It’s time for the Glitter Queens Blog Hop! Our theme this month is Layer Up! I hope you’ll visit all the Glitter Queens participating in the hop!
I actually have two cards to share with you today! They both use the stamp set First Frost and the coordinating dies, Frosted Bouquet. The sentiment, roses and greenery were stamped with images from the stamp set and then cut out with the dies. The silver foil sprigs were also cut out using the dies as well as the Shaded Spruce piece behind the sentiment.
I ran my Whisper White layer through my die-cutting machine using the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder to add some extra dimension to my card. Three rhinestones were added for some extra added bling!
My next card uses some non-traditional colors of Purple Posy and Highland Heather. I made a few subtle changes such as only adding two roses to this one, I omitted the greenery and used larger rhinestones. In real life, both cards have so much sparkle!!
You can find both the stamp set, First Frost, and the Frosted Bouquet Dies in the Annual Catalog. For more information about any of the products I used, click the images in the supply list below!

When I received my Christmastime is Here Designer Series Paper (demonstrators are able to preorder this suite – a perk of purchasing the Starter Kit), I was surprised that several of the designs have gold foiling and on today’s card, the white flowers have this beautiful foiling. To add more sparkle to the card, I added a layer of gold foil between the Cherry Cobbler base and Designer Series Paper. The scalloped oval the sentiment sits on is also gold foil. I really think this paper can be used for all occasions, not just for the holidays so I paired it with the Beautiful Friendship stamp set.

Condolence cards are the most difficult cards to make but I recently needed one to send to my cousin’s wife. Matthew passed away several weeks ago and he was only 48 years old. Far too young to leave us.
I love everything about the Kindness & Compassion stamp set. It’s always difficult finding the right words to say to someone who’s experiencing extreme grief and convey that you care. This set has a variety of beautiful sentiments written in a beautiful font. Plus it includes “thank you.”
I used a base of Thick Whisper White with another layer of Whisper White, embossed with the Layered Leaves 3D Embossing Folder. The sentiment was stamped in Night of Navy and cut out using the Stitched Shapes Dies. The larger Night of Navy oval underneath it was cut out using the Layering Ovals Dies.
If you’d like to make today’s card, you can find all the measurements below the Supply List.

Oh my gosh, how cute are these snowmen from Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper? When photographing the card, I hoped I could capture the beautiful sparkle on all the snowmen. Funny thing is, when I saw this paper in the catalog, I didn’t initially buy it. It didn’t jump out at me as something I had to have. But then someone I know mentioned how cute it was so I purchased it and I was absolutely NOT disappointed! If you’d like to see in more detail, all the designs in this package of paper, go to my Stampin’ Up! online store, here. Click the “+” on the image of the paper to make the photo larger. Then, you’ll see arrows and you’ll be able to scroll through all the designs.
The base of my card is Thick Whisper White. When the base of my card is white, I always use our Thick Whisper White rather than our regular Whisper White. The next layer is our Real Red cardstock. The sentiment is from the stamp set Snowman Season and was also stamped in Real Red ink and cut out using the Merry Christmas Dies. It’s a super simple card to make and super cute with all the sparkly snowmen!
If you’d like to recreate this card, you can find all the measurements below the Supply List.

On a side note, yesterday my daughter and son-in-law had to say goodbye to their precious dog, Jake. Losing an animal is never easy because they are our family. I cried a bucketload of tears yesterday. One day Jake was doing fine and the next, he was gone. He was the most gentle animal and full of so much love. Here’s a picture of Jake and my youngest grandson about a month ago. Go hug your furry loved ones and let them know how much they mean to you.
