Add a Little Dazzle and Stampendous - Blog Hop Day #3

This is week there is lots of excitement at Add a Little Dazzle since we've partnered with Stampendous and all week long you will have the opportunity to see amazing projects created by both design teams, using Stampendous stamps and dies and Add a Little Dazzle craft metal.

As every Wednesday today we also have our Dazzling Diva Challenge: Home for the Holidays! My card for today features Baby Blue Metal Sheet, Snowflake Die Set – DCS5069, Cling Delicate Snow – CRS5069.


To make my card first I stamped and heat embossed this elegant and gorgeous snowflake various times to create a background on the craft metal piece. I used pearlescent powder to give it a subtle sparkle. Next I used the silver backing of the metal sheet to heat emboss three snowflakes in white. I die cut them with their coordinating die.


I added a piece of gross grain ribbon in white to create contrast and created a snowflake cluster. I used vynil stickers to decorate my snowflakes and some turquoise pearls for the background.

I enjoyed using this amazing snowflake set from Stampendous to create this CAS card. This will be a great card for anyone in the family when Christmas arrives.


I hope you find time to play along our challenge this week, for a chance to win a $15 voucher to the store!

If you'd like to purchase gorgeous metal sheets, embossing pastes, Inka Gold, stencils and more please click HERE.

There is more to see while you hop along to check out what the team has created for the challenge. As for me, I will be back tomorrow with a very different project for you, so stay tuned!

    Beautiful. Stamping the snowflakes on the large metal piece and then cutting another piece of metal to pop the snowflakes off the card is a wonderful idea. Thanks for sharing a great project.

That is why my latest Holiday projects have been on the quick and easy side so you can try them out if you need to! The usual theme for New Year's cards is usually monochromatic, metallic... But, what if we used colorful Holiday colors instead? Why not? Well, this time you'll see me use papers from Simple Stories Very Merry Collection. Video Tutorial This is short and sweet video tutorial where I show you how I put together this card.
