MIM #92

Make It Monday #92 features a video from Melissa Phillips showing us how she creates Layered Vellum Die Cut cards.  Check it out HERE

I made a simple card using a mason jar on vellum and stamped onto patterned paper. There are a couple of snowflakes in the jar and a few more falling from the sentiment. I also punched out some extras to put inside the card for the recipient to gather up off the floor when they open this card :o)


Cardstock:  Card base is Stamper's Select White by PTI; polka dot is from AC Moore; cloudy Vellum is from Fiscars (the cloudiness looks like snow in 'good' light); White Glitter & navy blue snowflakes punched from Target papers
Sentiment: generated from my computer and 'Blessings' from PTI's Fall Elegance
Tools & embellishments:  Corner Rounder from EK Success; Snowflake is Marvy; clear bling from Studio G; Baker's Twine is Darice from ACMoore

  8. Great idea Helen. The vellum over the jar reminds me of a firefly jar my son made for me. It lights up. The snowflakes are perfect.

  9. This is a fun card. Great idea using the snowflakes, and I love the idea of having a few to trickle out as it's opened. Fun. ;-)
