Snow Wonder Bundle - with Inked Embossing Folder background technique

 


Thank you for joining us for our Stampin' Up!® Demonstrator Training Program Monthly Blog Hop! We are so happy that you could join us today for this blog hop for ideas and creative inspiration. We are a group of Stampin' Up!® Demonstrators from around the world that are taking part in training that is helping us to build a successful Stampin' Up!® business and reach our goals. We really appreciate your support.

The theme for this blog hop is “Customer Thank You Cards”. I love making cards for my customers to show my appreciation for their support. Here is the card I created for customers who shop with me in November 2020. The inside will be blank, so you can pass it on if you choose.  I hope I get to send one to you!



The colors monochromatic, so I could focus on this cute snowman from the Snow Wonder Bundle. I used an easy Inked Embossing Folder background technique. Making your own backgrounds can be so much fun. All you need is an ink pad, a sponge brayer and an embossing folder. I used paper a little larger than I needed, so I could cut it down and use the leftover strips for the inside of the card or the envelope. 

Cleanup is a breeze ... just rinse the embossing folder under water and dry. The sponge can be rinsed also and air dry or dry with a rag if you are in a hurry to use it with a different color.

The example below shows the difference when you use more ink or less ink on the folder. You can get a light or dark color. 



For this card, I inked up the side of the embossing folder with the Stampin' Up! logo.



If you ink up the other side of the embossing folder, you will get this result:



TIP: To save paper, I stamped and die cut the snowman from the front whisper white layer, before I put the card together.




To make the snowdrifts, I used In The Woods dies. (You could cut them freehand if you prefer.) Next, I stamped the sentiment (from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set). Finally, I embossed the snowdrifts with the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder. I love this look for snow. I layered the bottom snowbank directly to the embossed layer. I used Stampin' Dimensionals for the snowman and the top snowbank.

I colored the snowman with watercolor pencils, then added a little Wink of Stella for some sparkle.


I had so much fun making this card, I decided to make some Christmas cards, too.


Here are the supplies I used. Click on item to for more information.
