Winter White
It's hard to photograph an all white card on a gray, rainy day and I think this is a bit prettier in real life. The snow looks a lot whiter too.
The 3D embossing folder is by Crafter's Companion and is called Christmas Village. The wreath is also by them.
The village is by Darice and I added some Nuvo glimmer paste to the windows.

Open Door Policy
I had so much fun making this card with the Hero Arts monthly November 2019 kit. Just getting around to using it now, for next year!

Scandinavian Sweater
Stampin' Up! Make A Mitten set was embossed in white on Real Red card stock. Made up a sweater pattern and cut out as a template for the sweater design. Background on Whisper White is the SU knit 3D embossing folder, embellished with some sequins. Sentiment is from Hero Arts, I think it was the November 2019 monthly kit.
Valentine Kit
The limited edition Simon Says Stamp Valentines 2020 is really fabulous. So many goodies in this one! I started with the ephemera kit for these cards and they came together quickly. Really love the main stamp set with this kit, lots of roses and sentiments that are great for year round use. This set of cards is for the "love" theme on the Simon Says Stamp blog. Hope you can play along!

More happy hearts day cards!
More valentines with The Project Bin sentiments!
I used the little envelope from The North Pole set to create my background on white card stock, colored background pink and then added a layer of vellum over top since the color was a much hotter pink than I had wanted. Love the softness it adds. The sentiment is from the Really Hungry set.
The second card also uses the Really Hungry set. Love the 'smore from this versatile set!
Paper is retired SU.
Love
Simon Says Stamp Be My Valentine set embossed in white and shaded with Tim Holtz distress oxide inks of Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick, and Shabby Shutters. Love die cut on top of a strip of vellum is by Lawn Fawn.

December 26
This is Santa on the beach, the day after Christmas with a sack full of cookies.
The background was easily done with three colors of acrylic paint swiped across the white card stock. Stamped, colored, cut out Santa (Art Impressions- Tropical Christmas) and popped him up on foam tape. Added sentiment in Versafine Onyx Black ink which is my favorite for sentiments. It stamps darker and more clearly than any of the other inks I have but does not do well with Copic markers. It smears.
