The Royal Blog Tour Featuring Serene Snowflakes

Welcome to my Castle!

It is so great to see you visiting during the Royal Blog Tour.  I am happy to share with you my take on one of my long time favorite stamp sets Serene Snowflakes (115438).  I hope that you "royally" enjoy your time here viewing the projects I've prepared for your visit. 

Before you leave be sure to check out my Blog Candy in previous post.

 For my first card I’ve kept it a very simple style, monotone.  Nothing shouts out Christmas more than snowflakes and ornaments so I simply paired up the two.  I’ve also dusted off my heat gun and hunted down my embossing powder to highlight the snowflake stamped onto the Baja Breeze punched out ornament.

For my second card I’ve added a bit of vintage with the crochet trim and fraying the ends of the taffeta ribbon.  After putting the snowflakes on my card I was about to add a verse but when I rummaged thru my stamps I came across one of our very popular single stamps, Dasher and decided to mix it up a bit.  Don’t you think he looks great with some snow falling over him.  What is really hard to see in the photo is the embossing on the left edge that I did with the Northern Flurry Embossing Folder.

For my third card I’ve used a technique I absolutely LOVE called stained glass.  The vellum cardstock is perfect for this it just adds so much class to a card.  I decided to use the largest snowflake image in the set so that I could take advantage of the large areas that I could color with my marker.  My newest favorite Cherry Cobbler seam binding is a perfect match for the gold embossing this card features.

For my final card I went a little more playful with the color combo.  This design was all about SNOW!  I am so not a cold weather girl but snow is just so beautiful as it is coming down that it can make you want to try.
