I made two cards with the Endless Wishes stamp set from Stampin’ Up! to share with you today.  I made these so that are mailable with just one stamp, something that I rarely do but is so nice when you’re creating a stack of cards to mail out for the holidays.

I’ve got a blog candy winner and a new blog candy package for my blog birthday weekend below so after checking out my cards be sure to scroll to the bottom of this post for all of that information.

I started the card on the left by stamping the snowflake images from the Endless Wishes Photopolymer stamp set in Smoky Slate ink on a Smoky Slate panel, then adhering it to an Island Indigo card base.

The two patterned flags were cut from the Winter Frost Specialty DSP pack and punched on the end with the Hexgon Punch.  The solid banner was cut from the Island Indigo Textured Card Stock pack and also punched with the Hexagon Punch.

I cut the scallop circle from Island Indigo Textured Card Stock with the Perfect Pennants Bigz L Die and the Whisper White circle was cut with the Circles #2 Originals Die.  I stamped the snowflakes in Coastal Cabana and Island Indigo inks.  I also added a snowflake that I cut from Silver Glimmer Paper with the Festive Flurry Framelits die and a sentiment banner that I cut with the little die from the Circle Card Thinlits die set.

I stamped the Whisper White panel inside the card in Island Indigo ink with the sentiment from the More Merry Messages stamp set (wood mount and clear mount) and the Endless Wishes snowflakes.

For the card on the right, I adhered a panel of the Winter Frost Specialty DSP to a panel of Cherry Cobbler card stock, then to a Pool Party card base.

I stamped the Endless Wishes Snowflakes in Pool Party ink and the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler ink on a Whisper White panel.  I adhered the panel to a panel of Cherry Cobbler card stock then wrapped a piece of Silver 1/8″ Ribbon around it and adhered the layered panel to the card front.  I finished the card front by punching a star from Red Glimmer Paper with the Merry Minis Punch Pack punch and adhering it with a Glue Dot.

The Whisper White panel inside the card was stamped with the sentiment from More Merry Messages and the Endless Wishes snowflakes in Pool Party ink.

Day Two of My Birthday Blog Candy Weekend

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by to leave me a comment yesterday, I appreciate it!  It was so much fun reading about your birthday traditions.  Now, for the winner…The Random Number Generator chose comment number 22 and that comment was from Diane Casino.  Diane said:

Happy Blogging birthday, Amy! Our family tradition is playing party games and everyone, winner or not, gets a prize. My grandchildren, ages 7 and 9, don’t have this same tradition so I threw myself a little party this year and infused the old tradition again. Everyone was surprised.

Congratulations Diane!!  I’ll get your ink pads and Frosted Finishes Embellishments mailed out to you tomorrow!

And the blog candy for today…

Today’s blog candy is the Sweet Essentials wood mount stamp set and a package of Island Indigo Baker’s Twine.

To be entered to win the blog candy package for today, simply leave me a comment on this post by 8:00 AM EST tomorrow (Monday, Nov 11) telling me the one item from Stampin’ Up! that you’d get yourself for your birthday if you could.  It can be anything on your wish list big or small.

The item that I’d choose would be the Typeset Alphabet Bigz Dies.  I’d love to have them…maybe one day.  🙂

If you left a comment yesterday, feel free to drop back and leave another one to be entered to win this stamp set and twine.  I’ll randomly draw a winner from those comments left on this post and I’ll announce the winner on my blog tomorrow morning.  Anyone is welcome to leave a comment but I’m only able to ship the blog candy to addresses within the United States.  Thanks for your understanding.
