Snow Day with Kate Hadfield Designs

 

Hello everyone!  Now that we are well and truly in the depths of a snowy

winter, today I'll be sharing this adorable card using products from

Snow Day Digital Stamp Set

This digital stamp set has 16 images to choose from!  That is a tremendous

amount of crafty goodness!  Let me show you how I made my edge to edge

shaker Snow Day card!

I started by composing my design in my computer.  I use Word as a program

and I have an inkjet printer.  I usually print out my image and let it sit over-

night.  When I do that I never have any ink smears from coloring.

Once that was printed out, I trimmed it to a workable size.  I would trim

it to the size I need later.  I used XPress-It card stock to print on.  I

decided to color my images with Copic markers.

I chose my background paper before coloring.  That way I would be able

to color match my images.  The paper I used is from Whimsy Stamps

called Blurry Flurries.  I also trimmed off to my horizon line.

I cut a small strip from the bottom of the paper I was using for I would

have a bit of a snowbank and that would give my card a bit of

dimension.  Copic colors I used:  Blender, 100, B000, C0, C3, W0, E33,

E35, E15,Y15, YR15, YR07, R02, R17, BG10, BG11.  After my image

was colored I used Stickles in Twinkle on the snow, snowballs, the

pompoms of the hat and the top edge of the extra narrow panel.  I

then adhered the back piece of patterned paper to the front piece and

also the snowbank in the front.

I adhered some larger snowflakes around the top part of the card.

I die cut my sentiment using white card stock.  I colored the

actual words with a Copic marker.  Next it was time to put the

shaker together.  I used packing from a stamp set for the acetate

and I stretched that over the front and secured it in the back with

double sided tape.  Before adhering the last edge I put in my

shaker bits.

Now that the shaker element of my card was done, now it was time for the

rest of the card.  I took an A2 size white card base and adhered some light

blue card stock onto it about 1/4" smaller.  Then I adhered the shaker panel

on top.  I added thin sparkly peel-offs between the white base and the 

light blue panel.  And that finished my card!

This card was so much fun to make and it really wasn't that

complicated!  Find the digital stamp set I used for this project
