Send merry and bright holiday wishes with the new Cordial Snowman and Drifting Snowflakes. Multiple layers - and glittery diecuts - add dimension and sparkle to white-on-white. Hi, Jean here with a frosty winter design from our 2024 Yuletide Collection.
Before we start the card... special Congratulations to Shari Acuff and her new online shop - sharinCRAFTERstudio! Shari was a team leader at the Impress stores. She inspired - and Impress-ed - everyone with her ideas, creativity and knowledge. We wish you the very best Shari!
Cut the new Cordial Snowman shapes from watercolor paper, pale gray cardstock and medium gray cardstock. Color the light gray diecut with a black marker where the eyes will appear.
Cut the arms/nose/hat pompom from watercolor paper. Color the diecuts with brown, orange and red markers.
Attach adhesive label paper (or a sticker sheet) behind red felt and cut the hat and scarf sections. The paper backing stabilizes the felt and prevents adhesives from saturating it. Cut the hat and scarf sections from the bright red Festive Glitter Pad 6x6. Cutting all of the pieces saves time - and you'll have the extras ready for another project.
Attach the twiggy arms behind the top layer. Attach the gray layers - slightly offset on the right side too.
Cut the Drifting Snowflakes background from the pale bluish-white Delicate Pastels Glitter Pad 6x6. Cut the detailed overlay from white cardstock. Attaching a delicate diecut to a glittered surface can be challenging. I spread a thin layer of Tacky Glue on an old credit card and tapped sections of the diecut into the glue and pressed it onto the glittered background.
Stamp the greeting - from the new Holiday Wishes Clear Stamp and Die Set - on white cardstock with Satin Red VersaFine. Quickly heat-emboss it with detail clear powder. Cut the cooled greeting with the second-smallest Nested Globes die. Cut a second globe and layer it for dimension.
Cut two pieces of white cardstock with the 3" wide Nested Globes die. Layer them for dimension. Round the corners of the layered globes.
Attach the diecuts to a top-folded white A2 card - use foam dots for the top of the snowman and right edge of the greeting. Add orange Bright Jewels. Cut an A2-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.
This card may require extra postage and special handling depending upon the weight of your cardstock and felt.
Thanks for visiting...see you on Friday!
