Snowflake Sentiments – CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #299

This week Patricia has a colour challenge for us. The colours screamed Christmas to me so I decided to dust off the Snowflake Sentiments stamp set.

The stamp set can be found in the annual catalogue and here’s the card that I made with it.

 

I wanted to tie in the Cherry Cobbler base card to the card front but without stamping in that colour. I figured that Cherry Cobbler snowflakes would look just a little too weird. As a result, I used a strip of Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White paper with a snowflake design to bring the colour in.

Here are my instructions for the Snowflake Sentiments card

Cutting instructions

• Cherry Cobbler cardstock – 10.5 x 29.7 cm scored and folded in half at 14.9 cm to create the base card.
• Tranquil Tide cardstock – 10.0 x 14.4 cm
• Whisper White cardstock – 9.5 x 13.9 cm (card front), 10.0 x 14.4 cm (for the inside)
• Whisper White cardstock – 6.0 x 14.9 cm for stamping and die cutting the three snowflakes
• Dashing Along Designer Series Paper – 3.0 x 13.9 cm

Stamping and construction instructions

1. Glue the paper to the 9.5 x 13.9 cm piece of Whisper White leaving a 0.5 cm Whisper White gap along one edge.
2. Stamp flowers the snowflakes in Mint Macaron onto the 6.0 x 14.9 cm piece of Whisper White and then die cut out using circles from the Stitched Shape and Layering Circles Thinlits.
3. Stamp sentiment in Tranquil Tide onto the 9.5 x 13.9 cm Whisper White card front.
4. Adhere the Whisper White card front to the 10.0 x 14.4 cm piece of Tranquil Tide and then fix the whole thing to the Cherry Cobbler card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
5. Fix the snowflake circles to the strip of paper using Stampin’ Dimensionals and then add a rhinestone to the centre of each one.
6. Stamp a snowflake onto the 10.0 x 14.4 cm panel of Whisper White to match the front and then glue into the inside of the card.

I hope that my card  has given you some ideas and inspired you to give the challenge a go. You will find the link to add your card along with pictures of all the other design team members cards over on the CC&S blog. Deadline for adding the link to your card is 11.00 pm (UK time) on Monday, 26 November.

Happy stamping.
