Snowflake Shaker Card





Today I am showing you another snowflake card. I like snowflake cards as they are so delicate. 

I die cut a white background panel with a snowflake pattern twice of Poppy Stamps. I adhered the 2 panels together to give the background more dimension. I added the panel onto a white base card.
I then cut out the rectangle scalloped nesting die about 6 times. Behind the first one I added a piece of acetate as my window. I then added the five remaining panels behind that. It was a bit fiddly to remove all the pierced parts of each rectangle but the result is beautiful. I added the sequins, beads and pearls as my shaker material in the middle of the background panel and then carefully placed the shaker window over that. I used glue to adhere the shaker panel because it still allows you to move the window a bit if it needs to be adjusted. 
Then I cut four snowflakes in different sizes and colors and stacked them on top of one another. It is a bit bulky but that is also what make this card so unique. I die cut a button about 4 times and tied them together using some cream crochet yarn and I added a nice little string bow on top of the button using some glue. There really is no room for a sentiment on this card but I guess not every card needs a sentiment when it speaks for itself. 
I probably won't be mailing this one as is kind of thick to mail but I will hand deliver this one myself.

I will be adding this to the following challenges:

A Snowflake Card in Blue



Today I am showing a snowflake card in blue. I kind got an idea in my head how it was suppose too look so this is the end result.

I took a piece of snowflake designer paper from Studio Light. They have these A5 paperblocs and they are so nice to use. I inked up the border of the snowflake paper using some Distress Oxide Ink. I added a snowflake frame that I got on a second hand market so don't know the brand. I die cut the large snow sentiment from Papertrey Ink about 3 times and stacked them together to give it dimension. And for the finishing touch some silver sequins and some pearls to the centers of the snowflakes. A quick and nice looking holiday card.

Till next time

A Snowy Christmas Card


Today I am showing you a card filled with snowflakes on a pink grunge background.

I used white for my base card. I added a printed grunge background in pink. I really like this one so much. It is from Creative Fabrica. I pierced a border on the larger and smaller panel of my card and then stitched it with white yarn. That was the part of this card that took the longest to complete but it looks and feels so nice. I the added about four snowflakes for Papertrey Ink. I added some white pearls in the middle of the snowflakes. Underneath the small panel I added some leaves and branches of Spellbinders in white. I then popped it onto foam tape and added it to the card. For the finishing touch I added a few pearls here and there in different sizes and added a die cut stamped sentiment to it and voila. A really nice almost vintage looking snowy christmas card.

I will be adding this to the following challenges:
