Winter Sparkle For The Pals Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the Pals have been busy creating cozy, frosty, whimsical card ideas and paper crafts for our Winter Wonderland theme — using our favorite Stampin’ Up! goodies. Each project brings a different twist, and that’s what makes the hop feel like a stroll through a creative winter village. If you’re looking for inspiration (or maybe a reason to stay inside with your craft supplies), this hop is for you!

I made a gift set for this wintery theme for my neighbor. I have a special fold card and a treat box that shines/glitters! For the card, I have used the Cloud Cover card stock for the base and it is cut as usual but I adhered part of the left side to make look like a book. I used the glimmer paper in the lighter color blue with the Peaceful Garden DSP for the background. I did heat emboss the snowflakes from Sparkling Snowflakes the set stamped in VersaMark ink plus white embossing powder. I stamped the Cloud Cover snowflake on white card stock and added the sentiment from the same set in Secret Sea ink and cut out with the Stylish Shapes dies. I then added rhinestones and a white glitter organdy ribbon bow. 

For the treat bag, I used a piece of the same DSP and followed Sam Hammond's tutorial over at pootles.co.uk which you can see here.  I used the same ribbon to tie close and the same set to emboss the DSP (done before making into box)plus the sentiment and cut with the same dies. I added the two Lindor truffles inside. 

Keep the inspiration going! Follow the lineup below to hop through each blog and enjoy every beautifully frosty idea.
And stick around — next month we’re creating for the “Something New” theme, and you won’t want to miss it!
