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"

• Basic White- 3/4 x 2 3/4"- stamp words for inside of card & adhere

designer paper:

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!
