Snowmie Holiday Cards | Tonic Studios Stamp Club Release Hop

Hello Friends, and Happy Friday! 

It is time for another Tonic Stamp Club Release Blog Hop and this time is all about the cutest Snowmies!!! Perfect for the upcoming winter and Holiday Season!

If you have already joined the hop you should have arrived from Iliana's Blog.  I will link the complete hop list and giveaway details near the end of this post. I have 3 projects to share today so let's get started.

Here is a closer look at this month's Snowmie Stamp and Die Bundle. Plus this month you get a FREE coordinating Snowmie Stencil with your purchase!

Both my cards today are Mini Slimline sized 3x6 inches. This first one features the adorable Rainbow-inspired Snowmie Family sending warm Holiday Wishes.

To make this card I began by stamping out the images, coloring them in with Copic markers, and then die-cutting them out with the coordinating dies. The rainbow dotted tree was inspired by my friend Bobbi, who is an amazing colorist and I thought this was a fun and unique way to add color to the tree. 

I then blended onto a mini slimline panel Broken China, Mermaid Lagoon, and Prize Ribbon Distress Oxide Inks and then spritzed the background with water and picked up the droplets with a paper towel to lift some of the ink. This just adds to the snowy effect. 

Another thing I did was to create a Snow Bokeh stencil by using 3 circle dies from the Slimline Envelope Creator Die Set, and blended white pigment ink over the top part of the panel. Slightly overlapping the circles to create the bokeh effect. Look closely at the sky part for them they are faint but there for extra detail. 

To the background, I applied a layer of falling snow using Worn Linen Expanding Mousse.

The sentiment was stamped in white pigment ink and embossed in white onto black cardstock. Then the rest was to glue all the elements in place. The snowflakes come from the die set. The really fun thing about these die sets is that they come with so many extra dies to stretch out the possibilities!

My favorite part of carmaking is adding embellishments and finishing details. The crystals on the snowflake centers, the white gel pen details, the glossy accents on the nose and buttons, and the chunky glitter on the tree along the bottom of the card. Yes adding these take a little more time but they are what makes your card stand out!

I am in love with this next rainbow-inspired cutie! What is it about rainbows that just make you happy?! I can't explain it but whatever it is I know it is why I do it! Rainbows bring me joy and it is why it is my favorite color!

This next mini slimline was done exactly the same as the previous card only in a vertical layout. Obviously, the images are different but the techniques were the same. To this sky, I added Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide ink along the top and I left the bottom white to give it the snow illusion. 

 

This time, rather than using snowflake die-cuts I stamped them in white onto the background. 

The bottom sentiment snow hill panel I added was a happy mistake. I actually stamped a different sentiment underneath on the card panel which wasn't the stamp I had wanted to use. So to cover it up I created a hill for the sled to sit on and added the new sentiment instead.  

Did you notice the mini slimline envelope I placed under each of the cards? They come with the two pierced plate designs and fit these cards perfectly as they measure 3.5x6.5 inches. These envelopes are part of the new also just released Slimline Envelope Creator Die Set. They also come with a bunch of tag builder dies. So I thought it would be fun to make a bunch of Christmas rainbow gift tags. 

If you look closely each tag was either finished using the coordinating Snowmie Stencil or I used the pierced plates from the Slimline Envelope Creator Die Set to add details. I also added the For You and the snowflakes that were die cut using holographic cardstock. Under each colored tag is another white tag with a pierced edging so that you can write who the gift is for.

Joyful Christmas in July Cards and Tags | Waffle Flower

Hello Friends!

If you have been following me on Instagram you may have already seen most of these projects. I am thrilled to be joining my friends at Waffle Flower to celebrate their Christmas in July Release this month.

So here is a recap of the projects I have shared. Check out the links below for the supplies used.

With this first shaker card, I was able to create two projects from one background. I first blended out the rainbow stripes using the HOLIDAY STRIPES STENCIL with Atelier Inks and then added the snowflakes using the SNOWFLAKE Background Stencil and Glimmer Glitz gel. 

Once the background was dry, I used one of the tags from the NESTING TAGS Dies, to die cut the window for the shaker and then used plastic packaging to create the flat shaker window onto the card base using double-sided tape, no foam. 

For my next project, I used the cutout piece from the card to create a coordinating flat frameless shaker tag. To do this, simply create a pocket around the front of the tag. Fold back and secure the plastic cut pieces that hang over the edge of the tag to the backside, leaving an opening to fill with shaker bits. Then seal the last flat in place. If you like visuals, check out my IG Reel to see these come together.

I added a stamp from the CHRISTMAS TAG ELEMENTS and the sentiments from the OVERSIZED JOY Clear Stamps.

To create the seamless flat shaker, I glued another tag that I stamped the to and from from the same set. Add an eyelet to the top of the tag to seal the shaker bits in the tag and embellish the top with a bell or however you like.

This next flat frameless shaker tag was done the same way using the largest die from the NESTING TAGS Dies and using the OVERSIZED JOY Word Dies. For this tag, I used white embossing paste first on holographic rainbow cardstock using the SNOWFLAKE Background Stencil.

Once again I stamped the same sentiments on the backside from the CHRISTMAS TAG ELEMENTS.

I had so much fun creating these tags that I had to make more. This time I used Glitz Gel on the Holographic Rainbow cardstock with the SNOWFLAKE Background Stencil.

This final Joy to the world card was created by ink blending the rainbow trees on the background using the DUO TONE CHRISTMAS TREE Stencil. I then repositioned the stencil to add the glitter trees.

Want to see how these came together check out my IG Reel below.

I love this OVERSIZED JOY Word Die. It is large enough to be the center of attention on this card front, especially when it's done in glitter paper.

I hope you were inspired by my Christmas Creations today! I am so happy I have some Christmas projects all ready to go for Christmas as I feel like I never have enough when Christmas time comes around and before you know it it will be here!

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
