Hello again!
I hope you’ve had a good week? Mine has flown by and with my monthly card classes on Thursday night and Saturday morning, I spent a fair bit of time crafting – how lucky am I? I shared a sneak peak of the cards for class on Facebook and Instagram on Friday. This time of year they are all Christmas cards.
So today I’m sharing a clean and simple card made with Seasonal Layers thinlits and Colorful Seasons Photopolymer stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
For class, we used an A6 top folding Highland Heather card base. I love making Christmas cards in non-traditional colours don’t you? I used two pieces of Whisper White layer cut @ 10cm x 14.4cm for the front and inside plus a scrap for the sentiment which was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink to match the Mini Striped ribbon. I used the three snowflake dies from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits for the snowflakes and glued them back in the negative space. Seeing the colour of the card base through the snowflakes is so pretty. Clear faceted gems added to the middle of the snowflakes finish off the card nicely imho!
I decided not to put a sentiment on the inside but stamped snowflakes with Highland Heather ink.
For the video, I decided to re-make the card in another non-traditional Christmas colour – Coastal Cabana – here they are together – don’t they look great?
I slightly changed the position of the snowlakes, used Coastal Cabana and some of the Polka Dot Tuille ribbon. This is white but you can add ink to match it with any project.
The snowflakes were stamped second generation to keep them light like a watermark.
Here’s a close up of the largest snowflake. You will see if you watch the video below that a little piece tore off when I took the snowflake out of the die but I glued it back in place so you’d never know.
I often forget to say in my video’s that I’m an Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator in the UK. I love being a demonstrator and sharing my passion for cardmaking. I’m truly blessed to have some wonderful friends who support my hobby- here are photo’s from each class this month.
It is so wonderful listening to my friends chatter away excitedly while they make their cards.
I’d love to know what you think of this project (good or bad) so feel free to leave a comment.
