Elegant Snowflake Waterfall Card

 

It's getting cool here in Northern Arizona.  We got rain, but no snow at this point.  I think I can wait a little longer for the white stuff to come down.  In the meantime, I created a card full of snowflakes - and it's a waterfall card.  That means that when you pull on the tab at the bottom of the snowflakes, the layers of the card open up.  Take a look at this quick video and see how it works!

This technique card is made really easy because of the waterfall thin cut die that Close to My Heart came out with in September.  The elements of this die (Z3777) are shown below.  All the pieces you need to finish this card are included in this die set - found on my CTMH website.

Here are a few other photos showing how it looks as you pull it open.

The snowflakes are embossed with white on the Blue Belle color of the year cardstock.  The sentiment is stamped in Sapphire.

The snowflakes are from the Elegant Snowflakes stamp set that comes with coordinating thin cut dies (Z3899) 

This card is really easy to put together, and is a part of my December card kit.  Contact me if interested

Jingle Joy for Fab Friday Sketch Challenge

 

The Jingle Joy papers have such fun Christmas colors!  And the sketch from Fab Friday was perfect for this "wrapped with love" card.  The stamp set, shown below, is from CTMH's Jingle Joy Cardmaking Workshop.  I love the script font used on this set.

Besides the fun colors in the Jingle Joy papers, they are all double-sided, with a different design on the back side.  So it was easy to create two cards with different themes with the same papers.  Just flipped them over and I could do a birthday card.
 

I'm so glad you stopped by to check out my card.  Don't miss out on the other projects created with this sketch over at the Fab Friday Blog.

CTMH Stamp of the Month for CASe this Sketch Challenge

 

It's been a while since I've participated in a sketch challenge.  I love the inspiration I get from not only the sketch, but from the artwork provided by the design team members.  So this week, I jumped back into the challenge world and loved the sketch from CASe this Sketch.  I thought the flowers were perfect!

I used "Happiness Never Grows Old" (shown above), the December Stamp of the Month from Close to My Heart.  I love the floral images on this set, and used the Spring Blossoms embossing folder for the top element instead of stripes.  The sentiment is "In Your Time of Need."  I used Blue Belle and Sapphire inks and Blue Belle cardstock.

I love how layering the two floral sprays worked well with the contrasting colors.

Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the blog world.  And don't miss out on seeing the other great creations over at CASe this Sketch.
