Another very simple Christmas card today. It uses the Stampin Up stamp set Snow Burst (snow flakes) and Snow Swirled (greeting) and also Stampin Up colors Pacific Point and Bashful Blue. I randomly stamped the snowflakes on a 2 3/4" x 2 3/4" piece of Shimmery White and then used my 1 3/8" square punch to cut out the squares (but I could have just used my cutter and cut them into squares that are 1 3/8" x 1 3/8") I then added dazzingly diamonds with a glue pen and adhered them to a 3 1/4" x 3 1/4" piece of Pacific Point and adhere that to a piece of 4" x 4" Bashful Blue. Sorry for reposting...I forgot to add the icicles. See the post right below for a video on how to make the icicles.
Before I attached the Bashful Blue piece to the card front, I pierced some holes with my paper piercer around the edges of the 'window', then I adhered it to the card base. If you don't have a paper piercer, you can just use an ordinary large needle or safety pin as the piercer and print out some dots in line or a swirl to use as a guide and then pierce on top of a piece of fun foam. For the finishing touch, I added the greeting from Snow Swirled stamp set.
The night before I had made icicles to hang from the window (and forgot to put them on in the original post). They were made by squeezing Stampin Up's Crystal Effects (I think white glue and glitter might also work) onto wax paper in the shape of icicles and then adding Dazzling Diamonds on top, shaking off the excess and then letting it sit overnight to harden. When dry, just pull off from the wax paper and attach to the project with Crystal Effects or glue. Check out the video HERE. Thanks for looking!
