If you are interested in a variety of fun cards to make for the holidays, this Freezin’ Fun Snowflake Card might just get your creative juices flowing with ideas. There are so many possibilities with this stamp set and bundle, whether you “just stamp” or use the dies and create a whole winter scene.
I have to admit, this Freezin’ Fun Stamp Set was not one that I was interested in in the least in the Holiday Catalog. But then, recently, I saw some super-cute samples and I had to have it! The little critters are so cute and you can use one or all of them to show them having fun in the snow! Stamp them in Memento Ink and color in with Stampin’ Blends or Watercolor Pencils, perhaps.
There are also Freezin’ Friends Dies to go along with the stamp set. This makes it easy to die-cut the characters and as many trees as you want plus all the other fun things that are in the stamp set. If you want to save 10% on the stamp set and dies, buy the Freezin’ Fun Bundle.
To make this card I started with a card base of Pool Party. That color just reminded me of coolness and ice so I thought it would work for this card. For the layer, I embossed the Whisper White piece with the Winter Snow Embossing Folder to make a snowy background easily!
There is an odd long die that you can use to make a snowy hill. I die-cut two pieces, one higher than the other, for the snow for my characters to sled and ski down! You can just make these different widths and then layer then however you like. They have a pretty stitched edge, too. I popped up the back snowhill with Stampin’ Dimensionals and then adhered the front one directly on top of the back one.
The bunny and the raccoon are stamped and colored, the die-cut. I used the new Magnetic Plate with my new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and it worked perfectly. It is a self-healing mat and is actually used as a cutting plate, plus is magnetic all over! In fact, you are encouraged to place your dies around different spots on the Magnetic Plate, not just in the center, to help it wear better. I stamped and colored a bunch of large and small trees, to save a couple for another card.
This isn’t necessarily a card you want to make a bunch of because it takes a little time with the die-cutting. But you will be able to make so many fun cards and other projects with this Bundle or even just the stamp set.
Then I had to try out the new Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes! The description says they are two colors, Iridescent and Just Jade. I can certainly tell they are Iridescent. I thought maybe there were some pinks in there too! Anyway, they are pretty and I stuck a few on this card right on top of the embossed snowflakes. Also on the greeting, which is included in the Freezin’ Fun Stamp Set.
