Bring on Winter with this Snowflake Ornament Card

Christmas card sending season is coming quickly. Here’s another easy idea to make with similar supplies you may have in your collection, if you don’t already have the Textures and Frames Sale-A-Bration stamp set or Peaceful Prints Sale-A-Bration Designer Series Paper.  You may find people selling these items on Etsy or Ebay as two places to check.

Ornament portion of card cased from Kathryn Brown. Rest is my design.


Products Used in creating this Card:

Basic Black cardstock cardbase
Bsaic White cardstock layer
Recently Retired - Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper layer 
Black and White 1/4" Gingham Ribbon
Basic Black cardstock layer
Bsaic White cardstock layer
Recently Retired - Textures and Frames Sale-a-Bration stamp set - 
Circle image stamped in Real Red ink
Gold heat embossed Ornament Hanger comes from Retired Embellished Ornaments stamp set
White heat embossed Snowflake comes from  Retired Stitched with Cheer stamp set
Christmas Wishes greeting comes from Banner Year stamp set
Gold Embossing Powder
White Embossing Powder
Versamark ink
Heat Tool
Memento Tuxedo Black ink
Retired Fine Gold Braid Thread


Here’s a close up of the fun stamped and embossed "Ornament.". If you don’t have the stamp set, but have similar materials, one trick you could try is take some scrap cardstock, then punch or die cut a similar size circle in it and use it as a stencil to sponge dauber your ink through to create a round ornament. Any snowflake stamp you own that would fit inside your circle would be just fine to heat emboss with the white embossing powder. Try some different combinations for yourself! That’s the fun of being creative. Seeing what results from the ideas you have in your head!

Thanks for stopping by!

Give it a Whirl Fun Halloween Card

Here's the other Halloween card we made over the weekend in my Stamp & Chat classes. This card was so fun because we used the "Give it a Whirl" Dies. It took me a little figuring it out, but I think I've got it! 



You will have a lot of variety with these dies!

Products Used to Create this Card:

Pumpkin Pie cardstock card base

Basic Gray cardstock for mid-layer and scalloped circle

Retired Magic of the Night Designer Series Paper (DSP) for front of card

Give it a Whirl Dies

Use a piece of the Designer Series Paper White Firm Backing Paper Packaging for the wheel

Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper for the selected images that are die-cut out

Retired Black mini brads and two thin metal spacers so the wheel will turn easily (one space may need to be scotch-taped in place so it won't show when the wheel is turned.

Harvest & Haunts Paper Pumpkin stamp set for greeting on a scrap 
of Basic White using Pumpkin Pie Ink

Banner Year stamp set for the inside of card - I used Happy Haunting and Boo stamps on the inside

Very retired Halloween Night enamel dots embellishments

HOT TIP #1
The Give It a Whirl Dies that you will need for this card:

This large rectangular die is shown with the cutting side up. 
(The smaller pieces I couldn't remove from the photo easily.) Notice the crossbar with the tiny bump in the middle of the die that will be where you connect this circular die (shown below,) to create the window where the images will pass by when you turn the wheel.
This circular die will need to be rotated 180 degrees so the window shape is above the crossbar on the rectangular die above. It will actually slip onto the "hole" bump so you can position it well before you die cut the front DSP.

Use this three-section die to cut the piece of the Designer Series Paper White Firm Backing Paper Packaging to create the wheel. (The triangular wheel sections do not get cut out.)

Use the circular die again to die cut out your chosen images from the Cute Halloween DSP

Use the Scalloped Circle Die to cut the Basic Gray cardstock that will frame your opening.

Use the small banner die for your greeting that you have stamped on Basic White with Pumpkin Pie ink.


HOT TIP # 2:
Here's the assembly order of the card layers:

A small brad goes through the tiny hole that was die cut with the Give it a Whirl dies on the front Magic of the Night DSP 


 On the reverse side add a spacer and tape down if necessary. 

Add the thick wheel

Place the other spacer and open the brad tips to secure flat.

Next, you will adhere the three circular die-cut DSP images through the opening of the die-cut circle one at a time, being careful not to glue anything to the DSP layer, just to the wheel. I used skeleton, pumpkin, and ghost images. Your three images need to be spacely evenly around the wheel in one-third increments. Check that the wheel will turn freely.

Then add dimensionals on the back edges of the DSP and near the wheel, but not to obstruct the wheel's movement.

Peel the covers from the dimensionals and secure to the Basic Gray Layer.

Then secure that "sandwich" to the Pumpkin Pie card base front.

Adhere your Scalloped Circle to the front of the window on the card front. You will have a little bump from the brad head but don't let that bother you.

Finish up with the Basic White stamped tag and adhere it to a scrap of Pumpkin Pie cardstock, then fussy cut about 1/8'" away from the white tag all the way around. Adhere both layers together and use mini dimensionals to raise off of the card front.

Finish with embellishments.

Happy Haunting Card

Isn't this the cutest Halloween card ever? So cheery for a child or fun-loving adult. This card is one of five I'll be offering at my next In-Home (with Covid Safety precautions in place, of course!) Card Class on October 17 and 18.

This card has a fun closure technique with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. You also get to create your own Designer Series Paper (DSP) with the fun stamps from the Banner Year Stamp set in your choice of Halloween ink colors and arrangement. Go crazy with the stamps!

I cased most of the design from Lisa Curcio, but added my own touch with the Boo! stamp along the right border edge. The ribbon shown is retired but I have put a current ribbon in the shopping list below for you.



Let's Create This Card!

1. Cut Basic Black cardstock 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", score at 3-1/2".

2. CLOSURE: After Basic Black is folded on the score line, mark 1" up from the lower right corner of the front and back with a pencil tick mark. Open the card base flat, insert the front section fully into the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, aligning the pencil tick mark with the outer side edge of the punch. Punch to create scalloped tab. Repeat process with back section of card base, making sure you align the 1" pencil tick mark exactly the same way, so the two tabs will be level with each other. With your paper trimmer, using the cutting blade, carefully remove excess cardstock from both edges to leave only the tab showing. Then with the scoring blade on the trimmer, carefully score the back layer tab, so it will fold over to create the closure effect.

3. Cut Pumpkin Pie cardstock 4" x 5-1/4" and adhere as shown. 

4. Cut Whisper White cardstock 3-3/4" x 5". Stamp Boo! along the edge with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Adhere to Pumpkin Pie layer.

5, MAKE YOUR OWN DSP: Cut Whisper White 2-3/8" x 5-1/4", then proceed to stamp in the following order: (Refer to photo)
  • Stamp greeting "Happy Haunting" first with Memento Black ink
  • Pumpkin Bodies with Pumpkin Pie ink
  • Pumpkin  Stems with Garden Green ink
  • Bats and Pumpkin Faces with Memento Black ink
  • Cobwebs with Smokey Slate ink

6. Adhere finished DSP layer to card front. Thread ribbon through scalloped tabs and tie bow. All done!
