Artisan Design Team Snowflakes Blog Hop 2

in Artisan Design Team 2018, Cardmaking, Creativity on 11/01/18

 

Finally, the time has come for you my Stampin’up! Customers!  This exclusive Festive Snowflake Showcase is available for customers from November 1st to the 3oth, while supplies last.  Did you see the Artisan Design Team’s first hop?  It was beyond amazing.  There were so many different ideas!  We’ve decided to take this collection on another hop around the globe.  You may have just arrived here from my wonderful and talented friend Kayla MacAulay from Australia. I adore the colour combination she used for today’s Hop!  Adding basic black makes her cards stand out.

On my last Snowflake Showcase Hop, I focussed on the Snow is Glistening Stamp Set and created a snowy wonderland. On this hop I’m featuring the Happiness Surrounds Stamp Set with the coordinating Snowfall Dies.

Card #1: for the avid stamper

I featured the Happiness Surrounds Stamp Set and the coordinating Snowfall Dies.

  • Combine Shimmery White, Petal Pink Cardstocks and the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper
  • Stamp with Flirty Flamingo and Petal Pink Ink onto the Petal Pink Cardstock with images from the Happiness Surrounds Stamp Set
  • Make a bow with Linen Thread to coordinate with the dsp
  • Add a little piece of wood texture  dsp and Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon to create a border
  • Fussy cut one of the greetings from the Happiness Surrounds Stamp Set in Flirty Flamingo Ink
  • Use the Snow Fall Dies to add extra embellishments in coordinating cardstock
  • Don’t forget to add extra embellishments to decorate your card like the Frosted Epoxy & Clear Droplets

I love the look of this card.  This is definitely a sample card that can be used all year long and not only for the Holidays.

Card #2:  for the beginner stamper

I featured the Happiness Stamp Set on it’s own.

  • Combine Shimmery White and  Petal Pink Cardstocks
  • Stamp images from the Happiness Surrounds Stamp Set onto Shimmery Cardstock using Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo, Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay ink
  • Add a little piece of wood textures dsp, Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon and Calypso Coral Ombre Ribbon and a stamped image from the Happiness Surrounds Stamp Set to create a border
  • Heat emboss a greeting with White Embossing Powder using a greeting from the Happiness Surrounds Stamp Set
  • Make a bow with Linen Thread to coordinate with the dsp
  • Embellish with Iridescent Sequins

This card design is easy for creating multiples in a wink of time.

With two stamp sets, Snow is Glistening and Happiness Surrounds, White Velveteen Paper, Snowflake Trinkets, and the coordinating Snowfall Dies, you will create gorgeous snowy projects but also projects that you can use all year long, the only limit is your creativity! The Snowflake Showcase collection is so versatile!

The Snowflake Showcase is available in French, Bonheur Tout Autour and Neige Scintillante.  Therefore, my French customers can recreate this look too.

Grab a hot coco with fluffy marshmallows and continue our hop and you will want to get the exclusive Snowflake  Showcase Products Collection before it’s gone for good. There are so many ideas!

Next on the hop is my sweet friend Lauren Alarid from the United States.  I love her cards for today’s hop! Click on the Blog Badge below to get to her blog.

Papercrafting is about preserving memories. I want Papercrafting is about preserving memories. I wanted to make my own DIY frame for a memory keeping of our trip to Banff Alberta! I designed my frame using the Country Woods Designer Series Paper and used @stampinupofficial ‘s Scenic Adventure Bundle and Weekend Adventures collection to embellish. I also made coordinating Polaroid note cards. 

I’m obsessed at making these little Polaroid note cards and will add a couple more to my collection.

A huge thank you to the Stampin’ Through the Cat A huge thank you to the Stampin’ Through the Catalog design team for inviting me to be one of this month’s guest designers! I was truly honored! 

I made a card using Stampin’ Up!’s Good Times Mix & Match Ephemera Pack and paired it with the Extraordinary Flora Bundle and its coordinating Washi Tape.

I went with a fresh, summery palette of Darling Duckling, Flirty Flamingo, Strawberry Slush, and Old Olive. 

Did you know @stampinupofficial is having a  Creative Challenge this month with fresh In Colors to mix with your go-to classics?  Well my card meets the challenge… 💛

What did I use to make this card?

Full details are provided on @stampinthroughthecatalog as well as how Melody, Cindy & Kaitlyn cased some elements and made their own card designs. I love how they explained in details what element inspired them from my card. Go check it out!
