12 WEEKS TIL CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN SERIES

 

    Hello, 

        Welcome to Week 10 on our countdown til Christmas Series. I sure hope you are finding ideas for your holiday cards from these posts. I had so much fun creating this week with the Snowbody Better Stamp Set from the July - December Mini Catalogue 2021. If you haven't noticed this set pop over to page 28. The image is huge and perfect for Stampin' Blends coloring like I did, or watercoloring with Pencils or Ink.This one is a for sure keeper in my Craft Stash. 

 Here's what you need to make it:

Snowbody Better Stamp Set 

Wonderful Snowflakes 

Stitched Rectangle Dies 

Whimsy & Wonder DSP 4' x 5 1/4'.

Thick Basic White Card Stock Base 5 1/2' x 8 1/2', scored at 4 1/4'.

Scrap of Blushing Bride Card Stock for the sentiment.

Basic White Card Stock 3 1/2' x 4 3/4' for diecut.

Ink: Memento Black, Pool Party, VersaMark. 

Stampin' Blends: Pool Party (L),Flirty Flamingo (L), Misty Moonlight (L&D), Pumpkin Pie (D).

White Glittered Organdy 3/8' Ribbon.

Metalic Pearls in silver.

Silver Embossing Powder & Heat Tool. 

Start by adhering your DSP piece to your Thick Basic White Card Stock Base with Stampin' Seal.Next, with the Stitched Rectangle Dies and the Basic White Card Stock for die cutting, you will run together the layer thru the Cut & Emboss Machine. Using Black Memento Ink and the snowpeople image you will stamp that on your Die Cut Rectangle piece. With your Stampin' Blends color in the snowpeople how you like, note the pool party was used to add highlighting on the whites of the snow for more definition. When done, apply Dimensionals to the back of the colored in piece and adhere to the center of the DSP on the card front. Place a Wonderful Snowflake in the top left corner with a Glue Dot in the center. Cut a second one in half and place in the lower right corner tucking behind the die cut layer. With the VersaMark Ink , pick a sentiment and stamp that onto your Scrap of Blushing Bride Card Stock, Sprinkle with Silver Embossing Powder and Heat Set. Fussy Cut around the letters to your desired look. Place a Glue Dot in the lower left corner of the die cut rectangle and "z" your ribbon by securing on the Glue Dot, you may need more than one. With Dimensionals on the back of the Sentiment, attach that over the ribbon middle to hide your Glue Dots. Place three Sliver Metallic Pearls on the card front. Finish your inside & envelope with the snowflackes stamped in Pool Party Ink, and the hat stamped in Black Memento and colored with Stampin' Blends to match what you did on the card front snowpeople.
