Snowflake Blizzard

My last card of 2022 is for the Gina K. Designs Monthly Mix Challenge - Let it Snow. It's hard to believe that we are at the end of another year!

I stamped the snowflakes, from the Gina K. Designs Sparkling Snowflake and Seasonal Sentiments stamp sets, with VersaMark ink, and heat embossed them with white embossing powder. Then I blended Gina K. ink over the background, using Blue Raspberry, Medium Lilac, and Medium Orchid. I received the new Lilac and Orchid sets of ink for Christmas, and this was the first time I tried them. I love the Medium Orchid colour - it's so pretty and vibrant! I adhered the front panel to a black panel, and then onto a white card base.

For the sentiment, which came from the Sparkling Snowflake set, I heat embossed it on a piece of black cardstock, and then cut it out with a die from Gina's Master Layouts 3. It was a square die, but I cut it twice, lining up the stitches on the side, to make it a rectangle. I attached this to the card with some foam tape.

I wish everyone a happy and healthy 2023!

Snowflakes

 I created a card for the Gina K. Designs Monthly Mix challenge - Let it Snow.

I blended Gina K. Designs (GKD) Blue Lagoon, Blue Raspberry and Blue Denim ink on a piece of white cardstock. Once that was completely dry, I stamped the snowflakes, from the GKD Sparkling Snowflake stamp set, with VersaMark ink and heat embossed them with white embossing powder.

I used the coordinating dies to cut out the tops of the snowflakes, and used a craft knife to cut a straight line in between the snowflakes. 

I stamped and embossed the sentiment, from the GKD Playful Penguins stamp set, and attached the panel to a small white card base, letting the tops of the snowflakes poke above the card base.

December Scor-Pal More Than One Score Challenge

Here we are at the last Scor-Pal More Than One Score challenge for 2022! 

Each month will now have an "Anything Goes" theme and you will have a month to create and enter your projects. You will need to make "More Than One Score" and tell us where you used the Scor-Pal on your project. So a single fold card won't count but an Easel, Gatefold, Stair Step, etc will :) Also we love to see your "Anything But a Card" projects, just as long as you make "More Than One Score".

Here is my project for this month.

I was watching a YouTube video by The Bearded Housewife, who works with a lot of Cricut files. I don't have a Cricut, but I have a Silhouette Cameo, which uses the same type of files. This card was in his library and looked so pretty that I had to try it.

To make this card you will need:

The cut file - https://thebeardedhousewife.com/how-to-make-a-christmas-concertina-card/  Go to this             page, and sign up for his newsletter. You will receive a code to get into his library.

Electronic cutting machine (Silhouette, Cricut, Scan N Cut)

White cardstock

Blue cardstock (I used navy)

Scor-Pal

Scor-Tape

The Stacker

When you go to the website above, he gives a detailed tutorial on how to make the card. I'll give a shortened version.

I uploaded the cut file into Silhouette Studio and separated the layers. I took out the fold lines, as I used my Scor-Pal for scoring. I cut out each layer, and scored the fold lines. I ended up with these pieces.

I taped the two front layers together.

Then, I attached the background layers together, and added them to the base layer.

For the envelope, I attached the blue triangular piece to the flap with the cutouts and added tape to make the envelope.

I think this makes a lovely card for a special person! 

I hope you can join the challenge. You have until the end of the month, and you could win a gift certificate to the Scor-Pal store.
