Stampin’ Up! Christmas Card Idea #4-Snow Swirled

Posted on October 6, 2008October 5, 2008 by Josee

This is one of my absolutely most favourite cards in the world!!!! lol. I got the idea from a Founder’s Circle Swap made by Cheryl Flynn. I first demo’d it at my workshop last week and I think 3 of the ladies ended up getting the Snow Swirled stamp set because of it.

VERSION #1

Here’s a closeup of the card:

Big Shot Layaway Club

Posted on October 5, 2008 by Josee

SU! has partnered with Sizzix and designed the exclusive BIG SHOT die cut machine. Even if you already own a die cut machine, this one will do so much more! All of your other dies and embossers will work in the Big Shot. Stampin’ Up! has started with 10 exclusive dies as well as has 30 of Sizzix most popular dies. This machine is built to cut and emboss over 50 types of material. You’ll find this machine is superior to all the others on the market and the only one you need!

Why a layaway club? How many times have you purchased a new tool only to have it sit around because you are uncertain about using it. I will train you for 4 months on the uses of your Big Shot if you purchase it from me! At each of the club meetings, we will make 3-4 projects using the Big Shot, so you will get hands on training. If you’re not local, I will send you a CLASS BY EMAIL with the projects for each for 4 months.

When: One Thurs. per month
Oct. 16, Nov 6, Dec 4, Jan 8

Where: Josee’s Studio (Kanata, ON)

Time: 7:00 pm
Cost below includes tax and shipping

Out-of Town Option: Can’t attend, but, still want the ideas & the Big Shot? I’ll send you the projects in an EMAIL CLASS for each of the 4 months! Valid anywhere in Canada-same great price.

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Card Idea #3 -Sparkly Snow Swirled

Posted on October 5, 2008October 3, 2008 by Josee

Here’s one of the cards we made at my Christmas Card Extravaganza last week! This was one of the favourites by far! Unfortunetely, the picture doesn’t do it justice at all…I wish it would have shown you how "SPARKLY" it is in person. I used Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder on the snowflakes…and the glitter just adds such a SPARKLE! (I found a version of the card online and CASED it, but, can’t remember from where. If this is your card, please let me know and I’ll gladly give you credit)

Looking for some directions to make this card?

Instructions

Fold your pink pirouette cardstock in half with bone folder to create the base of your card. Stamp “Season’s Greetings” with Silver Encore ink in the lower right corner. Set aside to dry.
Tear your second piece of Pink Pirouette cardstock about one inch off from the bottom (as seen in picture). This is the front layer of your card.
Stamp the Snowflakes with Versamark ink on the layer of Pink Pirouette cardstock. Cover with Iridescent Ice Embossing powder, tap off excess and with heating tool emboss the snowflakes. (Tip: Look for the glitter to melt into the paper)
Take the Dauber to apply White ink around the edges of the “layer” of Pink Pirouette cardstock. Use a flicking motion on all 4 edges.
Wrap one piece of Pink Pirouette ribbon around layer and adhere to back. Tie your second piece of ribbon in a knot around the first ribbon.

6. Adhere the layer to the base of the card with the torn side at the bottom as shown in the picture.

Here are the supplies to make this card:

Item Code	Description	Price	Pg. #
111690	Snow Swirled Stamp set	$29.95	32
111838	Pink Pirouette Cardstock	$6.50 (24 sheets)	165

102283	Versamark Ink Pad	$9.50	193
