Sparkle 2

Today’s card is a variation on the one from yesterday.  It uses the Snowflake Splendor suite again, but has a few extra details.  This is another one I made in bulk, but only 25 this time, for my VIP customers when I sent their Autumn/Winter catalogues.  (Become a VIP and join the exclusive Facebook group by spending over £50 with me in the last 12 months.  VIPs are the first to hear of any special offers and promotions, and get extra treats with orders.)

I started again with a card base in Thick Whisper White.  The top three strips are easy to produce in large quantities.  The first strip is Balmy Blue glimmer paper mounted on Balmy Blue cardstock.  I accidentally cut the glimmer paper too small, so I cut it diagonally and added some adhesive-backed Snowflakes in the gap as an added feature.  (every mistake is just a design opportunity!)  The second strip is Whisper White card run through the Winter Snow embossing folder and mounted on Silver Foil.  The third strip uses a piece of the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper mounted onto Night of Navy cardstock.

I stamped the sentiment from Snowflake Wishes in Night of Navy ink onto Whisper White cardstock and cut it out using one of the stitched shape dies from Hippo & Friends dies.  The sentiment was mounted on the card with foam dimensionals and decorated with a snowflake cut out of Balmy Blue glimmer paper using the dies that match the stamps.  The final touch was a twisted length of Snowflake Splendor ribbon along the bottom of the card.
