Easy Ombre Card with Beautiful Blizzard by SU!

Hi there!
I have a card from class to share with you today that I totally love!
Plus, this was a super easy card to make! Winning :-)

I used Night Of Navy ink at the top and built up the colour using a sponge brayer on white shimmer card before adding Tranquil Tide at the bottom to create the ombre effect. Then we dropped water onto the inked piece and dabbed it away before adding a sprinkle of shimmer paint onto the coloured card layer.

I adore the impact these two colours make together and even though they are not necessarily traditional Christmas colours I think with the gold snowflakes they work well...

Top with some gold glitter snowflakes and a sentiment and that's it!

This card was really popular at class and my ladies were all surprised how easy it was to make.
I plan on recreating this card with a spring feel to it, what do you think?
Anyway, that's all from me for today, I'll be back soon with more Christmas creations.
'Till then, happy stampin'

Beautiful Blizzard for an Inspire. Create Challenge Sketch

Hello!
And welcome to this weeks Inspire.Create challenge. This week it's my favourite kind of challenge, a fabulous sketch, let's see...

I was looking at the background splodge shape in the Beautiful Blizzard stamp set and I realised it would work as a heart shape for this sketch if I stamped it twice!

I then overstamped the heart with a layer of snowflakes in night of navy before adding a heat embossed sentiment.
TIP: Try to use an embossing buddy before heat embossing, it really does stop the bits from sticking where they aren't supposed to!

Layer the image at the sides, keeping it the same height as the card (as per the sketch) and finish with a few rhinestones.

So, that's my attempt at this weeks sketch! Why not join in the fun? It's great for kick starting your mojo! For much more inspiration head over to the Challenge Blog HERE and see what the rest of the DT have made :-)
Thanks so much for looking today!

CAS Christmas Card using Stampin Up's Holly Jolly stamps and Gold Glitter!

Hello there,
So, I'm back today with another CAS card for you using the fab Holly Jolly stamp set again. This fab set can be purchase as a bundle for an extra 15% off with the gorgeous matching dies (not used here but I have used them a ton this Christmas! You can see many more ideas with this bundle HERE) but the stamps on their own are just great and only £18.00 in clear mount.
 This time I used the giant snowflake and some of the words in this fab set to make this card in Gold and Cherry Cobbler giving it a totally different look to the card I shared with you last FRIDAY...

 To make this glittery snowflake I stamped the snowflake using Versamark, sprinkled it with Heat and Stick powder and melting. Cover the melted powder in gold glitter and tap off excess before giving it a last little blast with the heat gun, just to set the glitter!
TIP: Use your embossing buddy for this card, it not only stops the heat and stick powder sticking where you don't want it but a lot of the glitter too!
Hopefully that makes sense but if you want me to do a little video please let me know :-)

 These sentiments are in the set too, I simply stamped them on spare white card, trimmed then inked the edges with a matching marker.
There's a VIDEO HERE sharing how to do this :-)

 I added dimensionals under "Jollly" and glued the rest flat for this CAS look.

 And one more photo to finish this evening :-)

Thanks for looking this evening.
I've closed this months online order code now, thanks to everyone for your support.
I'll be back tomorrow with a new code for December and a new Video Tutorial too so do pop back then ;-)
