Card makes Homepage at ORSA

Every month ORSA (Ontario Rubber Stamping Artists) yahoo group has a challenge.  The card is to be made and then uploaded into a folder.
The challenge in January was to create a blue and white glittery card - and the card I submitted (even though it has a bit of red on it) made the home page here
Here is the card and the original post: http://craftymariasstampingworld.blogspot.com/2011/10/snowflake-easel-card-friday-mashup.html

Thank you Theresa for putting my card on the group homepage.

Medallion Christmas Ornament - Challenge 151

This ornament combines a medallion with a rosette, a snowflake and a butterfly.  It's large and awesome!


1.  Cut 13 pieces of Designer series paper (I used Letters to Santa) 2" by 2"
2.  Fold each piece in half and unfold.
3.  With a pencil or the handle of a paint brush, roll each piece diagonally.  Unroll gently.
4.  Fold into a cone shape.  Do this for all 13 pieces.
5.  Using a hot glue gun, attach each piece to a circle punched with a 1 1/4" circle punch.
See video:




6. Insert a jumbo eyelet in one of the medallions and attach a cherry cobbler and white Baker's twine through it.
7. Using the snowflake die, die cut a snow flake in Whisper White card stock and apply dazzling diamonds.
Attach it to the center of the medallion using stampin dimensionals.
8. Now make the rosette using 1 1/4" by 12" Cherry Cobbler card stock scored every 1/4" on the Simply Scored tool.
9. Attach a 1" circle in Cherry Cobbler punch with the 1" circle punch
10. On top of that attach a Cherry cobbler button.
11. On top of the button attach a butterfly die cut using the Beautiful wings die and silver glimmer paper.
12. Three pearls in the center of the butterfly complete the ornament.

Repeat steps 7 to 12 for the other side of the medallion.

Snowflake Easel Card- The Friday Mashup

The challenge this week with the Friday Mashup is to make an easel card with snowflakes on it.






Stamp: Snow Swirled, other stamp non SU
Inks: Pacific Point, Whisper white, Versa Mark
Papers: Pacific Point, Whisper White, Silver Glimmer Paper, Red Glimmer Paper
Accessories: Snowflake die, Snowflake punch, Iridescent Ice Embossing powder, Pearls, 5/8" whisper white organza ribbon, Beautiful wings die, Beautiful wings emboslitt, Eyelet border punch


 
 The above shows the easel card closed.

To make the background, I randomly stamped the various size snowflakes from the Snow Swirled stamp set using Whisper White ink onto Pacific Point card stock.  When the ink was dry, I covered the entire surface with Versa Mark, covered it with Iridescent ice embossing powder and set with the embossing tool.
A butterfly was added because as the challenge said:  " A Snowflake is Winter's Butterfly"
