CraftyHunnypots: Mini catalogue swap 2020

Well hello everyone and welcome to my blog. I've recently taken part in a mini catalogue swap with some of the Pootler's team members, and this is the card that I made for the group that I was in. We had to use products from the then new mini catalogue to give each other some ideas as to how we've used them. Hope you like the card I made, I certainly had a lot of fun making it.

Materials needed:

Thick whisper white cardstock

1pc - 4 1/8" x 11 5/8" scored on long side @ 5 13/16" - card base

2pc - 2 1/8" x 3 5/8" for 2 x die cut tags - 1 tag

Scrap pieces to stamp and die cut 1 x snowman 2 x trees

1pc - 5/8" x 2 3/4" for the sentiment banner

Purple posy cardstock

1pc - 3 7/8" x 5 9/16" for front of card layer embossed 2" from the bottom

Scrap piece for die cutiing 1 x fern

Silver foil sheets

piece for die cutting 3 x ferns

Snowflake splendor DSP

1pc - 2 1/8" x 3 5/8" for 1 x die cut tag

1pc - 1/2" x 3 7/8" for the strip on front of card

Whisper white cardstock

1pc - 4" x 5 11/16" for the inside of card - snowflakes stamped in all 4 corners

1 1/2" (3.8cm) Metallic mesh ribbon

1pc -approx 8" cut in half length ways for the tag bow (only half used)

Card recipe:

1. Cut, score and burnish your card base.

2. Cut, stamp and glue into place your inside of card layer.

3. Cut, emboss and glue to the front of your card your purple posy cardstock layer.

4. Cut and glue into place the dsp strip for the front of your card.

5. Die cut your 2 x white tags and emboss 1 of them.

6. Die cut your dsp tag and then glue the other white tag that you've cut onto the reverse side (this makes the dsp tag stronger).

7. Stamp, die cut and colour your snowman, just die cut the trees they don't need colouring (stamp 1 x 1st generation ink and then 1 x 2nd generation ink).

8. Your 1st generation tree you need to cut into two seperate trees, glue the large one onto the embossed tag (over to the left side).

9. Glue your dsp tag over the embossed tag moving it to the right hand side a bit so that your tree shows.

10. Glue your snowman on to the tags using dimensionals, now glue the small tree under the snowman on the right hand side. Cut the 2nd generation tree in to two and glue the larger one under the snowman on the left hand side.

11. Take your piece of ribbon and thread it through the tag hole and tie it into a bow.

12. Glue the whole tag topper on to the front of your card using dimensionals.

13. Die cut all of your ferns and then gue them into place on the front of your card tucking them under the tag topper.

14. Cut your sentiment banner and stamp the sentiment on it, now using dimensionals glue this on the front of your card.

Hope you enjoyed the project, like I say I really loved making it the snowman is just so gorgeous. It's really hard for me to resist a snowman and when I saw it in the mini catalogue I just had to have it.

Take care till next time
