Bright Starry Night

Austin: The best part is the sentiment and the trees and the background and the stars.

Sally: We do so many winter night cards we weren’t sure how to make something a bit new. So we didn’t. We took the key elements of our winter night cards & just simplified it, polished it & ended up with an elegant, sophisticated, clean & simple card (or as CAS as we get lol).

Joy to the world

Austin: I have made this card over and over for a long time over and over again. It's been hard but I really like this card. I did the right colour on the mountains make it worth it. When I was making this card I really enjoyed and had a good time making this card blending the background prepping everything was magnificent.

Sally: As Austin said we have made this card a few times (athough it really isn't very hard, Austin just doesn't like anything where he has to do delicate or fiddly elements on a card. He likes the result though which is why this card has been made over and over again.
What makes this card so good is the Hero Arts Snowy Drifts die set which has these great layering scene dies. We have done all kinds of things with this set, we have made it into a stencil which we used to make this card.
My personal favourite though is when we use the dies like this.

Winter wonderland

Austin: I love this card because it has lots of glitter and sparkle which I love and has lots of character on this card.
My favourite part of the card is the glitter card background and the snowflakes is really pretty and the glitter houses is so perfect.

Sally: This card idea totally came from the embossing powder we heat embossed the snowflakes with. Kristina Werner recently did a card where she heat embossed one huge snowflake with some Brutus Monroe Rainbow Sparkle embossing powder & she mentioned that it looked amazing on black cardstock. We happened to have the Rainbow Sparkle embossing powder so I really wanted to try it out & from there this card idea just kind of manifested.
