Snowflakes & Pines

Congrats to Gail, the Featured Stamper on Splitcoast (FS306)! What a fabulous gallery! I chose her I Made a Wish card. I kept the layout but changed the colors, images and made mine a Christmas card.

The images are from Our Daily Bread designs. I stamped the snowflakes in cottage ivy ink on the white bg and a few more on another piece of white and die cut the large one and fussy cut the smaller two. I used a pine tree border along the bottom edge then sponged the edges w/ the new sprout ink. After attaching to a piece of designer paper, I added the cut off part of the pine tree border back on, but slightly shifted.

The sentiment was stamped inside the stamped bookmark. I trimmed the bookmark to just the frame part and attached it in the center of my snowflake bg w/ the cut out snowflakes on top. A little stickles was added in the center of the snowflakes and the finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.

Thanks so much for stopping by and congrats again, Gail! Enjoy your week!

Christmas Snowflakes

I made this for today’s Sketch Challenge on Splitcoast (SC414). It’s a very different sketch and I found it really challenging as it almost looks crowded to me. But in the end, I think it all worked out. Everything on this card was embossed w/ white powder.On the turquoise card stock, I used white pigment ink and on the white card stock, I used the Bahama blue dye ink and just worked very quickly.

The images are all from Our Daily Bread designs. On the large white background, I embossed the Snowflake Background w/ the blue ink and white powder. On the smaller turquoise rectangles, I white embossed the individual Sparkling Snowflakes. I also embossed a larger snowflake and smaller ones and used the matching ODBD/Spellbinders Snowflake Dies. The sentiment is from Christmas Blessings and after embossing, it was die cut w/ a circle die and attached to white die cut layer. After assembling, I attached a few crystals to the added snowflakes. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

ODBD December Release Blog Hop!

Hello friends! Welcome to the Our Daily Bread designs December Release Blog Hop! You might want to start at the ODBD Blog so you don’t miss anything!

I love these new snowflake sets! To me snowflakes are just so happy! I’m using the new Sparkling Snowflakes, Bookmarks-Snowflakes and 2 previously released sets for the sentiments, Perfect Gift and Holly Tag. I also used the Bookmark Dies to die cut the bookmark.

For the bookmark, I stamped it with the indigo pigment ink and embossed it with the stardust powder then die cut it with the bookmark die. The sentiment was stamped with the silver pigment ink and embossed with the same powder and die cut with an oval die. I made the bookmark double sided thinking it would make a lovely Christmas tree ornament until after the holidays. Then it could be used as a traditional bookmark. On my coordinating card, I embossed the snowflakes on the cobalt blue background and also stamped most of them again using the cobalt dye ink. I embossed one extra small snowflake and die cut it w/ a circle die to add in the center of the white holiday tag ornament star I hung from the white bow. The sentiment was also embossed on white, die cut attached to a larger cobalt oval then to a white die cut fancy tag. I added some crystals for a little extra bling.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
