Dreamweaver/Stampendous/Core'dinations: SANDY Claus is Coming to Town - Day Four


SANDY Claus is Coming to Town!

Yes...SANDY Claus! All of this week, the Stampendous and Dreamweaver teams are playing with a mix of their products, along with some wonderful, SAND-ABLE papers from Core'dinations. Join us as we sand our way to the "core" of all things Christmas and the Holiday season. Of course, there will be prizes, and we give away the best...this time with a mix of fun Core'dinations products as well. To be one of three prize package winners, follow the posted link lists each day, leave a comment, and winners will be selected from these comments at the beginning of next week. Here is what you might win:


Here's what I'm showing off today:

Okay. I am officially in love with Stampendous' new "Spoonful of Snow"! A pre-mix of chunky white embossing powder, crystal glitters, and Shaved Ice, all in its own container to scoop over any pigment or watermark ink. Just heat and watch the magic happen! In the case of my card today, I had paste-embossed the Dreamweaver Mittens in regular white paste, and poured the "Snow" over the surface. I pressed it into the paste a bit, and let it sit a few minutes before heating it. The paste puffs a bit, the glitters and embossing powder meld, and the shave ice adds the most iridescent bits of color you've ever seen!

The base of my card is Core'dinations Essentials cardstock in teal and aqua, which has been machine-embossed with the new Dreamweaver Holiday Borders Embossing Folder, sanded, cut in panels, and adhered to the card front. The large snowflake is from a new set of dies from Stampendous which matches a set of Snowflakes stamps. I used the largest die as my base for this fun Winter Wonderland sentiment, stamped with Versamark and embossed in Aqua Embossing Powder.
