Happy DieCember!

Don’t miss my special post about Giving Tuesday

Happy DieCember everyone! Simon Says Stamp has a ton of fun products they are releasing today all focused around stand-alone dies, and I have a few cards to inspire you!

Snowflake Frame

Hello, I’m Jenn Shurkus and I am obsessed with snowflakes. Just not the kind where you feel the cold 😉 The cute kind… on a card for example.

I started by die-cutting the new Snowflake Frame die out of Distress Watercolor Cardstock. I then watercolored the background with Distress Inks (Peacock Feathers, Rustic Wilderness, Wilted Violet, and Faded Jeans).

I dried it with a heat tool and dusted it very well with the powder tool, then white embossed the sentiment from the recently released Joyful Season stamp set.

I added this panel to a card base with 3M foam tape, then for a little sparkle I added some iridescent sequins.

For the second card, I watercolored patches of color on another piece of Distress Watercolor cardstock with the same Distress colors. I then diecut the individual snowflake dies that come with the Snowflake Frame die.

I die-cut the same snowflakes out of some gold sparkle cardstock. I then cut out a stitched rectangle and gold embossed another sentiment from the Joyful Season stamp set. I added the stitched rectangle to a card base with 3M foam tape, and then sprinkled the snowflakes here and there. Some of them tucked under the rectangle and some on top. A simple card, with a lot of white space but I really like how it turned out.
