Good Friends Are Like Snowflakes

Hello everyone!  Betsy on the blog today sharing this gorgeous elegant

friendship card that's so appropriate for the season.  It's an easy

card to make and gets the message across beautifully!

For today's project I used:

First I covered my A2 size top folding white card base with a silver pearl card stock.

Next I stamped my image.  Because Suzanne's calligraphy is so beautiful, I like to

be able to retain that meticulous elegance.  So, I stamped this with Versafine Clair

Nocturne Ink and then heat embossed it with Kells Gold Modern Gilding Powder.

This always gives me a crisp edge when embossing.

I added my patterned paper cut on an angle and adhered it to the base.  Then I added

a 1/4" strip of gold paper and adhered it to the edge.

I added some silver gemstones and a few snowflake sequins and my card was finished.

I am always surprised at how fast simple cards work up.  And yet the finished

project was every bit as elegant as I hoped it would be!

Hello everyone! Welcome to Day 1 of the Quietfire - Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Blog Hop and Giveaway! 

We're so lucky to be playing along this week with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®!  We're going to have lots of inspiration from two whole design teams and the goodness will continue all week.  Make sure you enter to win the prizes - read on to the end of the post for details!

We'll start with our Yogi who is the Queen of Easel Cards. The great thing about easel cards is you can see the inside and outside of the card at the same time.

I'm using an A Way With Words dies "Brrrr" and sentiment and quote stamps from Quietfire Design. ("A Whisper on My Nose..."); ("Let It Snow Snowman" 5pce set)

Scored, folded my deep blue cardstock to create the easel. Cut another piece same size as card and adhered to front using the EZ Runner Permanent Adhesive.

I raided my stash of Oxide backgrounds I made a while back... Trimmed down and adhered to front offset.

Die cut some snowflake borders (Memory Box "Frosty Border") from white cardstock. Inked with Versamark and embossed with Emerald Creek "Soft Fallen Snow". Pieced 2 together and adhered to left edge.

Adhered three adhesive backed foam snowflakes (Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L "3D Foam Holiday Embellishment Kit"). Removed the release liner from the front and sprinkled with Stickles dry glitter "Diamond".

Stamped the quote using Versafine "Majestic Blue" and embossing with Emerald Creek "Blue Sparkle" embossing powder.

On the floor: stamped the various items using Distress Picket Fence and embossing with white embossing powder.

Painted the snow angel with Kuretake Gansai Tambi Pearl Color paints

Die cut the "Brrr" from DoCrafts Silver mirror cardstock.

Cut, scored and adhered the die cut word and then adhered it to the floor to act as my stopper.

It seems Monday is blue day!  Kathy Jo has also used winter blues and snowflakes for her project.

Hello Crafty Friends!  Welcome to Day 1 of the Quietfire Design and ScrapbookAdhesives by 3L Blog Hop!  This is Kathy Jo from the Quietfire Design Team and I am happy to help kick start this Blog Hop...so let's get crafting...

With Christmas quickly approaching, I decided to create a shimmery snowflake card.  The card's gorgeous and sweet sentiment is QuietfireDesign's Good Friends are Like Snowflakes stamp.  It was stamped on white card stock and cut to size.  A circle die cut was placed on top of the sentiment and blue ink applied.  It was mounted using 3D FoamSquares onto the card front.

Next, the happy snowflakes from the 3D FoamHoliday Embellishments Kit were applied.  The blue foil from the same kit was adhered to the top (how easy!) and gems added.

 

 

The card came together in a flash and was too fun to make.  Also, the card is perfect to give away at Christmas and the recipient can keep it on display well into the new year.

Good Friends are Like Snowflakes

Isn't this a beautiful sentiment!  Good Morning, this is Selma Stevenson today.  I'm sure any friend would love to receive this friendship card.

The above sentiment was stamped onto white card stock using VersaMark Ink and silver embossed.  To create a frame, Dotted Scallop Oval Rectangles die set was used to die cut around the sentiment.  A larger Dotted Scallop Oval Rectangle was used to die cut a silver glittered frame.

For the background three layers of card stock were used:  blue, silver glittered and a piece of snowflake design paper.  The Oval Frames were attached with dimensional tape.

To bring out the snowflake theme, I used the A Way With Words - Let It Snow die and used only the "snow" die cut.  This was die cut using silver glitter card stock. 

Three large snowflakes were die cut from silver glitter card stock and added around the oval frame.  Small silver sticker snowflakes were attached on the oval and around the frame.  Glitter Dot Peel Off Stickers were added to the snowflakes.
