Christmas in July 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party ~ Snowglobe Christmas ~ RAM Stamps

 Hello there crafty friend!

It's day 3 of the Christmas in July 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party!! I'm excited to share another sweet card that I've made to add to my Christmas stash! This time I played with the adorable Snowglobe Christmas Digital Stamp from our fabulous Sponsor RAM Stamps. Such a sweet and adorable digital stamp!

I really enjoyed coloring the adorable Snowglobe Christmas Digital Stamp up with my Copic markers. I used neutrals and blues to coordinate with my blue and silver background. If you visited yesterday and saw my Day 2 card, this is one of the other digital images I printed off. I like to have three or four digital images on a sheet before I print it off. This way I'm less likely to waste card stock. Once I was happy with my coloring, I die cut the panel using a die from the Deckle & Stitches Nesting Die Set from our lovely Sponsor Unity Stamp Co.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11

Hair: E70, E71, E74, E77

Hair Clip / Ribbon: R20, R14

Scarf / Tights: B000, B00, B02, B04, B28

Coat: C00, C1, C3, N0, N1, N2, N3, N4, N6

Gloves: R20, R14, B000, B02

Shoes: N0, N2, N4, N6

Snowglobe: C00, C1, C3, B0000, B000, G24, E51, E55, E57

Snow: N0, N1, N3

Snowflakes: B0000, B000

Outline: B0000, B000, B00

I used a retired Deco Foil Toner Card Front called Snow Many Flakes by Unity and Therm O Web for my snowflake layer. I trimmed a piece of Silver Shattered Glass Deco Foil Transfer Sheet and laid it on top of the card front foil facing up. I ran it through my laminator after it was heated up a few minutes after the green light came on. I've found my laminator does better if it has those extra couple of minutes. Such a quick and easy background it created! And beautiful! Love these foils! For my blue layer I wanted to try something a little different. I wanted some texture on my foil so I die cut a piece of white card stock using the slightly larger die from the one I used for the main panel. And then I applied some Deco Foil Transfer Gel Duo with a palette knife along the edges of the die cut card stock. I didn't apply it evenly. I left bumps and layers in the transfer medium to give texture to the foils. I let the transfer medium dry and placed a piece of Deep Blue Deco Foil Transfer Sheet over the tacky panel and ran it through my laminator since it was on. I could have ran it through my Big Shot to apply the foil since the Deco Foil Transfer Gel Duo works both ways.

All of my layers and the die cut snowflakes are adhered using iCraft UltraBond Adhesive from Sponsor Therm O Web. I used the Sizzix Sidekick Side-Order Winter Set from Tim Holtz for the snowflakes. They were in my stash of precut die pieces... so handy! I added foam tape called iCraft 3D Foam Tape Jumbo Roll (white), also from Therm O Web, to the back of the main panel and popped it up on the card. I stamped the Happy Holiday sentiment from the Wishing You Mini stamp set from our wonderful Sponsor Gina K. Designs. I inked it up using Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink on white card stock. Trimmed up the sentiment, added a small piece of foam tape to the left end and then glued the rest of the sentiment to the card. For one final touch on the card, I added some glittery goodness to the snowglobe using a Nuvo Glitter Gloss Aqua Shimmer pen. I wish it showed up in the photos... it's really pretty in person!
