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.

BONUS GIFT:

If you can understand French: I joined demonstrators from France and Quebec:  L’Accent Creatif. We’ve created 10 classes for you.  Get these French classes for FREE when you place an order in November for $60 or more.  New ideas every month.  Use November Hostess Code 7HKXXGHK If you are part of my team, you get these monthly tutorials for FREE.

If your list is long, I suggest you get the starter kit.  You can  message me if you have any questions about the starter kit.  Join my team and get to order from the new Annual Catalogue and Mini Catalogue.   Click HERE to get your starter kit.

How amazing to get $165 of products for $135.    You can read all about it HERE.

Have a great day!

Hugs, Kim xo
