Hello, Crafty Friends! Happy New Year! Don't Flurry, Be Happy! Today I am sharing my first card for 2025 and my new motto for the year ... BE HAPPY! I have come to the conclusion that life is too short, you have to be happy and do things that make you happy. This fun card featuring the Sweet November Stamps Downhill Dashers designed on a Waffle Flower Postage Collage A7 Die was the perfect card for my new motto ... because it totally makes me happy!
This SNS Downhill Dashers set is a large set with six absolutely adorable images! I love how big each of the images are! The images work well together or can be used independently. I loved them all so much and even moved to an A7 sized card to try to fit them all in but unfortunately I was just unable to fit all of the cuteness onto one card!
For my card design, I am using the Waffle Flower Crafts Postage Collage A7 Die. I am totally addicted to these postage collage style cards and this A7 size is amazing! The slightly larger size is perfect for those larger stamps.
I used the Waffle Flower Postage Collage A7 Die to diecut the panel out of Neenah Solar White 110 lb card stock. I used the Waffle Flower Postage Collage Blocks Stencil to mask off the edges of the stamp. I stamped the images from the Downhill Dashers stamp set onto each of the stamps with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
I really wanted to fit that larger image of the girl pulling the sled onto one stamp so I trimmed a piece of cardstock to exactly fit the inside of the outline for the bottom two stamps. I stamped the sentiment onto the piece of cardstock before adhering onto the panel. I also stamped the image of the girl pulling the sled and her dog onto a separate piece of cardstock so that I could fussy cut them out and pop them up with foam tape at the end.
I colored the images with Copic markers and accented with gel pens.

Next, I used some of the stamps from the Waffle Flower Postage Collage Stamps and Postage Collage Stamps Fall to stamp the stamp value onto the stamps. I adhered the panel to a piece of red cardstock before adhering it to a white card base (5" x 7"). I adhered the girl pulling the sled and her dog with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest.
