Good mid-week, peeps! Let's get right down to business speedily, okay? Ta da...
Now, I threw "speedily" in there for a reason. I'm playing at As You See It Change #265 - Speedy Snowflakes. For the speed stamping, you can design your card in your head or sketch it out first. You can gather all your supplies ahead of time. BUT once you start the cutting, stamping, die cutting, embossing, etc., you need to start your stopwatch! It took me 7 min. 49 seconds.
My inspiration came from Owl Star Stampers.
My card base is Night of Navy (5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"). To that I adhered a Basic White panel (5 1/4" x 4"). The Beauty of the Earth DSP mat measures 3 3/4" x 3 3/4". I adhered that at the top of the Basic White panel and then stamped my sentiment from the retired Snowflake Sentiments Stamp Set in Night of Navy at the bottom.
I took a snowflake from the Wonderful Snowflakes and sponged it with silver ink. I adhered it to the card front with a Stampin' Dimensional.
Next I ran my Impression Obsession snowflake die through my embossing machine. The silver foil is also retired SU. I couldn't find my current SU Silver Foil Specialty Pack. I adhered two of the small snowflakes to the front with liquid glue. Then I ran a piece of navy 1/4" Dollar Store ribbon around the card front, tied a knot and adhered the panel to the card base.
My time would have been shorter but I had a problem getting that faux bow tied and I had to run my die through a couple of times for the snowflakes.
The inside took no time at all.
I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy and three snowflakes in silver. I took another of the die cut snowflakes and adhered it because I had a halo from the snowflake stamp. I'm sure you know all about those halos. I hate it when that happens!
I'm also entering my card at Little Red Wagon - Do They Know It's Christmas, Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge #572 and at her Patterned Paper December 2021 Challenge.
Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you'll return tomorrow for our Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop.
