;)  Some sweet gem stones inside my RC double die and DONE!   oh the berries are using a liquid pearl.

Season's Tweetings With Pinky And A Wine Glass!

Hey there friends, it's Pinky today with 3 projects using the FABBY
new Season's Tweetings stamp set and it's adorable!

My first project is a window card where I stamped snowflakes onto
acrylic then created a window effect with the sentiment on
gold shimmer paper in the back. I could not get that shimmer to
show on camera but it's so shimmery!
Here is the fun stamp set, what do you think??

My second card is also a shimmer card but I used an acrylic 
snowman shape and white StazOn in to create the sentiment.
You can see how beautiful detailed the snowflakes are. 

And I decided to make a wine glass votive holder for the holidays 
with my 3rd project! I actually heat embossed the upper lip with gold
embossing powder then I used Cotton White StazOn to stamp the
glass itself. 
It's hard to capture how pretty it really is but it worked very well. 
Hope you love this set as much as I do, holiday sets are my favorite!!

Until next time friends, keep on crafting.

Season's Tweetings with Heather H.

Hello! Heather here from Houses Built of Cards - here to share some projects with the newest stamp set called Season's Tweetings - such a sweet and fun wintery set!


I started off with those little birds and the sentiment that gave this set it's name:


For fun, I had my oldest daughter randomly pick a piece of paper out of a pad on my desk - and I challenged myself to use it to make a card - she picked the green marbled one, probably the one I was having the hardest time coming up with an idea for! But...I went for it! Did some Copic coloring, heat embossing, tucked in a doily, and added a few sequins!


And this next one, I had my younger daughter pick a piece of paper out of a pad that I grabbed out of my stash. Once again, I'm pretty sure she picked the hardest paper out of the entire pad! Not that it isn't fabulous - just busy enough to be challenging for me!


I decided to make a shaker card out of this one - I stamped a few of the snowflakes from the stamp set on vellum, fussy cut them out, and added them with some sequins inside my shaker for fun.


And finally - you just know I had to use watercolors at least once, right?


I created a simple watercolor wash for a background, flicked on some white mist, then stamped and fussy cut out the snowman, after coloring a bit with Copic markers. I stamped my sentiment, adhered the snowman with foam adhesive, and added a jaunty frame and a few sequins. Finished off by adding some Glossy Accents to a few select parts of the snowman and then sprinkling with some distress glitter - then adding more Glossy Accents to the arms, hat, nose, and melted puddle parts of the snowman - but left those without glitter so they dried nice and shiny!


Thanks so much for dropping by today! Have a wonderful week!

Build a Wreath ~ KelliJo





Hey Peeps!  It's me Kelli Jo here today to share with you my cards using the WAY make me squeal set called Build a Wreath from Avocado Arts!!!!


 My first card is a fun clean and simple card.  I LOVE photopolymer stamps SO much and here is one reason why.... you can make them shaped to give added interest!!!!  I inked the sentiment up in Hero Arts Ambre ink then stamped 3 of the leaves in Memento Black and colored with Copics.  BAM!


My next card focuses on Paper Piecing... you really don't have to be all fussy with matting when you paper piece! ;)  The wooden sign was hand snipped in just seconds.!  Super fun! 




My last card I just created my own background using the SUPER cute chevron pumpkin multiple times and then created a swinging tag with the wooden sign which I have hanging from the Autumn part of the "Autumn Blessings" sentiment!  Added some fun jute and WOOT There It IS!"


I hope you enjoy my cards!  I had a blast making them and playing around with yet another AWESOME stamp set from AA!

Build-A-Wreath By Pinky!

A new stamp set that is perfect for fall and Thanksgiving too!
Hello friends, it's Pinky today with 3 new cards using the latest Build-A-Wreath
stamp set that is adorable. 

For the first card I stamped the background and them spritzed it.
I also cut out a couple of the stamped images to layer them onto the card. 

Here is the entire set:


 For my second card I graduated the inks to create a Thank You card. 
 I also inked the edge to add more fullness. 
And on the third card I used StazOn ink that I brushed on
 for a more rustic feel. I love this sunflower. 


I hope you enjoyed my projects today and enjoy this stamp set as much as I did!
Happy crafting friends,

Build a Wreath with Heather H.

Hello! Heather here from Houses Built of Cards - here to share some projects with the newest set called Build-A-Wreath. I kind of LOVE wreaths, so was pretty excited to see this stamps it show up in the mail - super cute!


First of all - I just had to share a peek of this card - I actually shared it a couple days ago on my blog as part of my Blog Birthday Giveaways (and there is a giveaway if you want to pop over HERE and check it out - and see full details of this card!)


And then, I have my regular 3 cards here - first up, of course that wreath just had to be used!


I kept it pretty simple for this one - the wreath, the thank you in the center, some ink splatters, and some washi strips along the side - the finished off with rounding one corner.


Here I put together some of the smaller images:


I used the back of that leaf to stamp the color around it, then stamped over it with the right side. Some Crate Paper pattern paper, torn edges, and machine stitching finish this one off.


And finally, I ended up back at those leaves!


For this one, I pulled out some ink, and just stamped and stamped and stamped a pretty background - then added my sentiment on a strip of gray cardstock, with a tiny bit of black peeking out along the bottom. Adhered that with foam adhesive, and done!


Thanks so much for dropping by today! Have a wonderful week!
