The tall vase was stamped in Versamark ink onto scrap Basic White card. I covered it with Gold Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. The whole vase was coloured in using the Light Cloud Cover Blends Pen and the flowers picked out with the Dark Cloud Cover Blends Pen. Using a craft knife I cut a slit in the top of the vase and inserted the stem of 2 of the flowers. The whole piece was then added to the label on Dimensionals. The final flower was slipped underneath the vase and glued in position.

A pretty 'that-a-way' fun fold Christmas card made using the Festive Friends stamp set and dies from Stampin' Up!

Snowman That-a-Way card

This adorable snowman that-a-way card was inspired by a video made by the Tatted Stamper showcasing the ‘that-a-way’ fun fold and I just had to try it using the pretty snowman from the Festive Friends stamp set.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

To recreate the snowman that-a-way card, you will need:

Thick Basic Card Base – 11½” by 4” – scored at 5¼”
Beautiful Bokeh dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Scrap Basic White and Granny Apple Green

 

With a pencil, lightly mark the card front at 2” on the short side then cut from the 2” mark to the centre scoreline on the right. Repeat the cut on the left side to leave a pointed card front. Place the 2 cut pieces together, face down, to form a triangle and use Sellotape to adhere the pieces together.
