3-D Snowflakes

We certainly have been getting a lot of snow lately. In between trips outside to shovel the snow I made some 3-D snowflake decorations.

I used Rosette Frozen Snowflake for the base of the snowflake and Snowflake Layers for the rest of the snowflake.

The base rosette layers is sized to a height of 12 inches, and is cut from white cardstock. The finished rosette is about 7.5 inches across.

The Snowflake layers are cut from glitter cardstock. I used the layer with the solid center as the bottom layer. It was cut from white glitter cardstock and is about 5.5 inches across. The other two layers were cut from two shades of blue or pink glitter cardstock and measure 4.5 inches and 3.8 inches across. I inked each snowflake with coordinating ink.

 The Snowflake Layers were stacked together with foam tape and foam dots to add dimension.

Top layer.

Middle layer. 

Bottom white layer.

A .75 inch glitter snowflake sticker was put in the center and a .25 inch gel gem sticker added to the center of the glitter snowflake.

These snowflakes make beautiful tree ornaments, but I ended up putting mine in my bow window. Try making some; they're quick and easy, and so pretty!

Happy Winter!

RDS Skating Shape Card

When I was growing up January always meant skating at the local outdoor skating rink.

I used Rag Doll Sweetheart Skating from Little Blue Button Stamps and a skate image from Cricut for my shape card. I welded two five inch bottom layers of the skate together, back-to-back.

You can find the file in Design Space here:
https://design.cricut.com/#/design/121204224
If you do not already own this skate file it will cost you $.99.

 I laced the skate with 3/8 inch aqua ribbon and tied it at the top. I added snowflake stickers and gems onto the card.

I printed the image at 4.5 inches and colored her with Prismacolor Pencils. After I fussy cut her out leaving a small margin of white, I added her to the card with foam tape.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Winter!

Snowman Easel Match Box

Hi! Today I am sharing a cute snowman easel match box. I created this project by combining two files from My Scrap Chick, Snowman's Friend Easel Card and Sweet Nugget Matchboxes.

             

Keeping all the pieces grouped together, I started by making the easel card so it is six inches wide. I made the snowman using glitter cardstock from Coredinations. The rest of the card was made using papers from my stash. I attached the nose, hat brim and arm with foam tape to give the snowman dimension.  A snowflake and blue gem embellishment was added to the hat band. The sentiment was accented with snowflakes and also attached with foam tape. (My sentiment came from Digital Delights by Louby Loo.)

For the drawers I kept the file grouped together, then sized it so the box measured three inches across. I made two of these out of tagboard so they were sturdier. I glued the two boxes together, side by side, then wrapped them in a coordinating piece of heavy cardstock. The easel card was then attached on top of the two boxes.

I used my snowman box to gift some tea to a tea loving friend, but it would be great for any small treasures. I love how it turned out! 

Thanks for stopping by. I'd love to hear what you think.

Ice Skating Bears

We are having a marvelous February thaw, but I'm sure Mother Nature has plenty more winter weather in store for us here in the U.P. of Michigan. Today I am sharing an ice skate decoration using files from My Scrap Chick.

For this project I used the "3D Ice Skate" file and " Ice Skating Bears."

https://www.myscrapchick.com/product.cfm?product=877

https://www.myscrapchick.com/product.cfm?product=588


Let's start with the skate.

Materials

Sturdy cardstock in white, gray and black

2 feet of ribbon or cord

lace and bead decoration

1 1/2 inch wide eyelet lace

Burlap and lace trim

large eyelets

Glue and tape runner

Paper clips

1. Cut out all your pieces. I know it looks like a lot of pieces, but a great tutorial is included in your download, so follow the tutorial and take your time.

2. I added large eyelets to the lace area, but this is optional. 

3. Follow the tutorial to complete the skate. I use a combination of adhesive runner and glue. (The adhesive holds things together while the glue dries.) I also use paper clips to help hold things together while the glue dries.

4. When the skate is complete, lace up the front with ribbon or cord, then glue the tongue in place. Glue the lace and bead trim to the side.

5. Wrap the eyelet lace around the top of the skate and glue the overlap in the back. Wrap the burlap and lace trim around the top of the skate covering the top of the eyelet lace and glue in the back. 

Now we will work on the flowers and Ice Skating Bears. 

Materials

4 flower sprigs - 2 blue/purple and 2 white (I got mine from the Dollar Store.)

Round floral foam (I got mine from the Dollar Store.)

Snowflake stickers - 1/2 inch to 1 inch

 Wire that is sturdy enough to support the snowmen

Cardstock in purple, green and aqua

Patterned cardstock scraps

White glitter cardstock by Recollections

Double stick tape and glue

Paperclips

1. The bears are made from glitter cardstock and are about 3 1/2 inches tall. I duplicated each bear pattern and reversed it horizontally so there would be a bear to use for a back on each one. The hats and scarves are made using patterned cardstock scraps.

2. Put the bear front together then turn it over. Cut a 12 inch piece of wire and attach it to the back using double stick tape. Construct the back image of the bear on top lining up the pieces. Paperclip together while the glue dries. Repeat this for each bear. Make snowflake sprigs by putting two same sized snowflakes back to back sandwiching the wire in between.

3. I bought a round piece of floral foam from the Dollar Store and put it inside the skate wedging it in place with pieces of tagboard. I pulled the flowers apart into separate wire sprigs. These were arranged into the bouquet and the bears and snowflakes were added between the flowers. 

I hope you enjoyed this project tutorial. If you did, I'd love to hear from you. Have a great day! ~ Shirley

Ice Skating Bear Snowflake card

We are expecting a snowstorm so I guess winter isn't over yet. After all, the groundhog did see his shadow!
Today for my first post for My Scrap Chick, I made a quick little winter card using "Ice Skating Bears"  and " Gentle Snowflake Card." 

 https://www.myscrapchick.com/cw4/images/product_expanded/iceskatebears.jpg


https://www.myscrapchick.com/cw4/images/product_expanded/GentleSnowflakeCard.jpg

Materials List

Cardstock from Recollections in two shades of purple

"Purple Flower" print cardstock from Core'dinations

Glitter Cardstock in light purple and white from Recollections

Plaid, aqua, black, gray and pink cardstock scraps

small purple gems

foam tape and adhesive

I made two copies of the card base, one in dark purple and one in light purple. I layered the dark one inside the light one to give the two toned effect.  The snowflake was cut from  "Purple Flower" by Core'dinations, then I traced it on purple glitter paper by Recollections and cut it out. The two snowflakes were layered one on top of the other, then mounted onto the card base with foam tape. Tiny snowflakes were punched out with a punch. Small purple gems were added to some of the snowflakes. 

 

The Ice Skating Bear was cut from white glitter paper at  3 inches. The scarf was cut from a plaid scrap and the hat brim and skates were cut from an aqua blue scrap. The different layers were attached with foam tape to add dimension. 

I hope you liked my little card. If you did, I'd love to hear from you.
