Sleigh Ride Project No. 2 & Video No. 100

Uncategorized

16 Sep

Hello, Crafters.

I’ve just posted my latest video – this is the link: Snowman Scene Curvy Keepsake Box. 

This is extra-special because it’s my 100th video!

When I was preparing for this video I made a mistake!

I’d applied glue using my two-way glue pen and picked up the box I thought contained my Dazzling Diamonds Glitter!

Unfortunately, it was White Embossing Powder!

I heat set it as normal and on Monday I shared a photograph of it here on my blog and on my Facebook page (www.facebook.com/JanBCards).

While I just see a mistake when I look at it, my friend Lori in the US said it looks like snow!

Thanks, Lori- that’s a brilliant idea!

I used this new “technique” – LOL – in yesterday’s challenge card.

I’ve used two different methods – see which one you think looks best, or maybe you don’t like either?

Feedback, as always, is very welcome.

I saw the idea for the bauble on Pinterest and thought it would be a great opportunity to try out this snow effect.

The card with the bow at the top of the thread is the first card I made, photographs 1 – 3.

I started with a base of Basic Black Card Stock.

I stamped the sentiment at the base of the Whisper White layer using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink before embossing it with the Softly Falling Textured Impression Embossing Folder.

I used two of the Sleigh Ride Edgelits to die cut a piece of Gold Foil Card Stock and a piece of Whisper White Card Stock.

I die-cut a bauble from the Delicate Ornaments Thinlits Dies using the new Black Glimmer Paper that’s available in the new Christmas catalogue.

I positioned my gold die-cut on the bauble in the required position and laid the die on top. I moved the die and gold die-cut onto my Big Shot and die-cut the gold piece to fit on top of the bauble.

I did the same with the Whisper White die-cut.

I adhered the Gold Foil to the Black Glimmer Paper using Tombow.

I weighted it down for a few minutes and while I was waiting, applied Versamark to the snow area of the white die-cut, sprinkled with White Embossing powder and heat set it.  

I used Tombow to adhere this to the gold layer.

On the second card, the one with the bow at the bottom of the thread, photographs 4 – 7, I used my Two-way Glue Pen on the snow area of my white die-cut, sprinkled on the white embossing powder and heat set it.

I found this gave a much better finish as it was more uneven and therefore more realistic!

The photographs aren’t brilliant but I think you can see what I mean, particularly in the last one.

What do you think of this idea? Do you think it looks like snow?

Until tomorrow, happy crafting.

JanB.
