Easy Snowflake Card Tutorial Using Notebook Diecut

December 10, 2024

Hi everyone! I’m back today with another quick and easy card. I used a few leftover pieces from past projects and the Notebook Diecut to create this. Anyways, let’s get started!

I cut the card out of the Notebook Diecut. I folded in half to create the card base.

These are the pieces I had leftovers. The seal is from the Seal Switchlits Embossing Folder and Thinlits. The snowflake is from the Snowflake Impresslits (retired). And the circle is from the Bookmark, Pocket and Toppers Thinlits. I lightly inked the seal with a chalk ink and adhered each piece on top of each other.

I glued the seal to the base of the card and added a pearl to the center of the snowflake. I added an Adhesive Sheet to the back of a piece of white cardstock.

I placed “warm” and “wishes” thinlits, from the Starlit Village Thinlits (retired) on top of the cardstock. I ran through the Diecut Machine. I removed the backing from the Adhesive Sheet and placed the sentiment onto the card to finish. This card came together so quickly!

Happy Holidays Snowflake Mini Slimline Card

December 5, 2023

Hi everyone! I’m back with a very quick card I created. I was in the “moment” of making this card that I completely forgot to take any step out photos of the process. This card centers on a leftover “Happy Holidays” sentiment from my Holiday Snowman Mini Slimline Card I posted about a few days ago. Anyways, let’s get started!

First, I folded a piece of 6″x6″ snowflake patterned cardstock in half to create the base of the card. I cut the “Happy Holidays” sentiment down and inked the edges with a chalk ink. Also the sentiment is from my Sparkle Snowman Stamp Set which can be found at Blank Page Muse.

Second, I cut two labels and two snowflakes from the Everyday Tags and Labels Thinlits. I embossed the smaller label with the Tablecloth Embossing Folder, lightly inked with a chalk ink before gluing with the sentiment on top of the larger labels.

Third, I glued the first snowflake die to the corner of the label. The second snowflake I added a Foam Pop Dot to the back before placing on top of the other snowflake. I finished by adding a flat back pearl to the center of the snowflake and a couple of sequins to the card base.

Holiday Snowman Mini Slimline Card

December 2, 2023

Hi everyone! I’m back with a mini slimline card I created using my very own Sparkles Snowman Stamp Set which can be found over at Blank Page Muse. A mini slimline card measures 3 1/4″x6 1/4″ but I have always used a 6″x6″ piece of folded cardstock to create a 3″x6″ card base. This is a lot easier and you can get four cards out of one sheet of 12″x12″ cardstock or you can use a 6″x6″ pack of cardstock like I did. Anyways, let’s get started!

First, I placed the snowman image onto the MISTI Stamping Tool, inked with water proof Black Ink and stamped onto a piece of Watercolor Paper.

Second, I used an assortment of watercolors, inks, pastels and colored pencils to fill in the face of the snowman and once dry I cut out. I added a white diamond dot to each eye.

Third, I folded a piece of cardstock in half from the Cyan Consortium Paper Pack and cut another piece down as a mat for the snowman.

Fourth, I placed the “Happy Holiday” sentiment onto the MISTI Stamping Tool, inked with Black Ink and stamped onto a piece of watercolor paper.

I also cut a piece of the blue cardstock that I matted the snowman image to mat the sentiment and placed Foam Pop Dots on the back before placing slightly off the upper edge of the card.

I added snowflake dies, with a sequin and a gem to each, to the sentiment and face of the snowman. I finished by placing clear sequins in random spots on the card.

I’ll be creating more projects with this stamp set so be sure to come back.
