- Card #1—Classic Pines & Poinsettias
- Card #2—Baja Breeze Stitched Stockings
The third design is…*drum roll*
These Two Cool Stamp-A-Stack cards were CASEd from the 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog (page 21).
You can't see it well above, but this card has A LOT of shimmer…shimmer mist, that is!
The snowman layer AND the soft suede embossed background both have a heavy dose of shimmer mist (a mixture of rubbing alcohol & Champagne Shimmer Mist in a spray bottle). Click on either photo to enlarge it to get a better look at all the sparkle!
I knew that I wanted to use Snow Much Fun on one of my Stamp-A-Stack cards, but I wanted something a little different. Usually, for snowman images, I tend to use my Dazzling Diamonds to make the snow glisten. I like the way this card features a whimsical image, on a more traditional, warmer background. And, with the shimmer mist, I didn't have to sacrifice the sparkle on this comfortable and cozy style!
Card Details: I stamped the snowman on a Whisper White Scallop Square Duo Die die-cut in Basic Black. After coloring with a Blender Pen and Classic Inks (using the lids as a palette), I used the Color Spritzer to add some Crumb Cake splatters. Finally, I misted with my shimmer mist mixture, then layered on Real Red card stock.
The background panel is texture embossed, then glimmered up with shimmer mist, too. I wrapped the piece with Real Red 5/8" Grosgrain (retired).
The sentiment, also from Snow Much Fun, is punched out with the Modern Label Punch, and layered on two halves of a Lucky Limeade Modern Label punch. Finish off with Pearl Jewels.
Look for the final Stamp-A-Stack design to be unveiled next Monday, November 28.
