Snowflake trio

Hello friends!!  I couldn't make up my mind what kind of cards I wanted to make today so I just grabbed lots of different goodies.  I like to think it paid off since I came up with three different designs!  And each card has one thing in common, the Slimline Snowflake Corner stencil.  

Let's talk cards.  Here is the first card created.


I know you are like, Kristina, I don't see that snowflake stencil!  Well, let's start at the beginning shall we?


I grabbed the Christmas Mica Distress Stain sprays and the Slimline Snowflake stencil.  I created the piece on the far right first.  Then I misted the stencil before cleaning with some water.  I put it down on a piece of white cardstock.  It turned into the middle piece.  I put it down several times all over the paper.  And then we have the piece on the left.  I first spritzed the cardstock with the mica sprays.  Once it was dry, I layed the stencil on top and sprayed again with mica sprays.

Back to cardmaking.  I used the Slimline Snowflake Coverplate die to cut out a piece of white cardstock.  I added liquid glue to adhere it on top of the mica stained piece and I cut off the excess.


I layered it onto a pink slimline layer and then I added it to a white slimline card base.  Now I dug into the rest of my Scrappy Tails stash to find some sentiments.  I combined pieces from the Cardinal Blessings and Fairy Sentiments set.  I stamped "Hope you have a" and "Christmas" from the Cardinal Blessings set in black ink onto pink cardstock.  I cut them down with scissors into strips. 

"Magical" was stamped with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink because I wanted to emboss it.  I sprinkled it with clear embossing powder and melted it with the heat tool.  Once it was completely cool I cut it out with the Fairy Sentiments dies.  I love how it cuts out all the swirly bits of the first letter in the word!  Then I just adhered them to the card panel.




Let's move on to my second card!  For this card I used the slimline piece where the snowflake stencil image was very defined (see panel on the far right above).


This panel was already pretty darn gorgeous so I wanted to limit the amount of things I added to it.  First I cut it down to a mini slimline size.  Next I pulled out some foil cardstocks in my stash that worked well with the panel.  Then I dug around in my Scrappy Tails stash.  I found this beautiful deer in the Winter Essentials die set along with the winter wishes words.

I simply cut them out and glued them to the stenciled panel and added it to a gray mini slimline card base.  And card number two is done!


Which bring us to the third and final card.


All I have left is the A2 sized card panel (middle panel from above).  It was another case of a lovely background piece I didn't want to cover up!  So, I cut it down a bit with a deckle edge die and added it to light teal card base.  Want to guess what I did next?  Yep, dug around in my Scrappy Tails stash.  I found a gem too!  The Hot Foil Christmas Sentiment dies and the Coordinating Sentiment dies.  

I used the Christmas Sentiment die with a piece of turquoise foil and hot foiled it onto a piece of navy cardstock.  Next I cut it out with the coordinating sentiment dies.  I added foam tape pieces to the back of the foil sentiment and adhered it to the card.  That's it.  Third card complete.


Thanks so much for visiting my corner of the crafty world!  

Toodles!

Sleigh Ride

Hello there friends!  I've got a gem of a slimline card using goodies from Scrappy Tails Crafts Candlelight Christmas release.  You can check all the new products out right HERE.


I started with an 8 1/2" x 3 1/2" panel of Bristol paper.  I created a ink blended night sky using Black Soot, Chipped Sapphire, Wilted Violet and Milled Lavender Distress inks.


I splattered the panel with water and dabbed it off.  Then I splattered it with Copic Opaque White ink mixed with water.


I set that aside to dry.  Next I cut some white hills for my scene out of Bristol.  I wanted to give them a little depth so I colored the edges with Copic markers.  I used BG000 and BG0000.


Now I stamped the sleigh and one of the small houses from the English Winter Village set.  I stamped them onto more Bristol with VersaFine Clair Morning Mist ink.  I felt the gray ink was a little less jarring than black. I used Zig Clean Color real brush markers to color the images.  Once they were all colored, I cut them out with the coordinating English Winter Village dies.


Back to those hills.  I felt they needed a bit more.  I found Crushed Ice effect paste in my stash.  It was the perfect addition!  I also embossed the sentiment from the same stamp set with silver embossing powder.


Now let's build a card!  I did go ahead and splatter the stamped images with white ink so they'd fit in with the back ground.  

I put foam tape behind the top part of the sleigh image.  The texture paste made it a bit too bumpy on the bottom to glue it flat to the hill.


I cut several small snowflakes from the Snowflake Spinner add on dies.  I glued them over the panel and added silver gems from the Festive Gems mix.


The final step was to glue the whole panel onto an 8 1/2" x 3 1/2" card base.

Thanks so much for visiting today!
