First Frost - Freshly Made Sketches Challenge

Today’s card is inspired by another card challenge - Freshly Made Sketches #372.


I was excited to break out the First Frost stamp set and co-ordinating dies for this one. I had purchased them before Xmas and have only just gotten around to using them. It is a beautiful stamp set and one of my faves as I love florals.   


The Frosted Floral designer series paper co-ordinates beautifully, the patterns are so colourful and printed on shiny matte paper. 

Other supplies that I used are: 
Card stock - Tranquil Tide, Whisper White and Pear Pizzazz
 Ink - Blackberry Bliss, Blushing Bride and Pear Pizazz. 
Share What You Love Artisan Pearls in Tranquil Tide.
I added some texture to my card base and front panel with the Subtle Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder, and dimension with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The fine tip glue pen was perfect for adhering the fine die cut branches on to the card base. 


Purchasing the First Frost stamp set and co-ordinating dies together earns you one FREE product of your choice from the Sale-a-Bration brochure, such a great offer to help you build up your Stampin' Up! supplies.

Snow globe shaker card featuring new holiday products!

Not long to go until the new Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalogue 2019-2020 is released. One of the perks of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is I am able to pre-order new product before they are available to order. I couldn't wait to make this shaker card featuring the new Still Scenes bundle and coordinating products. At first I was trying to imagine how to line everything up so that the snow globe shaker dome fit in the die cut aperture, but once I began to work on the project it was a fairly easy process. Product List Whisper White A4 Card Stock [ 106549 ] Night Of Navy A4 Card Stock [ 106577 ] Card Stock A4 Smoky Slate [ 131291 ] Night Of Navy/Sahara Sand Baker's Twine [ 149483 ] Snow Globe Shaker Dome [ 150442 ] Ice Stampin' Glitter [ 150445 ] Snowflake Sequins [ 150443 ] Night Of Navy Classic Stampin' Pad [ 147110 ] Silvery Shimmer Delicat
