Christmas Crew Snowman Tile Decor

Isn't this snowman just so cute!
He just makes me smile.
 
This is one of the projects that everyone who attended my 
Holiday Extravaganza made. 
 
I stamped this cute snowman onto a tile for a decor.
It will be something I can sit on my shelf & enjoy through the upcoming winter months! 
  
How did I do it?

  • I stamped using Memento ink onto the tile.
  • I then colored it using my Stampin' Blends.
 
 I have a cork square piece on the back side of this tile.
I WILL NOT use this as a coaster, as I don't want it to get wet.
I will display it on an easel stand & use a a decor.
 
 NOTE:  
Want to make a coaster tile to put your glass onto?
You could do this, but be very careful. 
You CAN lightly seal it using a Rust-Oleum Clear Gloss spray.
But be sure you use a very LIGHT spray & let it dry completely.
You can spray a few times to get a nice coat on it.
BUT know that IF you add too much spray over it, it will run & you'll ruin the stamped image on the tile!
I highly suggest that if you want to make a tile to use to put your glass onto that you use Stazon ink, a simple stamp design & little or no coloring on it.  
++++++++++++ 

Here are the supplies I used.
stamp set:  'Christmas Crew' (snowman)
ink:  Memento
Stampin' Blends:  Real Red; Balmy Blue; Basic Black; Bronze; Pecan Pie; Pumpkin Pie
SU! products now retired:  Dazzling Diamonds Glitter; 2 Way Glue Pen
 
I hope you have a FABULOUS Friday!
Happy Stamping!

Winter Adventures Fun Inside Z Fold Card

WOW!
Look at this beautiful card. 
This is a winter wonderland!
I am so impressed with this amazing bundle.
This is a totally Susie card. 
 
Notice the Peaceful Pine Shimmer I added to the trees! 
 I used the
#168312- Winter Adventures Bundle= $51.25 
 
This is one of the cards that everyone joining me at my
Holiday Extravaganza made.
 
This card has a fun inside Z Fold "surprise"!
Now isn't this cool!
Check it out when it is standing up!
I put a battery tea light behind the vellum 'windows'.
It is just so pretty when you see it in person!
 
I put adhesive sheets onto the Basic White/Peaceful Pine card stock 
before I die cut the trees & snowflakes.
This made it so much easier to stick them onto the card front & vellum arches.
 
The trees/circle on the card front is an Impressions Die that can cut 
AND then you run it through again to emboss it & add the textural details.
NOTE:  You will need the Impressions Plate to get the deep embossed look with it.
 So what do you think of this card?
I hope you like it as much as I do. 
Here are the supplies & measurements.
stamp set:  'Winter Adventures'
card stock:
  • Peaceful Pine- 4 1/4 x 11"- score at 5 1/2"
  • Two-Tone Peaceful Pine- 3 1/2 x 4"- die cut oval/tree image & the emboss it using the Impressions Plate to get more detail in it 
  • Peaceful Pine- 4" strip- add adhesive sheets to the back side & die cut trees 
  • Basic White-1/2" strip- stamp words onto for card front
  • White Willow- 4 x 12"- score at 3", 6" & 9"- die cut arches in the 2 center pieces as shown in the photo above
  • Basic White- 3/4 x 2 3/4"- stamp words for inside of card & adhere
  • Vellum- 3 x 4" (x2)- I adhered by lightly using liquid 
designer paper:
  • Alphine Winter DSP- punch out 2 3/8" Circle
  • Wood Grain Wonders DSP- 4 x 4"
  • 2026-2028 In Color Gingham DSP- Peaceful Pine- 1 1/4 x 4" 
ink:  Peaceful Pine
other:  Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine; Winter Adventures Dies; Impressions Plate; Everday Arches Dies; Adhesive Sheets; Peaceful Pine 3/8" Bordered Ribbon; Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels; Peaceful Pine Shimmer Brush; 2 3/8" Circle Punch; dimensionals
NOTE:  IF you have the 2 1/2" Circle Punch it works perfectly for punching out the DSP.  When you use the 2 3/8" Circle Punch there will be alittle space in the bottom left corner that you can hide with die cut tree. 
 
I hope you have a great Thursday!
Happy Stamping!
