Heart of Christmas Week 13: One of a Kind Shaker card

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Monday evening for the AWHT Heart of Christmas Blog Hop showcasing Stampin’ Up! seasonal products.

Week 13

Today I feature the One of a Kind bundle, a stamp set and coordinating die that is very affordable and under $50!

This shaker card has some heat embossing, ink blending and die cutting. I first stamped all those snowflakes in Versamark ink directly onto the Pool Party card front, added White WOW Emboss Powder, then melted it with the Heat Tool.

Next I added the ink blending using Blending Brushes from the top left corner across to the bottom right corner using Pool Party, Balmy Blue then Misty Moonlight inks. Once done, wipe over it with a tissue to remove the excess ink on the snowflakes. This technique is known as Emboss Resist.

Using the two largest Deckled Rectangle dies place them both onto a piece of Pool Party card and die cut them to create the frame. Add some Window Sheet behind then place some Foam Adhesive Strips all the way around without leaving any gaps. Place some White Loose Snowflakes onto the centre of the card, remove the paper backing from the foam strips and carefully centre it onto the card front. Die cut a snowflake and adhere it to the top corner then cover it and the frame with Wink of Stella.

Can you see that Wink of Stella sparkle on the Pool Party frame and the Large white snowflake?!! The photo doesn’t do it justice.

Finally stamp your sentiment in Misty Moonlight ink onto white card and create the banner ends using your Paper Snips. I added it to the card with Tear & Tape so I didn’t make a mess on the slippery window sheet with glue!

On the inside, a simple stamped sentiment, snowflakes and some ink blending.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Monday for more Christmas inspiration!

Please enjoy the wonderful inspiration of our next team member, Claire Daly.
