Stampin’ Up! Dandelion Wishes Winter Wedding Card

Good Morning! Today I have snowflake Wedding card made with the beautiful sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Dandelion Wishes stamp set and the pretty Snowflake Splendor designer series paper! You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a panel of the Snowflake Splendor designer series paper to a Whisper White mat. I cut out snowflakes with the So many Snowflakes dies from Silver Foil and Whisper White and adhered them to the panel.

I cut the large fancy label from a Whisper White panel with the Stitched So Sweetly dies and embossed it with the retiring Winter Snow embossing folder. I stamped the beautiful sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Dandelion Wishes cling stamp set in Versamark ink on a Seaside Spray panel and sprinkled it with Silver embossing powder. I heat set the powder until shiny and after it cooled, I cut it with the next largest Stitched So Sweetly die. I adhered the labels together with liquid glue and to the panel with dimensionals.

I adhered the panel to the front of a Seaside Spray card front with dimensionals and adhered a Seaside Spray metallic bow under the label with a glue dot. I finished the card front with rhinestone gems.

I adhered another silver foil die cut snowflake to a Whisper White panel and trimmed the bottom with a strip of the Snowflake Splendor DSP before adhering it to the inside of the card.

I think the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Dandelion Wishes stamp set is the most beautiful ever for Wedding cards. And while snowflakes are not traditional for weddings, the Snowflake Splendor DSP is beautiful and wonderful for a Winter Wedding! It’s currently on sale, along with the Winter Snow embossing folder, and it’s perfect for making cards for winter celebrations and sending winter greetings long after Christmas.

Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Wishes Thank You Card Video Tutorial

Good Morning! Today I’m sharing a Winter Thank You card made with the Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Wishes bundle. This is the card I made during my Facebook Live video tutorial yesterday afternoon and I also used the Winter Snow 3D embossing folder and the Snowflake Splendor designer series paper to make sure I had enough snowflakes. Today’s card was inspired by a set of cards I saw on Pinterest made by Australian Demonstrator Gail Ellis. You can find the supplies I used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Here is the Facebook Live video showing how I made the card:

I posted a copy of the video in my YouTube channel here so you can view it there if you prefer. Later this week I hope to get a quickie version posted to my channel too.

I embossed a Whisper White panel with the Winter Snow embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Whisper White note card. I adhered the Snowflake Splendor DSP panels to the Balmy Blue mats and adhered it to the card front with liquid glue. I could not believe that when I was Live, I put my liquid glue on the wrong side of the designer series paper!! So I had to change things up a bit and stamped in Pacific Point instead of Balmy Blue. The color is a little more intense, but everything still goes together beautifully!

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Wishes photopolymer stamp set to a Whisper White panel in Pacific Point ink and cut it out with the Tasteful Labels die. I adhered some Snowflake Splendor ribbon to the back and adhered it to the card front with dimensionals.

I cut two small snowflakes and a medium snowflake from Balmy Blue glimmer paper with the So Many Snowflakes dies from the Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Wishes bundle and adhered them to the card front. I finished the card with a blue gem.

I stamped the snowflakes from the Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Wishes photopolymer stamp set in Pacific Point ink after stamping off in the corners of the inside of the card. I also stamped the outside of the envelope with Pacific Point snowflakes to match.

The Whisper White note cards and envelopes are perfect for a quick little thank you note – they are nice and thick, and don’t need an inside panel. Layered panel card designs like this one are a good use for those little scraps of pretty DSP that you can’t bear to throw out. And sending a quick thank you after Christmas is a nice way to reach out and let the joy of the season linger a little longer.

Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful Thinking of You

Good Morning! Today I have another card made with the pretty Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful photopolymer stamp set. Today’s card is a Thinking Of You card and is set in a night scene with Snowflake Splendor designer series paper and accented with white embossing. You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Stamp the tree from the Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Gray Granite ink on a panel of Snowflake Splendor designer series paper. This is one of the sheets in the pack that has few snowflakes, but it does have pretty watercolor shading in Misty Moonlight and Balmy Blue, so I thought it would make a nice nighttime background. Mask off the birds and stamp the birdhouse in Gray Granite.

Stamp the snowflakes from the Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Versamark ink across the tree top, sprinkle it with white embossing powder and heat set. Stamp the ground in Versamark ink and heat emboss it in white as well. Adhere the panel to a Whisper White mat and wrap a length of Snowflake Splendor ribbon around the panel and secure it in the back. Adhere the panel to the front of a Misty Moonlight card base with dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink on a Whisper White panel. Stamp the snowflakes on the label after stamping off. Cut it out with the die from the Tasteful Labels Dies and adhere it to the card front with dimensionals. Finish the card front with Blue Adhesive-Backed gems.

Mask off the birds and stamp the birdhouse in Gray Granite ink on a Whisper White panel. Stamp more snowflakes in the corner after stamping off. Trim the bottom with a strip of Snowflake Splendor DSP and adhere the panel to the inside of the card.

The tree in the Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful stamp set is really pretty with it’s gentle curves. And the stamp set comes with different images that you can stamp the tree tops with, so it’s great for making trees for any season. And the sentiments are great too.

Stampin’ Up! Snowman Season Christmas Card

Good Morning! Today I have another Christmas card with a cheery snowman from the Stampin’ Up! Snowman Season photopolymer stamp set. This set is a returning favorite and this little snowman is my favorite – so happy for the snow! You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

The layout for my card was inspired by the SSC238 Sketch from Sunday Stamps:

I embossed a panel of Balmy Blue card stock with the Winter Snow embossing folder and adhered a matted panel of Snowflake Splendor designer series paper across it. I adhered the panel to the front of a Pacific Point card base.

