Snowy Die Cut Card by Amanda Wilcox

Let it snow!

Today we are sharing TWO fun techniques using our Let it Snow and Snowfall die sets by Amanda. 

First, Amanda created a scallop edged panel using our Frames & Flags Die Set. She covered the panel in splatters of blue, grey and white. She also striped background by cutting out strips of paper in shades of blue and light teal and adhering them to a second panel. She used both of the pieces with her first die cutting technique.

Die cutting technique 1:

Amanda chose three snowflakes and their shadow (background layer) from our new Snowfall Die Set.  She decided where she wanted the snowflakes to appear on her card. Then she used the outer shadow dies for the snowflakes and cut them directly from the white scalloped panel. She also cut the snowflakes from white cardstock and set them aside. Then she layered everything together. She added the white panel on top so that the stripes showed through the openings of the snowflake shadows. Next, she adhered the snowflakes inside each matching opening from the top layer.  What a fun and unique way to use the layered snowflakes in the Snowfall Die Set.

Die cutting technique 2:

She created the message using our Let it Snow Die Set. She cut the message out three times using different shades of blue and light teal paper. She then glued them together, placing them just slightly offset so that you can see all three colors.What a fun way to use your sentiment dies! 

This beautiful card really shows some fun ways to use die cuts on your cards! I hope you will give them a try and discover how versatile die cutting can be!

Merry Cocktail Card by Samantha Mann

Merry Little Cocktails!

Celebrate the season with a merry little cocktail! Today Samantha has created an adorable holiday card featuring our Christmas Cocktails Stamp Set and Plaid Stencil Set. 

Samantha stamped all the cocktails from our Christmas Cocktails Stamp Set. Isn't it cute how they all have Christmas elements on the garnishes and stir sticks? She colored the glasses using alcohol markers in a soft rainbow of colors. 

For her card she masked off the bottom of the card and inked the top using pink and peach distress inks. Then she added the plaid pattern over the top using our Plaid Stencil Set. This stencil set has two pieces that you can overlap and ink with two colors for a two color plaid but on this card she used white paste on both of the layers and that has a beautiful effect too! 

She removed her masking tape and added the cocktail glasses along the bottom edge of the inked area using dimensional adhesives to pop them up. The finishing touch is the sentiment "have yourself a merry little cocktail." She embossed the message onto black cardstock with white embossign powder and fussy cut it out by hand before adding it to her card. 

We love the festive cheer this holiday card has! It would be perfect for an invite to a holiday happy hour too!

Sparkly Snowman Card by Diane Morales

Snow-one Else Like You!

With snowy weather in the forecasts we are looking forward to some snow days spent in our craft rooms! Today we are sharing a beautiful snow filled card by Diane featuring our Falling Snow Toner Card Fronts and our Snowman Greetings Stamp Set. 

To start out Diane created a gorgeous snowy background using the pretty snowflake panel from our Falling Snow Toner Card Fronts. She added sparkle to the panel using a heat laminator and silver foil. Then she cut it out using the large postage edged die from our Framework Die Set. 

For her image she chose the cute snowman from our Snowman Greetings Stamp Set. In this fun image the snowman is holding a tall sign and the set includes several sentiments that fit on the sign. For her card today Diane used "snow-one else like you." She colored the image with alcohol markers and added some snowy effects onto the snowy top of the sign! So pretty! She layered the snowman over a vellum oval that was cut out using our Oval Frames Die Set. 

We hope you enjoyed this snowy card today! If you get snow days where you live, make sure to take time on your snowy days to create! If not, take a sunny day and create some snow in your craft room!

Let it Snow Flat Shaker Card by Farhana Sarker

Let it Snow!!

Today we are sharing another clean and simple card by Farhana. For this card she features our Let it Snow Die Set and Snowfall Die Set to create a simpler flat shaker card. 

She created the background by ink blending a card panel with distress inks in tones of mint, purple and pink. She then inserted the panel into a clear envelope and added some glitter before sealing it to create a glittery shaker background for her card. 

She then created snowy front of the card by die cutting three snowflakes out of the a white card front panel using our  Snowfall Die Set. She adhered this to the clear envelope, adding back in the inner pieces of the snowflakes that had been separated when they were cut off the edges of the white panel. 

To create the sentiment in the center she ink blended another piece of cardstock using the same ink colors as the background. She then die cut the sentiment using our Let it Snow Die Set.  

We love the simplicity of this card and how it is made special by the glitter and ink blending!

Let it Snow Card by Donna Idlet

Let it Snow!

Are you ready for snow? We already had one snowy day at NND Headquarters. It melted right away but it did remind us that the holidays will be here soon! 

Today we are sharing a gorgeous snowy card by Donna featuring our new Let it Snow and Snowfall die sets! 

To create this beautiful card Donna cut out a teal stitched paper panel using our Basic Frames Die Set. Then she cut out a bunch of snowflakes using our new Snowfall Die Set. She layered each snowflake, stacking three of the same shape to create dimension. She then layered the snowflakes over the teal stitched panel and then cut off the parts that extended beyond the edges of the panel. 

Next she cut out the message using our Let it Snow Die Set. She cut the words out three times, stacked them for dimension and then added glossy accents to the top. This die set includes a shadow die too and she cut that out of vellum and layered it behind the words. So beautiful! 

 She adhered the teal stitched panel over a white scalloped frame that was cut out using our Frames & Flags Die Set.

We love the gorgeous dimension you can create by just stacking the die cuts! The added glossy accents gives this card the perfect finishing touch!
