I used the Snowflake Wishes Bundle (Snowflake Wishes stamp set & So Many Snowflakes Dies) along with the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper – all of which are part of the Snowflake Splendor Suite Collection – to create today’s Christmas card. I’m also providing a sneak peek at an upcoming product, that will be available in the January – June 2021 Mini Catalog: Blending Brushes. I am very excited that Stampin’ Up! will be offering this amazing blending tool! I used one in a side to side motion to blend the three stripes of background color onto a layer of Whisper White card stock.

Here’s the sketch:
I recently attended Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage@Home virtual event for Demonstrators, where we got to see the new catalog and lots of new products. After the last day, my upline, Brian King, hosted a virtual After Party for his team members. He had given us a sketch challenge for the event, and we all got to show off what we made. Today’s card is the one I made for that challenge.

Colored using a Blender Brush:
- Whisper White CS layer in Balmy Blue, Highland Heather, and Night of Navy inks (top to bottom)

Cut using the Layering Ovals Dies:
- DSP oval
- Whisper White Thick CS slightly larger than the DSP ovalx
Cut using the So Many Snowflakes Dies:

Assembled the card:

- DSP strip glued onto the inside of the card base
- NOTE: There were some thin strips of DSP from previous projects lying around my craft table. After I had this one glued onto my card, I realized I had used one from the Feels Like Frost DSP instead of the Snowflake Splendor DSP. But, hey, it works!

I used the Gnome for the Holidays stamp set, Most Wonderful Time Dies, Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper, and Stampin’ Blends Markers to make today’s card. I love frosty hues of blue and purple in the paper, and those are the color I used to color the gnomes.

It’s time for the November 2020 IRBH! This month’s theme is Christmas. What could be more fun than playing in the snow with friends during the holidays? I used the Freezin’ Fun Bundle (Freezin’ Fun stamp set and Freezin’ Friends Dies) to create a fun scene on today’s Slimline card.
Be sure to hop around to all the stops. There’s a whole lot of talent in this group, and you don’t want to miss any of the great projects they’ve created for you today!
