Stitched Snowflake Dies, Bright Baubles, Christmas Card, 2021 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog

Today I thought I'd play with the "Stitched Snowflakes" dies. I thought they were just adorable and I LOVE snowflakes!  So here's what I came up with.

I feel like I'm working with very limited Christmas supplies. I did not order any Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP). I had gotten some in the Sale-a-Bration and that was it. I don't know what I was thinking. So I am going to have to get creative.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock.  On top of that is a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Basic White card stock.  

I cut a 1" x 5" strip of Basic White card stock and I took my blending brush and lightly scrubbed in some Pool Party ink.  Then I took the snowflakes image from the "Bright Baubles" set and stamped them on the piece. I had stamped off once before stamping on the piece and then I stamped one more time before I inked it up again only to stamp off and repeat!  I also took the blending brush and brushed along the edges of that strip to highlight them a little more. I taped it on top of the 3-3/4" x 5" piece using snail tape.  I taped it about 3/4" from the left side edge.

The word "Joy" is from the "Bright Baubles" set and was stamped using Pool Party ink

I die cut the largest snowflake using Basic White card stock.  Then I colored it using my Wink of Stella pen.  It doesn't show up on the snowflake in the photo but in real life it's very sparkly and pretty. It's got such a soft sparkle.

The tips of the snowflake were colored using the blending brush. I also took a paint brush with Pool Party ink on it and brushed it on the tips of the inner part of the snowflake.  I set the snowflake in place with a small white Dimensional and that was it.

This is a very quick and easy card to make. I can see myself making more of these!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop by and see today's Christmas card,
