Brrrr - Christmas Waves A Magic Wand - Let It Snow

Yogi here today and I got a few more Penny Black stamps and wanted to use them right away... BIG GRIN - I LOVE getting new stuff...

I'm using an A Way With Words dies  "Brrrr and Snowflake" 2pce set from Elizabeth Craft Designs, also available on Quietfire Design HERE

I'm also using a quote and background stamp from Quietfire Design ("Christmas Waves A Magic Wand..."); ("Let It Snow" 6pce set)

 

 Scored and folded my dark brown cardstock to create the easel structure (5"w x 7"h card closed). Cut another piece same size and adhered to front.

Using my Tim's Stampin' Platform and Distress pads stamped the Jingle Bells Trio. Moved color around with a water brush. Dried. Cut a mask for the bells and stamped the evergreen (Old Island #626D) on the left several times to create a more massive tree... Used the tip of the stamp to stamp smaller trees on the right side. Cut a piece of cardstock in a wavy design and sponged some blue to give shadows in the snow. Again with my Derwent Watercolor pencil and using the side of the pencil colored the sky background. Moved color around with a wet brush. Stamped the snowflakes with Distress Picket Fence and embossed with Emerald Creek "Glacier White" embossing powder. Masked the bells again and splattered white ink all over. Added a white snowflake button.

Stamped the "Let It Snow" using Versafine Black Onyx and clear embossed.

On the floor: Stamped the quote using Versafine Black Onyx on white cardstock. Clear embossed. Die cut with Elizabeth Craft Designs "Stitched Circles" die set. Sponged some blue around the edges. Adhered to floor.

Adhered the die cut snowflake embossed with the Glacier White.

Die cut the "Brrrr" from Dreamweaver Packaging cardstock and adhered to a piece of the brown cardstock, scored and adhered to floor to act as my stopper.

Christmas in July: Let it Snow!

Hello everyone,
Yvonne here with a "Christmas in July"-card using  the Quietfire stampset "Let it Snow Flourished Snowflakes". For my card I only used the text, but the stampset also contains gorgeous flourished snowflakes (set of 6 stamps).

The card is simple to make: use an embossing folder for the background, a corner punch and a lot of bling!

Hope you like the card
and although we are having beautiful, warm summer weather here in Holland, I wish you a lovely Christmas in July ;-)

Thanks for stopping by

Hugs from Holland,
Yvonne

Let it snow....

Hello everyone,
Yvonne here with a card using the Quietfire Design stampset "Let it Snow Flourished Snowflakes".

It took just this gorgeous set of stamps to make the card...no patterned paper, no die-templates!
It's so simple to make your own patterned paper.

How to make the card:

1. Stamp the snowfalkes of the stampset upon white cardstock using a gold (metallic) inkpad.
2. Cut the snowflake patterned paper you just made to a rectangle and mat upon dark blue cardstock.
3. Glue upon a cream card base.
4. Stamp the sentiment upon dark blue cardstock using an embossing inkpad. Sprinkle some white embossing powder upon and heat using a heat tool. (tip: you can also use a white inkpad if you do not have a heat tool).
5. Cut a banner from the stamped cardstock and  mat using cream cardstock.
6. Glue the banner onto the cadbase using 3D foam tape.
7. finish the card with some gold colored rhinestones.

Yep...it's that simple :-)

I hope you like the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Wishing you and your family a lovely Christmas...

Hugs from Holland,

Yvonne

If Kisses were Snowflakes

Good Morning Friends.  This is Selma Stevenson today.  I have been so excited to be able to post this card.  Suzanne has 4 new Christmas stamp sets available, and this sentiment is one I requested!   I just love it.  

To create this card, I used a 6x6 white card base.  A slightly smaller Kraft Cardstock was used for the background.

Using the new Let It Snow Flourish Snowflakes stamp set, snowflakes were white embossed all over the Kraft Cardstock.  Aren't those Snowflakes beautiful!!!

Across the card front, a piece of tan design paper with brown polka dots was added. The edges of the card was sponged using brown ink.  A darker brown Dotted Swiss ribbon was attached over the edges of the design paper and a small bow added at the top.

The If Kisses were Snowflakes was stamped on a piece of Kraft Cardstock, using VersaMark then white embossed. To frame this sentiment, I used one of the Katie Label Accordion dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs.  It was die cut, and brown ink sponged around the edges and over the white embossing to help show up the stamped image.  A small black marker was used to add dots around the edge of the Label.  The Label was attached using dimensional tape.

As a finishing touch, pearls were added to the center of all the snowflakes and at each end of the label.

Be sure to go over and check out all the beautiful Christmas stamps in the Quietfire Design store.  I'm sure you will have a hard time deciding which ones you love the most!

A Snowflake Blizzard!

Hi there!  It's Suzanne popping in with a simple subdued holiday card.  I've use two of the new rubber stamp designs, If Kisses Were Snowflakes and Let it Snow Flourished Snowflakes.
Here is how I did it!




If Kisses Were Snowflakes

Supplies:
Quietfire If Kisses were Snowflakes, Let it Snow Flourished Snowflakes
Bazzill 28lb Vellum
American Crafts Black Cardstock
Tsukineko VersaMark Stamp Pad, Brilliance Graphite Black
Glue Dots

Instructions:

1. Form a tent-fold card base measuring 6.5 x 5 inches from black cardstock.
2. Cut a piece of vellum larger than the cardbase.  Stamp snowflakes randomly over the surface with VersaMagic.



Let it Snow Flourished Snowflakes

3. Trim vellum large enough to cover card base front and wrap at least an inch over the back. Score the vellum to match the fold on the card base and adhere it with Glue Dots so the stamped surface is facing down against the black card base.
4. Stamp snowflake sentiment on the front as shown.

I hope this inspires you to create your own version of this card!
Happy creating! (and stamping!)
Suzanne

If Kisses were Snowflakes Shaker Card

No snow yet - just rain!  But for those of you who get enough snow as is, you can restrain your blizzard within a shaker card with these new stamps.  I had so much fun with these stamps using one of my favorite techniques - resist embossing.  I first clear embossed the snowflakes from the Let It Snow Flourished Snowflakes stamp set and sponged in different shades of distress inks (Mermaid Lagoon, Chipped Sapphire, and Blueprint Sketch.)  I did the same with the  If Kisses Were Snowflakes stamp and die cut out the sentiment with an oval die.  I used a slightly larger oval die on the snowflake sheet to create a window for my shaker card.

Using acetate and foam tape, I made my shaker cards with some shaped glitter and white beads.  

Thank you so much for looking!
