Winter Wishes Snowman card

January 7, 2021

Hello and Happy New Year 2021! It´s Sanna here again with my January project share. I wanted to create a winter themed greeting card for this month and used the cute Jack Frost die by Joset with Planner Essentials Christmas Figures tree die to create the winter scene.

Here are the steps to the card:

Step 1: Die cut a strip of white paper with Adventure Edges to create a DIY stencil from paper. Use it to ink the background could pattern onto a white card base.
Step 2: Apply a Clear Double Sided Adhesive Sheet onto a piece of white Soft Finish Cardstock and die cut the tree from Planner Essentials 34 Christmas Figures die set. Make sure the adhesive is on the backside when die cutting the whole tree, but pointing towards you when die cutting the filigrane tree die piece. You will need the adhesive on top of be able to add glitter later.
Step 3: Now die cut the Snowflake from white Soft Finish Cardstock (also add an adhesive sheet on the back here too for easier adhering). Also die cut a few snowflakes using the Snow Globe die set, but this time again make sure the adhesive is on top.


Step 4: Using Distress Inks, apply color to the tree and the snowman parts. I used tones: Gathered Twigs, Old Paper, Black Soot, Evergreen Bough, Salty Ocean and Spiced Marmalade.
Step 5: Apply Cool Diamond Silk Microfine Glitter onto the filigrane tree piece as well as the snowflakes.


Step 6: Adhere the green inked tree onto the card base and attach the filigrane, glittered tree piece on top. Now build the snowman together and adhere all pieces on place.
Step 7: Now use the For You stamp set by Sue Smith in combination with Joset´s Winter Sentiments to create the sentiment: “Winter Wishes” and stamp that onto the bottom of the card with black stamp ink. Apply the glittered snowflakes onto the background and the card is done.

I´ve again recorded a start-to-finish video for you to watch. I hope it gives you an even better idea on each and every step of this card.

I hope you enjoy this little card tutorial and get inspired to create fun wintery cards yourself! Wishing you all a nice January!!

Happy crafting,
xxx, Sanna

Christmas Gift Tags

December 10, 2020

Hey Crafters! Katelyn here, sharing with you my Christmas Gift Tags.

To create my Christmas Gift Tags, I’ve used a variety of the dies from the Planner Essentials Collection as well as stamps from Sue Smith. You’ll want to read below as I share with you how to recreate my gift tags at home.

Step One. Grab the Hugs and Noel Stamp Set. From the Noel stamp set, you’ll need the Holy Night words. Apply Emboss It Ink to the stamp and stamp onto a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Sprinkle Gothic Black Modern Gilding Powder over the words. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. From the Noel stamp set, you’ll need the Christmas word and from the Hugs stamp set you’ll need the Merry word. Apply Emboss It Ink to both stamps and stamp onto a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Sprinkle Copper Scroll Modern Gilding Powder over the words. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. From the Hugs stamp set, you’ll need the Merry and Wishes words. Apply Emboss It Ink to both stamps and stamp onto a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Sprinkle Kells Gold Modern Gilding Powder over the words. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. Cut all the words into strips, make sure that the Holy Night words stay as one strip. Ink the edges of the word strips using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Step Two. Choose a piece of red patterned paper from the Reminiscence Paper Pack. You’ll also need a piece of gold patterned paper. Die cut the plain nutcracker from the Planner Essentials 34 – Christmas Figures out of the red patterned paper. From the same die set, die cut the detailed nutcracker out of the gold patterned paper. Ink the edges of both images using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Step Three. Choose a piece of green patterned paper from the Reminiscence Paper Pack. You’ll also need a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Die cut the plain tree from the Planner Essentials 34 – Christmas Figures out of the green patterned paper. From the same die set, die cut the detailed tree out of White Soft Finish Cardstock.

Step Four. Choose a piece of cream and red patterned paper from the Reminiscence Paper Pack. You’ll also need a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock and black cardstock. Die cut the plain snowman from the Planner Essentials 34 – Christmas Figures out of the White Soft Finish Cardstock. From the same die set, die cut the detailed snowman out of the cream patterned paper. Die cut the hat part of the plain snowman out of the red patterned paper. Trim the hat to fit so you don’t see any over hang when the detailed snowman goes over top. From the same die set, die cut the buttons and eyes out of black cardstock. Ink the edges of the hat using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Step Five. Adhere the detailed nutcracker to the red nutcracker.

Step Six. Adhere the Holy Night word strip to the nutcracker wherever you’d like.

Step Seven. Adhere the detailed tree to the green tree.
