Hello friends, In the mist of rearranging my craft room,I happen to run across a half done card, A Christmas card at that. I started this one, sometime ago, one I started and decided I wasn't in the mood to finish or lost my train of "Thought". It's retired , a big block stamp , never used it before and after I stamped out a dozen or so of want-to-bes (cards), I stopped and started on something else. Well I decided to finish it. The stamp on one side has a large snowflake, on the otherside a smaller snowflake.
I also started this card from the inside out!
Supplies I used:
Stazon White #106960 (comes with a refill)
Stazon Jet Black #101406
Winter Wishes Block stamp( retired)
Grateful Greeting #116511
Various Color of Cardstock
2-way Glue Pen #100425
Clear Embossing Powder #109130
*Embossing Buddy #103083
Dazzling Diamond Glitter #102023
Cut 8x11 cardstock in half to start 2 cards. Stamp using Stazon White, the large snowflake in the inside of card. Allow time to dry before handling.
Emboss the smaller snowflake on the outside of card.
Make sure that you use your "EMBOSSING BUDDY" to prevent static to paper. Thats those messy spots on cards when heated.
As you can see on the blue card the messy embossing powder. I didn't use my buddy. With Glue Pen, color in the snowflake on the outside of card. Apply Dazzling Diamond Glitter. Tap off, set aside to dry.
I punched out the dots for the "i's" in "Christmas Greeting", and used Gold Brads #104337 to highlight alittle...
Cut Real Red cardstock in Strips (2"), Bargain Ribbons 7" long. Take glue dots and place on brads, loop ribbon and attach to back of "Christmas Greeting".
Place on Real Red strips, trim. Use 3 Glue Dots per "Christmas Greeting", place glue dot in middle of ribbon where it crosses.
Trim to frame saying.
Use desired Glue to back and place on desired spot!
So the "Set aside" project that had no idea of whatever it was going to be, finally became "The SnowFlake Card". That's the way too GO!
Never push a project if the Brain Cells Dies, it can be easily pick-up at a different time with a "FRESHER" outlook than what you had before!
Until next time........
Harriet
