Glory of Snow from the Snow Garden Collection by Susan Tierney-Cockburn

Today I have 2 cards from the Spellbinders Paper Arts Snow Garden Collection by Susan Tierney-Cockburn. This collection features hot foil plates and Susan Tierney-Cockburn’s beautiful layered paper flowers. I want for super clean and simple for this 1st card today with the Glory of Snow Etched Dies.

Everything was die cut in white. The blue flowers are colored by blending a little bit of tumbled glass distress oxide ink onto the petals. The leaves are blended with peeled paint distress oxide ink. So simple and so pretty.

Next is a bit more involved with some reverse foiling using the Winter Bough Hot Foil Plate.

The Glimmer Essential Arched hot foil plate (which is a solid foil plate) is one of my favorites. Sentiment is gold heat embossed and is from the Pine Cones and Holly Clear stamp of the month. The poinsettias are from Bibi’s Snowflake Card Creator Etched Dies. And the label die is also new from Bibi’s collection called the Pierced mini labels etched dies.

Bibi’s Snowflake Collection by Bibi Cameron and Spellbinders

Hi stamping friends. Today I have 2 cards to share from Bibi’s new Snowflake Collection. The Snowflake Card Creator Etched Dies are so great. It has 12 Cutting Dies including pine needles, poinsettia berries and holly. This is a HUGE snowflake die. It’s just over 6″ wide.

I cut the snowflake with White Frosting Chunky glitter paper. The light pink Flurry of Snowflakes 3d embossed panel is Pink Lemonade paper. Both are from Your Paper Insider (Box 4).

Next Up is a Snowflake card. I scored and folded a 6.5 x 12 paper in half and put the fold just under the edge of the die to create the card base. The die cut part of the sentiment is from Snowflake Wishes Clear Stamp & Die Set. I wanted to add some glimmer so I used the Glitter Wishes Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set underneath.

Here’s a shot of it open. The circle is 3.5 inches wide and is a perfect fit. (Fluted Classics Circles set).

This card is BUG. Perfect for attaching to the top of a gift or add some ribbon and tie it to a wine bottle. If you want to mail it you will need to make a custom envelope. Bibi’s Snowflakes is a beautiful collection to celebrate the winter season. Get yours today!
