Tarheel Stamper - Snowflake Trio



Snowflake Trio

Photographed in natural light

Photographed with flash



 Largest is about 15 inches in diameter



I saw a magazine with snowflakes made of wooden craft sticks and wood shapes and loved them so I made some.  One hint they had was to draw intersecting lines on a scrap paper and then use that to build your snowflake.  It makes it easier to glue them together correctly.  I used lots of glitter, but it was hard to photograph.  I stamped the trio of snowflakes in Serene Snowflakes on a glue pad and then sprinkled glitter on top of that.  They are so pretty hanging in the window.  These are hard to photograph.  The diameter of the largest is 15 inches.  I spray painted them white.  There is a plastic ring hot glued to the back to hang them from on some pretty ribbon.  Hope you have a wonderful day!  Let it snow...let it snow....let it snow...somewhere else today.  LOL We are visiting Brattonsville Plantation to see their Christmas event.  I love Christmas and attending local Christmas events.  Check out your local calendars and see what is available near you!  Have fun with your family and of course stamp something!  LOL

Happy Stampin',

My watermark on my photo should say card stamped by Tammy Howell not designed.  Sorry about that.

 




 

I cased this card for this challenge.  I love the simplicity of Clean and Simple cards, but rarely make them.  I find one layer cards difficult to make.  These two cards I made are the same except for the colors.

I used the CAS Challenge sketch pictured in yesterday's post here.

Card Supplies:

Stamp Sets: Come to Bethlehem, Serene Snowflakes

Card Stock - Pacific Point, Marina Mist

Ink - Pacific Point, Marina Mist, Versamark

Stampin Up! Serene Snowflakes Christmas Card 2009

This is going to be one of my Christmas cards this year. I love the Christmas Cocoa Specialty Designer Series paper in the Holiday Mini. It is still available for order. I wanted something simple to mass produce. I used a Sheetloads of Cards template for this one. I cut everything out in around an hour and then stamped and put them together in about an hour. This template made 12 cards so I was very happy with the time used to make them. I give out a lot of cards at church and mailing them to friends and family. I still need to make a lot more. If I were going to mail this card, I would probably use a strip of Real Red instead of the ribbon so I would not have to spend extra to mail them.

I have more card stock cut out and waiting to be stamped and put together for a different card design. I will share that one later. I hope to have a few days next week to get them all finished and addressed and in the mail. I know I love to look at the cards I receive for as long as I can. I tape them up on a wall to use as a decoration. I love Christmas! It is my favorite holiday plus the celebration of the birth of my Saviour! All supplies are from Stampin' Up! and are listed below.

• Card stock - Whisper White, Soft Suede, Real Red, Christmas Cocoa Specialty Designer Series Paper
