Hello! Mix It Monday is taking a hiatus this week so I can share this card and make an exciting announcement! There's a lot to be delighted about with this card, but too much to talk about in this intro. Get comfortable and read on!
Let's start with what makes this card unique. This card is the answer to Val's challenge to use every stamp in one stamp set to make a complete card. Every sentiment, every image, and no additions from other sets. It had to be at least a 4" x 6" stamp set and it had to have at least one sentiment (so no, a background stamp wasn't gonna cut it).
This is actually an Instagram challenge, meant to celebrate that Val has hit 100 followers on Insta. So if you would like to see more, search for #1stampset1cardhop and check out all the amazing creations!
I was immediately drawn to this set because it fit all the requirements, but since the snowflake elements were designed to stamp on top of each other, I could still get a simpler card out of the process. No fancy folds or sleight of hand needed! Being able to so quickly design this card in my head made it suddenly seem like the perfect time to try something new, and the source of my exciting announcement!
After much longing, consideration, and talking myself in and out of the idea, I have started a YouTube channel! I'm Passionsanddistractions over there as well, but no need to hunt for me! I'm going to make it simple and link you right here!
I hope you enjoyed watching me create the card, instead of reading my usual tutorial. Please be sure to subscribe, as I plan for some things to only appear there and some things to only appear on my blog. While you're at it, I hope you also subscribe to my blog, follow me on Instagram, and like my Facebook page. I have a lot of passions (and distractions!) I want to share with you!
