How I Made a Sparkling Snowflake Background Christmas Card

How I Made a Sparkling Snowflake Background Christmas Card – Beary Cute – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

I love stamping my own patterned paper. Do you? The inspiration for the colours I used here came from the Snowflake Magic speciality designer series paper. It is a lovely foiled set of papers. I’m only using a little bit at a time I am hoarding it as it’s just so pretty.

When I first designed this card, I felt something was missing. It was an embellishment. The glitter sequins in the middle of the snowflakes bring the whole card to life. Do you agree? I think it would be nice to create a set of cards of this design in different colours to give as a gift. A future project down the line.

How to * Snowflake Heat Embossed Background

How to * Snowflake Heat Embossed Background – Snowflake Wishes – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK

How is everyone doing? Only a few weeks until Christmas. Are you excited? Yes, I am. I love the build-up to Christmas with all the lovely music, pretty lights and of course Christmas movies.

Here is a snowflake card I have to share with you today. I heat embossed the snowflakes with white embossing powder. They look so vibrant against the Night of Navy background. If you use a white craft ink it will never look as bright as white heat embossing. I used rhinestones in the centre of each snowflake for that extra bling effect!!

Using a Snowflake Stencil To Make a Background

Using a Snowflake Stencil To Make a Background – Christmas to Remember – Blending – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This turned out so well. I used the snowflake stencil from the Adorning pack of stencils. I used the blending brushes with Balmy Blue and then Pacific Point to make this background. The snowflakes are then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

Make an Oversized Tag for Christmas – Stampin’ Up!

Make an Oversized Tag for Christmas – Snowflake Splendour – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

I made an oversize tag last year and decided to do one again. I love that it can double as a tag and a Christmas card. The paper is of course my favourite Snowflake Splendour. This is the last project I have to share with you using this paper and will be really sad to see it go. I love the colouring, the variations of blues and purples together.

So have you finished all your Christmas shopping? I am writing this blog on 4th November as England is due to go back into Lockdown for 4 weeks. I hope that by the time this goes live we will be out of it and hopefully seeing some light at the end of the tunnell.

How to Make a Hand Stamped Bookmark

How to Make a Hand Stamped Bookmark – Snowflake Christmas Bookmark – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

As you most probably already know I am in love with the Snowflake Splendour suite of products from Stampin’ Up! This bookmark features the Snowflake Splendour stamp set.

I have used it here to stamp my own patterned paper. The two colours I’ve used are Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather. I was going to add Pacific Point blue but I felt it was too much and the two tones of purple worked well alone. The purple tri-coloured ribbon just finishes it off perfectly.

Stamping a blank piece of cardstock is a great way to create your own bespoke patterned paper in just the colours and design you wish. Everytime I do this I am so pleased with the results and wonder why I didn’t do more sooner.

Make a Snowflake Die Cut Card – Stampin’ Up!

Make a Snowflake Die Cut Card – Stampin’ Up! – Snowflake Splendour – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I absolutely love the Snowflake Splendour suite of products from Stampin’ Up! The paper especially is just so pretty. This card is from my recent card club which was based on the Snowflake Splendour suite of products. You can details of it here.

I used one of the dies to cut out this intricate snowflake shape and paired it with a sentiment for a simple and easy card. The variations of all the blues is just stunning and it really needs very little doing to it. The blue adhesive backed gems just give it that extra touch of bling.

How to Make it Shake!! Christmas Shaker Card

How to Make it Shake!! Christmas Shaker Card. Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I love shaker cards but sometimes struggle with making them. This one turned out really well I think. The sequins around the card pic up on the sequins in the shaker card and give it a lovely cohesive effect. I embossed the Balmy Blue layer with the Woodlands embossing folder which matches the woodland feel of the stamped image.

When I was a child, I love Snow Globes. They weren’t as widely available as they are now and were so special. I love just loved watching all the glittery snow falling down on the scene. I still have a few that I have collected over the years that I put out for Christmas. This year I want to try and make one for myself. Watch this space!!

Life is Better When We’re Having Fun Together – SU!

Life is Better When We’re Having Fun Together – Stampin’ Up! – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

Oh my gosh, I love this card. Aren’t these little critters so cute? They are from the Freezin’ Fun stamp set and accompanying dies.

Life is Better When We're Having Fun Together - Alcohol Markers - Stampin' Up!- — Life is Better When We’re Having Fun Together – Alcohol Markers – Stampin’ Up!-

I coloured everything in using the Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers. Colouring in is very therapeutic I find. I am immersed in what I’m doing and forget about everything else.

As I said the stamp set is “Freezin’ Fun” and has matching dies, of course. The minute I saw this set in the catalogue I knew I had to have it. I love that there is the stitched hillside die as well to give you this wonderful snowy scene. Alternative you could use this die for green flowing hills as well.

Snowglobe Shaker Card – Still Scenes – Stampin’ Up!

I have another attempt at a snowglobe shaker card to share with you today. I love the idea of a shaker card but don’t enjoy making them. The sequins get everywhere and more seem to stick to me than get in the shaker dome!!!

I’ve used the Still Scenes stamp set to stamp the wintery cottage scene. I have coloured it in with our watercolour pencils. I love colouring in and watercolouring is a very forgiving medium. The two polar bears are so cute and love the image of the mother kissing her little baby bear.

Balmy Blue – 1.5cm x 9.5cm

I felt the background was a bit bland and therefore have lifted using the same snowflake sequins that are in the shaker dome. I adhered them with a tiny dot of Tombow. The “Take Your Pick Tool” makes placement super easy without getting your fingers stuck in the glue.
