Holiday Catalog Sneak Peek: Let It Snow Gift Cards
Hi Stamping Friends!
If you're a fan of snowmen, you're going to LOVE the new Let It Snow suite in the upcoming Holiday Catalog! Today, I shared a couple of cute cards spotlighting this suite in my LIVE Class! Catch the Replay below and get the details for one of the projects I shared.
Let It Snow Designer Series Paper—The cool Pool Party and Real Red color combination and the sparkly accents on this pretty Let It Snow specialty 12x12" paper make it the star of the show in the Let It Snow suite! You can get 6x6" samples of all 6 double-sided patterns when you participate in my Holiday Catalog Paper Share! See details below!
Who doesn't need a gift card holder during the holidays and this one is super-easy to make! I designed these cards for a special class I'll be teaching at this year's Fort Wayne Rubber Stamp & Scrapbook Getaway!, on October 3, from 1:00 - 2:30pm at the Memorial Coliseum. If you're in the Fort Wayne area, check out the link for class details and plan to visit my booth at the expo on October 4-5!
Background Basics—I started with a 4-1/4" x 10" piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock, scored at the 5-1/2" and 8-1/4" marks.
Gift Card Holder—I folded the card base on the score lines, then used the 1-3/4" Circle Punch to punch out a notch on the short end panel, to make it easier to get the gift card out of the pocket. It's adhered with Tear & Tape Adhesive on the top and bottom edges.
Inside The Card—I adhered a 5-1/4" x 1" piece of the Let It Snow DSP along the bottom edge of a 5-1/4" x 4" piece of Whisper White for the inside layer. Once the front of the card was designed and in place, I stamped the Snowman Season greeting in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the corner of the message area and added some Pool Party snowflake images on the top. (Stamp those images with the card front closed for good positioning.)
Snowman Focal Point—I added a 2-3/4" x 4" piece of Let It Snow DSP to the front flap of the card for the background. Next, I stamped the Snowman Season image in Memento Black onto the largest Stitched Shapes circle die-cut. I used Watercolor Pencils with Blender Pens to add color to the image. You can get tips on that in the video. Colors used: Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Bermuda Bay, Smoky Slate. I layered the circle onto a Bermuda Bay scallop circle die-cut from the Layering Circles dies. It's popped up onto the card front flap with Dimensionals. So quick, so cute!
Two Cool—In the LIVE Class video, I assembled a card with a different pattern on the background, then added more sparkle to the card to match the sparkle in the DSP. If you look closely, you can see some Wink of Stella shimmer on the snowman himself, and a couple of Rhinestone Jewels on the snowflakes in the corner. I used Stampin' Blends Markers to color this one: Light Bermuda Bay, Light Real Red, Light Pumpkin Pie and Light Smoky Slate.
Three Cool—I created another version with a card base in Real Red and a different combo of the Let It Snow DSP.
