Snowflake Wishes is Delightful

 This stamp set and the matching dies are just delightful to work with. They make creating so easy! There are many fun ways to use the stamps and dies. I loved this idea inspired by Tammy Wilson who is an Artisan Demonstrator for Stampin' Up! 


To create the snowflakes, I sponged the colors on Whisper White Cardstock with a blending brush (soon to be added to the Stampin' Up! store). I used Coastal Cabana, Highland Heather and Balmy Blue. 



I cut out the snowflakes from part of the paper and I cut a 5" x 3 3/4" panel for the card front.


I attached the card front panel to a card base of Purple Posy cardstock.

I embossed a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of vellum with the Winter Snow embossing folder. I tore off the bottom edge of the vellum, brushed the edge with Highland Heather ink and attached the vellum to the card.

The vellum is attached with small strips of Stampin' Seal. The adhesive did not show through the vellum because of the embossing. Perfect!


After attaching the snowflakes with glue and painting them with a bit of Wink Of Stella (I hope you can see the sparkle), I added the greeting with Stampin Dimensionals. The greeting is stamped in Versamark on Highland Heather cardstock and heat embossed with White embossing powder.

This is topped off with lots of self adhesive Snowflake Sequins - lovely!

And don't forget the finish the inside - I used the negative of the die cut snow flakes to stencil the images on a piece of Whisper White Cardstock, using the same wonderful colors but keeping them very muted - like shadows.

Multi Media made SIMPLE!

 I saw a beautiful multimedia tag made by a wonderful demonstrator, Ruth Trice (artful Stampin'). Her project was full of fun, lovey ideas and I have borrowed them to create this Mixed Media card - HOWEVER, remember, my version is a bit simplified. And I know you will find it easy to make your own.


I had a lot of fun creating this card.  First I created the tag with Sahara Sand Cardstock. It is 2" wide and 5 1/4" long. 

 One unique feature on the tag was the butterfly elements.
I used the Silver Foil paper and colored the foil with the Bermuda Bay Stampin Blends. This created a background for stampin the butterflies in Versamark and heat embossing them with Gold Embossing Powder. They came out so fun!


This doesn't look so great - but try it - it really turns out great - Thanks to Ruth Trice for dreaming up the idea.

I also used Ruth's idea of tearing the designer series paper and stamping and heat embossing right on the designer series paper. It is something I have done for a long time. To make the paper stand out a bit, I inked the edge with the Bermuda Bay stamp pad. I just applied the ink directly from the stamp pad. Of course, you could just a sponge. I love the look.


I also stamped and heat embossed the leaves from one of my favorite stamp sets, Forever Fern, in whisper White embossing powder.

I added some sprinkles in Bermuda Bay ink on the Sahara Sand tag with the stamp from Forever Fern. Then I added the strip of designer series paper from the Boho Indigo Product Medley. This has been stamped with more leaves that are heat embossed in gold.


A strip of the beautiful reversible ribbon (attached with glue) and a piece of Polka Dot Tulle (attached with glue dots) complete the next layer. The Butterflies are attached with glue dots.

To finish the tag - I added some of the delightful paper flowers from the Boho Indigo Product medley. You will love using these simple and lovely flowers.

I used Merry Merlot to create the card base and added a rectangle of the Boho Indigo designer series paper. Next, I tucked in some leaf elements from the amazing Forever Gold Laser Cut Specialty paper but I turned the paper overs so the leaves are white, not gold.

I attached the tag to the card base with Foam Adhesive Strips




These are some of the products I used. Don't be afraid to experiment with your own stamps, punches, ribbons and oh yes- coloring the foil paper! So amazing.




Don't forget to take advantage of the lovely Curvy Celebrations bundle until January 4 and take advantage of 10% off the whole bundle (2 stamps, dies, & paper).
