Custom Snowflake Background

November 12, 2017 0 Comments


Hello crafty friends! Today I have a card and a video with a winter theme using the Snowflake Whispers and Cool Buddies stamp sets. I love the beautiful snowflakes from Snowflake Whispers and I love creating a custom background. So I decided to layer the snowflakes using some Distress Oxide inks. You can get more details in the video:


Distress Oxide inks give great crisp impressions even on detailed images like these snowflakes. I added the fox from Cool Buddies because I knew the orange fox would really pop off the blue monochromatic card.

43 Cards with The Paper Studio Winter Wonderland 6x6 Paper Pad

43 Christmas Card One 6x6 Paper Pad tutorial by Jess Crafts

Hello crafty friends! Today I have another 6x6 Paper Pad tutorial this time featuring a pad from The Paper Studio that was purchased at Hobby Lobby. I am obsessed with Doodlebug 6x6 pads but their newest Christmas line is not out yet. Don't worry though because when they have their next release I will be getting the Christmas and Halloween to do videos for. However I've gotten a few requests for a Christmas pad and could pick this one up locally on sale. I was happy to see the animal cut aparts in this pad. Many of today's cards will go to the Cards for Little Hearts card drive. Please note that particular drive is only requesting general holiday cards and not ones that reference Christmas. There are however prizes for participating and my digital stamp store is one of the sponsors. Once I had made the 43 cards there was very little left over and I really felt like I got the most out of my pad. To see it all in action check out the video.


I made 3 of most designs but there are some unique cards and well as some that I made 2 similar ones by combining the 2 inch strips that were left from cutting down card sized pieces. Keep scrolling to see pictures of different designs and get some measurements. Not all designs are shown.
