Snowman Season - Easel Card

I have to confess, I love sparkly snowmen and I love the Snowmen from Snowman Seasons. But I sometimes find the dark lines of using Momento ink to stamp the Snowman distracting. So I have been experimenting with different colours and types of ink to stamp the Snowman, whilst I am continuing with my Christmas card challenge.

I have tried to do something a little different creating a easel card which is simple to do and all you need is a scoring tool. Also the other thing to remember is only to glue the bottom of the card ( even I haven’t got this bit wrong.)

I have been using different colour combinations on these cards, these are:

Night of Navy and Balmy Blue

Night of Navy and Pool Party

Highland Heather and Blackberry Bliss

I love the supercute Snowman and think the Wink of Stella is a perfect addition to make him shine. I do love the Night of Navy Colour Combinations but I am a bit bias. Which is your favourite?

A different CASE

There are two different alternatives for the acronym CASE in the craft world. The first is copy and share everything, the other alternative is copy and selectively edit. Today I thought  that I would try the second meaning using the Global Design Project sketch.

Copy and selectively edit, means that you use the inspiration in a number of ways for inspiration, you could use the colours, sketch lay out, or pick out elements. From the stunning inspiration in #GDP200 I considered a number of options. The colours (I think that they are Crumb Cake, Lovely Lipstick and Petal Pink), the linen thread, the embossed layer, the three elements (using the Butterfly Gala Stamp set.)

I decided to go with the embossed background, three elements and the linen thread. Rather than using an embossing folder I used an embossing mat to make images of two snowflakes and used the same die to cut out the snowflakes.

Ingredients

Card Base – Petal Pink cardstock - 10.5cm x 29cm scored at 14.5cm

Layer - Whisper white – 9.5cm x 13.5cm

Scrap of  whisper white (for the snowflakes) and Sentiment

Linen thread

Early Expresso Ink

Seasonal Layer Dies

Ityy Bitty Greetings

Frosted and Clear Epoxy

I have loved playing with this sketch and creating a Christmas card. The GDP is an amazing source of creativity!
