The jar comes from an older Hero Arts set, Winter Scene, and is stamped in Silver.

There are so many awesome new stamps from this release that it was difficult to choose which one to feature, but in the end, the fun and versatile Winter Silhouettes stamp set won.
I made three cards, same design, different color combos, and each a "step up" from the previous.
First off...
The jar comes from an older Hero Arts set, Winter Scene, and is stamped in Silver.
The trees are stamped in Passion Flower and Soft Lilac for the purples, and Navy for the boy, dog and sentiment. The sentiment comes from a fun new clear set, Poster Christmas Carols.
The panel is adhered to an A4 card base, and first one is done! This could be even faster if you have a stamp positioning tool.
For the second card, the same process as the first card is repeated, except using Cotton Candy, Bubblegum, and Grape Juice This one has a little extra something though, in the form of glitter.
I stamped the snow (from the Winter Scene set) using the Essential Glue pad. It's been forever since I've used this, but it's so fun! I have an old video on how to get it to work well, but essentially, you add a little drop of the glue refill onto the pad, squish it around, ink, and stamp!
To make sure the glitter stays on for more than one day, give the glue some time to set and then add the glitter. This will make sure the glitter stays on - I know I have some really old cards where I stamped the glitter, and that glitter is still holding on to this day! The finer the glitter, the better the hold.
Finally, the shaker card...
For this card, you're actually stamping on the card base, instead of the panel. To get the stamped base and die cut panel to align perfectly, first die cut the panel using the Jar die Then use some washi tape to hold in place on the base, and stamp the jar.
The rest of the stamping is per usual, in Cornflower, Dusty Blue, and Charcoal . Some chunky Martha Stewart glitter and clear sequins complete the shaker card and this little card set.

What a clever idea to stamp the trees & child with a sled & dog and putting it inside a bottle. Love your shaker card, as well.
ReplyDeleteI love them all just wish u had listed the jar die u used for them.

ReplyDeleteSimple and clean with few colors. I can never get that done. But they look good. Maybe I can take a lesson to go more simple. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThese are stunning!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea to make them look like a snow globe in a jar! For those who love the country style these are perfect.
ReplyDeleteWow, love the different levels with the shaker being my favorite - snow globe feels!!
ReplyDeleteWhat totally blew me away was the amazingly realistic snow globe quality, it was as if you shook that snow globe, and we are left with the realistic falling snow and the glittery wonder of an old-fashioned Christmas. THAT is completely unbelievably WONDERFUL, I am TOTALLY IMPRESSED!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had to have that snow globe MMH kit last year--I missed out on it but managed to snag it later, a death in our family meant I wasn't thinking of crafts for awhile, and I was so grateful to get it--but still haven't used it. You have inspired me to pull it out and try and create with it, thank you for that inspiration!!! I am totally BLOWN AWAY by your ability to really recreate this so real snow globe effect, wow, wow, WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
Joanne Lowe
