When stunning papers, metallic accents, and classic rubber stamps come together to create a stunning winter scene that is cool and sure to delight.

Tool Tip Tuesday:  Get the best Embossed images when you prep the surface of the paper!  Simply using the Embossing Buddy and rub it across the surface will fill any nooks and crannies in and eliminate the oils on the surface of the paper.  This will allow the Embossing Powder to adhere to the Versa Mark inked image and nothing else.  An easy step that will allow for a better Heat Embossed image!

Take the 5-1/4"x4" piece of the All is Calm Specialty Designer Series Paper and rub the surface using the Embossing Buddy.  Stamp the image of the tall Pine tree from the Lovely As A Tree rubber stamp set and Versa Mark ink on the front of this snowy paper.  Cover the image with Silver Embossing Powder, shaking off the excess.  Heat set using the Heat Tool for a hand-stamped, embossed silvery tree.

Emboss the top with the Delicate Details and Big Shot for a snow filled sky.  Add dashes of luxury with these 'snow puffs' of adhesive backed Pearl basic jewels.

This scene pulls together for a WOW of grace and beauty.  I remember going to our prom and there was a deer that came to the window of where we were eating.  It's a majestic animal.. and this scene is one to take my breath away..

May the wonder of Winter and the Holiday Season give you a moment of awe.  You may see deer or not in your neck of the woods... but the beauty of nature and the season can inspire a wow moment or two.  Enjoy card making (and Join Me) and create with a dash of sparkle and luxury.

Snowmen in a Paint Can

So, when a challenge is thrown down - I'm often one to pick it up.... here is my nod to to the LNS Challenge of Snowmen this week....

my 3D Snowmen in a Paint Can!

 

Using Circle Punches in 1", 1-1/4" & 1-3/8" sizes I punched 4 of each out of Whisper White card stock.  (This creates the larger Snowman.)  The smaller Snowman is the 3/4", 1" & 1-1/4" Circle Punches from the Idea Book - again cutting 4 of each size out in Whisper White card stock. 

 

 Folding each circle in 1/2 I then adhered them together w/ a Hot Glue Gun (careful, it's hot, and yes, I did burn my fingers on this project - lol).  Using a scrap of cardstock in a 1/4" strip I built all four circles around this strip so I could build UP each smaller circle.  This holds all three together!

 

With another circle I then folded a cardstock in 1/2 and then cut a notch out so that I could have it hold onto the bottom/largest 'Snow ball' so it could stand up. 

Adhering the two build snow men and their bases to a circle of Window Sheets (Idea Book) I now had my snowman base.  This Paint Can is a stunning royal blue - I didn't want to take away from it. 

 

Cutting a Window Sheet so that I could create falling snow I used our Basic Jewels Pearls in the three sizes.  Creating random placement I then flipped it over and had the matching size on the back - they now look like falling 3D Snowballs!!!!  (How cute is that?!?!)

 

Placing it between the Snow Man and Snow Child (larger and smaller) it has this cool 3D look, falling Snow and a cool Snow Globe feel without any mess!

 

Here is a look at the Darling Duo -

who wouldn't want to recieve these little guys?!?!

 

 My kids are enamoured with this and my baby girl can't get enough of walking around w/ them.  With a High of 51* here in Southern California... we don't see snow around our neck of the woods. 

This is a cool way to capture that feel with none of the mess!

 

What would YOU do with a Snowman or two?!?!  Who would you give this to?

Thank you for coming by, taking a look and feel free to share and leave a comment, it's always appreciated!

Snowman Snowglobe

If 'A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush' what is a bird in a snowman?!?! 

A Snowman Snowglobe!!

This fun shaker card was inspired by the LNSChallenge of Snowmen this week.

 

HERE Is a Whimsical Shaker Card that has a cute hidden bird!  The Four Seasons Hostess Stamp Set from the Idea Book is a great and elegant stamp set that can also be a little fun and whimsical! 

Using Bashful Blue cardstock for the base, the Northern Flurry Folder and Big Shot creates this snowflake base...

Using the Stampin' Write Markers in Bashful Blue, Real Red and Chocolate Chip (Suggested by the Color Coach) I 'painted' the stamp with Bashful Blue on the outer circle of snowflakes and the inner falling snow and his chipper little hat!  The great thing about our Stampin' Write Markers is this technique - I then colored in the circle and branch in Chocoalte Chip, the Red lil bird... YEAH!

