Here is the Christmas card I made for the demonstrator swap. As I have mentioned before, I do not use traditional red and green. So this card is a flip card that opens out. The colors are blushing bride, silver and white ribbon. I took alot of pictures so you could see how the snowflake is done.
Here is the recipe:
STAMP SET: Letterpress winter*
CARD STOCK: Blushing Bride 5-1/2” x 6”
White Vellum 3-1/2” square
Silver Foil 1” x 1”
INK: Silver Metallic Encore Pad
ACCESSORIES: Northern Flurry Embossing Folder
Silver Embossing Powder
Stampin’ Glue Stick
Multipurpose Liquid Glue
5/8” Organza Ribbon 15”
Big Shot
Waxed Paper
Pierce Mat
DIRECTIONS:
- Use big shot to cut out snowflake card.
- Emboss using folder.
- Stamp & emboss large snowflake.
- Cut out using the thinlit, rotate and cut a 2nd time.
- adhere with glue stick.
- Cut out “joy” and use liquid glue to adhere.
- Fold and add ribbon.
 |
| TIP: Cut your paper at 5-1/2″ so you can get 2 cards out of a sheet of paper. Use painters tape to secure your card stock inside the thinlit. |
 |
| Use Silver Encore Pad to ink up stamp. |
 |
| TIP: I used my pierce mat to give a little cushion to ensure you get a good stamped image–especially in the middle |
 |
| Again use tape to secure the embossed image and run through big shot. |
 |
| Here you can see that part of the snowflake has not been cut out. |
 |
| TIP: Rotate the snowflake .You can feel the grooves that have already been cut. Secure with tape and run through big shot again. |
 |
| Now it’s ready to be glued. Be sure to cover all areas. |
 |
| TIP:When using thinlits that are detailed, use waxed paper to ensure it pops right out. Layer the silver foil paper, waxed paper, and thinlit. Then cut out. |
Happy stampin’,
