Hi Everyone! It's been a while since I've blogged. But I'm hoping to do more in 2023! I was lucky enough to guest design for
Penguin Palace 4th Anniversary New Release! There's lots of cute new stamps, dies, and most importantly new 360 degree stencils!
How To:
First, on 6"x6" white card stock, I used Tumbled Glass distress oxide ink to create a sky background.
Then I positioned the paper into the 360 degree stencil, and then used the snowflake stencil B (the one with a heart in the middle) and Salty Ocean distress oxide ink. The pattern uses 60 degree turns, and you'll only need to stencil the pattern to make a half circle.
Stenciling in the Snowflakes:
Next, prep the paper with anti-static powder. Then use snowflake stencil A and embossing ink and stencil one snowflake. Remove the stencil and sprinkle white embossing powder on the snowflake. Tap off any excess embossing powder, and heat set the embossing powder.
Position the paper and snowflake stencil A and turn forward 60 degrees, stencil with embossing ink. Then carefully position the stencil back over the white snowflake and turn the back 60 degrees. Remove the stencil and paper, sprinkle silver embossing powder over the stenciled snowflakes. Tap off any excess embossing powder, and heat set the embossing powder.
Die cuts:
Die cut the white card stock with the stenciled snowflakes using a stitched rectangle die.
Using a white glitter card stock, die cut with the same stitched rectangle die that was previously used. You only need a partial rectangle that is about 2-3" tall, die cut the unstitched end of the triangle using a snowbanks or hills border die.
Using a metallic blue card stock, die cut with the same stitched rectangle that was previously used, again you only need a partial rectangle that's about 2" tall. Die cut the unstitched end using a lake die, making sure the die cut is shorter than the snowbanks.
Using dark teal card stock, die cut a scalloped rectangle and a sentiment label. On the sentiment label, stamp the sentiment "Cheers To A Joyful Season" using embossing ink. Sprinkle white embossing powder onto the sentiment and tap off any excess powder. Heat set the embossing powder. (If you prefer to stamp and emboss first, and then die cut please do so! :) )
Stamp, Color, and Fussy Cut:
Stamp out the ice skater and two sets of trees onto white card stock.
Color with Copic colors listed below or your choice of coloring medium.
Putting it all Together:
Adhere the scalloped rectangle onto an A2 card base.
Then adhere the stitched rectangle with the stenciled snowflakes onto the scalloped rectangles.
Next, adhere the snow banks die cut onto the card front, then adhere the lake to the card front.
Adhere the ice skater using foam tape. Then adhere the trees on each side of the ice skater. Adhere the sentiment on the top center of the card front.
Lastly, embellish the card with some glitter enamel dots to add some extra magic!
