I die cut a circle from copy paper measuring about 6 by 4 ½” – using the Layering Circle dies and used the negative space to act as a mask. Using sponges I added Pool Party ink all over the circle then Bermuda Bay around the edge.

I stamped the small row of trees across the bauble in Early Espresso ink and added the in-fill in Shaded Spruce ink.

I added the ‘ground’ image under the trees in Pool Party ink and randomly stamped the snowflakes in the same ink before removing the copy paper to reveal the inked and decorated circle.

Snowflake Tree Ornament

Posted on November 28, 2020November 24, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Welcome to the November 2020 Ink, Stamp, Share Blog Hop. Our theme this month is ‘Christmas Tree Bauble’ and I have used the gorgeous So Many Snowflakes Dies to make my simple snowflake tree ornament. If you have started here of hopped over from my crafty friend Susan Simpson, you are very welcome.

To recreate the Snowflake Tree Ornament, you will need:

Magenta Madness card
Gold Foil card

Using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine I die cut 2 of the medium snowflakes from Gold Foil card and 4 smaller snowflakes from the Magenta Madness card.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A pretty snowflake tree ornament made for the Ink, Stamp, Share Blog Hop using the So Many Snowflake Dies

I used a rolled up Mini Glue Dot to adhere one of the Gold Foil snowflakes to the Gold Hoop. The second Gold Foil snowflake was added to the back using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to stick the snowflakes together.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A pretty snowflake tree ornament made for the Ink, Stamp, Share Blog Hop using the So Many Snowflake Dies

The Magenta Madness snowflakes were laid on my grid paper and sprayed with Champagne Shimmer Mist. This was made by pouring 70% alcohol into a Stampin’ Spritzer and adding a pea sized blob of Champagne Shimmer Paint before shaking well and spraying the snowflakes. This gives a lovely shimmer and the alcohol means it dries quickly.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A pretty snowflake tree ornament made for the Ink, Stamp, Share Blog Hop using the So Many Snowflake Dies

I used rolled up Mini Glue Dots to adhere a pink snowflake either side of the larger gold snowflake. The remaining pink snowflakes were added to the back with the liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A pretty snowflake tree ornament made for the Ink, Stamp, Share Blog Hop using the So Many Snowflake Dies

Gold twine was then added to the gold hoop to hang the ornament and Gold Glitter Dios were added to each snowflake, front and back. Pretty but very simple. I just love these bright pink snowflakes. I hope you like them.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Lighthouse at High Tide, a masculine all occasion card made using Stampin’ Up! products

Using the Stamparatus I lined up the ‘outer’ lighthouse image and stamped it in Night of Navy ink. The ‘inner’ lighthouse image was then stamped overtop in Pacific Point ink using the Stamparatus. The Stamparatus is fantastic for lining up these tricky images.

The tufts of grass were added in Old Olive ink and the sun image from the Mountain Air stamp set was stamped in So Saffron ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Lighthouse at High Tide, a masculine all occasion card made using Stampin’ Up! products

I punched a 1” circle using a punch and placed it over the stamped sun to act as a mask. Using one of the fabulous new Blending Brushes – coming in the new January – June 2021 catalogue – I applied Balmy Blue ink to the background. The mask was then removed and the seagulls from the Sailing Home stamp set were stamped in Basic Gray ink. I also stamped some seagulls at the top of the card front.

I inked up the nest with Cinnamon Cider ink and added some Early Espresso using an Early Espresso Marker and the ‘thumping technique’.
