Snowman Season & more

Hello and welcome to my little haven, hope you're having a good day!

This card is for one of my Grand Daughters who is very girlie.

All measurements are in centimetres
(cs) = card stock, (r) = retired

Card stock: 3 pieces of Whisper White 21 x 14.5 (card base) scored at 10.5, 10 x 14 (first mat), 8 x 2 (sentiment), Seaside Spray 7 x 3.5 (globe base)
Colours:  Pool Party, Seaside Spray, Smoky Slate, VersaMark
Stampin' Blends: Balmy Blue, Gray Granite, Pumpkin Pie

• Start with the first mat and die cut the dome leaving about 1.5 cm from each side.
• Place the mat on the base card and trace the dome shape onto the card base using a light pencil.
• Now emboss the mat with the the brick & mortar folder then add the ribbon and lay to one side for now.
• Stamp the snowman in memento ink, and the globe using 2nd generation stamping in smoky slate. Then erase the pencil marks.
• Colour the snowman using the stampin' blends. Then sponge lightly with pool party round the globe edges.
• Stamp the globe base pattern on the seaside spray (cs) in versamark and cover it with the silver embossing powder then heat set it.
• Stamp the sentiment in veramark & seaside spray then cover it with clear embossing powder and heat set it. Die cut this with the label from the petals & more dies.
• Remove the backing from the top side of the dome and adhere to the back of the first layer and press down so it is firmly secured.
• Now lay some snowflake sequins and a little stampin' glitter on top of the snow man, remove the second backing from the back of the dome, add some liquid glue around the rest of the first mat and then adhere down onto the card base without moving the card base so the sequins and glitter stay inside the dome area. Once in place secure dome firmly.
• Using liquid glue adhere the globe base to the card, then using dimensional pads add  the sentiment to the bottom.

Will be back again soon with more cards!

Itty Bitty Christmas meets Still Scenes and more

Hi folks, hope you're having a good day!

I just love the new snow globes Stampin' Up! have this year and here's one from me.

To recreate the card, this is what you'll need:
(dsp) = Designer Series Paper, (ep) = embossing powder
(1,2) = Narrow rectangles with 1 being the smallest

Card Stock: Night of Navy 2 pieces 4 x 7 (snow globe base) 2 x 7.5 (sentiment), Seaside Spray 2 pieces 2.5 x 1.2 (church window backing) 3.7 x 1.1 (steeple window backing), Silver Foil 4 pieces 4 x 7 (base scroll) 3 x 8.5 (sentiment backing) 4 x 4 (church base) 2 x 6 (steeple), Whisper White 21 x14.8 scored at 10.5 (card base)
DSP: Feels Like Frost 2 pieces 14.2  x 9.8 (first mat) 9.3 x 8 snowy sky (dome backing)
Dies: Snow Globe Scenes, Stitched Rectangle x 2 (1 & 2) narrow
Stamp Sets: Itty Bitty Christmas, Still Scenes
Accessories: Night of Navy ink, Silver Embossing Powder, Snowflake Sequins, Snow Globe Shaker Domes, VersaMark.

Now with the snowy sky (dsp) and stamping in the middle of the piece of (dsp), stamp the dome refection from the still scenes (ss) using versamark and then heat emboss using the silver (ep).
Next stamp the sentiment from the itty bitty christmas (ss) onto the night of navy (cs) using versamark and heat emboss with the silver (ep).

Die cut the dome shape from the snow globe scenes dies towards the top of the feels like frost (dsp).

Carry out all the rest of the die cutting (church pieces, dome base pieces and sentiment pieces).

Adhere together the 2 pieces for the dome base, and the 2 pieces for the sentiment using liquid glue.

Now trim the 2 pieces of seaside spray (cs) to fit inside the 2 church pieces and adhere them together using liquid glue.

Again with liquid glue adhere the church  to the steeple using the 2 nodules on both the steeple and church for perfect alignment, then again using liquid glue adhere the completed church to the snowy scene background.

Peel off the backing for the top of the snow globe shaker dome, position the  feels like frost (dsp) first mat opening, over the dome and adhere down securely.

Place a spoonful of snowflake sequins over the church scene.

Remove the backing from the back of the snow globe shaker dome and align the dome with the church scene and adhere down, making sure it's secure all the way round.

Adhere the dome base using liquid glue and the sentiment using dimensional pads.

Will be back again soon with more cards!
