Peet Roeven’s final card for this week is full of holiday elegance.
To begin, she colored our Creative Die, 51-480 Winter Berry Branch, in traditional reds and greens.
For added dimension and realism, she added Glossy Accents to the berries.
A gold splattered background, handstitching, and gold glitter paper create the perfect shimmering “home” for her berries and leaves (and a few snowflakes, too)!

Can you handle all of the cuteness on this card by Peet Roeven?
For this warm and cozy design, Peet has combined our miniature transparent set, 30-521 Nose to Nose, with our Creative Die set, 51-455 3 Snowflakes.
She colored her bears and accessories with colored pencils and then gave them lots of sparkle using Stickles glitter glue.
The textural snow for her scene was made by adhering Diamond Dust to cardstock using tacky glue.
To compliment her die cut snowflakes, Peet also created a stamped snowy background featuring our cling stamp, 40-640 Snowflake Medley. She heat embossed it in white and added watercolor on top.

Peet Roeven is back with us today and her card design brings new meaning to the phrase artful elegance!
Peet created this beautiful design using stamps from our transparent set, 30-497 Joyful Holiday.
She first stamped the floral image onto all four corners of her square panel.
She also stamped it a couple of extra times so she could fussy cut and layer those flowers onto her main panel for extra depth and dimension.
She cut out the center portion of her card giving the look of a beautifully adorned frame.
Her sentiment from our transparent stamp, 30-501 Joy & Merriment, was stamped with black ink onto the center of her design.
All of the elements were adhered together.
Finally, Peet embellished her card with sequins and self-adhesive pearls.

This week we are proud to have Peet Roeven here on our blog as she welcomes winter with her cardmaking talents.
And what better way to start the week than with this snowman smile?
Peet’s card features our miniature 3 x 4 inch transparent stamp set, 30-503 Happy Snowman.
She began by stamping her snowman and coloring him with watercolor pencils, blending the color using water and a paintbrush.
Next, she created her background using Creative Dies including our frame die set, 51-440 Elegant Stitching, snowbanks cut with our border die, 51-435 Curved Stitch, and embellishing with the frosty snow from our newest die set, 51-475 Winter Roof.
These elements were layered onto an artsy watercolor background.
With snow this cute, we certainly agree with the sentiment on Peet’s card!
