Winter Friends Class - November 2020
Here are the cards from my Winter Friends stamp and go class. They include many of my favorite things—the holidays, owls and snowmen! These guys are all so cute and will bring you much cheer. Recipes are included with each project and the supply details are listed at the end of this post. Thanks for stopping by!
Card 1: Owl with Present
On this card, the original stamp image was modified in 2 ways. First the hanging spider was covered with an ornament that was manually cut out. Then the surprised owl was covered with the die-cut owl holding a present. The owl holding the present is slightly smaller than the owl it is covering, so when the image was stamped on the soft sea foam cardstock, a 3/8” dot was placed on the wing portion of the owl so that it was not stamped.
Here is the recipe:

Card 4: Sliding Snowman Gate Card
I saw this sliding center piece that holds the gate card together on a card made by another demonstrator and knew I had to try it using snowmen. The middle piece actually slides off the card. The card base is scored at 2 ¼” from the left and 2” from the right. Then on the 2” side, a small sliver (less than 1/8”) was trimmed from the edge to allow space for the center piece to slide more freely. The sliding center was made in layers as follows:
First layer – Stitched circle stamped with snowman with hat
2nd layer – Mossy Meadow square cardstock
3rd layer – 2 punched circles at 2 ¼”. Fold circles in half, then adhere to back of Mossy Meadow Cardstock. Line up half circles so the join is down the middle and oriented vertically on the Mossy Meadow cardstock.
4th layer – Stitched circle stamped with snowman looking at sky
Here is a side view of the piece.
