BAUBLES AND SNOWFLAKES

November 29, 2018

Today’s card is a combination of baubles and snowflakes! What do you do with leftover pieces? Well, you create a new card of course!

I had been playing around with the Thinlits dies from the Beautiful Baubles bundle and the Snowfall Thinlits dies and left a few sitting on my table. So…. I combined them for this card. It turned out to be a little “busier” than my usual style but it’s cute!

Note: The Snowfall Thinlits Dies are only available today and until 11:20PM tomorrow, so make sure that you visit my Online Store to get them before they’re gone for good!

THREE LOVELY TREES

The Snowflake Showcase products are soon going away on Friday, November 30, 2018! So I took this opportunity to create just one more card to show off these three lovely trees with the Snow is Glistening photopolymer stamp set!

Don’t they look great on the background of Soft Sea Foam? I stamped the tree 3 times, twice with Versamark and once with the Soft Sea Foam ink and then did a little heat embossing. White emboss powder for the Soft Sea Foam trees and Clear emboss powder for the soft sea foam tree. So lovely!

I arranged those trees according to The Paper Players sketch

and added some texture to the card front with the Softly Falling embossing folder.

If you haven’t yet, make sure to get your favourites from the Snowflake Showcase items.

Welcome to Monday and a dashing deer playing games! I’m calling this pretty box Reindeer games because what’s going into the box is a Christmas surprise!

I love the way this guy turned out in all of his copper splendour! Notice the box itself? I used the beautiful Swirls & Curls Textured Impressions Embossing folder to give it some lustrous depth! NOTE: In order to get the deep impression, I used Tab 1 of the Big Shot platform.

POINSETTIA IN VELLUM

Christmas, Techniques

Comments

Did you know that you can use Thinlits and Framelits dies to stamp an image? That’s exactly what I did to create this poinsettia in vellum.

Love it! So, I used a pair of tweezers to hold the thinlit from the Peaceful Poinsettia bundle and carefully pressed it into the Versamark pad. Then, holding it with the tweezers placed it gently onto the piece of vellum cardstock and pressed it down. Then it was just a matter of cutting it out. It’s a great technique and I encourage you to give it a try!

Since I had the embossing tools out, why not emboss the greeting as well!

Here’s the list of products used.

Peaceful Poinsettia Clear-Mount Bundle [149962] $66.50	Peaceful Poinsettia Wood-Mount Bundle [149964] $75.50	Mint Macaron 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [138337] $11.50	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Card Stock [100730] $13.25

Do you live far away from family and friends? Will you be travelling to spend Christmas with them this year?

This little guy is staying home but sending wishes to his far away family!

Isn’t he a cutie? I love the images in the Postcard Pals stamp set and did show you another Christmas card I made here. He was coloured with Stampin’ Blends and then I decided to use the Festive Farmhouse plaid to act as a frame for his cuteness.

JOY TO YOUR WORLD

Hi from Cynthia’s Creative Corner where the snowflakes are falling both outside and inside!

I was organizing my collection of dies and pulled out the Swirly Snowflakes Thinlits dies for today’s joy to your world card.

I decided to back those beautiful snowflakes with Silver Foil (which is rather difficult to photograph) and cut 2 inches off of the edge of the card to attach the silver foil piece. Then the string of snowflakes was attached using our tough and durable Liquid Multipurpose glue!

This week’s Freshly Made Sketches layout was the starting point which is why I decided to add the greeting using a piece of Vellum cardstock.

Here’s the sketch layout.

TIP: Use a small piece of a stamping sponge to spread the liquid multipurpose on the back of the vellum. This makes the glue virtually invisible so it won’t show through the vellum.

Check out the list of products below.

I enjoy attending Cynthia’s card and scrapbook classes. Her studio is comfortable and bright. I really like the colour combinations she uses. She is very organized and does the prep work allowing you to concentrate on the techniques. She is very flexible, even if you want to make some changes to make the project “your own”. I highly recommend Cynthia as a demonstrator!

~~~Clara~~~

I really enjoy Cynthia’s creative skills and look forward to going to her classes and workshops. Cynthia always has fun and inspirational project ideas. She is always ready to lend a hand and help you where needed, if she doesn’t have an answer for you, she will do her best to find one ASAP. I would go to any one of her classes or workshops anytime for years to come.

She puts a lot of thought and effort into planning her classes. I am very fortunate to have met Cynthia, and am looking forward to learning from her for many years to come. Thanks Cynthia....you are the best!!
