Merry Snowflake Wreath
Now that December & Christmas season is upon us, I’m in full Christmas card mode. And I couldn’t wait to try out this beautiful new Snowflake Wreath. It’s perfect for Christmas or even winter birthday cards, just change up the greeting. I stuck with a mostly white with just a touch of very pale aqua to give it a super frosty look. The snowflakes added on top were cut out of glitter paper to add some sparkle.
A big congrats to Diane, the newest Featured Stamper FS930! She has a lovely gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the wreath & snowflakes, but made a card instead of an ornament. I used a full snowflake wreath instead of just 3 on one side.
After I die cut the snowflake wreath, I attached it to a card board version for strength & stability. Then I die cut the white background w/ the missing wreath section, used a snowflake edger on the bottom, then attached it to a pale aqua background. The greeting was stamped onto the aqua & I used a Stardust gel pen to go over the letters for some glimmer. The larger snowflakes were die cut out of aqua & white glitter card & arranged on one side of the wreath. Some of the waste from the snowflake centers was added around the plain white part of the wreath & I also added some stickles here & there. All in all, a pretty quick card!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Christmas Truck Sign
Today, I have a Christmas card that was a lot of fun to make. Who doesn’t love a vintage red truck loaded with presents and a green Christmas tree? To give it a little more interest, I made a weathered sign background to put it on. This would look perfect hanging over a porch or outside a cute little Christmas shop.
For the Inspiration Challenge IC991, we are visiting The Tin Bin & their Pinterest Board. I was inspired by THIS wonderful picture. I knew I had the perfect dies to use for the red truck & weathered sign.
After die cutting the truck back (it also has a front view) & the new Christmas/Fall truck add ons, I set about putting them all together. It’s actually pretty easy & I have a tip for you on doing this. The truck front/back picture on the package is the actual size so put your pieces on top of the picture as you’re gluing them, & they will all be in the correct position. If you leave it inside the plastic package, any glue overrun can be easily wiped off. For the weathered sign, I used white for the inside but before die cutting it, I rubbed over the die (not the card stock) w/ a hickory smoke oxide ink pad. Then I carefully placed it on the white card & die cut it. The frame part of the sign was cut out of Kraft. The greeting banner was die cut & I inked the two word greeting separately, first w/ the red then w/ the chianti, & stamped each half on the inside of the banner pieces. I used a pine green Copic on the tree to give it a little dimension.
