Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Snowfall Accents Puff Paint

Hello Crafty Friends

Welcome to Stamping Sunday Blog Hop for October. This month the Stamping Sunday Design Team are showcasing another new product from the Holiday Catalogue - The Snowfall Accents Puff Paint.

Omg this item is so much fun to play with. Add texture or 3D effects by applying the paint to your projects and then using a Heat Tool, watch the magic happen as the paint puffs up. Perfect for snowy scenes especially those with snowmen!

I love non traditional Christmas colours for my festive season creations, and decided today's projects I would use a colour combination of Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape. I have also used items from Holly Jolly Christmas Bundle, Snow Globe Scene Dies along with sentiments from Tidings All Around and Snowman Season stamp sets.

I have three creations to share with you today, one for each level crafter. I prefer to not do the whole "step up the same card', instead opting to use the same elements, stamp set or colour scheme in all three creations.

For crafters who are just starting their stamping/papercraft experience, a gift tag is perfect as its small and not as daunting as a full card front.

The Snowfall Accents Puff Paint is reasonably easy to use, with a steady hand and a heat tool the die cut Stockings have a new lease on life. Using the Paint around the "tops" of stocking to mimic a fluffy cuff.

Casual crafters will enjoy the variety of features in this card as it uses a few different techniques and products - embossing paste, stamping, colouring with Stampin' Blends, die cutting, heat embossing and fussy cutting. Puff Paint has been added to Santa's hat, cuffs and waistband.

For the Avid crafter this card I added more die cut and stamped elements. The card front has embossing paste, ink splatters, more coloured and fussy cut images, metallic twine and Puff Paint on the Stockings Santa's hat and cuffs.

That is all for me today. Be sure to keep hopping for more inspirational and creative ideas and projects using the Snowfall Accents Puff Paint. Up next is my friend and fellow Artisan, Manuela Geiswinkler with her amazingly gorgeous 'puffy' projects. Enjoy x
