Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow…

Posted by Jen | Taylored Expressions/Stamp A Sweet Impression, cards | Thursday, October 23, 2008

Taylor never ceases to amaze me with the WOW factor of her products {and projects!}. So, when the latest releases for Stamp A Sweet Impression from Taylored Expressions hit my doorstep a couple weeks ago, it was no surprise to me that I literally said, “Wow!” when I looked at them. I then totally fell in love with this little snowman cupcake and “Let It Snow” sentiment {LOOOVE those fonts!} in the Home Sweet Home set. There are several images in this set, including a large gingerbread house, but I had to use this guy for my sneak peek today.

The base of this card is created from PTI’s Stamper’s Select White. I also used SU! Baja Breeze, Real Red and Basic Gray. The snowman…or should I say snowcake, is colored with Copic markers and he is sitting on a bed of snow created from Diamond Stickles. The Baja Breeze panel has snowflakes from the Home Sweet Home set heat embossed in Stardust embossing powder from Stampendous. I really like that embossing powder, especially for the holidays. It’s a kinda like a combination of clear embossing powder with Dazzling Diamonds and silver ultra-fine glitter mixed in. As for the circle snowflake panels…I started with a small piece of Whisper White paper that I embossed with the Stampendous embossing powder. I punched three 1 1/2″ circles from that piece of paper, so then I had 3 super spar-ka-lay circles. I then punched the snowflake 3 times in the Real Red and 3 times in the going gray. I punched out the Basic Gray snowflake negatives with the 1 1/2″ circle punch and the Real Red negatives with a 1 3/8″ punch. I glued the two snowflake negative circles together, lining up the snowflakes. I then mounted that on top of the embossed white circles with dimensionals. The finishing touch for the entire card was the 3 Swarovski crystals in the middle of the snowflakes and between the repeating sentiment.
Here’s the detail on the circle snowflake panels…

If you haven’t been already, be sure to check out Taylor’s blog and the blogs of the rest of the {sensational} DT members for more A-MAAAAAAAZ-ING projects and ideas.

See you tomorrow for ABC Friday, which is also release day for all these cute stamps. I will have another project using the new sets from Stamp A Sweet Impression.

    This is the cutest card. I follow your blog through feedblizt by email. I’m so glad I got the email, and I love this card so much. You did such a great job, and I love all the details you told about. Also, I didn’t know about Taylored Expressions Stamps. I am definitely getting a couple of sets. You keep up the good work.
