Today I’m sharing another card we made at my Stamp Club’s December virtual gathering. It could be a Christmas holiday card, or just a wintery thinking of you card. We used the In the Pines stamp set, Snow Globe Scenes Dies, Snow Globe Shaker Domes, and Snowflake Sequins to make this lovely shaker dome card.

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Whisper White Thick card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
- Whisper White Thick CS layer cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″
Cut using the Snow Globe Scenes Dies:
- globe shaped hole in the white layer
- globe base from a scrap of a Silver Foil Sheet
Stamped with the In the Pines stamp set:
- First I laid the die cut layer on the card base where it would later be adhered, and used a pencil to lightly trace the shape of the die cut hole, so I would know where to stamp on the front of the card base.
- small tree outlines in Pretty Peacock ink
- small tree fills in Shaded Spruce ink
- sentiment in Shaded Spruce ink onto the white layer
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- adhesive backing removed from the front of the shaker dome, then the white layer places over the dome and pressed to adhere the dome onto the back of the layer
- snowflake sequins (about 1/2 teaspoon or so) placed on the card base, making sore to keep them well within the pencil line
- adhesive backing removed from the back of the dome, and glue applied to the rest of the back of the layer
- white layer pressed in place over the sequins
- dome base glued onto the layer, under the dome

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

Assembled the card:
