Snowflake Christmas

Although these big felt flurries are discontinued, I like the way they adorn the front of a card. They add a nice texture to it. You can easily add more embellishments or just let the snowflake stand on its own. Thoughts? 




Stamps:
   Stars at Night

Paper:
   Raspberry Ripple A-2
   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2), Scrap
   Holiday Fancy Foil Vellum 5 x 3-3/4

Ink:
   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:
   CAS

Accessories:
   Big Felt Flurries
   Circle Rhinestone Brads
   Glue Dots
   Dimensionals
   Adhesive

First, I adhered the Holiday Fancy Foil Vellum to the Basic White panel, using glue dots.

I added the felt snowflake on to the top of the panel, using glue dots.

Next, I pierced a hole in the center of the snowflake and added a brad.

I then adhered the panel onto the Raspberry Ripple card front.

Next, I stamped the sentiment on a scrap of Basic White, using Tuxedo Black Memento.

I tore the paper around the sentiment and adhered it to the bottom of the card, using dimensionals.

Lastly, I adhered the other Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

   Adhesive

First, I adhered the Brightly Gleaming DSP panel to the bottom of a Basic White panel, using liquid adhesive. 

I then added adhesive to a large copper foil star, using a fine tip glue pen. I adhered it to the top of the same panel.

Next, I punched a couple of stars from the extra bits of the copper foil surrounding the foil elements, and adhered them with a glue dot.

I then took the ribbon and cut out a section with "Merry Christmas." 

Next, I punched the ends of the Night of Navy strip, using the Banners Pick a Punch. I adhered the ribbon to the center of this strip with a bit of tear & tape. 

I then attached this sentiment at the bottom of the panel with a few dimensionals.

Lastly, I adhered the panel to the Night of Navy card front and added the other Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Silver Ornament

 Although there are many ways to adhere intricate die cuts onto your cards, I find that multipurpose adhesive sheets are the way to go. Simply apply your paper onto an adhesive sheet, die cut, peel off the backing, and apply to your project. Have you tried it? Thoughts? 




Stamps:
   Beautiful Baubles

Paper:
   Smoky Slate A-2
   Night of Navy 5-3/8 x 4-1/8, 5-1/4 x 2, 2-3/4 x 2-1/2 (Adhesive-Backed)
   Siver Glimmer 2-1/4" Circle, 3/4 x 5-1/8 (Adhesive-Backed)
   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2), 5-1/4 x 1

Ink:
   Night of Navy

Technique:
   Dry Embossing
   Die Cutting
   Punching

Accessories:
   Swirls & Curls Embossing Folder
   Detailed Baubles Thinlits
   Flourish Thinlits
   Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets
   2-1/4" Circle Punch
   Dimensionals
   Adhesive

First, I dry embossed the Basic White strip, using the Swirls & Curls Embossing Folder. I adhered it to the top of the Basic White panel.

I then adhered the Night of Navy 2" panel to the Basic White panel right under the dry embossed piece.

Next, I die cut the adhesive-backed Night of Navy piece, using the Detailed Baubles Thinlit die. I peeled off the backing and adhered it to the Silver Glimmer Circle.

I then die cut the adhesive-backed silver glimmer strip, using the Flourish Thinlit die. I peeled off the backing and adhered it to the center of the Night of Navy strip on the Basic White panel.

Next, I added dimensionals to the back of the ornament and adhered it to the left side of the Night of Navy strip as shown above.

I then stamped the sentiment on the bottom right of the Basic White panel.

Next, I matted the panel with a Night of Navy matte and then adhered it to the Smoky Slate card front.

Lastly, I adhered the other Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Christmas Snowflakes

How fun to celebrate Christmas with a little shake. This is sure to put a smile on anyone's face. Thoughts? 




Stamps:
   Teeny Tiny Wishes

Paper:
   Pacific Point A-2
   Snowflake Splendor 5-1/4 x 4
   Basic White 3-1/2 x 4-3/4, 1 x 2-1/2, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)
   Window Sheet 3-1/4 x 4-1/2
   Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper (small snowflake)

Ink:
   Pacific Point

Technique:
   Shaker Card
   Dry Embossing

Accessories:
   Winter Snow Embossing Folder
   Washi Label Punch
   So Many Snowflakes Dies
   Snowflake Sequins
   Blue Adhesive-Backed Gems
   Felt Snowflakes
   Tear & Tape
   Foam Adhesive Strips
   Glue Dots
   Adhesive

First, I took the 3-1/2 x 4-3/4 Basic White panel and dry embossed it with the Winter Snow Embossing Folder.

I then die cut the center, using the die from So Many Snowflakes. I also took the smallest snowflake and die cut two, using the Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper.

Next, I stamped and punched out the sentiment, using Pacific Point and the Washi Label Punch. 

I then adhered the Window Sheet with a few glue dots onto the back of the die cut panel. 

Using foam adhesive strips, I enclosed the opening of the die cut. The foam strips will keep the sequins in view through the window sheet. I also added a foam strip on the outer edge of the panel to keep it from crushing down.

Next, I added my shaker card filling in the center of the DSP panel. I then added the window sheet panel on to the DSP. This was then adhered to the Pacific Point card front.

I added a Blue Felt Snowflake from my stash, using a glue dot, and adhered the sentiment with some liquid adhesive.

Lastly, I added the Balmy Blue Glimmer snowflakes, using glue dots, and adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

I don't use vellum often enough because I find it difficult to hide the glue marks. I used vellum tape on this one, but I can still see the residue. Thoughts?

   Vellum 5-1/4 x 4
   O Holy Night DSP 1-1/2 x 4

Next, I adhered the DSP panel with the ribbon to the bottom of the embossed vellum panel.

I then stamped and die cut the sentiment. 

Next, I adhered the vellum panel to the Misty Moonlight card front. I used vellum tape, but you can use liquid adhesive or glue dots.

Elegant Christmas

The Evergreen Border Punch may work better on a horizontal card. I think the trees look rather small on a vertical card. What do you think? Thoughts? 




Stamps:
   Evergreen Elegance

Paper:
   Soft Succulent A-2
   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)
   Tidings of Christmas DSP 3-3/4 x 4

   Cherry Cobbler
   Sahara Sand

Technique:
   Punching

Accessories:
   Evergreen Border Punch
   Myths & Magic Iridescent Washi Tape
   Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels
   Adhesive

First, I punched out my strip of evergreen trees, using the Evergreen Border Punch.

I then stamped these trees with a bit of Sahara Sand ink.

Next, I adhered the DSP to the top of the Basic White panel.

I then adhered the trees to the bottom of the DSP panel. I snipped the ends of the strip to align it with the Basic White panel.

I added the iridescent washi tape to the bottom of the trees and wrapped it around to the back of the panel.

I stamped the sentiment, using Cherry Cobbler ink.

Next, I adhered the panel to the Soft Succulent card front.

Lastly, I added a few Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels and adhered the other Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