I stamped the cheery snowman from the Stampin’ Up! Snowman Season stamp set in Night of Navy ink on a Whisper White panel. I colored the little scene with Stampin’ Blends – Pumpkin Pie for the carrot, Purple Posy and Balmy Blue for the scarf and hat, Just Jade for the tree and Bronze for the rocks. I adhered the panel to a Pacific Point mat and popped it on the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Snowman Season stamp set in Pacific Point ink on a strip of Whisper White and cut it out with the die from the Ornate Layers Dies using the two step die cutting method. I adhered it to a Pacific Point mat and adhered it to the card front with liquid glue and dimensionals. I added adhesive iridescent snowflakes to the card front.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Snowman Season stamp set in Pacific Point ink on a Whisper White panel and stamped the snowflake cluster in Balmy Blue ink. I adhered a strip of Snowflake Splendor DSP to the bottom of the panel and adhered the panel to the inside of the card. I also adhered some adhesive backed snowflakes to the inside.

I’m so happy to use the beautiful Snowflake Splendor DSP with this little snowman. Snowman Christmas cards are so whimsical and loved, even in places that don’t get snow at Christmas! And snowman stamps can also be used for winter cards, so they are pretty versatile.

Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Wishes Shaker Card Video Tutorial

Good Morning! Today I’m sharing a shaker card that I made during my Facebook Live video tutorial yesterday afternoon using the new Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Wishes bundle. This bundle is the most versatile snowflake set and the best yet, consisting of the Snowflake Wishes photopolymer stamp set and So Many Snowflakes Dies. It has so many different snowflake stamps and beautiful dies that can be combined to make many different style snowflake cards. And it has a die for a snowflake frame that I turned into my shaker card. The Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Wishes bundle will be available when the new Aug-Dec Mini Catalog premieres on Aug 4. You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Here is the Facebook Live video showing how I made the card:

I also posted the video to my YouTube Channel and you can view it here if you prefer.

I started by cutting out the frame using the snowflake window die cut from the So Many Snowflakes Dies (available Aug 4) and a Thick Whisper White panel. I embossed the the die cut panel with the Winter Snow embossing folder (available Aug 4). I adhered the window sheet to cover the opening with Tear and Tape. I applied Adhesive Foam strips around the opening making sure the ends were tight so that no sequins would leak through. I applied additional foam strips around the outside of the frame so that it would not bend.

I adhered a panel of the Snowflake Splendor designer series paper to the front of a Pacific Point card base. I die cut six of the small snowflakes from the Christmas Layers Dies from Balmy Blue Glimmer paper (available Aug 4) and placed 5 of them in the center of the DSP panel. I added some snowflake sequins (available Aug 4) and some Whale of a Time sequins (making sure to remove all pink shells) to the center with the die cut snowflakes. I peeled the covering off the adhesive foam strips and adhered the panel to the card front, pressing to make sure the foam strips next to the window were secure.

I stamped the Christmas Cheer sentiment from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set in Pacific Point ink on a small scrap of Thick Whisper White card stock and cut it out with a stitched die from the Ornate Frames dies. I folded a short length of Iridescent Ribbon (available Aug 4) and adhered it to the card front with glue dots. I adhered the last Balmy Blue small snowflake die cut to the label with multipurpose liquid glue and adhered it to the card over the ribbon with more glue dots. I cut the small intricate snowflake from the So Many Snowflakes dies from Balmy Blue glimmer paper and the medium intricate snowflake from Pacific Point card stock. I adhered these together with multipurpose liquid glue and adhered the snowflake to the card front with glue dots.

Inside the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Wishes stamp set (available Aug 4) in Pacific Point ink on a Whisper White panel. I stamped the snowflake cluster in stamped off Pacific Point ink and trimmed the bottom of the panel with a strip of Snowflake Splendor DSP before adhering it to the inside of the card.

This was the first time I made a shaker card and it was easier than I thought and they are so fun!! The pretty snowflake window die is perfect, and using the pretty Snowflake Splendor DSP (available Aug 4) makes it so easy! This bundle is a definite must have from the new Aug-Dec Mini Catalog, available on Aug 4.

Stampin’ Up! Perfectly Plaid for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning! Welcome to another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I am continuing with the Christmas in July theme for today’s card pairing a sneak peek of the new Snowflake Splendor designer series paper from the new Aug-Dec 2020 Mini Catalog with a returning favorite, the Stampin’ Up! Perfectly Plaid Christmas tree and Pine Tree Punch from the current Annual Catalog.

We have a sketch challenge this week, and here is the sketch we are using:

I embossed a strip of Balmy Blue card stock with the new Winter Snow embossing folder (available Aug 4) and adhered it to the bottom of a panel of the beautiful Snowflake Splendor designer series paper (available Aug 4). I adhered the layered panel to a Thick Whisper White panel and wrapped it with a length of Whisper White crinkle ribbon and made a bow. I adhered the panel to the front of a Balmy Blue card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the tree from the Stampin’ Up! Perfectly Plaid photopolymer stamp set three times on a panel of Thick Whisper White card stock and punched them out with the Pine Tree Punch. I adhered them to the front of the card with dimensionals.

I added sparkle to the trees by adding the iridescent adhesive backed snowflakes to the trees and added Blue Adhesive backed gems add sparkle to the background. Both of these will be available on Aug 4.

I stamped another tree from the Stampin’ Up! Perfectly Plaid stamp set in Highland Heather ink to the bottom of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set in the middle of the panel in Highland Heather ink and added a strip of the Snowflake Splendor DSP to the bottom. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

Non-Traditional colored Christmas cards aren’t for everyone, but they can be fun and whimsical – another way to spread happiness and joy during the Christmas season!
