November 12 Tribute to Snowflake Dies

Free Second Wednesday Workshops at 6:00 PM ET. Email me at grammy2bo@gmail.com to register. You will receive a confirmation email. The Sunday before class you will receive an email reminder and Zoom link.

This class will not be recorded.

This workshop is a tribute to my all-time favorite Snowflake dies. Thus is an annual event. Every year I do something different with the many sizes and shapes of Altenew’s snowflake dies. Wander back through my blog to see past years’ snowflake creations.

I encourage you to use what you have and use my card and techniques to inspire you to go off in your own direction.

The card above will be taught in my workshop. You are welcome to make it is simple or complex as you wish.

The following are supplies I used in class and will be discounted for a brief time right after Altenew announces the class in their newsletter.

Homework:

I recommend die cutting snowflakes before class. Mine are adhered in layers of five snowflakes of various shapes and sizes. You can use as many layers as you wish.

Our first step will be the background. Color and 3d Embossing Folder of your choice.

This is a card I submitted for an Instagram Wax Seal Reel Hop. It inspired this workshop. If you prefer flowers rather than snowflakes, go for it.

My next Second Wednesday Workshop will be December 10th. We will be making fancy tags, one of my mosts favorite things to make.
