All About Blue Blog Hop


Welcome to SU Stamping Blog Hop. Theme is All About Blue. You may have got to my blog from Jane's blog


I decided to make a snowflake wreath using Snowflake 2 die. Cardstock, Bashful Blue, Night of Navy, and Temping Turquoise. Base for the wreath was made with the cardboard that comes in the designer paper packs. I traced a dinner plate, then I traced a lunch plate for the center of the wreath. Since the cardboard is white I added color using Night of Navy ink and a brayer. Some of the flakes are attached using pop dots, others are attached using glue dots. Doily punch used for the center piece, and on the flakes. Love the look with the doily punch and the glitter silver paper. Lollies were made using 1 1/4 inch by 12 inch strips of white cardstock. Strips were scored at 1/2 intervals using Simply Scored tool, then the strip was turned over on the score tool and scored again at 1/4 intervals. Next step was to punch the edge of the scored strip using eyelet border punch. After that was done the strip was accordion folded, ends glued together and pressed down to form a circle. Pretty simple to do but a bit time consuming. Blossom Bouquet triple layer punch used for the centers of the lollies. Pennant die was used for the inside decoration. Snow Much Fun snowman was stamped on white with basic black and colored with matching markers. Snowflake at the bottom was attached using a jump ring.
