Embossed Snowflakes

Posted on October 9, 2020October 4, 2020 by Mo Rootes

I am sharing a pretty card today featuring embossed snowflakes made using the So Many Snowflake Dies and the Snowflake Wishes stamp set.

To recreate the embossed snowflakes card you will need:

Misty Moonlight card base –- 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2
Scrap Whisper White, Magenta Madness & Misty Moonlight

Using my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the So Many Snowflake dies I die cut the largest snowflake from one of the Whisper White panels. This die only cuts out a negative image and it is so pretty.

I then ran the die cut panel through the Dainty Diamonds Embossing Folder. The layer was then added to the Misty Moonlight card base on Dimensionals.

I die cut a medium sized snowflake from scrap Magenta Madness card and a smaller snowflake from scrap Misty Moonlight card.

These were layered on top of the card base using Mini Glue Dots.

The sentiment from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set was stamped on scrap White card in Magenta Madness ink, the ends were flagged and the strip was glued to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I added a Elegant Faceted Gem to the centre of the snowflake and added a scattering of Adhesive Backed Snowflakes to complete the card.

I stamped the sentiment from the A Merry Hello stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and the bottom of the Whisper White panel. Stamping the sentiment first helps with placement when stamping the sweet little stockings.

Using the same black ink I stamped the trio of stockings twice across the panel. I found them really easy to line up.

I used the following Blends Markers to colour in the stockings – Poppy Parade, Old Olive and Misty Moonlight. Love these colours together, don’t you?

The decorated panel was glued to the Misty Moonlight panel with the liquid glue. The whole panel was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

Joyful Holly

Posted on October 7, 2020October 1, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Here is a really sweet Christmas card using the Joyful Holly stamp set and some gorgeous gold edged Poppy Parade ribbon.

To recreate the Joyful Holly card you will need:

Balmy Blue card base – 8 ¼” by 5⅞” – Rounded upper left corner
Poppy Parade – 5⅞” by 2⅜” – Rounded upper left corner
Whisper White – 1⅞” by 1⅞” – Rounded upper left corner on 2 of the panels
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper left corner – for the inside
Scrap Whisper White

I began by randomly stamping one of the outline holly images using Memento Tuxedo Black ink all over the 3 Whisper White squares. It doesn’t matter which of the 2 images you use, you can use both if you want to.

Using Old Olive ink and the corresponding inner image I added colour to all the holly leaves. I used Poppy Parade ink to stamp the berries and coloured in the background using Balmy Blue Blends Markers.

The stamped panels were glued to the Poppy Parade panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped some of the gold edged Poppy Parade ribbon from the All the Trimmings ribbon duo pack around the panel and used Sellotape to secure it on the back. Tis ribbon is stunning, it is so sparkly and super easy to tie.

I stamped the in-fill image of the holly leaves down the centre of the Balmy Blue card base, just to give a little peek of colour. I added the decorated panel to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Christmas Gleaming stamp set was stamped in Poppy Parade ink onto scrap White card, trimmed it out with scissors and tucked it under the raised panel and secured it with the liquid glue.
