Falling Snow Archives - HIPPOFROG Designs

The project for week 4 of my Countdown to Christmas 2024 series is one of my go to Christmas Card designs.

For this version, I’ve used Crumb Cake and Blackberry Bliss, with gold accents to coordinate with the ribbon. It also only uses one ink pad with tone-on-tone stamping.

This card isn’t in the more traditional Christmas colours, but has a more rustic feel.

First, I created the background using the Falling Snow Background Stamp Set. As background stamps are larger, only one inking up and stamp is needed to fill the card.

New Textured Ribbon from the Mini Catalogue in Blackberry Bliss and Gold then creates the ribbon across the parcel.

Next, the sentiment is created, this is from the Snowy Wonder Stamp Set and cut out using the Modern Oval Punch. I’ve layered another cut out from the Punch in Blackberry Bliss behind it.

The sentiment is then stuck on with Dimensionals.

Finally, coordinating gold sequins from the Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins are added for a touch of festive bling.

What I really love about this design is how versatile it is. Use any colours, stamps, bling and more for your creation. You can also use strips of DSP for the ribbon and change it to landscape too. The possibilities with this design are endless and it’s why it’s a firm favourite design of mine.

Week 3 of my Countdown to Christmas 2024 series uses a new Bundle from the current Mini Catalogue.

This is the Christmas Friends Stamp Set and Dies Bundle. The polar bear is just one of the four friends you’ll find in the set.

First, a snowy scene was created using the Falling Snow Stamp Stamp, also from the Mini Catalogue. This large background stamp is stamped in Balmy Blue.

The polar bear and sentiment are stamped in Gray Granite. These are cut out using the dies, along with the Basic Beige circle, Garden Green and Old Olive greenery and a Real Red bow.

Onto the circle, the images are stamped in Garden Green, with a little bit of additional shading added using a Blending Brush.

Colouring of the polar bear is with Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen.

A length of Trim is then added across the project before all of the pieces are attached, with the polar bear and sentiment raised up using Dimensionals.

Don’t forget to book your place on my Christmas Card Making Day by 30th October. Full details can be found here.