Using the 2-1/2" Circle Punch and the inner 1" Circle Punch I punched out the large stamp and then the inner circle and the cardstock.  Using the Window Sheets I adhered w/ SNAIL adhesive the first circle to the card stock base.

 

Adhered the Shaker Frames from the Idea Book in a circle slightly larger than the 1" holes.  Leaving the top ON I then filled in some Dazzling Details Glitter.  THEN Removing the top of the Shaker Frame I adhered the second Circle Window Sheet. 

 

Applying the SNAIL adhesive around the back of the Large Circle's inner circle I then adhesived it to the Window Sheets.  Using the 1-3/8" Circle and the 1" Circle's I punched out the top parts of the  Snowman.  Stamping the center circle w/ the solo snowflake from the stamp set it matches the bottom.  DOUBLE UP on the Stampin' Dimensionals as the Shaker Frame is Higher UP than the standard Stampin' Dimensional Adhesive - so by layering one on another, it is now the right height!

SNAIL down the little bird circle in the inside of the card for a fun peek a boo and interest when the card opens up!

 

The Dazzling Diamonds Glitter will move as the card is opened and moved, etc... I LOVE this fun feature!

Using the Permanant Maker to color in the small and larger adhesive backed Rhinestones for the coal buttons and mouth.... the Googlies from the Holiday Mini adds a fun eye feature that will move as the inner circle moves!  Cutting the corner of the Tangerine Tango card stock for the nose... easy peasy and FUN!

 

Add some bling in the center of the embossed Snowflakes and some other 'floating' bling snowflakes.  I added the strips of Rhinestones to the bottom (fallen snow - lol) and some larger in the corner for a fun element. 

 

GO Crazy - add an unexpected element to your card - and have FUN, go Whimsical with your card, it's sure to bring a smile to someone's face!

 

My Kids may have broken many of my Snowglobes... but this one is fun and not breakable...

(well, if you keep it away from my 20 mo. old - she tried to rip it open... geesh!).

There is a Snowflake in my Window!

Living the Southern California Life doesn't give me the beauty of looking out my window and seeing a White Winterland.. where Snowflakes cascade down my window... So I wanted to create a White Winter Wonderland... and maybe a snowflake or a few in my window...

Starting with the Snowflakes from the DVD's I used to create Tree Earrings (See HERE for that Link) I wanted to Re-Purpose the 'scrap' snowflakes and their iridescent wonder! 

 

Cutting a Whisper White Card Stock in 1/2 at the 4-1/4" mark I then folded them in 1/2 - each of the two.  Layering them so they became a 3 flap card I used SNAIL Adhesive to seal them. 

 

Using the Labels Collection Framelits from the Idea Book I cut out the second largest frame in the set on the front of one of the flaps.  With the Snow Flurries Bigz die I had the cut Large Snowflake in the Iridescent DVD... I cut the smallest snowflake and the largest out of the Silver Glimmer Paper.  Here with Mini Glue Dots I adhered them back to back in the frame!  You can barely tell that it's backed up to another snowflake.  The DVD image is fragile - the extra support with the glue dot and other snowflake will help it to stay where it needs to be.

The smallest Silver Glimmer snowflake lies right behind the snowflakes and is well hidden.  I wanted a dash more winter wonderland so I added 1/2" strips of Glimmer Paper that used the Finishing Touches Edgelits.  A little like a snowflake, in my opinion....

 

 

I wanted to have the inside have tons of space to write a note... I'm planning to send this off to my Uncle and Aunt in Indiana and wanted to leave room to write..

With the Dazzling Details sparkle across the inside bottom, there are surprises at every corner!

As you close it up - it's pretty from each angle... I think this will show them some 'extra' love...

From the Outside... this snowflake is just lovely..

SURPRISE!!!  When you open it you see these Silver Glimmer Snow Flakes and edges..

Dazzling Details Glitter Adhesive added bling and 'fallen snow' to the bottom of all three flaps inside the card... another sweet surprise!

 

Plenty Room to Write... with our large family, there is a ton to write about!!

 

Using the Paper effectively, this lovely Tri-Fold card will go into a standard envelope!  I love that!
