Hello Crafty Friends! How many of you love to create snowflakes for your cards, treat holders, and scrapbook pages? I love to create all different size of snowflakes when I paper craft! This card is even more beautiful in person! The silver glimmer paper is a must have and creates the prettiest snowflakes! I added some rhinestone gems to bring out more of that shimmer!  Technique: I took a small blending brush and picked up some ink from the Pretty Peacock stamp pad and blended most of the ink on a piece of scratch paper. I then lightly blended each snowflake on the Silent Snowflake specialty paper. The DSP has an embossed raised look to the snowflakes that's perfect for adding a little pop of color! This gives a soft subtle finish to your snowflakes.  You can do this with any color! Have fun playing with this technique! Let me know of you have any questions! You can find most of these products on my website here:   https://createwithliz.stampinup.net Shopping list: Peace...

 Hello all!  It's been a while since I've posted any artwork! The holidays were busy, and life got even busier! Some of you may have not heard the news last week. We received some heartbreaking news that CTMH will be closing their doors after 40 years in the paper-crafting industry on June 30, 2024! We are all trying to process this news and figure out what's next! I would have been with CTMH for 30 years this fall! I am extremely sad, but grateful for this amazing company, for the friendships I have made, and all the opportunities it gave me throughout my paper crafting career! I have learned so much! I am very grateful to my wonderful customers for their loyalty, friendship, and supporting me for nearly 30 years! I have the best customers!! I hope you will continue to follow me and support me in my next paper crafting adventure! Details coming soon!    This will be my last CTMH Card Workshop that I will be creating! It makes me sad that it's all coming to an end so...
