This was a fairly easy card to make. I started with a piece of blue cardstock from my scrap pile, stamped the snowflakes with VersaMark ink and embossed them in white. I stamped the sentiment on some white cardstock and rounded the corners. I stamped the snowflake in blue, embossed it in clear and cut it out with the coordinating die. After attaching the snowflake layer to a white card base, I popped up the sentiment with foam squares and added the die cut snowflake. Here are the supplies I used: Gina K. Designs: Sparkling Snowflake stamp set and coordinating die Blue Denim ink VersaMark ink blue, white cardstock; clear, white embossing powder; corner rounder; foam squares from my stash
I had so much fun making the last card that I decided to make another one using the grid technique. I have a friend who has a birthday coming up, so I made this card for her. I am entering it in the Mod Squad Challenge - Modern Grid.
I started by stamping the flower and then drew the grid lines. I coloured the flower and a few of the squares. Then I stamped the small flowers in a few squares and stamped the sentiment near the bottom. I matted the layer with black and added it to a white card base. I used these supplies: Gina K. Designs: Especially for You, Happy Birthday to You, Where Flowers Bloom stamp sets Amalgam, Bubblegum Pink, Dusty Rose, Innocent Pink ink Spectrum Noir: Ultra Smooth Premium White cardstock Alcohol Markers: PV1, PV2, PV3, PV4, CT4, MG3, PP1, AP1, BP1 American Craft precision pen 01 Black black cardstock from my stash
I stamped the snowflake and embossed it with a sparkly embossing powder. I decided to make my grid lines on a slant. I hope that's allowed! Once they were all drawn, I stamped a few small snowflakes in different colours of blue ink and attached the panel to a blue card base. I stamped the sentiment and matted it with blue cardstock before popping it up with some foam squares. I used the following supplies: Gina K. Designs: Sparkling Snowflakes, Seasonal Sentiments, Christmas Joy stamp sets Blue Denim, Powder Blue, Ocean Mist ink White, Blue Denim cardstock Blue Staedtler triplus fineliner marker sparkly embossing powder, foam squares from my stash
I decided to do a fairly simple design and dress it up with embossing. I used three different colours of embossing powder and mixed two of them together to give me the colour I wanted. After stamping a poinsettia with VersaMark ink, I spooned one colour on every second petal, one at a time, dumping the excess off each one, before moving on to the next. Then I covered the whole flower with the mixed colour and heated it. I repeated the process until the whole piece was covered. I then matted it with red before attaching it to a white card base. I stamped the sentiment on a small piece of white cardstock and popped it up with a piece of foam tape. I used the following supplies: Gina K. Designs: Merry & Bright Stamp set Cherry Red ink Red Velvet cardstock VersaMark ink white cardstock, embossing powder, foam tape from my stash
