Snow is falling


I wanted to put this house into a Snow globe but could not find the stamp; instead I used the Christmas bauble from the Project Club October 2007.

The Christmas bauble was stamped onto a piece of 13.8cmx13.8cm white card using memento Paris dusk, the centre was cut out, colour the leaves and holly in using blue promarkers, silver gems were used for the holly berries, emboss Sizzix 656939 Tim Holts tall pines to each side of the bauble, chalk or distress the pine trees in light blue, with a pencil lightly mark the edge of the bauble onto another piece of 13.8cmx13.8cm white card, using the pencil marks as a guide stamp the house in Paris dusk, colour this with blue promarkers and gel pens, add silver glitter glue to this and the embossed pine trees, when dry glue the bauble onto the house card just on the outer edge, mount this onto a piece of silver holographic card, stamp snow is falling all around us on white card in Paris dusk cut it out and mount onto silver holographic card, onto a piece of 14cmx14cm light blue card stamp the house four times have the card in front of you like a diamond and put one in each corner.

Have a 14.8cmx14.8cm folded white card in front of you with the fold away from you, score from the top left hand corner to the bottom right hand corner of the front of the card, attach the light blue card to the inside of the card which is not scored, fold the front of the card along the scored line to the inside of the card, have the card in front of you with the fold to the left hand side, with strong double sided tape or glue, attach the front of the card to the bottom triangle only to make a twisted easel  card, tape or glue the snow is falling card to the blue to keep it open.   

Black and White Snowflake


With memento black tuxedo stamp the snowflake word stamp onto a piece of 11.5cmx10.3cm white card with a silver pen edge the card, stamp peace in the bottom right hand corner, using the Sizzix 656920 die Tim Holtz on the edge Snow flurries cut the top and bottom of a piece 13.8cmx19.5cm black card, edge the two straight sides with a silver pen. Attach this centrally to an A5 folded white card, in the top left hand corner stamp joy and Noel in the bottom right hand corner, using foam pads or glue attach the white snowflake card to the black card line this using the sides as the black snowflake edge is uneven, fix a silver snowflake to three of the corners leaving out the one with peace in.

Twas the Night before Christmas


Onto a piece of 12.8cmx18.5cm white card emboss the sizzix 656939 Tim Holtz tall pines in the top left hand corner, distress the card with dusty concord (I used a stencil brush to get a softer look), in the top right hand corner stamp the Santa and sleigh in dusty concord, in the bottom centre stamp Twas the Night before Christmas (Christmas words 0301040A) with memento grape jelly, mount this onto purple foil card and attach centrally to an A5 folded white card, stamp the house onto a piece of white card using grape jelly cut this out and distress  with dusty concord, mount this onto purple foil card and cut out, attach with foam pads or glue above Twas the Night before Christmas to the right hand side of the card, add purple glitter glue to the embossed pine trees , windows, doorway and pine trees near the house, in each attach a purple card candi.

Blue Snowflake

Distress the front of a white 14.8cmx14.8cm square card with stormy sky distress ink, using the largest of the three small snowflake stamps, with stormy sky distress ink stamp this around the edges of the card, onto a piece of white card stamp the large snow flake word with memento Paris dusk, cut it out and go around the edge with a blue glitter pen also colour the stars, cut out the large eyelet square from the nestabilities set S4-305 in a dark blue pearl card, attach this like a diamond to the centre of the card using foam pads or glue, fix the snowflake to the blue diamond so that one of the lines of Seasons Greetings lines runs from side to side of the diamond.

Cream Noel

Onto a piece of brown wrapping paper randomly stamp the word snowflake to cover the paper using memento rich cocoa, stamp the house onto a piece of cream card using rich cocoa and cut it out, distress and go around the edge of the house using brushed corduroy distress ink, colour the windows in with a yellow promarker and the trees in a green promarker, now go over the windows with some gold glitter, mount this onto gold card and cut it out.
Cut a piece of cream hammer card 12.8cmx19cm mount this onto gold card, tear a piece of the stamped brown paper to fit this attach to the cream card, secure a piece of red ribbon around the middle of the card, attach this centrally to an A5 folded cream hammer card, using foam pads or glue attach the house over the centre of the red ribbon and stamp Noel in rich cocoa on the brown paper in a space left between the snowflakes.

ATC.

Tear apiece of the remaining stamped brown paper longer than the ATC card, roll the bottom end up so it fits on to the card, using the two small snowflake stamps, with the rich cocoa ink stamp each one onto cream card and cut them out, now cut out another snowflake to match and stamp a snowflake on them, glue a narrow piece of red ribbon to the blank side of one of each size of snowflake and cover with the one to match, put a bit of glue to the inside of the rolled up end of the brown paper, now onto this stamp Noel, Joy and Piece in rich cocoa, attach the ribbon so it hangs over the top of the paper this can now be attached to the ATC card.
