Sparkling Snowflakes

 Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today I have a sparkly winter card. 

I used the Simon Says Stamp - Refined Snowflakes 3D embossing folder to emboss the background. I die cut the snowflakes using Simon Says Stamp - Joy Snowflake and Divinity Designs - Snow Crystals die set. I die cut them on white glitter and silver glitter papers. I die cut the sentiment using The Greetery - Abundant Joy die set with the same papers. I layered the snowflakes and adhered it on toe background. I then adhered the sentiment with foam tape. I added some gems to finish it off.

Glittery Snowflakes

 Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today I have a glittery snowflake card to share with you.

The colors are inspired by Altenew Inspiration Challenge colors. 

I used the Altenew - Ribbon waves 3D embossing folder for the background. Then I inked it with Hero Arts Orchid and Passion Flower. I die cut snowflakes from Brutus Monroe glitterstock using Altenew - Layered Snowflakes 2 die set. I also die cut some thin frames using the Altenew - Fine Frames Cover die. I arranged all this on the panel and tweaked them till I liked the look. The sentiment - Altenew - Fancy Peace added the final finishing touch. I didn't like the design until I added the sentiment. I finally added some glittery gems (not sure what they are called, I think I bought them like 6 or 7 years ago). I wanted to add a "on Earth" below the Peace, but wasn't sure how/where to do it. So I left it as is.

Warm & Cozy Holiday

 Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog! I have a pink & purple Christmas card for you today.

This card was purely inspired by the Altenew Inspiration Challenge colors. I'm in full speed, making Christmas cards now and when I saw these colors, I wanted to try making Christmas cards with this scheme. 

I mostly lean towards traditional colors for Christmas cards, so this was a new challenge for me. But now I do have a few more ideas to try - wait and see ;) I ink blend the background with pink and purple inks - Hero Arts: Orchid, Ultra Pink and Passion Flower. Then I embossed the panel with Altenew - Geo Diamonds 3D embossing folder after spraying water on the back of the panel. Look how crisp the embossing is. Then I die cut some snowflakes on white card stock and vellum using the Altenew - Layered Snowflakes 2 die set. I layered vellum snowflakes on top of white snowflakes and adhered them on to the panel. I used the same 3 inks to stamp the sentiment little by little on a white card stock. The sentiment is from Altenew - Winter Crocus stamp set. I added a few gems for finishing touch. The vellum is not very visible in the pictures, but you can see it if you look long enough lol!

Snowflake Ornament

 Hello everyone! I have finally started working on my Christmas cards! Here's a shaker card with a blue snowflake ornament.

For this card, I used the Hero Arts - Snowflake Ornament. I die cut it in blue card stock. I used shaker mix from Doodle Paper Playground. The sentiment is from Divinity Designs. I stamped the sentiment in blue color to match the ornament.

Blue Snowflakes New Year

 Hello everyone! I have a quick and simple New Year card today.

I used the Inspired By Stamping - Snowflakes stamp set. Even though Inspired By Stamping is closed now, Joanna has the stamp sets in her Etsy shop. I stamped the snowflakes in 3 different teal shades of ink to create the background. The sentiment is from Power Poppy - Glistening Paperwhites stamp set.

Snowflakes

Hello everyone!!I'm on the Brutus Monroe blog today, with this foiled Christmas card.

I used the newest foil and designer toner sheets - the Gold static foil and the Winter Wonderland toner sheet. After foiling a piece of the toner sheet, I inked the sheet with Cabbage ink. I adhered double sided tape on to the card base and added foil to that to create a border. I adhered the foiled sheet on to the card base. I heat embossed the sentiment from Yuletide Greeting stamp set with Gilded Embossing powder.

This was a pretty quick and easy card, yet elegant and beautiful and Christmassy. What do you think?? Please do let me know! Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your day!

Snowflake Birthday

Hello everyone!! I'm on the Brutus Monroe blog today with a beautiful birthday card, that I made for my daughter who just turned 5!

I started by lightly inking an A2 card base with Sea surface ink over the Snowflakes stencil. For the shaker frame, I die cut the Sterling glitter stock with the Snowflakes Border die. For the other 3 sides of the frame, I cut it on my paper trimmer. I also die cut the sentiment "Happy Birthday" using the Happy Birthday Die. Then I assembled the shaker using foam tape, acetate panel and sequins from my stash. I added the glitter frame and sentiment on the acetate panel. 

My daughter loved this card! What do you think? Please do let me know in the comments below. Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day!
