Simple but Sweet Holiday Card using Snow Swirled

I wanted to give ya something else to look out as I continue posting pages from the beautiful BELIEVE Chipboard album. So here is a very fun holiday card! Enjoy :D

 

Snow Swirled 

I love this stamp set! It's so versatile and I use it to make quick but fun and cute holiday cards! 

To make this card:

1. Create your standard card using Brushed Silver cardstock.
2. Then cut a pice of 3-1/4 x 4-1/4 piece of Shimmery White paper.
3. Then mat that on Bashful Blue cardstock increased dimensions by 1/8".
4. Using Basic Gray, stamp Snow Swirled tree on the Shimmery White cardstock.
5. Then adhere different sized Basic Rhinestone Jewels to the tree.
6. I then scalloped a piece of scrap paper to fit across the width of the center frame, and then wrapped the Silver Tinsel Trim (from the Holiday Mini) across the front (adhere to back).
7. Then adhered the center frame to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals.

I will now continue posting the final pages of the BELIEVE Chipboard album (next post, in a few days).

Happy Monday!

Snow Swirled Snowflakes

Bashful Blue and Chocolate Chip reminds me of Pottery Barn for some reason (LOL). So I kept this card clean and crisp but I really like the way it came out.

This is another card we'll be making at my Holiday Card Making class (Nov. 6th) and will be part of the Class Kit as well if you cannot make the class (or the rescheduled date).

The following Stampin' Up! product was used:

• Bashful Blue, Chocolate Chip, and Whisper White cardstock
• Blue Circle Rhinestone Brads, Ice Collection
• Filigree Brads
• Bashful Blue and Chocolate Chip Stampin' Write Markers
• Ticket Corner Punch
• Stampin' Dimensionals
• SNAIL Adhesive

Instructions

It was quite easy to make. Simply color in the medium sized snowflake from the Snow Swirled stampset first with Bashful Blue. Then use the Chocolate Chip marker on the tips and desired parts of the snowflake. Then stamp on the Whisper White paper. Do this twice.

Then for the center snowflake, stamp on scrap paper and punch with the Circle Scallop Punch. Use Piercing tool to pierce all snowflakes. Since the center snowflake is the focal point, this has the larger Filigree Brad and the blue rhinestone. The other two snowflakes on the card have smaller Filigree Brads and the silver brads that come with the Filigree Brads container.

Add the focal point snowflake, to the 2x2 inch square piece of Bashful Blue paper (where 2 sides have been punched) using SNAIL adhesive. Then this focal point is finally adhered to card front using Stampin' Dimensionals (where the rest of the card is assembled using SNAIL adhesive).

Enjoy!

Snow Swirled - Dressed Up Tree and Icycles

This card is a stepped-up version of one my upline created and demonstrated to me. I just loved it and couldn't resist adding some glitter, pearls, and ribbon to the free. A very fancy card that I gave my mom this year.

Here is a close-up look at the tree:



Here is a close-up look at the icycle trim:

Stampin' Up! Product Used:

• Snow Swirled Stamp Set
• Old Olive, Baja Breeze Class inks
• Whisper White Craft ink
• Dazzling Diamonds
• Silver Cord
• Pearls from the Pretties Kit
• Old Olive, Baja Breeze, Whisper White cardstock
• Stampin' Dimensionals
• Crystal Effects
• Two-way Glue Pen
• Mini Glue Dots

NOTE: I also created a version using Basic Gray ink and cardstock instead of Old Olive and it looked just as good!

Non-Stampin' Up! Product Used:

• White sheer/satin trimmed ribbon
• Wax paper

Instructions:

Creating the Icycle Trim

1. Cut a piece of wax paper.
2. Using Crystal Effects, draw a line of crystal effects on the wax paper (at least 4-1/4).
3. Then using the tip of the crystal effects bottle, "pull" some of the crystal effects down to create the icycle look.
4. Then cover with Dazzling Diamonds glitter.
5. This takes some time to dry!!! I waited over night before adhering to card front (top).
   

Creating the tree panel

1. Stamp the Snow Swirled Tree on Whisper White cardstock.
2. Add glitter where desired using two-way glue pen and Dazzling Diamonds.
3. Add pearls from the Pretties Kit and adhere using Mini Glue Dots to desired locations on the tree. I used 2 different sizes.
4. Create a bow from ribbon and adhere to top of tree using Mini Glue Dots.
5. Twirl the ribbon ends and adhere the bottom with a Mini Glue Dot.
6. Adhere this panel to card front using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Creating the card front

1. Stamp Snow Swirled Snowflakes in Baja Breeze.
2. Clean the stamp.
3. Now re-stamp over the existing snowflakes with Whisper White Craft Ink. Allow a few minutes to dry.
4. Using the smaller strips, adhere the Baja Breeze horizontal strip onto the Old Olive horizontal strip.
5. Wrap silver cord around the strips 3 times.
6. Adhere strip to card front with SNAIL Adhesive.

When the icycle trim is dried, using SNAIL adhesive along the top, then place the trim on top of it. Or use a few drops of Crystal Effects across the top and then place the trim on top of it.

Happy stampin'
