Thanks so much to Heidi and all at Simon HQ for sending me a parcel of Cozy Hugs crafty goodness!
In my parcel was this gorgeous Glistening Snowflakes Embossing Folder and Die Set and I made a couple of cards using it!.
For this first one I made a fun shaker (I love shakers ;-))
I started by blending Faded Jeans, Chipped Saphire and Pumice Stone Distress Inks onto Watercolor Card Stock and then dipped the card into puddles of the colors, drying between each dipping. I then used the die to cut out the aperture, before making the shaker. I die cu the coordinating snowflake and used Hero Arts Earth Safe Glitter to add sparkle.
For this second one I embossed plain white Card Stock to emboss the design and then used the die cut star to pop on top. I used a little Peal Lustre Gilding Polish to add shimmer to the raised area.
Thanks for looking!
