5 Stenciled Snowflake Cards

Hello Friends!

I feel like it has been awhile since I posted but today I have a rainbow set of cards to share that all feature techniques with the Snowflake Trio Stencil. I had fun experimenting with different things to do with the stencil while making a clean and simple set of cards. There are lot of pictures in this post but there is also a video tutorial if you make it all the way to the bottom. 🙂

For all of these cards I used the same snowflake on the stencil, which was the smallest of the three.

For my first two cards I made a backgrounds with strips of cardstock and die cut them with a stitched rectangle. On the diagonal stripe background I used some pearly white paste through the stencil for my snowflake. For the horizontal stripe background I applied translucent texture paste through the stencil then dumped prisma glitter on it to create my own glitter paste. This is a trick I learned from my friend Jenn Shurkus. I mounted both of these colorful panels on white card bases.

For my next card I ink blended through the stencil to create a rainbow snowflake, then I did the same as before and applied translucent texture paste and prisma glitter over top.  Since the paste is translucent you can see the bright ink colors through it for a glittery rainbow snowflake. For some slight contrast I mounted this on onto a Fog cardstock base.

Card number 4 uses a product that is new to me, Thermoweb Deco Foil Transfer Gel Duo. This gel allows you to do foiling on your projects without needing to use a laminator. You simply let the gel dry and then run it through your die cut machine with the foil. The pressure of the machine will transfer the foil to the gel. I used Rainbow Shattered Glass foil and layered a rectangle of holographic cardstock behind my snowflake panel. I also used a fog cardstock base for this card.

For my fifth and final trick today I made a card that did not use any gel or paste because not everyone has that supply in their stash. But I bet you have some white embossing powder! So for this one I took my clear embossing ink pad directly to the stencil and squished it right onto the paper getting a nice inky snowflake. Then I added the white embossing powder on top and heated it up to melt it. This left me with a shiny white snowflake on my panel. Next I ink blended all the colors of ink over the snowflake which resisted the ink. I buffed off any ink on the embossing with a dry paper towel leaving a bright white flake on a colorful background.

These were super fun to make and I really enjoyed experimenting with different techniques through the stencil. I used the same Joyful Wishes sentiment for all of my cards white embossing it on die cut sentiment banners.

If you want to see how I created all of these cards you can check them out in the video below or HERE on my YouTube channel.

Thanks so much for stopping by today
