Snow Globes and Still Scenes

Everyone loves a Snow Globe and Stampin Up ® 2019 Holiday Catalogue has all the parts to make a beautiful card complete with a unique Snow Globe. In my class last week we made 5 very different versions.

Using the Still Scenes Stamp Set, the Snow Globe Shaker Dome, Snowflake Sequins and Snow Globe Scene Dies, we created this beautiful cottage-in-the-snow above, and added the woodland embossing folder for further background effect.   

The Feels Like Frost DSP, provided the striking colour combination for the card above.  We die cut the snow globe base from Highland Heather and overlaid it with Silver Foil, to create an ornate base.

The cards above and below used Night of Navy contrasting with Whisper White and accented with Copper Foil to create these two striking cards, which included a copper embossed sentiment.  The church and reindeer are die cut from the Snow Globe Scenes dies.

The last card we made was a bit of fun, with an Australian theme of Santa at the beach, and using sand instead of snow...just to show you that a snow globe doesn't HAVE to have snow.

Blends Club Round 2 Part 3

Class number 3 in my Blends Club started with shading and moved to a water-washed effect using Stampin Up ® Blends.

This beautiful elephant from the Wildly Happy stamp set, was coloured using the Gray Granite Blends on a Whisper White panel cut with the Stitched Nested label.  We used Gray Granite cardstock base and a layer embossed with the Subtle embossing folder. To break up the gray and add a little interest we added a small piece of vellum in behind the Whisper White layer.

The second card featured an amazing technique by Rochelle Blok, one of the Stampin' up! Artisans. We coloured a piece of acetate with an assortment of brightly coloured Stampin' Blends, and spritzed it with rubbing alcohol.  We then sat a piece of white gloss card face down on the coloured acetate. It picks up the colours and dries quickly.  No two were alike and they created the perfect background for the butterfly silhouette from the Butterfly Beauty dies.

This last card was 'homework' - a project everyone took home to colour.   The beautiful bauble and DSP comes from the Brightly Gleaming Bundle in the Holiday Catalogue.   I've used Night of Navy Blends to colour the bauble.

This was the last of my Blends Club for this round.  The best way to master Blends is to practice, practice, PRACTICE!!
