Morning all!
Well, December has arrived and not only am I back on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today, I'm also sharing a project that fits in with the new December challenge.
Yep, the wintry theme called for a project featuring the ever-so-versatile Winter Wonderland stamps and coordinating dies from Concord & 9th.
Digital papers: Crate Paper - Snowflake, Crate Paper - Fa La La
Stamps and dies: Concord & 9th - Winter Wonderland
I needed to make a fun card for my niece and nephew, so was definitely going to use those snowmen dies with the snowglobe background.
The die set includes a strip for creating a pop-up surprise inside your card, and as someone who shies away from making interactive cards, I decided to bite the bullet and give it a whirl as I wanted to include a snowglobe scene inside the card too.
So I started out by covering my card base on the front and inside with patterned papers to set the scene.
For the front snowglobe, I assembled the jolly snowmen (complete with googly eyes) and put my cardstock scraps to good use for the smaller details.
I added Distress Clear Rock Candy glitter to the snowy hills and Star Dust Stickles to the snow for a more frosty look.
While the glitter was drying, I stamped the cosy sentiment directly onto the card front and cut the "fa la la" from Champagne cardstock.
Next, I stamped the snowglobe for the inside with the same ink colour for the sky and picked ink shades that coordinated with the tree paper.
I made sure to watch the video instructions from Concord & 9th here (about 3.5 minutes in) before attempting to add the snowglobe inside - and hey presto! It worked!
Finally, I added the Snowman snowglobe to the front and cut a few of the snowflakes from the die set as a sparkly finishing touch.
Here's hoping my niece and nephew like their card!
Until next time, happy crafting!
