Happy Sunday!  Hello and welcome to my blog.  Today I am hopping with some Crafty Collaborators along the Share it Sunday Blog Hop and the theme is share a project, any project.  There are several of us hopping today - you will find the list to follow along towards the bottom of my blog post - so sit back and enjoy your favorite coffee, tea, water or smoothie as we share some handmade projects with you!

Today's Projects

Yesterday I shared a Watercolor Kissing Technique for the middle snowflake card (click here to see how to create it).  Today I am sharing the other two cards that led to the inspiration of creating that card!  Can you look at these cards without smiling?!?

Project Details

Stamp the Artisitically Inked large flower image in Balmy Blue ink onto the largest Basic White card layer for the shaker card (NOTE:  all layer sizes are listed below in the "Time to Use Your Paper Trimmer" section).  Clean the stamp.  Repeat with Fresh Freesia and Misty Moonlight inks... stamping off with Misty Moonlight to create a lighter shade.  Die cut snowflakes with the So Many Snowflakes dies.

Center Penguin Playmates DSP scene of your choice between the So Many Snowflakes window die.  Trim the DSP to the appropriate size.  Die cut the window frame with the 4" Basic White Cardstock layer.  Adhere the Window Sheet to the back of the die-cut frame with Tear & Tape Adhesive lightly dusting with the Embossing Buddy (retired).  Create a completed shape and a filled-in-border with Foam Adhesive Strips.  Add a mix of sequins - I used the Metallic sequins with a few of the Green sequins from the Sequins for Everything mix along with the upcoming Subtle Shimmer Sequins (SNEAK PEEK!).  Remove the adhesive strip backings and adhere the smallest Basic White card layer.

Arrange your snowflake die-cuts and adhere with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Stamp the Snowflake Wishes sentiment with VersaMark onto Fresh Freesia cardstock and heat emboss with White Stampin' Emboss Powder.  Die cut the sentiment using the Ornate Layers die.  Wrap White Baker's Twine around the shaker component tying off with a bow.  Adhere the sentiment panel with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals (or Foam Adhesive Strips, if you prefer).  Embellish with Subtle Shimmer Sequins.  Adhere the shaker component to the Basic White Thick card base.  Shake and smile!  **WINK**

For the inside, the heat embossed Snowman Season sentiment was the choice for me!  It complimented the font on the card front and was highlighted with snowflake die-cuts.  The thickness of the shaker was a little too much for our standard Basic White Medium Envelopes so the Kraft Gift Box (SNEAK PEEK!) with its window sheet opening was a perfect fit!

Fussy cut the polar bear from the DSP.  Emboss the Basic White card layer with the Painted Textures 3D Embossing Folder.  Die cut the Playful Alphabet letters with Misty Moonlight Cardstock.  Place your polar bear on the embossed layer, outline with Light Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends and freehand the snow angel movements.  Fill in as needed per your liking.  

Adhere the Polar Bear and die-cut letters with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Adhere the embossed layer to the DSP layer.  Adhere layers to the Basic White Thick card base.

The inside layers were replicated and stamped to share some Christmas and New Year wishes with the Heartfelt Wishes (SNEAK PEEK!) and So Many Snowflakes Stamp Sets.  The envelope was stamped on the envelope front and flap while lining it with the DSP.
