Thinking of You Sparkling Snowflakes

Today's card was created for...

The Paper Players Sketch Challenge #668.




For my "Thinking of You" card, I used the Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes, Beary Cute & Softly Said Stamp Sets, Stylish Shapes Dies and Tartan Foil Specialty DSP.

Basic White cardstock was used for my card base with a layer of Tartan Foil Specialty DSP.

The background strip of cardstock was stamped with snowflakes from the Sparkling Snowflakes Stamp Set, using Lost Lagoon ink and the others using Versamark ink and heat set with Silver Embossing Powder from the Metallics Embossing Powders.

The snowflakes were stamped with Versamark ink and heat embossed with Silver Embossing Powder.

A Stylish Shapes (Circle) Die was used to die cut around the snowflake.
Faceted Gems Trio were used as the embellishments.

The smaller snowflakes are from the Beary Cute Stamp Set, stamped using Lost Lagoon ink.

The sentiment is from Softly Said Stamp Set, stamped using Lost Lagoon ink.

Silver & White Sheer Ribbon was tied in a bow and adhered above the sentiment with Mini Glue Dots.

DSP was also added on the envelope flap.

Inside my card is a layer of Basic White cardstock with a 3/4" strip of DSP along the right and a single snowflake stamped in the lower corner with Lost Lagoon ink.

Christmas Pinecones Greetings

Another Christmas card to share that I created for the...

As You See It Theme Challenge #312.

 

I was inspired by the pinecones, holly berries and greenery.


For my "Season's Greetings" card, I used the Stampin' Up! Christmas Classics Bundle, Horse & Sleigh Stamp Set, Christmas Pinecones, Patchwork Pieces & Deckled Circles Dies along with Joyful Specialty DSP and Gold Foil Sheets.

For my card base I used Cherry Cobbler cardstock.
The next layer is beautiful DSP from the Joyful Specialty paper pack.

The greenery and pinecones were die cut from the Christmas Classics Dies and Christmas Pinecones Dies using Shaded Spruce, Garden Green, Cherry Cobbler, Pecan Pie and Early Espresso cardstock.

These die cuts were arranged on a circle that was die cut from the Deckled Circles Dies and Basic White cardstock.  Only one of the larger pinecones was adhered with a dimensional.

Holly berries were die cut from Cherry Cobbler cardstock and adhered among the greenery.

The shapes on the left were created using the Patchwork Pieces Die along with Cherry Cobbler cardstock and Gold Foil Sheets.

Gold Stain Edged Ribbon wraps around the card, covering the seam.

The sentiment is from the Christmas Classics Stamp Set, stamped using Cherry Cobbler ink and adhered with dimensionals.

To cut around the sentiment, the stamp was cleaned and pulled off the stamp block and placed onto the sentiment, matching the letters.  Holding down the photopolymer stamp, I lightly traced around the stamp with a pencil.  I cut along the lines and erased any remaining pencil marks.

Embellishments are the Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots

DSP was also added on the envelope flap.

Inside my card is Basic White cardstock with a couple die cuts adhered in the left corner.

The sentiment is from the Horse & Sleigh Stamp Set, stamped using Cherry Cobbler ink.
