Merry Snowflake Wreath

Posted on November 30, 2024 9:44 PM by Julie Comment

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!

I have an easy to make Christmas card today, featuring a super cute snowman and 2 different printed paper backgrounds. The very sparkly gold accents are actually wrapping paper adhered to card stock. This is an easy layout to swap out for any image, color or paper you want to use.

A big congrats to Chris, the newest Featured Stamper (FS917)! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & split designer paper background, but I used different images, dies & papers. I already had the snowman colored & die cut, so I picked 2 patterns from the Snowflake Fun paper pack that went w/ him. Turns out, I only needed 1 sheet because the top pattern is actually the reverse side of the green snowflake paper. I used a stitched rectangle to cut the entire front, cut the top third & flipped it over. Where the come together is covered by the gold glitter strip. That glitter strip is actually very sparkly wrapping paper that I adhered to card stock to make it easy to cut. I also cut a couple of snowflakes out of it.

I used the long narrow die from the Impossible Fold die set to cut the glitter band going across the card front. The greeting was stamped on a small tag die.

These are the Copics I used. I colored this snowman when I did the others on this card below, but didn’t use him then.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Merry Stocking

Posted on August 23, 2024 9:55 PM by Julie Comment

A fun, easy to make Christmas card using a wonderful stocking die cut and pretty snowflake paper. Die cut this sweet stocking out of different papers to change it up and this would be easy to make a bunch of cards in a hurry.

For the Inspiration Challenge we are visiting Over the Moon & their Pinterest Board. I was inspired by THIS red & white Christmas stocking,

My card is pretty easy. I chose this wonderful red & white snowflake paper, die cut the background out of it then die cut the white panel to go on top. Since the white panel would cover a good portion of the background, i postioned the main stocking body to cut it in the hidden area. The greeting was stamped in the upper right, then I used Brilliance Platinum to stamp snowflakes across the greeting panel. It’s very subtle but adds a nice touch, The stocking parts were put together then I popped the whole stocking up for dimension.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
