My projects today feature the October Main Kit stamps, dies, and iridescent ink, the Graphic Snowflake Bold Print, the Delicate Snowflake Bold Print, Peace Love & Joy Stamp Set, and Stacking Snowflakes Stamp Set. I love everything about this release so be sure to check back throughout the month for additional holiday cards featuring the Add On stamps and dies!
The scene cards were created using stamps and dies from the Main Kit and the Delicate Snowflake Bold Print background stamp.
For this first card, I masked the bottom edge of the an A2 size piece of Bristol Smooth Cardstock and inked the top part of the background with Mermaid Lagoon and Chipped Sapphire Distress Inks and then inked up the Delicate Snowflake Bold Print with the same to inks for a tone-on-tone effect.
The "ice" from the Main Kit was stamped directly on the background and colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers before being painted with a thin layer of the Iridescent Ink.
Images from the Main Kit were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black Ink, colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and die cut with the coordinating dies.
A sentiment and snowflakes from the Main Kit were stamped on the dry background (make sure you either let the background air dry completely or hit it with a heat tool to speed up the drying time) were stamped with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with Hero Arts White Embossing Powder.
Polar White Flower Soft was adhered to parts of the tree to resemble "snow" and the images were adhered to the scene with a combination of a tape runner of foam adhesive. The foam adhesive on the deer, boy, girl, and birds give some added dimension to this scene card!
For my second scene card I used several of the same images but changed to a portrait style card and switched out the boy and girl ice skaters for a different skating girl image.
I inked up the background with Shaded Lilac and Blueprint Sketch Distress Inks before stamping the Delicate Snowflake Bold Print with the same to inks for a tone-on-tone effect.
Images from the Main Kit were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black Ink, colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and die cut with the coordinating dies.
A sentiment from the Stacking Snowflakes Stamp Set was stamped below the scene with Blueprint Sketch Distress Ink and snowflakes from the Main Kit were stamped on the dry background were stamped with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with Hero Arts White Embossing Powder.
The rest of the design was finished exactly the same as the first scene card!
My third card share today features a similar background with layered embossing on top for this classic design.
The background was inked with Cracked Pistachio and Lucky Clover Distress Inks before being stamping the Graphic Snowflake Bold Print over the inked background using the same two colors of Distress Ink.
I used a heat tool to completely dry the background and then s tamped the "peace & joy" greetings from the Peace, Love, & Joy Stamp Set over the ombre background with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with Hero Arts White Embossing Powder. The greenery from the stamp set was stamped with Lucky Clover Distress Oxide Ink and heat embossed with Hero Arts Clear Embossing Powder. The pinecones were embossed with Hero Arts Copper Embossing Powder.
Phrases from the Peace, Love, Joy Stamp Set were stamped on Lawn Fawn Chili Powder Cardstock with Versamark Ink, heat embossed with Hero Arts White Embossing Powder, trimmed into this strips and adhered as shown.
Nuvo Crystal Drops in Autumn Red adorn the center of the snowflakes in the background to complete the design.
