Wonderful Snowflakes Archives - HIPPOFROG Designs

Due to the Bank Holiday, there wasn’t a Card & (Your) Cuppa session last week.

So, I’m sharing the third project from this year’s Christmas Card Club instead.

This project uses a returning item from last year, the Wonderful Snowflakes in the July-December Mini Catalogue.

The colour combination for this month’s project is Tahitian Tide and Orchid Oasis – two new In Colors, plus Basic White.

To create texture for the background, a length of the Metallic Mesh Ribbon is stuck down the centre.

A tag and the hole reinforcer from the Tailor Made Tag Dies are assembled and a piece of coordinating Metallic Woven Ribbon is looped through the hole.

Next, the Snowflake is stuck to the tag, along with a circle shape cut using the Stylish shapes Dies stuck on top.

Sentiment pieces from the Spruced Up Stamp Set are stamped and cut before being stuck across the circle.

The tag is then stuck to the project using Dimensionals.

Finally, some Iridescent Rhinestones are dotted across the project to add some extra Christmas sparkle.

If you like this project for August, and the previous projects from June and July, why not join me for Christmas Card Club in September. Booking closes on 9th August.

There are only three more Christmas Card Club projects left.

Join me at one of my online classes. Head to my Class Timetable for full details.

Happy crafting

The next project in my Countdown to Christmas 2021 series is another project from my recent Crack Your Christmas Cards Class.

Well, in fact it’s actually 3 projects as I’m sharing the rest of the projects from the class. I’m concentrating on this one, but the other two are at the end of this post.

We’re still trying to decide if this is a reinguin, a pendolph, or something else!

All the projects from the class used the Penguin Place Bundle (Penguin Place Stamp Set & Penguin Builder Punch) from the Mini Catalogue.

This project uses Cherry Cobbler.

The penguin is stamped, punched and the feet are added. Then, the antlers are stamped near to the top of the circle, cut using the Layering Circles Dies.

A length of Glittered Organdy Ribbon is then added. With the circles layered, these then sit over the end of the ribbon to make it look like a hanging bauble.

Next, a bow made from the ribbon sits at the top.

A sparkly red nose, from the Holiday Rhinestones are then added.

Finally, a few more coordinating rhinestones are dotted across the project.

The next project is this cute penguin with a Coastal Cabana flare created with a Sponge Dauber. You could also use a Blending Brush. He sits on a pretty snowflake.
