October 2021 DT Inspiration Card Kit Day
By Cheryl Harlan
1- 8 1/2” x 5 1/2” scored at 4 1/4” piece of Powdered Sugar c/s. Using a Blender brush I inked the edge of the piece to be the front of the card with Grape ink (as dark as you would like) I only ink about 1” all the way around the paper.
Cut 1 -piece of Blue Jay paper using the largest Stitched rectangle die. Then using the snowflake stencil I used stencil paste to make snowflakes all the way around the outside edges of the rectangle. (I did not do the middle). Set aside to dry
Cut 1 piece of grape c/s using the 2nd largest scalloped rectangle dies. Set aside
*Now we will make a frame. I used the paper from the “Let it Snow” Collection from the kit. Using the 3rd largest scalloped rectangle and the 5th largest stitched rectangle die line the smaller die in the middle of the scalloped die and put some washi tape (or whatever you use to hole it in place) and run it thru your machine. Then cut 1 extra of the smaller rectangle angle die (whatever color you want) I used pixie c/s and inked it very lightly using grape and a blender brush. Then using ur stencil and stencil paste again add some snowflakes to this and set it aside to dry.
I then stamped and die cut the 3 little snowmen that came in the card kit. (Colored them and added 3’d ink and set aside to dry)
*if you cut out everything all at the same time you can stencil all you pieces at the same time. Then use your 3’d inks and set them all off to dry.
After everything is stenciled and 3’d inks dried it time to put it together. The striped ribbon I taped down at the bottom on the back of the paper. I ties a knot but did not tie the bow til the very end. Layered all the pieces using TSOL’s Adhesive foam. The last scalloped rectangle I used 2 pieces of the foam so the snowmen piece would sit lower than the frame. Then I added the “Let it Snow”words with glue.and tied the bow.
***Now for the “Let it Snow” Words.
First of all use TSOL’s Adhesive sheets on all 4 of these. Glueing the words would take forever and be messy. I cut the words out first with the grape paper in the TSOL Color Pearl paper B. I also cut from powdered sugar just the words 2 time Then I cut 1 from powdered sugar with the out side word frame. I then stacked the white letter on top of the white frame and the last was the grape “Let it Snow” words. I just wanted the words to stand out. If you don’t want them to be stacked up then don’t do it It will be beautiful anyway you do it.
Once you finish you just put the layers together and you have made my card. This card is not a hard card it just has a lot of layers

Card #2
A2 size card
8 1/2” x 5 1/2” scored @ 4 1/4”
1- 8 1/2” x 5 1/2” scored @ 4 1/4” of Powdered Sugar c/s
1 piece of 5 1/2” x 4 1/4” Patterned paper from the “Let it Snow” Collection *see note below
*make sure the paper design goes in the correct direction
1- 1” x 5 1/2” patterned paper for side paper ( I used the backside of the candy paper on the front)
Wrap a piece of the Guava striped ribbon around the side paper above. (I used tape to hold it down on the back side). Add TSOL’s doubled side adhesive down the strip and set aside. Make also a bow for the front to adhere later.
1- piece of silver glitter paper and 1 piece of grape c/s for the oval. To cut out the frame I used the 2nd largest New Pin Dot Fancy Frames die and from the Dotted Oval dies I used the the 5th largest die to make a frame. (To make the frame-I use washi tape to adhere the 2 dies together so the oval is centered in the center. make sure ur edges are the same all the way around). Then cut 1 oval out of Grape c/s using the 5th largest die. When both pieces are cut place them together using a little tape to hold them securely on the back and using TSOL’s Snow stencil and stencil paste I stenciled over the silver glitter paper and the grape oval. Remove stencil gently and set aside to dry (it doesn’t take long). Clean your stencil with hot soap and water. When dry add TSOL’ s foam adhesive and set aside.
Pick out the snowman you want to use from the Patterned paper pad. Die cut it out. I added some small dots of white on his scarf. Using TSOL’s foam mounting tape I cut some stripes and put on the back of the snowman. Now add him to the center of your grape oval die Add some Pom poms in the air for him to juggle and set aside to dry. (I used glue to adhere the Pom poms).
Now let’s put it together. Put your patterned paper down and add the side stripe with the ribbon with the foam adhesive. Then add you snowman with the frame w/ the adhesive so it overlaps onto the ribbon and it doesn’t overhang off the card. I then added my bow at the bottom.
There you have it. The front is finished. Glue or tape it down onto the powdered sugar card base. Now is when I use the 3’d inks. I used it on the snowman, the stenciled snow, and the ribbon. But you put it wherever you want.
The inside was super easy. I cut 2 pieces of patterned paper the same size. Glued them down. Cut 3 pf the snow from the dies and glued them down only using glue at the bottom somi could tuck the snowmen down into the snow. Stamped and colored both of the snowmen included in the card kit. Add some foam tape to the top only on the snowmen (glued the bottoms of the snowmen into the snow). And added Pom poms and used 3’d ink.
Really not a hard card. Cut and prep everything and then you just have to put it together.
Enjoy 💕

Cut 3 snow drifts from powdered sugar c/s…adhere to the bottom front of the doilie ( glue at the bottom so the snowmens feet will be able to go down into the snow
Stamp, cut and color 2 little snowmen and using the paper pad die cut out a snowman of your choice. I added white lines to mine and 3’d ink pen to all 3 of my snowmen. Set aside to dry.

I used foam tape to stack up the white and green and glued directly onto the guava paper. The used 3’d ink and sequins to decorate.
Made 1 guava striped bow
Now put it together…blue glitter paper glued or taped down onto the white c/s. Added the doilie to the bottom of the card If any of the snow paper is hanging over the edges gently cut it away from the edges now add the snowmen to the doilie. Next add the sentiment to the top with glue or tape…add the bow and add some epoxy dots into the snow I added some glue to keep the secure
