Clearsnap Creative Team Creates Cards! World Card Making Day 2013

Jennifer Priest's photo.




Ink, stamps, foils, and glitter… yeah!! We love card-making here at Clearsnap so our Creative Team decided to throw a card-making party today, during World Card Making Day 2013! Hop through the list of our Creative Team’s blogs, check out their fab projects, and then leave a comment on each blog post. We have TWO prizes up for grabs!!

To enter to win an assortment of Limited Editions Cat’s Eyes, comment on each blog in the hop.

To enter to win the Rollagraph and Inkpad Assortment, use the rafflecopter widget on the Clearsnap Blog.


This envelope card is definitely a favorite of mine to create.  It can be used for so many different occasions.  Instead of just handing family and friends a gift card or some cash for the holidays, why not place it inside an envelope card created especially for that individual?  They will love it.



Supplies:
Clearsnap Chalk Ink - Blue Lagoon
Smooch Spritz - Vanilla Shimmer
Cardstock:  Bazzill
Stamps: Hero Arts
Scoring tool:  Scor-Buddy
Dies:  Spellbinders
Jewels:  TheRobin's Nest




Start by cutting 2 pieces of cardstock 4 1/4" x 11"
Score each piece at 5 1/2"



Adhere the 2 pieces together creating a tri-fold card

 
Cut the 2 outer panels on the diagonal to create the criss cross effect
 
 
 
Stamp snowflakes on white cardstock and cut to fit the 2 panels
Spritz each piece with Vanilla Shimmer
I am a messy spritzer, so the Clearsnap Color Catcher comes in very handy!!!!
 

Adhere the white panels to the card, overlapping and adhering together to create the envelope.

 
Stamp sentiment on white cardstock
Using Spellbinders dies, die cut into a circle
Die cut a larger scalloped circle from cardstock
Adhere to the card front
 
Cut a panel of white cardstock to fit inside.
 
So are you ready to Hooooooooooooooooooooooop?
 
Here’s the list – enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by today and remember to leave a comment at every stop along the hop to be entered for a chance to win some Clearsnap products.
 
Steph
