Wonderful Snowflakes

TGIF, everybody! We have made it to the weekend, and I don’t know about you but I’m ready. After surviving the first week of school schedule change, downtime is required and stat!

And speaking of downtime, I got to put an idea into action in the studio this evening as I put this card together. I put the latest SU! sketch into action and had fun adding a few twists to meet our them this week. We’re letting the new Dreamy Snowflakes bundle take center stage today.

We get started with a base of Cloud Cover cardstock. To capture the twinkle of freshly falling snow, I decided to have our focal panel backdrop be a sheet of blue shimmer vellum. I picked a coordinating piece of the Velvet Meadow patterned paper to create the corner circle elements. Before cutting them out, the full panel is run through the Dreamy Snowflakes embossing folder to give us our background flakes in each corner. The three snowflakes in the center are created with a combination of shimmer vellum and white velvet specialty paper using the Dreamy Snowflakes dies. After glueing the vellum and velvet together, they’re adhered to our card front with dimensionals. The sentiment from the Season of Celebration ephemera pack is stacked on some gold and white baker’s twine and then adhered over the snowflakes with dimensionals. A few adhesive snowflakes finish things off with the perfect amount of twinkle.

We will finish off this week’s trek in the woods tomorrow. I hope you’ll drop by!

Christmas Joy

Welcome back, everybody! As I’m sure you could tell, yesterday didn’t exactly go as planned. By the time I had the free time to craft, my giddy up had gone and went! Alas, that’s the way it goes sometimes.

But I got some inspiration and a little time today and pulled out the new Neutral Noel suite and a few other new releases to pull this one together as we continue our outdoor frollicks.

So for this one, we get started with a base of Peaceful Pine cardstock. The backdrop is a sheet of the red plaid paper from the Creative Celebrations paper pack and then we finish it off with strips of the gorgeous gold trefoil from the Neutral Noel pack. We wrap the whole caboodle with some festive tricolor twine. Our focal panel starts with a large white oval panel that’s cut with the Noel Tidings dies and then machine embossed with the new Dreamy Snowflakes embossing folder, we affix to that two evergreen wreaths also cut with the Noel Tidings dies. To that we add a sprig of evergreen and poinsettias from the Season of Celebration ephemera pack and top it all off with our sentiment banner, also from the ephemera pack. We finish everything off with a pop of sparkle with a scattering of red sequins.

Tomorrow we’re going to trek along with Mr. Frost. I hope you’ll drop by!

Dreamy Warm Wishes

Welcome back for another sneak peek at all the new goodies in my crafty stash and a whole batch of products that will release in the September holiday catalog! I loved yesterday’s layout so much that I decided to do a little variation and throw in a few more glimpses of what’s to come. Just look at those dreamy snowflakes! The new bundle is just a gorgeous as it looks here!

So we get started with a base of Pool Party cardstock and let just a tiny bit peek around the edges of our background panel of Shimmering Stripes glittery paper. The panel is wrapped with some iridescent striped ribbon for a little touch of see-through sparkle. We’re using the Scalloped Christmas Cheer dies again to create our focal panel out of some Pool Party shimmer paper and then add some extra texture by running it through the new Dreamy Snowflakes embossing folder. And we’re using quite a few layers of dimensionals to be sure the panel stands nice and proud. Our focal section consists of three elements. In the background we have our delicate snowflake cut from blue and white shimmer vellum using the new Dreamy Snowflakes dies. Our focal image is the cute snowman from the Season of Celebration ephemera, along with the warm wishes sentiment. Dimensionals give us some depth of scene here. And we finish things off with the twinkle of clear snowflakes on our focal panel and a few iridescent sequins in opposing corners to draw the eye across our card.

This layout is super simple and very eye-catching. Definitely one to have in the stash when you want to put together a cute card in a hurry! Tomorrow I’m setting aside some time to complete the new gold foiling class and can’t wait to show you some of the results!
