Spirited Snowmen & Dazzling Diamonds

Uncategorized

6 Sep
Hello, Crafters.
Oh dear! I don’t know what happened, but yesterday morning’s 
blog didn’t publish until 9.30 pm UK time! I sincerely apologise
 for this; I can only assume I scheduled it to publish at the 
wrong time! I will pay extra attention in future to make
 sure it doesn’t happen again. 
Now that the Christmas catalogue is Live, I can start making
 Christmas cards totally guilt-free! 
This image of the snowman and snowwoman, from the 
Spirited Snowmen, was one of the first I fell in love with;
 it is just so, so cute! 
This is the first time for absolutely ages that I’ve used Dazzling
 Diamonds. I think I more or less stopped using it when Stampin’ 
Up! retired the absolutely fabulous two-way Glue Pen. These
 two products together were a marriage made in heaven! 
 Yesterday I used the Fine Tipe Glue Pen for the Dazzling
 Diamonds, and it worked quite well. I did find the glue was
 very thick in comparison to the two-way Glue Pen, and
 caused a slight “bubble” on the cardstock. I’m pleased to say 
it did eventually dry, and the bubble disappeared!
 I painted the snow mound they were standing on using the 
Frost White Shimmer Paint. As far as photographs are concerned
 I had to prop the card up at an angle to make the snow visible!

The Designer Series Paper (DSP) I used behind the image is 
called Under the Mistletoe. I should have checked the 
colours used in this DSP before I started on my card, and 
I would have known to use Old Olive instead of 
Granny Apple Green!☺ 
There is a snowflakes stamp in the set which I was 
going to stamp to give the happy couple something to
 look at, but I decided to leave it clear! My favourite
 style – plain and simple! 
That’s about it from me today. If yesterday was your first
 chance to view the new catalogue, I hope you liked! Please
 let me know if you’d like me to send you a hardcopy. In 
the meantime, ntil tomorrow, happy crafting.
JanB.

    Really a sweet card! I love this stamp set and have made a few cards using it already. Like how you've done their bodies in the Dazzling Diamonds and used the DSP for the layer behind … both ideas I could implement myself, rather than just colouring etc. Thank you!!

      Hi, Geraldine. I had three emails from Blogger a few days ago and I selected to go back to the way we were i.e. I get an email when someone posts a comment. I was thrilled to think they'd sorted themselves out after so long! Apparently not! I'll investigate and see if I can find out what's going on! ☺ Happy crafting, JanB.
