Winter/Holidays for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

This month, we are celebrating Winter/Holidays for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop. And, for me, nothing screams winter more than snowflakes.

I decided to go a little untraditional with the color as well. Snowflakes are usually paired with blues, but you have to admit that they look pretty good in pink.

The Whimsy & Wonder specialty designer series paper (DSP) is a pack of paper that is made up of untraditional holiday colors. You don’t usually think of Blushing Bride as a holiday color, but it really works!

The other combination of colors in this DSP are:

The pictures don’t really do this paper justice. It is gorgeous in person with all iridescent accents!

To make the card

• Begin with a 7″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Basic White Thick cardstock, score and fold at 3 1/2″ to form your card base.
• Sandwich a 2″ x 8 1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock in the Wintry 3D embossing folder and run through your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine. (hint- you will need to do this in two steps. Place half of the piece into the folder, emboss, then turn it around, insert the other side, and emboss.)
• Adhere the white embossed piece to a 3 1/4″ x 8 1/4″ piece of Whimsy & Wonder designer series paper (DSP) using Stampin’ SEAL.

• Wrap two 12” pieces of Blushing Bride Frayed Grosgrain ribbon around your DSP (at the edge of the white embossed piece), secure the ends with adhesive, and adhere to the card base using Stampin’ SEAL.

• Crop the following with your Gingerbread dies using your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine: three detailed snowflakes in Basic White cardstock and three snowflake backgrounds in Blushing Bride cardstock.
• Adhere the white snowflake to the Blushing Bride snowflake with a Glue Dot in the center. Then, adhere them both to an iridescent Wonderful Snowflake with another Glue Dot.

• Attach all three snowflakes to the card (centered and evenly spaced) using Stampin’ Dimensionals. (hint- start with the center snowflake to ensure even spacing on the sides.)

Prepare to stamp and heat emboss

• Stamp your sentiment on a 9/16″ x 3 3/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock using Versamark ink. Quickly dust some silver Embossing Powder over it, remove the excess, and set in place with your Heat Tool.
• Punch the ends of your sentiment with the Banners Pick a Punch and adhere to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

• Attach five Rhinestone Basic Jewels as shown.
