Stamp Review Crew - Snow Crystal


HAPPY NEW YEAR and welcome to the Stamp Review Crew's SNOW CRYSTAL edition! We're happy to see you for the very first Stamp Review Crew hop of 2024! If you landed here from Debra's blog, Heartfelt Inkspiration, welcome! There are four of us today, so the hop shouldn't take long.


Snow Crystal is one of the Stampin' Up! cling background stamps, and pairs well with other sentiment or image stamps. Since Christmas has just passed, I'm going with a winter and New Year's theme today. First up....the new year!


Snow Crystal was stamped on a Crumb Cake background using White Craft ink and then heat embossed in white.


The greeting (Year to Celebrate) was heat embossed in black on vellum cardstock, and the numbers were cut from More Dazzle Specialty Paper, then glued to the vellum. On the back side of the vellum, I carefully added thin lines of liquid glue behind the greeting and numbers to adhere it to the card without any adhesive showing. That whole panel was then popped up on dimensionals to the Crumb Cake card base.


The winter card started with Snow Crystal stamped in Balmy Blue (stamped off once) on a Basic White panel, then embossed with the Snowflake Sky 3D folder. It was then adhered to the card base with Stampin' Seal.


The label behind the greeting was stamped (Sparkling Snowflakes) in Balmy Blue stamped off twice. It was cut with a Thoughtful Expressions (coming soon!) die, and snowflakes (from Chic Dies) were cut from vellum and Holographic Trio Specialty Paper and adhered to the back.


The label was popped up on the card and the greeting was stamped and fussy cut before being popped up on the label.

Happy Holidays from the Control Freaks!

The Freaky theme this month is Happy Holidays! And what holiday is that, you might ask? The theme is ANY holiday, so this is going to be a fun hop. You never know what the Freaks might choose! If you landed here from Melissa’s blog, welcome! There are five of us, so hop on for more inspiration!

I'm making this a very quick post. Our son arrived for a visit this afternoon with his girlfriend that we are just now getting to meet, so I'm going to post two cards and scram so I can spend more time with them! 💕

I went right to the Celebrate Everything Host DSP, because it has a design for just about everything. It's 48 sheets of 12 x 12 paper! It's on page 87 of the Jul-Dec mini, and is one of the Host Rewards you can earn with a qualifying order or party. It will only be available until Jan. 4 (while supplies last).


The first card is Christmas-themed with the whimsical ornaments DSP, which I thought would pair well with the embossed Whimsical Woodland strip. Because the sentiment (from Brightest Glow) says All is Merry and BRIGHT, I had to add some bright gold glimmer paper and pearls.


The second card uses the fireworks pattern, which I thought was appropriate for a New Years card.


I liked the way the sentiment fit on the top half of the Beautiful Shapes hexagon leaving room for the silver cord and silver pearls below.


That's all from me today! Up next is Bree, at Craft-somnia Momma.
