Glittered pink trees and a snowy background set the scene for a design from our 2021 Holiday Collection. Hi, Jean Okimoto here – hope you’re having a great weekend!
Snowmen usually wear a black tophat – but this snowgal has a poufy red hat instead. Her trees are pink, not their usual green, and it appears to be snowing indoors.
Attach Flurries Wide Washi Tape to black cardstock. Cover it with a sheet of printer paper and run it through the diecut machine between the usual plates to eliminate tiny wrinkles and airpockets. Cut it with the Snowman House Frame – we’re using just the interior section here.
Cut the frame from white cardstock and again from gray cardstock. Attach the snowflake section to the white frame leave a small gap to insert the snowgal. Attach the gray frame behind it to add dimension and a little contrast on the top and right edges.
Cut the trees from 2 shades of pink in the Berry Red 6×6 Collection. Assemble the trees . Shake the Open Studio Orange Sherbet Glitter Glue vigorously – then squirt ¼” dots of it on each tree section. Apply the glitter glue with your finger – use a light tapping motion. Set the trees aside to dry.
Cut the snowman from the smoother side of Memory Box Watercolor Paper. Color the twiggy arms with a marker. Tuck a bit of scrap paper under the carrot nose and carefully color the nose with a marker. Cut the scarf from the dark red 6×6 in the Glitzy Glitter Pad. Cut another snowgal from black cardstock, remove the arms. Attach the black diecut behind the white diecut for dimension.
The hat is a DIY project – it’s a little fidgety, but it works! Cut the red glitter sheet with the tips of the 2 tree sections that have rounded tops instead of pointy tops. Trim them to fit behind the head – attach the larger piece first, then add the smaller piece. Tuck the snowgal behind the inner edge of the frame. Attach the trees – use foamtape for the big tree.
Tie the frame with silver cord. Curl the cord with the side of a bonefolder or the plastic flower burnishing tool.
Cut the greeting background from white cardstock. Pressure-emboss it with the delicate greeting – use the rubber mat and plate(s) required for your machine. Cut the greeting from a pink 6×6 in the Berry Red Collection. Assemble the greeting. Embossing the background makes it easier to attach the delicate diecut and adds dimension.
Attach the diecuts to a white A6 card (4-½” x 6-¼”).
