Snow Wonder #5 - embossed snowfall

Here's another video showing you how to make a cute card using the Snow Wonder bundle from Stampin' Up!  This card has an emossed background of snow.  I always thought that getting out the embossing powder and heat tool was a lot of work for making a card......but this one is quite easy to make and it has that WOW factor that is sure to impress your friends and family.

Basic Directions for making this card:

• Real Red card base: 8-1/2 x 5-1/2; scored at 4-1/4
• Heartwarming Hugs DSP: 4 x 5-1/4
• Real Red mat: 3 x 4-1/4
• Basic Black card stock: 2-3/4 x 4
• Press Versamark ink pad all over the black card stock piece; sprinkle a small amount of white embossing powder over card stock and heat embosss for a snowy night sky look
• Attach paper layers to card front using Stampin' Seal
• Stamp snowman on Whisper White with Memento ink and color with Stampin' Blends; attach to embossed black card stock using Dimensionals
• Stamp greeting on Whisper White using ink to match the DSP; then cut out label using Snow Time dies; attach to the bottom of the card front using Dimensionals.
• Whisper White for inside of card: 4 x 5-1/4

You can purchase the stamp set and dies as a bundle to save 10%.  Click on the photo for more information and to add the item to your shopping bag or wish list.

You can also purchase the stamp sets separately.  Click on the images for more details and to add the item to your shopping bag or wish list.

                        

These products are in the August - December 2020 mini catalog.  If you like what you see - order now before they retire!

I have videos showing how to make the cards below using this stamp set. Click on the photo to see the video for that card.

Dragonfly Garden - sneak peek

 These are some of the cards I made with a stamp set from Stampin' Up!'s  January - June 2021 mini catalog.  Because I attended Stampin' Up!'s virtual convention last weekend - I was able to purchase a bundle of products from the next mini catalog. I made a total of 12 cards with this bundle - but these are 4 of my favorites.   The colors in these cards are Misty Moonlight and Bumble Bee.  We learned at the convention that Misty Moonlight was the best selling color during the last Stampin' Up! year - and it has only been part of the color collection since June!

I will wait to post the rest of the cards and the measurements for these cards. until it is closer to the new year.  I just wanted to share these cards with you  - to get you excited for what's coming in 2021.

BUT until then, we still have about 7 weeks left to purchase products from the August - December mini catalog.     It's not too late to purchase the supplies needed to make Christmas cards.  Place you order for gifts by December 9th - to have the best chance of getting your order delivered on time.

CONTACT ME if you have any questions!

Please follow my FACEBOOK PAGE, PINTEREST BOARDS, and YOU TUBE channel so you won't miss a thing!  

Although I don't have any details yet - I'm sure Stampin' Up! will be offering some sort of Black Friday sales.  Typically these are quick sales - so be sure to check back often for updates.

Thanks for stopping by!
