I was at a crop this past weekend and saw some lovely creations. As I walked past one lady, I saw she was working on a scrapbook page kit that included big umbrellas. Well, you know me, I want to copy everything I see. And I thought to myself, I could make that. So I started working on a prototype. Here’s the card I came up with.
I used the Circles Framelits dies to cut a large circle. I cut it about in half – maybe a little less than half. Then I used a 1-1/4 inch circle punch to cut the scallops along the bottom. For more scallops, you could use a smaller punch. I drew the ribs with the light Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blendabilities marker from each scallop point to the top.
I actually made two of these – one out of the All Is Calm DSP and one out of Lost Lagoon card stock. I put the DSP on top of the card stock with Stampin Dimensionals to create a 3D effect.
I took a thin scrap of Smoky Slate card stock, punched a 1/2 inch circle near one end, then cut the rest of the handle with my paper snips.
I stamped the sentiment from the Holiday Cheer stamp set onto Soft Sky card stock, then punched it out with the mitten builder punch. I punched another mitten from Lost Lagoon card stock and trimmed it for the cuff.
I used the silver dotted All Is Calm DSP for falling snow, layered it on a Silver Foil Sheet, and layered that onto a Lost Lagoon card.
Here’s what I used:
