We don’t have scenes like this on Maui at all, but it doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy them:
At convention, one of the presenters showed us how you could make little pin-point dots on a piece of card stock with our new Fine Tip Glue Pen and add Dazzling Diamonds (don’t tell) for this snowfall effect.
I took it a step further and added snow on the roof, the trees, and the windowsill.
I tried the same card again using Basic Black and some of our retired Silver Encore card stock, but I still felt that the sponging for the sky needed to be deep blue – this is Isand Indigo and Night Of Navy.
The second time around I liked my drifting snow much more.
I’m ambivalent – do you have a preference? One thing I’m sure of: the Hearth and Home Window frame Thinlits are a big hit!
When I’m looking for a quick pop for a project I turn to Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper (DSP). The vintage-inspired designs in Home For Christmas are a perfect example:
Yes – that dear little deer is trimmed from DSP! Worth the time to fussy cut, too, because I’m not sure I could ever color an image that well!
And if you are looking for one more “perfect touch” check out these buttons. (Confession: It was something of a pain in the you-know-what to thread this Thick Baker’s Twine through the button, but I didn’t have my new Gold Cord yet so I persevered.)
Another example – same song, second verse! The entire focal point on this card was a mini-make-and-take we did at Convention. The regular Baker’s Twine is much easier to thread through the button. And that wide Vanilla Ribbon is luxurious.
Christmas is still a ways off, but Christmas crafting is in full swing. Take a peek at the Holiday catalog for your inspiration!
If you’re on Maui, I’m placing an order this afternoon – Thursday – and would be happy to add to it for you. Happy shopping!
