Today we're delighted to have Creative Team member Jayne Nelson here to share some fabulous "beyond the kit" ideas for a few of the add-ons
Hi, today I’m sharing two seasonal cards that I created with several of my favorite October add-on products. My first card features the adorable Cozy Penguin Bundle paired with the beautiful Sprinkled Dots Stencil . Both of these versatile products can be used well beyond the winter holidays.
After stamping and coloring a penguin with a hat and a scarf, I secured him to a small tag that I cut from Periwinkle cardstock using one of the Tag Infinity Dies . I also stamped snowflakes with Periwinkle ink onto the top of the tag, added a small hand-cut snow bank at the base, and stamped a small sentiment with Intens-ified Black ink at the lower corner.
To create the snowy background, I stenciled a panel of Nautical cardstock with the Sprinkled Dots stencil using Hero Glitter Paste . The glitter paste adds wonderful sparkle and texture to any card design. Once the paste dried completely, I glued it to a Nautical side-folded card. Before securing the penguin tag to the card with foam tape, I layered a Classic Vellum tag behind the tag and then tied them both with black cording.
My second card features the new Snow Globe Window Fancy Die and a cute Christmas tree from the North Pole Express Bundle .
I die cut detailed snow globes from Dove White and Charcoal cardstock, and a snow globe frame from Nautical cardstock. I applied Blue Hawaii Reactive ink across the white globe with a blending brush , splattered it with water to create snow, and then glued it to the blue frame. I also fussy cut the Charcoal base along the embossed lines and glued the two pieces to the frame. Next, I added a small, hand-cut snow bank at the bottom of the globe and a white, stenciled reflection at the top of the globe to give the appearance of glass.
To the globe, I added a stamped and colored Christmas tree and a white embossed holiday sentiment from the Holiday Sentiments Strips set that was trimmed with the Sentiment Strips Fancy Die . I secured the completed snow globe to a panel of Dove White cardstock with foam tape, and then glued that panel to a Granite card base.
