Happy Wednesday, crafty friends! I've got one final holiday card to share with you that I had totally forgotten about! I created this card live on my personal YouTube channel a couple weeks ago, but then didn't get around to sharing it here. I think it turned out so fun, so I wanted to make sure I shared it before the seaon was totally over. The great thing is you could totally create this card, then add a wintry sentiment rather than a holiday sentiment...and send it out now!
Speaking of lives, I'm going to have a more difinitive live schedule on my personal channel this year. When we move back to Montana, I will likely need a bit of a pause...but I will be sure to share when that will be as we get closer. Starting the second weekend in January after the upcoming holiday weekend, I will be doing lives on Sundays at 2pm CT. My live schedule on the Pinkfresh channel is going to be a little bit less this year, so on the weeks I'm not live on Tuesday, I will also plan an evening livestream. I'm thinking either Wednesday or Thursday, but haven't ultimately decided yet. I'm looking forward to connecting with you more via live crafting sessions, and I hope you will join me!
Blushing Peony Joy card
Card size: A2 - 4.25" x 5.5" (inches)
FEATURED PRODUCTS - complete supply list, linked to multiple sources.
You can watch my card come together on my YouTube Live video below. Here is a quick overview of how to do it, in case watching videos isn't your thing:
- Step 1 - Stamp & heat emboss the Blooming Peony image in white embossing powder to white cardstock.
- Step 2 - Ink blend the image with the coordinating layering stencils in gray, reds, greens and blue, then splatter with white acrylic ink.
- Step 3 - Foil the JOY sentiment in Polished Brass foil, then reverse foil the leftover with the Solid Hot Foil Plate.
- Step 4 - Stamp the Snowflakes Background in Sapphire, then stamp over top in embossing ink. Cover in iridescent sparkle embossing powder & heat set.
- Step 5 - Diecut the Blooming Peony panel with the largest Stitched Rectangle, then the JOY sentiment and the blue snowflakes with the coordinating dies.
- Step 6 - Stamp the secondary sentiment from the Ornaments stamp set, and trim into a thin strip.
- Step 7 - Adhere the floral panel to a white A2 card base using a full sheet of foam adhesive.
- Step 8 - Layer the sentiment to the lower right corner, popping the layers up with foam adhesive.
- Step - Accent the middle of the red flowers with Ruby glitter drops to finish.
I get asked often what I used to create my full sheets of foam adhesive. I cut down sheets of white craft foam to 3.75 x 5 inches for A2 sized cards, then use 5-inch ScorTape to back each side with adhesive. P.S. There is currently a 5% off coupon avaialble on Amazon for the white craft foam sheets. I don't know how long it will be there, but yay for extra savings!
I've found this to be the most cost effective way to get these big panels of foam adhesive, which makes sure my cards aren't saggy. Because let's be real....no one likes a saggy card. Lol! ;)
Before I close up, I wanted to mention that my Crafty Sale page is updated, and I'm also currently work on my FAVORITES page! It currently only has my Amazon list, and my must haves for ink & ink blending...but my hope is to have it completley finished by the end of 2022.
