Snowflakes on an embossed panel for a sweet Christmas Card made using Stampin' Up! products

Embossed Snowflakes

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.

The In The Pines stamp set used to make an Christmas card for the Hopping Around the World blog hop

Holiday Mini Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Thank you for joining me today for the Stamp ‘n Hop blog hop where our theme this month is ‘Holiday Mini’. I love this time of year with Autumn and Christmas…… so many lovely things to chose from. If you have hopped on from the lovely Sandra Hertzog, I am sure you loved her project. You are now with Mo Rootes in the UK.

I have chosen to use the In the Pines stamp set to make a fairly simple card.

To recreate the Holiday Mini card you will need:

Pool Party card base – – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Early Espresso – 5 ¼” by 3 ½”
Whisper White – 5” by 3 ¼”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – for the inside
Scrap Early Espresso

I placed the smaller panel of Whisper White in the Stamparatus, upper right corner and set up the outline of the large pine tree on one of the panels. I stamped the image with the Early Espresso ink on the left, moved along one step and stamped again without re-inking. I inked again with the same ink and repeated both steps to give 4 trees.

I lined up the inner tree image on top of the 1st stamped tree and picked it up with the back of the plate. I inked it up with Shaded Spruce ink and stamped it onto the first tree then moved along one hinge step to stamp the second tree and repeated the process.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A pretty trio of cards made using the Coming Home Bundle by Stampin’ Up!

This card was CASE’d from my lovely upline Mikaela Titheridge – check out her original here  – with a few tweaks of my own.

We embossed the Gray Granite layer using the Brick and Mortar embossing folder and glued it to the Gray Granite card base.

I had die cut ahead of time the stitched rectangle using the Stitched So Sweetly dies. The ladies stamped the medium and small house onto the rectangle in Gray Granite ink and added the panel to the card front.

The larger house and the small tree were stamped in the same ink and die cut using the Home Together dies. The following Blends were used to colour in the die cut house and tree – Gray Granite, Just Jade, Poppy Parade, So Saffron, Misty Moonlight and Balmy Blue. The house was them added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I had die cut the heart for the ladies and the words ‘hooray and welcome’ from the Well Written dies. The ladies trimmed off the HO of hooray and the OME of welcome and glued the o’s one on top of the other to create the word HOME. The word New came from the Well Said stamp set  – -time for a NEW adventure and was stamped on scrap Whisper White and trimmed out with scissors. To complete the card we added a White Baker’s Twine bow.

To recreate the row of cars card you will need:

Thick Whisper White card base – 8 ¼” by 5⅞” – scored on the long side at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Misty Moonlight – 5¾” by 4” – rounded upper left corner

I made this card for the son of a friend who has just passed his driving test.

We embossed the Misty Moonlight panel using the brick and Mortar embossing folder and added it to the Thick Whisper White card front.

The car were stamped across the thin strip of Whisper White card in Gray Granite ink leaving space to add the final card after it had been stamped, die cut and coloured.

The Poppy Parade border was cut using the Ornate Borders dies and added to the back of the stamped layer. The whole strip was then added to the card front.

We stamped the sentiment from the Well Said stamp set on a scrap strip of Whisper White in Misty Moonlight ink. The negative scallop from the Poppy Parade border was added as a little pop of colour. To finish we wrapped a piece of Linen Thread around the sentiment and tied it in a bow.

To recreate the Snowy House card you will need:

Just Jade card base – 8 ¼” by 5⅞” – scored on the long side at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Misty Moonlight – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – rounded upper left corner

The final card is a Christmas card – yay…… We used a blending brush (you could use a wedge of sponge or a dauber) to add Balmy Blue ink to one of the Whisper White panel. The panel was then added to the Misty Moonlight layer.

We stamped the house and large tree in Gray Granite ink onto scrap Whisper White card and die cut them. They were coloured in using the same Blends Markers.

The houses were positioned on the card front and snowflakes were stamped around the roof before the house and tree were stuck down with Dimensionals. The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set was stamped in Misty Moonlight ink.

A piece of Poppy Parade ribbon was wrapped around the layer and tied in a bow. The whole panel was then added to the Just Jade card front.

Next I die cut some of the adorable houses from the Trimming the Town dsp using the Home Together Dies. I love it when the die set co-ordinate with some of the dsp images, so easy to make a quick card. The houses were glued to the stamped rectangle with the same liquid adhesive.

The large tree from the Coming Home stamp set was stamped onto scrap Whisper White card in Early Espresso ink and coloured using the Shaded Spruce and Soft Suede Blends Makers It was added to the stamped panel on Dimensionals.

Using the Banner Triple Punch I flagged both ends of the DSP strips and glued them to the front of the Pool Party card base using the liquid glue. These were 2 scrap pieces that happened to co-ordinate with the colour combo I was using. You can use anything you happen to have.

Using a Paper Trimmer I cut off the left hand side of the scalloped Rectangle piece and added it to the card front with the liquid glue. The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set was stamped onto the card front with Misty Moonlight ink and a trio of Adhesive-backed Snowflakes added to complete the card.

A pretty flirty snowman Christmas card made using the Snowman Seasons stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Flirty Snowman

This Flirty Snowman card started out as a swap I received at OnStage Live in Dortmand from one of my lovely team mates Katie Van Der Heijden. She designed the 3” by 3” Coastal Cabana square as a mini pizza box topper. I went rogue and added mine to a card front.

To recreate the Flirty Snowman card you will need:

Flirty Flamingo card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Coastal Cabana 3” by 3”
Whisper White 2⅞” by 2⅞”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – for the inside
Scrap Flirty Flamingo

Katie had stamped the snowman from the Snowman Seasons stamp set with Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto the small panel of Whisper White.

The snowman was coloured in by Katie using the following Blends Markers – Smoky Slate combo, Flirty Flamingo combo and Purple Posy combo.  A trio of Basic Pearls, coloured with the dark Flirty Flamingo Blends Marker was added.

The snowflakes were then stamped around the edges with Coastal Cabana ink and the stamped panel was then added to the Coastal Cabana layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

IThe sentiment was stamped onto scrap Flirty Flaming cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and punched out using the Classic Label punch. The right side was trimmed down and the sentiment added on Dimensionals.

I took a Flirty Flamingo card base and stamped the snowflakes in Flirty Flamingo ink in 3 places to form a triangle which is apparently pleasing to the eye. The stamped topper was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I stamped the remaining Whisper White layer and the front of the envelope with the snowflakes in Coastal Cabana ink.

I hope you and Katie like my re-purposing of this swap.
