Snowflakes Wishes - Standard Card and Slimline card

  
It's not the time for Snowflakes in the air just yet, but it is time to make Christmas cards with the new Snowflakes Wishes set.  As a demonstrator, I do monthly swaps with other demos and I received the standard card from a fellow demo, Cooki  Osinski a few months ago.  At the time, I was wanting to create the Slimline cards, so I thought why not try to create her card doing a Slimline and I really like the results.  She used the Winter Snow Embossing Folder and I was wondering how I could use it in a Slimline card since the card would be longer than the embossing folder.  No problem!  All I did was emboss it once and then turn it around to emboss the other side.  The only problem was there was a line in the middle, so the Highland Heather cardstock cut using Stitched Rectangles would cover it up.
She also used the Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper to die cut her snowflakes.  How come one of them is Highland Heather?  You can get that effect by using Versamark, Clear Embossing, Highland Heather ink, and the Heat Tool.  I don't know if that was the way she did it but it was the way I did it.  Although, I think she did several more coats than I did.  The sentiment is stamped with the new In-Color Misty Moonlight The Snowflake Splendor DSP also adds a lot to this card and I would have never put these two colors (Highland Heather and Balmy Blue) together, but I really like them, don't you?

Don't Stop Believin' - Shaving Cream

Have you done the shaving cream technique lately?  After doing my other card using the Feels Like Frost DSP for the background, I thought I'd like the background to look like spilled cocoa.  I put shaving cream on a paper plate, and then I used Crumb Cake ink refill randomly dropped in my shaving cream, swirled it with a stick, and laid my Shimmery White cardstock on top of it.  Then I scraped it off with an old spatula and let it dry on a paper towel.  I hadn't done this technique in a while and last time I used Glossy Paper, but Stampin' Up! doesn't carry it anymore.  I cut the cardstock 4" x 4" to add to my Balmy Blue cardstock.  I used this card for my swap this month.  It was such a fun card to make!

Snow Wonder

I'm so glad that the Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper returned from last's year Holiday catalog.
It such a beautiful paper with real wintery scenery.  The snowman in the new Snow Wonder set really adds to this card. I've colored him in Stampin' Blends and then die cut him out with the Snow Time Dies.  Along the edge where it was white, I added Balmy Blue to make him stand out even more.  I can't wait to make some more cards with this gorgeous set.
