Stamper’s Dozen Blog Hop…Christmas!

Welcome to the Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop…Christmas!  Thank you for joining us on our hop!

I had a difficult time trying to decide on what to make.  Finally I decided to share with you my Christmas plate.  On the last blog hop I shared with you my  Hello Fall plate and decided to update it  for this blog hop.  It was VERY hard to decide what stamp sets to use.  There are so many wonderful sets available in the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog.   Don't be surprised if I share another plate idea soon.  

Are you wondering where those big snowflakes are from?   It might be hard to believe but they are the spider web doilies.  I inked up the back of the spider web doilies with VersaMark and covered them with a mix of White embossing powder and Iridescent Ice embossing powder.  Don't they look totally different?

It is hard to capture all the glitter and shine on the snowflakes.  I definitely need a glitter setting on my camera.  I also used VersaMark and a custom mix of Silver embossing powder and Silver glitter to cover the Snowflake Elements.  They add a lot of sparkle to the plate.

I love the Christmas Greetings Thinlits dies and hope we will get more words using this font.  I wanted to keep up the glittery look so I cut the peace out using Silver Glimmer paper.  

Once again I built the design on a separate piece and attached it to the plate using velcro.
