Art With Heart Holiday Blog Hop

Today some of the Art with Heart Stampin’ Up! team girls are sharing some fun and fabulous ideas to inspire you from our brand new Holiday Catalogue available now until 3rd January 2017. Be sure to request your copy of the catalogue today!

 You have come to my blog from the very talented, Rachel Palmieri.  Blogs are full circles, so you can start hopping here and then at the end of each post is a link to the next. There is also a list of participants at the end in case of any broken links.

The card I have for you uses the Star of Light stamp set and Starlight framelits and a technique called Salted Background. I will have a tutorial here for this technique over the weekend.

Here's a close up of the background and the star, diecut from Stampin Up White Glimmer paper.

Detailed Santa Shaker Instructions

 

This card was on of my class projects last Saturday and I promised to share the instructions, so here goes.

First cut Whisper White and window sheet to 10cm x 10cm.

Use Detailed Santa thinlit and centre on Whisper White piece, run through Bigshot. I recommend using the precision plate for this.

 

Apply Thin tip glue pen to the reverse side of the Detailed Santa.

 

Lay the window sheet over the back of thinlit and hold down with something heavy like a clear block.

Apply foam strips around the outside of the Santa framelit, making sure the are no gaps in the corners.

 

Use the Emboss Buddy generously around the inside edge of the foam strip to de-sticky the edge of the foam, so that the sequins do not stick to the edges.

 

Heat emboss the greeting from Greetings From Santa, in white embossing powder.

 

Place a small pile of sequins on the card front.

Remove the backing from the foam strip and palace the Detailed Santa thinlit and window sheet section over the pile of sequins.

Your card is finished!
