I keep raving about this set - Another way to use those little ski's and the sled in the set is as a fence. So the set can be utilized outside of Christmas making it a better investment. Those little weeny flower images in the set, along with the bows in the thinlits and the presents can all be utilised throughout the year. I love it when you get more from your craft investment! The skis and the top of the sled images already have wood grain and so they make the most splendid fence. On this card the wreath looks fab hung over the top! Don't forget to stamp up your envelopes. The snowflake image below has not been used in any of the cards but is another really lovely image in this same sent. I also used the border stamped image on the envelopes. Also check out the ski's image being used as intended on this card. Those wreaths are irresistible to use whenever there is a hook! JoP x

Todays three cards using Alpine Adventures bundle are all sleighs or sleds! The wreath in the set is a very sweet image that comes with a matching thinly that cuts out the centre. While you have the set out, stamp out a whole pile of images and sentiments in soft suede, poppy parade, granny apple green and tranquil tide. Cut them out with the thinlits and you can rearrange on the front of the card until you find an arrangement that you like. Presents, holly, snowflakes and a wreath give you lots and lots of options - let alone the ski's and snowshoes! I came up with 7 combinations Lots of inspiration for using this set. JoP x

This set is so good and designs look fabulous on the new whisper white narrow notecards and envelopes. However, if you want a larger card, you could use the design and mount the white onto a larger red or green card. As with Candy Cane set, I chose this set as I think you can make a whole piles of cards with it. This time I came up with 7 variations! Some are featured today and some in next couple of days. Out of the two cards featured today I like the sleigh with the snowflake card the very best. See below. The Beauty of Alpine Adventures set is there are lots of different images available. I can see the set getting lots of use after Christmas when I am making scrapbook pages of winter also. I have used the red rhinestones a lot on the cards I am featuring with this set. JoP x

This tiny little inch square box is one of the freebie projects in this month's Big Shot bundle . See my monthly bundles page for more details. All of the above goodies are available to make 3 cards and the baby sleigh when you purchase the bundle from me. This stamp set and matching thinlits is the least expensive big shot bundle in the Seasonal Catalogue and it is so lovely and versatile! The stamp set has sentiments and images and a border I have totally fallen in love with and used on all of the cards I have featured in the next few days. And the thinlits include holly, snowflake and two sledge images. Also check out a later post for an alternative way to use the ski's image and thinlit!  I used a strip of the Candy Cane Season designer series paper to crap the box and bent the sleigh cut with the thinlits to make it 3D. I also bent the snowflake on top of the little present to make it look 3D and put a rhinestone in the middle. I secured it to the top o...
