Creation Station December Blog Hop: Ice, Ice, Baby!

 


Welcome to the December Creation Station Hop!  Whether you've arrived from Julie's blog or have started the hop here, I am glad you've stopped by.  Our theme this month is "Ice, Ice, Baby!"  You'll see plenty of sparkle and shine today as you hop from one blog to the next.

I've chosen to use the Feels Like Frost specialty designer series paper (#150444) in my projects today.  I love the ice covered foliage in this photorealistic paper--and it fits right with the theme!  I've paired three of the blue shaded paper patterns with Night of Navy and Misty Moonlight card stock and Balmy Blue Glimmer paper (#153513).




My card features the beautiful sentiment from Peaceful Boughs stamp set (#150541).  It was stamped in Night of Navy ink onto Shimmery White card stock, embossed with Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder, and die cut with a frame from the Beautiful Boughs dies (#150661).  The floral die cut pieces mimic the icy foliage in the paper pattern.  They were die cut using the Dandy Wishes dies (#154315, available January 5).  The Night of Navy die cuts were coated with Shimmery Crystal Effects (#150892) and allowed to dry overnight.  A card base of Night of Navy, a layer of Balmy Blue Glimmer paper and a spattering of Clear Epoxy Droplets (#147801) and Night of Navy Holiday Rhinestones (#150457) complete the card.




The gift tag features similar icy foliage in a lighter patterned paper design and die cut foliage in Misty Moonlight (also coated with Shimmery Crystal Effects) and Balmy Blue glimmer paper.  The sentiment is from the Wrapped in Christmas stamp set (#153481).  It was stamped in Misty Moonlight, embossed with clear embossing powder and die cut with another frame from the Beautiful Boughs dies.  The tag is actually two tags--one of Balmy Blue glimmer paper and the other the decorated designer series paper which was adhered to a Misty Moonlight card stock layer. These were tied together with Metallic Mesh Ribbon (#153550) and the Misty Moonlight/silver baker's twine from the Flowers for Every Season ribbon combo pack (#153620). More droplets and rhinestones complete this fancy, sparkly tag.




The rectangle tin (#153519) was decorated with a different icy foliage pattern.  I rounded the corners of it and the Balmy Blue Glimmer paper layer with the Detailed Trio Punch (#146320).  The die cut foliage is from the Forever Flourishing dies (#152714).  The Misty Moonlight die cuts were again coated with the Shimmery Crystal Effects.  The sentiment is from the Curvy Christmas stamp set (#155364).  It was stamped in Misty Moonlight on Shimmery White card stock, embossed with clear embossing powder and die cut using a Stitched Nested Label die (#149638)   A bow of Metallic Mesh ribbon wrapped around the tin,  more droplets, and some Misty Moonlight In Color Enamel dots (#152480) complete the tin's decorations. 





Now hop on over to Martin's blog to see his icy projects--you are going to love his style!


Wishing you a wonderful holiday season!
