Say Freeze Sheetload of cards edition

 

I tried to do a "Sheetload of Cards" following the instructions on Call Me Crafty Al's YouTube channel. The only thing is, I wanted to use a die to cut out the background paper, then I use scraps to make the stripes for the bottom. In a couple of cases I cut the strips out of the middle of the patterned paper so an image could be seen, like the snowmen in this first example. 

I used a variety of circle dies to back up the focal point or sentiment. Many of the sentiments are from Sassy's LLC.  I also used the sticker pad from a previous Say Freeze version to decorate the card insides.

I am up to 30 cards from this paper pad, so I may give it a rest after one or two that I've already started.

Say Freeze, two more.

 

Featuring Spellbinders' Chill Bear from 2021(?). The inside sentiment is from Sassy's LLC.



Here are some more slippers from Spellbinders' Cozy Toe Slippers large die of the month for October 2024.  The inside sentiment is also from Sassy's LLC, cut with a Spellbinders' fluted circle die.

Say Freeze, featuring Chilly & Freezy

 So, here are cards # 25 and 26 from the Michael's Say Freeze paper pad. These two 5 x 7 cards feature Chilly & Freezy, two little snowmen from Sizzix a couple of years back.

I was going to mix up the colors, but when I got the backgrounds all made up, the matching outfits looked a lot better.

Say Freeze, Third round.

 

Seven more 5 x 7 cards from the "Say Freeze" 12 x 12 paper pad. I had a little fun with the postage stamp die set from Waffle Flower, and some other random dies from my stash.

All the cards are decorated inside.

Say Freeze, second installment

 I've not made even a dent in it, but here are some more 5" x 7" cards using this year's version of Michael's "Say Freeze".

This one uses the cute slipper dies from Spellbinders, called "Cozy Toes Slippers". So cute!


More using the "Cozy Toes Slippers" from Spellbinders.  The sentiment is from My Favorite Things.  All the cards are decorated inside and have an inside sentiment.



The inside sentiment for this one was printed from my computer, in deep red.  Since I live in Florida it seems appropriate to wish for snow somewhere else.

Say Freeze, 2024 version

 Each year I end up buying more of the big paper pads from Michael's, and using one or 2 sheets out of it and then putting it aside.



This year, I have to decided to use the paper pad I bought this year, while it's fresh on everyone's mind. So here it is, this year's version of "Say Freeze", the annual snowman themed paper from Michael's Recollections.  The paper pad has 58 sheets in it, so my goal is to (eventually) make at least 30 cards with it. 

So, here are the first 11.  These are all A7, 5 x 7 inches. They are, for the most part, quickly made using the cut-aparts.  I am looking forward to the A7 rectangle dies that are coming next week, so the next installments will have better proportions.

Deer for the season.


 This is a generic deer die that's been in my stash for over 5 years.  I love those curly antlers. The other elements of this card were in my "Christmas extras" box. The background paper is from Honeybee Stamps.

Nordic moose!

 


I love this Nordic Moose from Poppy Stamps but doing it in white silhouette made it hard for me to photograph the details. Do you think he needs a bow on his antlers?


The red and green plaid paper is from Honey Bee Stamps, and the sentiment is from Spellbinders'.

He's propped up on Fiestaware plates.

Dancin' moose!

 

This is the "Dancin' Moose Klondike" from Spellbinders.  He's just so stinkin' cute!  The white panel is embossed with the 2D embossing folder of the month from July, "Hexi Snowflake", and the striped paper and gems are from a Michael's paper kit from last year.  The sentiment is a free printable from Sassy's LLC, a channel on YouTube.

He's so tall that it needed to be a 5 x 7" card!

Yes, he's propped up on a Fiesta plate.
