I made a Christmas card with the new Endless Wishes set from Stampin’ Up! It is an adorable snowflake stamp set with perfect interchangeable sentiments and it literally took minutes to put this card together!
I heat embossed the snowflakes using Pool Party, Silver and White Embossing powder and then added the All is Calm Washi tape and stamped the sentiment over the top in Black Stazon.
It is such a beautiful sunny Autumn day here today I struggled to photograph my sample and to really show you the colours of the embossing but perhaps this image is better….
It is so delicate, like real snowflakes! I added a final flourish with some Frosted Sequins and added a rhinestone in the centre as I did not like seeing the little hole in the sequin. A little fancy mounting and corner rounding and it was done….. I think I have found my Christmas card design for this year now all I need to do is make them.
Here is the sketch we used this week –

September 4, 2014 at 2:22 amI amy have found my Christmas card too Michelle! This is so lovely! Mind if I case it?
Geann says
September 4, 2014 at 6:42 pmHow do you emboss the colors separately? I think this card is so pretty. Do you stamp one certain snowflake and then emboss just the silver on that snowflake? and then the next color? Is there a video showing this technique? So happy to find your blog.

September 6, 2014 at 8:49 amDo you know Geann, it is the first time I have tried embossing on the same project with different colours and it was so easy. I stamped all the snowflakes I wanted to be in pool party and heat set those, then stamped and embossed the next colour and so on, I was worried that the powder may stick to the previous snowflake but they didn’t there was no cross contamination! I have had my sister making another 40 of these and it was a breeze! No video at the moment but if I get a moment I will make one next week, it is simple though, try it! xx PS I am glad you found me too!
