A pretty Christmas card made using non traditional colours and using the Snowflake Wishes stamp set

Rosy Snowflakes

Here is a sweet non-traditional rosy snowflakes Christmas card. I  really like the snowflakes in these unusual colours, they look quite bold.

To recreate the rosy snowflakes Christmas card, you will need:

Rococo Rose card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper right corner
Bermuda Bay – 5” by 3⅜” – Rounded upper right corner
Cherry Cobbler – 4¾” by 2⅞” – Rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 4⅝” by 2¾” – Rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded Upper right corner – for the inside

I ran the panel of Bermuda Bay through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine inside the Dainty Diamonds Embossing Folder and adhered it to the Rococo Rose card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I stamped the largest snowflake in Bermuda Bay ink randomly over the same panel. I added the other two snowflakes in Rococo Rose ink. The group of small snowflakes were stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink and the dotty image Was used to fill in the gaps using Rococo Rose ink.

Using one of the Blending Brushes I added some Rococo Rose ink over the stamped snowflakes. The panel was then added to the Cherry Cobbler panel using the liquid glue. The panel was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

A clean and simple snowflake tree ornament made using the So Many Snowflake dies by Stampin' Up!

Snowflake Tree Ornament

Welcome to the November 2020 Ink, Stamp, Share Blog Hop. Our theme this month is ‘Christmas Tree Bauble’ and I have used the gorgeous So Many Snowflakes Dies to make my simple snowflake tree ornament. If you have started here of hopped over from my crafty friend Susan Simpson, you are very welcome.

To recreate the Snowflake Tree Ornament, you will need:

Magenta Madness card
Gold Foil card

Using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine I die cut 2 of the medium snowflakes from Gold Foil card and 4 smaller snowflakes from the Magenta Madness card.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A pretty snowflake tree ornament made for the Ink, Stamp, Share Blog Hop using the So Many Snowflake Dies

I used a rolled up Mini Glue Dot to adhere one of the Gold Foil snowflakes to the Gold Hoop. The second Gold Foil snowflake was added to the back using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to stick the snowflakes together.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A pretty snowflake tree ornament made for the Ink, Stamp, Share Blog Hop using the So Many Snowflake Dies

The Magenta Madness snowflakes were laid on my grid paper and sprayed with Champagne Shimmer Mist. This was made by pouring 70% alcohol into a Stampin’ Spritzer and adding a pea sized blob of Champagne Shimmer Paint before shaking well and spraying the snowflakes. This gives a lovely shimmer and the alcohol means it dries quickly.

I hope you like the card.

Snowflake Wishes stamp set by Stampin' Up! used to make a pretty Christmas card

Snowflake Wishes

Today I am sharing a pretty Christmas card made using the Snowflake Wishes stamp set. This card was inspired by a card made by Ruth – the Artful Stamper

To recreate the Snowflake Wishes card you will need:

Seaside Spray card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Misty Moonlight – 5½” by 3¾”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2

A cute poinsetta stamped mini treat box and a hand stamped snowman candle using Stampin' Up! product

Snowman candle for December Classes

Classes this week were so much fun as we were making some of the gorgeous Mini Curvy Keepsake Boxes and stamping on candles using the Snowman Season and Cup of Christmas stamp sets. We began by making the cute candle.

To recreate the Snowman candle you will need:

White Tissue Paper
Greaseproof or wax paper
Momento Tuxedo Black Ink
Blends – dark Cherry Cobbler, dark Bermuda bay & dark Pumpkin Pie

Using the Memento ink we stamped the snow man onto the slightly smoother, slightly glossier side of the tissue paper. After I bit of trial and error one of my team members and I noticed that the ink stayed a darker if stamped on the smooth side.

A sweet little snowman candle ready for Christmas

www.crafty-rootes.com – a gorgeous hand stamped candle using the Snowman Seasons stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

Using Scissors we cut away the excess tissue paper around the image and placed the stamped image, ink side up onto the candle

A long thin piece of greaseproof paper, slightly wider than the candle was wrapped the candle with the excess gathered at the back of the candle to act as a handle.

We used a Heat Tool to set the image into the candle. The trick is to apply the heat quite close – about 2 – 3 inches away from the greaseproof. If you watch carefully you will see the ink darken and the edges of the tissue paper disappear. Then roll the candle from side to side a couple of times on a hard surface to smooth out any lumpy areas then gently peel away the greasproof. If you can still see tissue paper then repeat the heating step. We stamped a sentiment and applied it to the candle in the same way.

Taking the following Blends markers we coloured in the image on the candle – dark Cherry Cobbler, dark Bermuda Bay & dark Pumpkin Pie

To recreate the Mini Curvy Keepsake Boxes you will need:

5½” by 5½” piece of Whisper White cardstock x 2
Scrap Whisper White

The ladies die cut the Mini Curvy Keepsake Boxes from the Whisper White cardstock panels. The also die cut 2 of the cute tags from the same set of dies.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A sweet mini curvy keepsake bx decorated with a poinsetta stamp

We stamped the snowflakes from the Snowman Season stamp set randomly over the 4 sides of one of the boxes in Pool party ink. And for the other box we used the small poinsettia image from the Cup of Christmas stamp set in Real Red ink stamping once on each panel.

We folded on all the score lines and used a bone folder to curl each of the sides. The ladies then put the boxes together tucking the tags inside for safe keeping to be added to the box after they have filled it.

A pretty flirty snowman Christmas card made using the Snowman Seasons stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Flirty Snowman

This Flirty Snowman card started out as a swap I received at OnStage Live in Dortmand from one of my lovely team mates Katie Van Der Heijden. She designed the 3” by 3” Coastal Cabana square as a mini pizza box topper. I went rogue and added mine to a card front.

To recreate the Flirty Snowman card you will need:

Flirty Flamingo card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Coastal Cabana 3” by 3”
Whisper White 2⅞” by 2⅞”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – for the inside
Scrap Flirty Flamingo

Katie had stamped the snowman from the Snowman Seasons stamp set with Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto the small panel of Whisper White.

The snowman was coloured in by Katie using the following Blends Markers – Smoky Slate combo, Flirty Flamingo combo and Purple Posy combo.  A trio of Basic Pearls, coloured with the dark Flirty Flamingo Blends Marker was added.

Embossing with the Blizzard Thinlit dies

Embossing with the Blizzard Thinlit die

At team training last week Mikaela – my team leader – brought the gorgeous Blizzard Thinlit die and the new Embossing Mats for us to try out and asked us to make a card featuring the embossed piece…….this is mine.

Making the Blizzard Card

To emboss the panel we started with a piece of Pool Party cardstock big enough to cover the entire die. We used the Big Shot Platform, then the die face up, then the cardstock, then the thin blue silicon sheet and lastly the white embossing plate and ran the sandwich through the Big Shot. The effect is stunning and you can use either the positive or negative sides. Using my Paper Trimmer I cut the panel down to 4¾” by 3⅜” and rounded the upper left and lower right corners using the Detailed trio Punch.

I added the embossed layer to a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5” by 3⅝” after rounding the same corners.  This panel was then added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to a Night of Navy card base with identically rounded corners.

I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and die cut it using an oval from the Stitched Shapes dies. I stamped the sweet little snowflake cluster on the bottom of the die cut piece in Pool Party ink.

I added a small piece of Tear ‘N Tape to the card front, wrapped some Silver Metallic Thread around my hand and added it to the Tear ‘N Tape. The sentiment piece was then added over the thread on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Taking some scrap Whisper White cardstock I die cut some of the snowflakes using the Blizzard die and added one to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. To finish I added some Basic Rhinestones.
