None Traditional Colors For A Holiday Card

in Cardmaking, Techniques on 11/09/22

Hello Crafters, Bonjour!

When I first saw the beautiful Sweet Gingerbread Bundle in the Holiday Catalogue, I immediately thought of none traditional colors for a holiday card.  I wanted to create a card with pastel colors.  It reminded me of a gingerbread house full of pastel candies.  I added so many layers to this card and was happy with the end results.  What was even better, Stampin’up! created this collection in French as well, Lot Sucrement Votre.  You can view in details both collections at the end of this post.

The Snowfall Accents Puff Paint is the perfect product to create fake snow for the roof of my Gingerbread House.

A Tube of Snowfall Accents Puff Paint goes a long way.

There are 3 simple steps on how to use the Snowfall Accents Puff Paint: 

  • Apple the Snowfall Accents Puff Paint to your crafting project
  • Use the Heat tool to dry the Snowfall Accents Puff Paint
  • Admire your fake snow in a matter of seconds

Voila!

My color combination:

Petal Pink
Crumb Cake
Basic White
Pear Pizzazz
Soft Sea Foam

 

For my October Tutorial for L’accent créatif, I made a 3 D Gingerbread house for the inside of my card.  As soon as you opened the card, the Gingerbread House would pop up.

I hope you loved my card today.  Give the snowfall accent puff paint a try. It is really fun.  I would also be great to use on a stamp beer image or even root beer mug.

Special Exclusive Offer from me:  Place a 60$ or more order with me in the month of November using the Hostess Code7HKXXGHK and receive  FREE embellishment.  Place an order of $120 and receive an additional gift for FREE, an embossing folder.

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!
