Funny Friday: Gingerbread Cubbies!
Hello friends, it’s Nina-Marie Trapani here with you for another Funny Friday Art Impressions!
I adore the sweet Gingerbread Cubbies stamp and die set, which creates the most darling interactive card! With a bit of Copic coloring, it takes no time at all to bring this set to life – and while I used Copics to color my gingerbread house, feel free to use whatever coloring medium you prefer.
The stamp set includes all the elements you’ll need to decorate your gingerbread house, including those sweet gumdrops! I added some sparkly Lawn Fawn Liquid Stardust to all my embellishments, a sentiment from the Gingerbread Cubbies stamp set, plus some Pebbles Merry Little Christmas pattern paper for the card base… and this card is finished!

Color Coordinates: Hanukkah
Welcome to another edition of my Color Coordinates series!! Today I’m focusing on Hannukkah with a set of traditional colors to create tags to celebrate the Festival of Lights.
I’ve chosen my colors by using Simon Says Stamp cardstocks Soft Navy, Slate, Fog, Silver Glitter, and Neenah White.
To start out these tags, I die cut them using the Simon Says Stamp Large Tag dies from Fog and Slate cardstocks. I trimmed up various cardstocks in 1/4″ and 1/2″ strips and then stamped and embossed the Altenew Stars using Clear ink and Silver embossing powder. Creating the tags were easy once I had all the pieces and parts ready to assemble in different ways.
If you are interested in printing out the Color Coordinates and creating a swatch book, I have the downloadable templates available below.

Snowflake Builder! Circle Card & Envelope with Kristina Werner
Hi all! Kristina Werner here! Today I have some more inspiration for you using the January 2020 card kit! The kit includes the fun Snowflake Builder stamp set, so I started by creating a snowflake card.
I stamped one of the large snowflake images from the Snowflake Builder stamp set in Teal ink from Simon on white cardstock. Then I ink blended Mint and Teal inks radiating from the center of the snowflake.
To complete the layered snowflake, I lined up the second image over the top of the stamped snowflake, stamped it in Versamark ink, and heat embossed it with silver embossing powder.
For the card greeting, I stamped the banner image from the stamp set on Soft Navy cardstock and silver heat embossed it as well.
I used Simon’s Nested Circles dies to cut the stamped snowflake piece, as well as a circle card base made out of Soft Navy cardstock. Then I adhered the snowflake piece to the card base.
For the envelope, I stamped a bunch of snowflakes using four colors of Simon ink: Teal, Mint, Blue Jay, and Soft Navy. Allison’s address was added using a teal gel pen (here are some similar pens).
NOTE: Address used with permission. Thanks, Allison!
