June 30, 2023, Snow Ladies Trio Clear Stamp Set CLR233

Hey Y'all!!! The Snow Ladies Trio from Prickley Pear Stamps are so fabulous. I chose two of the three to use on this card. Wouldn't you just love to hang out with them? I would! Can't you imagine what trouble they are getting into? All the details for making this beautiful box yourself are below (including links).

I started by stamping these fun little Snow Ladies on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White paper and colored them with Copic markers.

The card base is cut from Real Red card stock. It's cut to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" on the long side. Just a tip I learned. Make sure you use your bone folder and burnish the fold well so it doesn't tear the paper.

I cut a piece of Neenah paper and colored it with the Distress Oxide inks. Just created a random pattern that would show through the holes in the Silver Foil. The paper I colored is glued flat to the back of the paper with the holes in it and the entire piece is glued directly to the card base using wet glue.

I used the Connected Oval die to cut the shape from a piece of Basic White card stock. It's glued with wet glue to the Silver Foil.

My two beautiful Snow Ladies are raised up with foam tape right in the center of the Connected Ovals piece. Obviously you can arrange them however you would like.

Snow Ladies has 6 fabulous sentiments. I stamped 'Merry Christmas' on Basic White card stock using Real Red ink. I cut it out with my Stitched So Sweetly die that I love so much. Creates a great visual with a fun border.

Don't you just wanna hang out with these ladies?

I cut a piece of patterned paper from the Gingerbread & Peppermint paper pack. It's 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" and glued flat to the card base. I made on more layer from Real Red and another piece of patterned paper. They are 5 1/4" x 2 1/2" & 5 1/8" x 2 3/8". I popped this layer up on the bottom of the card in the center with foam tape after I tied a piece of ribbon into a knot around it.

The PEACE word is popped up on the top with foam tape as well. Just center it between the edges all the way around.

I printed the image of the earth and the words 'On Earth' with Real Red ink. Fussy cut the 'On Earth' out like a banner and used a circle die to cut out the earth itself. The earth is glued down under the ribbon with wet glue and the 'On Earth' sentiment is popped up with foam tape.

And of course I added some dots. You know I'm all about shiny things. Merry Christmas Y'all! And Peace On Earth!
