Project Inspiration: Believe in the Wonder and Magic of Christmas with Brenda Noelke

Hello, friends!! Brenda back with you to share another Project Inspiration project!! I have a soft spot for snowmen so I fell head-over-heels for the Cover Plate: Snowman Die Set from the latest release!! I couldn’t wait to combine it with other die sets to create a winter scene for my card today!!

Supplies:

Stamps: Larger Than Life Sentiments: Believe
Dies: Cover Plate: Snowman, Cover Plate: Let It Snow, Build-A-Christmas Tree, Hold That Thought
Ink: Spring Rain, Blueberry Sky, Dark Indigo, Pure Poppy
Cardstock: Spring Rain, New Leaf, Pure Poppy, Pale Peony, True Black, Orange Zest, Dark Chocolate, Stamper’s Select White
Other supplies: Spellbinders Treasured Antique Cardstock (brushed metallic), Dr. PH Marten’s white bleed-proof ink, black pearls

Step-by-step Instructions:

Step 1: Blend Spring Rain, Blueberry Sky and Dark Indigo inks around the perimeter of an A2 panel of Spring Rain cardstock. Splatter with diluted white bleed-proof ink using a paintbrush.

Step 2: Die-cut the tree from the Build-A-Christmas Tree Die Set twice from New Leaf cardstock and adhere them to the background, trimming the excess from the edges. Splatter with more white bleed-proof ink.

Step 3: Die-cut the Cover Plate: Let It Snow Die from Stamper’s Select White cardstock. Trim away the center snowflakes and sentiment, then adhere to the background.

Step: 4: Die-cut the Cover Plate: Snowman Die from Stamper’s Select White cardstock and adhere to the front of the background panel.

Step 5: Die-cut the snowman, snowbank and accessories in the Cover Plate: Snowman Die Set from white glitter, Pure Poppy, Spring Rain, Pale Peony, Orange Zest, Dark Chocolate and True Black cardstock. Add a bit of Blueberry Sky and Spring Rain inks onto the blue accessories using a blending brush and adhere all the snowman die-cuts together with liquid glue. Die-cut snowflakes and snowballs in the Cover Plate: Let It Snow Die Set from Stamper’s Select White and white glitter cardstock. Adhere snowflakes, snowbank, snowman and snowballs to the background. Add black beads for the snowman’s eyes.

Step 6: Die-cut “Believe” from the Cover Plate: Snowman Die Set from white glitter and Pure Poppy cardstock and adhere them over the die-cut sentiment on the background, slightly offsetting the top layer. Stamp the supporting sentiment, from the Larger Than Life Sentiments: Believe Stamp Set, onto Stamper’s Select White cardstock with Pure Poppy ink. Die-cut it with a die from the Hold That Thought Die Set and adhere it with foam squares to finish off the card.
