Kindness is Like Snow


Hey Quietfire Fans! It's hard to believe that Christmas will be here in not time at all, so today, I figured I would get started on creating a Christmas card. By combining a variety of stamps as well as dies from A Way With Words, they were the perfect for my card. You'll want to grab a cup of your favourite Christmas beverage and learn how to recreate my card at home.

To start, you'll need the sentiment from the Kindness is Like Snow Stamp set. Apply Emboss It Ink to the sentiment and stamp onto a piece of black cardstock. Sprinkle Kells Gold Modern Gilding Powder over the sentiment. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. Once the powder has cooled, cut the sentiment into four strips.


On a scrap piece of white cardstock, apply a coat of Emboss It Ink to the cardstock. Sprinkle Kells Gold Modern Gilding Powder overtop of the cardstock piece. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. Once the powder has cooled, die cut the stars from the Peace on Earth Die twice out of the embossed cardstock. You'll need five of the stars.


Apply Emboss It Ink to the Snowflake from the Kindness is Like Snow stamp set and stamp onto a piece of black cardstock. Sprinkle Copper Scroll Modern Gilding Powder over the stamped snowflake. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. Fussy cut the snowflake out. Adhere seven silver foil pearls at the points on the snowflake. 


Die cut the Ornament from the Love, Joy & Peace Christmas Ornament out of black cardstock. Cut the loop at the top of the ornament off. 


Die cut a 2 1/4" Stitched Circle out of black cardstock.


Cut a piece of black cardstock that measures 3 1/2" x 4 1/2". Apply Emboss It Ink to the Crackle Background stamp and stamp onto the piece of black cardstock. Sprinkle Copper Scroll Modern Gilding Powder overtop of the stamped background. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.


Adhere the ornament to the stitched circle. Foam square the ornament to the middle right hand side of the crackle background piece. The flourish portion of the ornament will hang over the right hand edge of the background cardstock piece. Foam square the snowflake to the middle of the stitched circle.


Use thin foam squares to adhere the five stars as desired around the ornament as desired.


Use adhesive and foam squares to adhere the sentiment strips to the bottom right hand side of the ornament as desired. Cut a cardbase out of white cardstock that measures 3 1/2" x 9", score at 4 1/2". Adhere the cardfront to the cardbase.


Here are a few closeup photos of the finished card.






Here is the finished Kindness is Like Snow Card.
