Snowflake Love

Posted on August 5, 2023 10:16 PM by Julie Comment

A big congrats to Cindy, the newest Featured Stamper (FS861)! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the Love part & the layout, but I made mine a Christmas theme, used snowflakes & different colors.

For my silvery snowflake card, I wanted it to be really shiny so I glued a heavy weight aluminum foil to card stock then die cut it twice: first w/ a mini slimline then w/ a piercing die of flowers & swirls. It looks terrific in person, but it’s so hard to photograph. I also die cut some snowflakes & the Love out of the same foiled cardstock. The flowers & leaves were die cut out of 3 shades of blue & silver snowflakes attached on top. The greeting says ” Peace. Love. Joy” but I replaced the Love word w/ the die cut version.

I used a dk blue snowflake paper for the sides. I die cut it w/ the same mini slimline die then cut it in half & attached it on either side of the foil panel.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge (IC922) & I chose 1st Dibs & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS beautiful lamp.

For my Christmas card, I die cut the lt aqua & printed panels, then backed the printed w/ a narrow layer of darker aqua. The poinsettia is a combo of 2 different poinsettia dies cut out of lt aqua, dk aqua, red & silver glitter papers. I popped each flower layer up just a tad & added silver stickles to the center. I used just the Christmas word of the longer greeting & finished it w/ the Wishes w/ shadow die cut.

The popped up layers of the poinsettia are a little easier to see below.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Snowflake Joy

Posted on July 29, 2023 10:27 PM by Julie Comment

An A2 sized Christmas card made using one of a mini slimline set of dies. Add some lovely paper, some die cut snowflakes & Joy on a fancy oval & you have a beautiful card!

A big congrats to Jennifer, the newest Featured Stamper (FS860)! She’s a scrapper w/ a lot of beautiful pages. After much browsing, I chose THIS page to case. I kept the Christmas theme & most of the layout, but changed it to an A2 card, used different paper & dies & simplified it to fit the space.

For my card, I used a mini slimline die to cut the lovely holly paper and also the wine red piece. On the red, I stamped some holly berries w/ Brilliance moonlight white ink. I used this ink because it dries faster than my pigment ink & it’s also not quite as bright. I really didn’t want the berries to stand out that much. A leftover diagonal strip along w/ 2 white glitter strips were added in between the red & the holly paper. A fancy oval die was used on the sea green & I fussy cut a red layer to go behind it. The Joy was die cut out of white glitter paper as were the 3 snowflakes.

The Joy was popped up as were the snowflakes to give them a little dimension.
