It's Sunday - the last Sunday of 2024 - and time to share another great card and free tutorial!   So the holidays are basically over - and it's time to start thinking about all the other wonderful events we celebrate - like birthdays.  I love this card - the black and white designer paper really makes it pop - and it has a fun little fold.  I  hope you like it!

Sparkling Snowflakes

All images © 1990-2023 Stampin’ Up!®

Supplies:

 Stamp Sets: Sparkling Snowflakes (162158); Sparkling Snowflakes Bundle (162165)

·       Card Stock and Paper:  Night of Navy (100867); Misty Moonlight (153081); Basic White (159276); Snowflake Magic 12” x 12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (162147)

·       Stamp Pads: Misty Moonlight (153118)

·       Tools: Sparkling Snowflakes Tag Topper Punch (162164);  Take Your Pick (144107)

·       Miscellaneous: Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (162026); Round & Square Brads (155570); Blending Brushes (153611); Adhesive-Backed Glitter Sequins (162029); Stampin’ Pierce Mat (126199); Wink of Stella (141897); Tear & Tape Adhesive (154031);  Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430); Stampin’ Seal Adhesive (152813); Multipurpose Liquid Glue (110755)

Measurements:

 Night of Navy: 8 ½” x 5 ½”, 3 3/8” x 1 1/8”, 7 ¾” x 2”, 2 ¼” x 2 ¼” (3)

  • Misty Moonlight: 5 ¼” x 4”
  • Basic White:  5” x 3 ¾”, 1 7/8” x 4 ¾”, 2 1/8” x 2 1/8” (3)
  • Snowflake Magic DSP: 3 ¾” x 1”

 Instructions:

 1.    Score and fold the Night of Navy 8 ½” x 5 ½” for your card base.

2.    Score the Night of Navy of Navy 7 ¾” x 2” at 1 ½, 2 ¼” and 3”.  Fold these score marks using your Bone Folder so they are all going in the same direction.  At top in the 1” section on the inside of this piece, add two pieces of Tear & Tape.  Do not pull off the backing yet.

3.    Emboss the Basic White piece for the front and adhere that with the Misty Moonlight.  Adhere together the Snowflake Magic DSP and piece of Night of Navy.  Holding the embossed piece, the DSP layer and the scored Night of Navy piece, line all of these up so that the 1” section that has the adhesive is lined up to meet the bottom of the DSP layer.  You are trying to get everything centered on the front of the card.  

4.    Using the Stampin’ Pierce Mat underneath, and using the paper piercing end of your Take Your Pick Tool, poke one hole in the center of each side of the DSP.  Insert the brads so they are going through all four layers.  The brads are the only thing holding the DSP to the card front.     

5.    Stamp the snowflakes on the 3 pieces of Basic White cardstock using Misty Moonlight ink.  Adhere these to the matching 3 pieces of Night of Navy cardstock.

6.    Stamp snowflakes and a greeting on the 1 7/8” x 4 ¾” piece of Basic White.  Adhere this to the long “tail” piece that will be the inside of your waterfall.  Do not adhere over the score mark at the top.  Using the builder punch, punch through both pieces to create the snowflake pull at the bottom.  It will take a little strength to punch through both pieces of cardstock and you may need to stand up to do it. 

7.    Using a blending brush, lightly add some shading to the bottom of the tail and the snowflake pull so it sets it apart from the white card front.

8.    Slip the “tail” end of the waterfall under the DSP layer.  Remove the adhesive you added in step 2 from the back of the 1” part and adhere this to the DSP layer.  You should be able to now pull the snowflake tail and see the waterfall parts move down.

9.    Starting at the bottom (or last snowflake), adhere the snowflake pieces being sure not to adhere over the score marks.  It is best to go directly below them. Use the Tear & Tape to adhere them. 

10. Add sequins to the centers of the snowflakes and the one on the tail.  Use Wink of Stella on the stamped snowflakes on the inside.

11. Stamp the inside and envelope to match.

FREE Mystery Boxes with purchase now through December 31, 2023!

 The return of MYSTERY boxes!! Limited time special.

I’M destashing my retired products and that means an awesome december deal for you – treat yourself to a great christmas present with this bonus!

Meet the order requirement below, and I will put together an awesome mystery box for you – the Mystery Boxes will be filled with retired Stampin’ Up! products and on their way to you.  

THE MYSTERY BOXES CAN INCLUDE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING ITEMS…

-Stamp Sets (If I have the dies or punches to go with a set it will be included with

     the set.)  Some of these may be gently used, but everything is still functional.

-Dies and/or punches

And more – if Stampin’ Up! sold it – then it might be in there.

ORDER ANY TIME December 14 – december 31, 2023!

It’s basically BOGO in value.  An online order of $50 earns a box of product worth a minimum of $50 in retired product; an online $100 order earns a box of product worth a minimum of $100 in retired product; that’s how it works.  For every order $50 or more you will earn at least the equivalent in retired merchandise value – how great is that!  You’ll get a box each time you order at one of those levels during my promotion dates.  Value is based on approximate original sales value in the previous catalogs.

You must order online through my website www.stampingwithmaureen.stampinup.net and use Hostess Code: UF36DW4Z   All boxes will be shipped out ASAP after you order, but with the holidays – please allow up to four weeks for arrival.  I will notify you when your box has shipped.  

*Note: some items may be partial packages rather than full; and all 12”x12” DSP will be cut to 6” x 6” for mailing purposes; products included are as is – no returns. But I promise each package will be filled with crafty fun!  Finally I reserve the right to discontinue the promotion if I run out of appropriate retired merchandise – but note, I do not foresee that happening.

Who's up for a Mystery???
