The Altenew Thoughts & Reminders Stamp Set has so many great sayings! I did a Graffiti Card and Art Journal Page but some of the words are perfect all by themselves! “Believe” is one of my favorite holiday concepts so I used it to create this Snowflake Card using an Ocean Blue Craft Metal Sheet.
- The base card is Shimmer White Cardstock – 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ – scored and folded at 4 1/4″.
- The Ocean Blue Craft Metal Sheet was cut at 4″ x 5 1/4″ and adhered to the card stock with Score-Tape.
- SU! Snowflake Framelits were used to cut the White Shimmer Paper and Ocean Blue Craft Metal. They were layered on top of each other using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A Snowflake Charm was adhered to the center of the Snowflake using Glue Dots.
- An Embossing Buddy was rubbed over the bottom right corner of the Ocean Blue Craft Metal.
- “Believe” was stamped in White Craft Ink and embossed with White Embossing Powder and a Heat Tool.
Graffiti Card:
- Water based Markers – SU! Lost Lagoon and Melon Mambo – were used to color the words in various stamps from the Thoughts & Reminders Stamp Set and stamped onto Whisper White Cardstock.
- The White Cardstock was layered on a Lost Lagoon Card 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ – Scored and folded at 4 1/4″.
- AALD Craft Metal Sheets and Framelits were used to create Sequins which were them applied to the card using Glue Dots.
- Tags were created using TH Tag Framelits to cut the Tags.
- They were then embossed using TH Latticework Texture Fade, a No More Shims Pad and the Big Shot.
- A piece of Baby Blue Metal Sheet was cut using the TH Tag Framelits and embossed.
- “Be Yourself…” was stamped in Lost Lagoon Ink onto a piece of Whisper White Cardstock.
- It was then cut and attached to the Tag.
- The Framelits were used to cut a Reinforcer from a Pucker Me Pink Craft Metal Sheet.
- Crinkle Ribbon was dyed using Distress Stains and attached to the Tag.
- The Pucker Me Pink Tag was created in the same way.
- The Art Journal Pages were created by attaching TH Tissue Tape to the pages.
- Various Stamps from the Thoughts & Reminders Stamp Set were stamped onto the pages.
- Pearlescent Embossing Paste was applied through the TH Lattice Stencil onto the pages and allowed to dry.
- Craft Metal Sheet Sequins were attached to the pages using Glue Dots.
- The Pucker Me Pink Tag was attached to the Page using Foam Tape.
