Snowstorm

 

Esther here today sharing this frosty winter card that uses the BRAND NEW Snowstorm stencil. 

To create my card I pressed Versamark watermark ink through the snowflake stencil on mixed media paper, removed the stencil, added white embossing powder, and heat set. Next, I used Prize Ribbon distress ink to do some ink smooshing and then inked the edges with Chipped Sapphire distress ink. I added the largest snowflake from Large Snowflake dies set and then a die cut sentiment over that.

Holly Christmas

   PRODUCT LINKS BELOW CONTAIN COMPENSATED AFFILIATE LINKS AT NO COST TO YOU

Hello Sweet Friends! Sheri here today with a Christmas card featuring the Holly Christmas stamp set from the September 2022 Christmas Release! This set does have a coordinating die set available! You can find the September 2022 Fall and Christmas Release HERE.

For my card I wanted to create an embossed background panel with a mix of the beautiful Holly images in the set for an elegant design. This type of card can easily be mass produced for the holidays.

 

Card Measurements:

White A2 Top Fold Card Base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2")

Gold Mat: 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"

Cranberry Panel: 3 3/4" x 5"

Vellum Sentiment Strip: 5" x 1 3/4" 

 

Steps to Create Card:

• Create a White A2 Top Fold Card Base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2")
• Cut Gold Mat: 3 7/8" x 5 1/8". For my sample I wanted the Gold Mat to perfectly match my embossed panel, so I took a piece of white card stock measuring 3 7/8" x 5 1/8" and ran my embossing pad (VersaMark) around the edges and embossed with the same embossing powder that I will be using on the main panel. 
• Take burgundy card stock and randomly stamp the holly stamps to cover the panel. I used a Misti (stamp positioner). You can stamp all the images and embossed at the end but I recommend adding the powder after you stamp each image. This allows you to see the placement and prevent the ink from drying. You will need to work quickly.
• Add a little ink blending to your stamped panel. I used a combination of Cranberry and Charcoal Brown ink. I was heavy handed with the cranberry but was very light handed with the Charcoal Brown ink and only added to the outer edges.
• Take Strip of Vellum 5" x 1 3/4" and stamp and emboss the sentiment. I used the same gold embossing powder. Next attach the strip of vellum to the panel by wrapping it around and securing it from the back.
• Assemble card. Foam tape is optional, I popped up the bottom panel for some dimension.
• For embellishment I added a few gold solid confetti sequins.
