Let's Make a Scene - Winter Birthday KSS

I'm getting a little bit of a late start in posting my Let's Make a Scene design sponsored by Kitchen Sink Stamps this morning, but today is a very amazing day for a dear friend and her family so I wanted to create something very special. My sweet friend is celebrating  her 107th birthday today! What a remarkable feat! She is not accepting gifts at her party this afternoon and actually had her family pass out 107 red roses to our church members yesterday. It is just like her to always think of others first!

With much of our nation blanketed in snow this week, I decided to make a winter theme. I can image that in her youth, Lucile may have had the pleasure of riding in a horse-drawn sleigh through the snow! I will ask her this afternoon at her party!

The frame is popped up over the stamped background and the snowman is popped up on the frame. I crocheted a scarf to add a little fun texture to the design! The sentiment is die cut and angled across the frame.

Card Box Birthday Card

For today's card sponsored by Kitchen Sink Stamps, I cut the ends off of a clear plastic card box to create a fold-flat, stand alone card box. The snowman and snowflakes are glued to the front of the box and the pine trees and sentiment are blued to the inside back panel.

New from the Kitchen

In today's post sponsored by Kitchen Sink Stamps, I am taking a break from my usual 10 Minutes and 10 Minutes More designs to share with you the latest new sets available to order or pre-order from Kitchen Sink Stamps now. So much wintery fun! What a great blend of images to mix and match with each other as well as KSS images you may already own. I have not even begun to use all the fun mini silhouettes included in Icy Pond and Snowy Cabin. They are awesome!

The new sets are:

Icy Pond Multi Step Clear Stamps
Rolling Hills Multi Step Clear Stamps
Snowy Cabin Multi Step Clear Stamps
Snowmen Multi Step Clear Stamps
Love 4 Ducky & Teddy Multi Step Clear Stamps
Make a Big Statement Clear Stamps


All the images in this first card are from Multi Step Icy Pond which is a mini set. It also includes silhouettes of skaters, kids on a sled, and an ice fisherman. I only used three inks on this card: Stampin' Up's Bashful Blue, Memento's Northern Pine, and Versafine Onyx Black.

The images except for the sentiment on the card below are from Multi Step Snowy Cabin. This cabin is smaller than the cabin in Cabin by the Lake and has a snowy covered roof with dangling icicles. The sentiment is from Greetings from the Woods Clear Stamps. The inks used for this card were SU Bashful Blue, Papertrey Ink Classic Craft, Fine Linen, and Dark Chocolate, and Memento Espresso Truffle.

For this monochromatic anniversary card, I used only two inks: Stampin' Up's Going Grey and Versafine Onyx Black. The snowy hillside was created using Rolling Hills Multi Step Clear Stamps while the trees are a part of the Snowy Cabin Multi Step Clear Stamps set. The sentiment is from Make a Big Statement and the pond and skaters are from Multi Step Icy Pond.

I do not have a white ink that is worth a darn so here is how I created the three step snowmen from the new Snowmen Multi Step Clear Stamps set ( which contains three snowman sizes by the way. Used here are the large and medium). I stamped layer one of the snowman on a pink sticky note and stuck it on top of my white cardstock to cut out layer one. That gave me the bright white layer. I then stamped layer 2 on the pre-cut snowman with Papertrey Ink's Soft Stone. I next stamped layer 3 with Stampin' Up's Bashful Blue. The features were added last, of course.

Today's final card uses a new companion set for Teddy and Ducky called, what else, Love 4 Ducky & Teddy Multi Step Clear Stamps. It includes the tiara and top hat as well a a sweet box of chocolates. There are sentiments included that would work well for Valentine's Day or an anniversary.
