Whimsy & Wonder DSP

Leave a reply

I really love the Whimsy & Wonder DSP so I decided to do more cards using it – mostly patterns I haven’t used yet. Starting with this beautiful Blushing Bride one.

The Whimsy & Wonder DSP was cut to 5 by 3 3/4 inches and matted with silver foil. The silver foil really set off the silver in the DSP nicely although if you’re short of foil, white would work. This left a nice wide border showing the Blushing Bride card base.

The sentiment came from the Stars are Shining stamp set and is heat embossed using silver embossing powder. The piece of Blushing Bride was then die cut using the Stitched Rectangle dies and popped up with dimensionals.

I’ll be making this card along with 2 others on my Facebook Live on Sunday at 11am. Come and join me. Place an order of $25 and receive a free card kit to make the cards. Share my live and be put in the weekly raffle.

Snowflake Wishes

Leave a reply

Here’s my third Christmas card of the week, still using Snowflake Wishes. On this card, I pushed myself out of my comfort zone and got our the Soft Pastels assortment. Let me know what you think.

I grabbed all of the snowflake dies and stamped them on a piece of Whisper White using Versamark. Next I sprinkled over clear embossing powder and heated until shiny. 

Then I used the Bermuda Bay and Night of Navy pastels and laid down some color onto the snowflakes, using a blending brush between colors. The Night of Navy seems to have mostly overpowered the Bermuda Bay. The one I made on my Live this morning was the other way around. Clearly I need more practice on these Pastels. 

Next, I trimmed the layer – the edge picks up more color and I wanted it to have a most consistent look. It was then matted it in Night of Navy and adhered to a Whisper White card base. One of the Wondrous Snowflakes was added to the front of the card where it really twinkles. Finally the sentiment, from Snowflake Wishes, was stamped in Night of Navy. This was die cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies and popped up with dimensionals.

I made this card along with two others using the Snowflake Wishes bundle on my Facebook Live this morning at 11am EST. Watch the replay on either Facebook or YouTube.

Snowflake Wishes bundle

Leave a reply

This week, I’m back to Christmas cards and I’m using Snowflake Wishes bundle which includes the So Many Snowflakes dies. Although they go together and were a bundle, sadly the 10% discount for buying them together has gone.

Using one of the So Many Snowflake dies, I cut the middle out of a rectangle piece of silver foil. After a little poking out the tiny pieces, I was left with this beautiful stitched frame. I love silver and Misty Moonlight together so the choice of card base was easy. I held the silver frame over the card base for positioning purposes and then stamped the sentiment in versamark. Next was the sprinkling of silver embossing powder and heating until it melted. Watching the powder turn from mat to raised and shiny is so joyous.

Finally the frame was adhered to the card base along with a few basic rhinestones. 

I’ll be making this card along with 2 using the Snowflake Wishes bundle others on my Facebook Live on Sunday at 11am EST. Come and join me.

Snowflake Wishes bundle

This week, I’m back to Christmas cards and I’m using Snowflake Wishes bundle which includes the So Many Snowflakes dies. Although they go together and were a bundle, sadly the 10% discount for buying them together has gone. I’m also using the Rainbow Glimmer paper on today’s card too.

Using one of the So Many Snowflake dies, I cut out a number from the Rainbow Glimmer paper. Whilst doing that I cut out a number using different dies which may feature later in the week. The snowflakes were added to the right hand side of the whisper white layer. The sentiment was then stamped in Blackberry Bliss which is one of the colors in the glimmer paper. After that the layer was added to a Blackberry Bliss card base. 

I’ll be making this card along with 2 others on my Facebook Live on Sunday at 11am EST. Come and join me.
