DOstamperSTARS Challenge #158: Flurry of Wishes Banner Card
November 19, 2015
It's time for another DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge. This week we're having a Home Sweet Home challenge.
You could go a few different directions with this week's inspiration challenge photo; acorns, banner, color combo, fall, etc. I decided to do a banner, but with using snowflakes to create a holiday card. So I reached for the 2015 Holiday Catalog stamp set, Flurry of Wishes. It's also available in a bundle with the matching Snow Flurry Punch (save 15%)..
- Start by stamping the greeting with Marina Mist ink on a piece of 4" x 5-1/4" Whisper White cardstock.
- Then run it through the Big Shot with the Softly Falling Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.
- Stamp the double snowflake image three times with Marina Mist on scraps of Whisper White.
- Cut out with Snow Flurry Punch [139680].
- Adhere a Stampin' Dimensional on the back of 3 small snowflakes and 2 large snow flakes.
- Lay out the snowflakes on the stamped panel (don't adhere yet).
- Note that the two side snowflakes will hang a little bit off the edges, just trim off the excess.
- Start with the center snowflake and adhere it to the center of a 6" piece of Silver Cording Trim, then adhere to the stamped panel.
- Repeat with the rest of the snowflakes by positioning the cording as you go.
- Trim the off the excess Silver Cording.
- Adhere the completed panel to a folded 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" piece of Whisper White cardstock.
- Attach a Rhinestone Basic Jewels Embellishment to the center of each of the snowflakes.
- Enjoy!
Note: the fabulous Silver Cording Trim & Gold Cording Trim from the Holiday Catalog are retiring. So be sure to stock up before they are gone! I'm going to get a couple spools of each as I know that I'm going to be using them with my holiday packaging too! Click for all the details on the 2015 Holiday Catalog Retiring List.
