Brightest Glow & Snowflake Magic DSP for my October 2023 Creative Therapy Classes

Oh, my goodness, the Snowflake Magic Specialty Paper is Beautiful!  It is so popular, SU is out of stock right now, and is due back in inventory the week of October 9, 2023.  I will be ordering more, for sure. 

 

Recipe:

• The base is an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Basic Black, scored at 4 1/4.
• The Lost Lagoon layer is 5 1/4 x 4.
• The 5 x 3 3/4 layer of Basic White is first stamped with Tuxedo Memento Black ink and a stamp from Brightest Glow, then embossed with the Snowflake Sky 3D folder.
• The two Basic Black squares are 2 7/8 x 2 7/8 and are glued to the card front.
• I cut eight 1 1/4" squares from the Snowflake Magic Specialty Paper and glued them starting with the white snowflake piece in the right corner of the horizontal square. I glued the darker snowflake piece under the white and kept going to the bottom and to the left.  If this doesn't make any sense, please visit YouTube and search Stampin' Up! Pinwheel Cards or check out Lisa Curcio's video Here
• I cut 4 snowflakes from the Chic Dies and Silver Foil.  I adhered these with glue dots.

  Autumn Leaves Bundle

This card can be anything you want it to be.  

I saw this idea on Pinterest and traced it back to Mary Deatherage's post of August 8, 2023, and you can see her card Here.  I did add another layer or two, couldn't' help myself.  

Recipe:

• The bases are 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.
• The next Very Vanilla layers are 5 3/8 x 4 1/8. 
• The Copper Clay or Moody Mauve layers are 5 1/8 x 3 7/8.
• The next Very Vanilla layers are 4 7/8 x 3 5/8 and embossed with the Distressed Tile 3D folder.
• I cut two 6 x 5/8 pieces of All About Autumn DSP for each card and added them to the embossed Very Vanilla layers with liquid glue.
• I cut 4 1/4 x 3 pieces of All About Autumn DSP, adhered them to the upper right-hand corners on the embossed Very Vanilla layers with liquid glue, and trimmed off the edges of all with my amazing SU Paper Snips.
• I cut a 3 3/4" piece of the Natural Ribbon and adhered it to the Vanilla with adhesive.  Next, I folded a piece of the Copper or Moody Mauve ribbon and adhered it to the Natural Ribbon.
• I cut out two large leaves for each card.  Pretty Peacock and Copper Clay, and Pretty Peacock and Moody Mauve (hint: cut the Copper Clay and Moody Mauve leaves out of the 5 1/8 x 3 7/8 layers, saves paper).  Emboss the leaves with the Distressed 3D tile folder.
• The vanes for the leaves are cut out with adhesive sheets and Gold Foil and Distressed Gold Specialty Paper. By adding the adhesive sheets to the foils, it was so easy to adhere the vanes to the leaves.  No mess either!!!
• The words are stamped on Very Vanilla with Pretty Peacock and/or Moody Mauve inks and cut out with a die from the Autumn Leaves Dies.  I adhered these with Dimensionals.
• To finish off my cards I added three 2023-25 In-Color Dots.
• All done and remember to decorate your envelope.

 Season of Chic & Sparkling Snowflakes Winter Snowflake Card

I enjoyed making this snowflake winter card.  So much fun, so little time.

Recipe:

• The base is an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Azure Afternoon scored at 4 1/4.
• Adhere a 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 piece of Silver Cardstock to the base with your favorite glue.
• The Basic White layer is 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 and is cut with the second to the largest of the Deckled Rectangle Dies.  Adhere to the Silver.
• The next Basic White and Vellum Cardstock layers are cut out with the third from the largest Deckled Dies.
• Randomly stamp the Basic White Cardstock with the snowflake die from Season of Chic with Versamark.  Sprinkle the snowflakes with white embossing powder and melt with a Heat Tool.  
• Cover the entire white piece of snowflakes with Balmy Blue ink and a Blending Brush.
• Adhere the Vellum to the embossed Basic White with glue dots or liquid glue.
• Wrap some Azure Blue 3/8" ribbon (from the Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack) around these two pieces.  I added a bow with glue dots and adhered this combo to the card.
• The words, from Sparkling Snowflakes are stamped on a 2 1/2 x 1 1/4 piece of Basic White, and I repeated the same technique as the vellum pieces then I cut it out with the smallest of Deckled Dies.  I added this piece to a 2 1/2 x 1 piece of Silver Cardstock.
