Snowflake Christmas Peek a boo Shutter Card

We made this card at my last stamp club night. It was a fun card to make because the inside has a little surprise when you open the card! For the front of the card I used the snowflake die and some Marina Mist DSP.


Inside I decorated the card with snowflakes from the Northern Frost die and stamps from the Bright Hopes stamp set.

To create the card I started with one 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" piece of card stock scored at 2-1/8" from each end of the 8-1/2" side. I added a piece of 5-1/2 x 3-1/4" for the center piece inside that I punched with the 1-3/4 circle and then used the circle to attach my large snowflake to. The two sliding pieces of dsp are 2" x 3" and I scored them at 1/4" so that they would attach to the sides of the card.

Here is the video tutorial that I watched to create this card.

Supplies:
Stamps: Bright Hopes
Ink: Marina Mist
Paper: Marina Mist, Marina Mist DSP
Snowflake Sizzix die
Northern Frost Decorative Strip
1-3/4" Circle Punch

Snowflake Card
















I love Snowflakes! I remember wishing for snow so that we wouldn't have school and we could go play out in the snow. Now that I live in sunny California I don't see much snow anymore, but snowflakes still hold the magic that I felt during my childhood. To add some bling to my snowflake, I used the two-way glue pen on the ends of the snowflake and then dipped each end in Dazzling Diamonds glitter!

Supplies Used:
Stamp Sets: Four the Holidays
Cardstock: Marina Mist, Whisper White
Dazzling Diamonds glitter
Ink: White Craft ink
Ribbon: Retired Marina Mist Satin
Snowflakes Originals Die
Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder
Northern Frost Decorative Strip Sizzlit Die

Snowflake Gift Card Box


At my stamp club last night, we this cute little snowflake box with three cards and envelopes to go inside. We started by making our own stencil with a 3x3 piece of a window sheet and the ornament punch. Then we swirled some bash blue ink with a sponge dauber onto the card using the ornament stencils we created. Then we stamped the medium snowflake from the Serene Snowflakes stamp set in silver with the stencil still in place.

Then we layered it on some bashful blue cardstock and punched a 1/16th circle in the top of the ornament and tied some silver elastic cord into a bow on the ornament. We used dimensionals to place it on a 3x6 piece of night of navy folded in half.

We stamped the greetings from Christmas Greeting inside the cards.

For the box we started with a 3-1/2" x 8'1/2" piece of Night of Navy and stamped the large and small snowflakes from the Serene Snowflakes stamp set all over the box. The box was scored and 3/4" across the bottom and at 3 -1/4", 4", 7-1/4", 8" lengthwise. Then the right hand corner was cut away and the bottom score lines were cut up to the 3/4" score line. We put it together with some sticky strip on the right 1/2" panel and then some on one of the bottom panels.
