Holiday Bundles Remarkable Blog Hop

By now, you might know that the Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog is live and that you can purchase the heck out of it.  To get you started and give you lots of ideas, the Remarkables are featuring bundles from the holiday catalog for this month's blog hop.

I'm going to wow you (I hope) with a Christmas card created with the Flurry of Wishes bundle.  The bundle features a beautiful photopolymer snowflake stamp set with a matching punch that punches out the two smallest snowflakes.

So, without any further ado, check out my beautiful creation!


Isn't it lovely? 
 The colors are Pool Party and Real Red with silver embossing for the snowflakes.  I made the background strip on our Shimmery White card stock.  I used my Stamp and Write markers in Pool Party and Island Indigo to color on the Softly Falling textured impressions embossing folder (also new in the Holiday catalog) then I spritzed it with water and pressed my piece of paper with just my hands inside.  I dried it with my heat tool.  Then I stamped the medium snowflakes in Versamark ink and used the silver embossing powder and heat tool to make the magic.  Here's a closer look:


I can't help being excited, it's so pretty!

I also stamped and embossed the smaller snowflakes on vellum paper and then punched them out.  I used pretty much every kind of silver ribbon we have to accent the greeting.  Which you can see a bit closer here:


I know you are wondering, where did she get that super cute red stripe washi tape?  It's from the Hello December 2015 Project Life Accessory Pack, also in the holiday catalog.

And finally, here's a look at the inside:


I stamped off to have a softer feel for the background snowflakes.

I hope you enjoyed my project!  For more inspiration, see below.

Stay Crafty!
